This can be used by a driver to prepare skbs for transmission, which were
obtained via functions such as ieee80211_probereq_get or
ieee80211_nullfunc_get.
This is useful for drivers that want to send those frames directly, but
need rate control information to be prepared first.

This patch fixes errors in the mesh powersave logic which
cause that remote peers do not get peer power mode change
notifications and mesh peer service periods (MPSPs) got
stuck.
When closing a peer link, set the (now invalid) peer-specific
power mode to 'unknown'.
Avoid overhead when local power mode is unchanged.
Reliably clear MPSP flags on peering status update.
Avoid MPSP flags getting stuck by not requesting a further
MPSP ownership if we already are an MPSP owner.

To use DFS in IBSS mode, userspace is required to react to radar events.
It can inform nl80211 that it is capable of doing so by adding a
NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS attribute when joining the IBSS.
This attribute is supplied to let the kernelspace know that the
userspace application can and will handle radar events, e.g. by
intiating channel switches to a valid channel. DFS channels may
only be used if this attribute is supplied and the driver supports
it. Driver support will be checked even if a channel without DFS
will be initially joined, as a DFS channel may be chosen later.

When the driver requests to move to STATIC or DYNAMIC SMPS,
we send an action frame to each associated station and
reconfigure the channel context / driver.
Of course, non-MIMO stations are ignored.
The beacon isn't updated. The association response will
include the original capabilities. Stations that associate
while in non-OFF SMPS mode will get an action frame right
after association to inform them about our current state.
Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an
action frame before the EAPOL is finished can be an issue
for a few clients. Clients aren't likely to send EAPOL
frames in MIMO anyway.
When the SMPS configuration gets more permissive (e.g.
STATIC -> OFF), we don't wake up stations that are asleep
We remember that they don't know about the change and send
the action frame when they wake up.
When the SMPS configuration gets more restrictive (e.g.
OFF -> STATIC), we set the TIM bit for every sleeping STA.
uAPSD stations might send MIMO until they poll the action
frame, but this is for a short period of time.

With the removal of the routing cache, we lost the
option to tweak the garbage collector threshold
along with the maximum routing cache size. So git
commit 703fb94ec ("xfrm: Fix the gc threshold value
for ipv4") moved back to a static threshold.
It turned out that the current threshold before we
start garbage collecting is much to small for some
workloads, so increase it from 1024 to 32768. This
means that we start the garbage collector if we have
more than 32768 dst entries in the system and refuse
new allocations if we are above 65536.

Alexei reported a performance regression on vxlan, caused
by commit 3347c9602955 "ipv4: gso: make inet_gso_segment() stackable"
GSO vxlan packets were not properly segmented, adding IP fragments
while they were not expected.
Rename 'bool tunnel' to 'bool encap', and add a new boolean
to express the fact that UDP should be fragmented.
This fragmentation is triggered by skb->encapsulation being set.
Remove a "skb->encapsulation = 1" added in above commit,
as its not needed, as frags inherit skb->frag from original
GSO skb.

Patch ed08495c3 "tcp: use RTT from SACK for RTO" always re-arms RTO upon
obtaining a RTT sample from newly sacked data.
But technically RTO should only be re-armed when the data sent before
the last (re)transmission of write queue head are (s)acked. Otherwise
the RTO may continue to extend during loss recovery on data sent
in the future.
Note that RTTs from ACK or timestamps do not have this problem, as the RTT
source must be from data sent before.
The new RTO re-arm policy is
1) Always re-arm RTO if SND.UNA is advanced
2) Re-arm RTO if sack RTT is available, provided the sacked data was
sent before the last time write_queue_head was sent.

Pekka Pietikäinen reports xt_socket behavioural change after commit
00028aa37098o (netfilter: xt_socket: use IP early demux).
Reason is xt_socket now no longer does an unconditional sk lookup -
it re-uses existing skb->sk if possible, assuming ->sk was set by
ip early demux.
However, when netfilter is invoked via bridge, this can cause 'bogus'
sockets to be examined by the match, e.g. a 'tun' device socket.
bridge netfilter should orphan the skb just like the routing path
before invoking ipv4/ipv6 netfilter hooks to avoid this.

The slave list will add and del by bond_master_upper_dev_link() and
bond_upper_dev_unlink(), which will call call_netdevice_notifiers(),
even it is safe to call it in write bond lock now, but we can't sure
that whether it is safe later, because other drivers may deal
NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER in sleep way, so I didn't admit move the
bond_upper_dev_unlink() in write bond lock.
now the bond_for_each_slave only protect by rtnl_lock(), maybe use
bond_for_each_slave_rcu is a good way to protect slave list for bond,
but as a system slow path, it is no need to transform
bond_for_each_slave() to bond_for_each_slave_rcu() in slow path, so in
the patchset, I will remove the unused read bond lock for monitor
function, maybe it is a better way, I will wait to accept any relay
for it.

2.remove unused bond->lock for monitor function, only use the existing rtnl lock().

Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were
not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the
kernel. The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g.
J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened
when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted.
In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial:
During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch
CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called.
It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and
one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task
thread info pointer.
Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been
detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for
%cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly
turned zero after the firmware call.
So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes
became clear:
- On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this
problem.
- Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task
thread info pointer was below 4GB.
- Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because
the upper 32bit were zero anyay.
- Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread
info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary.
Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register
before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to igb, igbvf, i40e, ixgbe and ixgbevf.
Dan Carpenter provides a patch for igbvf to fix a bug found by a static
checker. If the new MTU is very large, then "new_mtu + ETH_HLEN +
ETH_FCS_LEN" can wrap and the check on the next line can underflow.
Wei Yongjun provides 2 patches, the first against igbvf adds a missing
iounmap() before the return from igbvf_probe(). The second against
i40e, removes the include <linux/version.h> because it is not needed.
Carolyn provides a patch for igb to fix a call to set the master/slave
mode for all m88 generation 2 PHY's and removes the call for I210
devices which do not need it.
Stefan Assmann provides a patch for igb to fix an issue which was broke
by:
commit fa44f2f185f7f9da19d331929bb1b56c1ccd1d93

igb: Enable SR-IOV configuration via PCI sysfs interface
which breaks the reloading of igb when VFs are assigned to a guest, in
several ways.
Jacob provides a patch for ixgbe and ixgbevf. First, against ixgbe,
cleans up ixgbe_enumerate_functions to reduce code complexity. The
second, against ixgbevf, adds support for ethtool's get_coalesce and
set_coalesce command for the ixgbevf driver.
Yijing Wang provides a patch for ixgbe to use pcie_capability_read_word()
to simplify the code.
Emil provides a ixgbe patch to fix an issue where the logic used to
detect changes in rx-usecs was incorrect and was masked by the call to
ixgbe_update_rsc().
Don provides 2 patches for ixgbevf. First creates a new function to set
PSRTYPE. The second bumps the ixgbevf driver version.
