Since no driver calls the TKIP functions from interrupt
context, there's no need to use spin_lock_irqsave().
Just use spin_lock_bh() (and spin_lock() in the TX path
where we're in a BH or they're already disabled.)

There's no need to use _irqsave() as the lock
is never used in interrupt context.
This also fixes a problem in the iwlwifi MVM
driver that calls spin_unlock_bh() within its
set_tim() callback.

In some cases when disconnecting after (or during?) CSA
the queues might not recover, and then the only way to
recover is reloading the module.
Fix this by always unblocking the queue CSA reason when
disconnecting.

Since the idle decision rework, mac80211 started calling
bss_info_changed() for the driver's monitor interface,
which causes a crash for iwlwifi, but drivers generally
don't expect this to happen. Therefore, avoid it.
While at it, also prevent calling it in such cases and
only print a warning. For the P2P Device interface the
idle will no longer be called (no channel context), so
also prevent that and warn on it.

In my commit 1672c0e31917f49d31d30d79067103432bc20cc7
("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status")
I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait
for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set
to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being
before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs
for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as
having timed out.
Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started"
variable that tracks whether the timeout has started
and is checked before timing out.
Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change
requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all
the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211.

When sending a broadcast while at least on of the connected stations is
sleeping, it gets queued and send after a DTIM beacon is sent.
If the packet was to be sent on a vlan interface, the vif used for dequeing
from the per-bss queue does not hold the per-vlan sdata. The correct sdata is
required to use the correct per-vlan broadcast/multicast key.
This patch fixes this by restoring the per-vlan sdata using the skb->dev entry.

When we are converting local data to an extent format as a result of
adding an attribute, the type of data contained in the local fork
determines the behaviour that needs to occur.
xfs_bmap_add_attrfork_local() already handles the directory data
case specially by using S_ISDIR() and calling out to
xfs_dir2_sf_to_block(), but with verifiers we now need to handle
each different type of metadata specially and different metadata
formats require different verifiers (and eventually block header
initialisation).
There is only a single place that we add and attribute fork to
the inode, but that is in the attribute code and it knows nothing
about the specific contents of the data fork. It is only the case of
local data that is the issue here, so adding code to hadnle this
case in the attribute specific code is wrong. Hence we are really
stuck trying to detect the data fork contents in
xfs_bmap_add_attrfork_local() and performing the correct callout
there.
Luckily the current cases can be determined by S_IS* macros, and we
can push the work off to data specific callouts, but each of those
callouts does a lot of work in common with
xfs_bmap_local_to_extents(). The only reason that this fails for
symlinks right now is is that xfs_bmap_local_to_extents() assumes
the data fork contains extent data, and so attaches a a bmap extent
data verifier to the buffer and simply copies the data fork
information straight into it.
To fix this, allow us to pass a "formatting" callback into
xfs_bmap_local_to_extents() which is responsible for setting the
buffer type, initialising it and copying the data fork contents over
to the new buffer. This allows callers to specify how they want to
format the new buffer (which is necessary for the upcoming CRC
enabled metadata blocks) and hence make xfs_bmap_local_to_extents()
useful for any type of data fork content.

The trylock log force invoked via xfs_buf_item_push() can attempt
to acquire xa_lock, thus leading to a recursion bug when called
with xa_lock held.
This log force was originally added to xfs_buf_trylock() to address
xfsaild stalls due to pinned and stale buffers. Since the addition
of this behavior, the log item pushing code had been reworked to
detect and track pinned items to inform xfsaild to issue a log
force itself when necessary. As such, the log force on trylock
failure is redundant and safe to remove.

The buffer pinned check and trylock sequence in xfs_buf_item_push()
can race with an active transaction on marking the buffer pinned.
This can result in the buffer becoming pinned and stale after the
initial check and the trylock failure, but before the check in
xfs_buf_trylock() that issues a log force. If the log force is
issued from this context, a spinlock recursion occurs on xa_lock.
Prepare xfs_buf_item_push() to handle the race by detecting a
pinned buffer after the trylock failure so xfsaild issues a log
force from a safe context. This, along with various previous fixes,
renders the log force in xfs_buf_trylock() redundant.

Speculative preallocation based on the current file size works well
for contiguous files, but is sub-optimal for sparse files where the
EOF preallocation can fill holes and result in large amounts of
zeros being written when it is not necessary.
The algorithm is modified to prevent EOF speculative preallocation
from triggering larger allocations on IO patterns of
truncate--to-zero-seek-write-seek-write-.... which results in
non-sparse files for large files. This, unfortunately, is the way cp
now behaves when copying sparse files and so needs to be fixed.
What this code does is that it looks at the existing extent adjacent
to the current EOF and if it determines that it is a hole we disable
speculative preallocation altogether. To avoid the next write from
doing a large prealloc, it takes the size of subsequent
preallocations from the current size of the existing EOF extent.
IOWs, if you leave a hole in the file, it resets preallocation
behaviour to the same as if it was a zero size file.
Example new behaviour:
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 31m" \
-c "pwrite 33m 1m" \
-c "pwrite 128m 1m" \
-c "fiemap -v" /mnt/scratch/blah

commit 9ec1882df2 (tty: serial: imx: console write routing is unsafe
on SMP) introduced a recursive locking bug in imx_console_write().
The callchain is:
imx_rxint()
spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags);
...
uart_handle_sysrq_char();
sysrq_function();
printk();
imx_console_write();
spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags); <--- DEAD
The bad news is that the kernel debugging facilities can dectect the
problem, but the printks never surface on the serial console for
obvious reasons.
There is a similar issue with oops_in_progress. If the kernel crashes
we really don't want to be stuck on the lock and unable to tell what
happened.
In general most UP originated drivers miss these checks and nobody
ever notices because CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING seems to be still ignored by
a large number of developers.
The solution is to avoid locking in the sysrq case and trylock in the
oops_in_progress case.
This scheme is used in other drivers as well and it would be nice if
we could move this to a common place, so the usual copy/paste/modify
bugs can be avoided.
Now there is another issue with this scheme:
CPU0 CPU1
printk()
rxint()
sysrq_detection() -> sets port->sysrq
return from interrupt
console_write()
if (port->sysrq)
avoid locking
port->sysrq is reset with the next receive character. So as long as
the port->sysrq is not reset and this can take an endless amount of
time if after the break no futher receive character follows, all
console writes happen unlocked.
While the current writer is protected against other console writers by
the console sem, it's unprotected against open/close or other
operations which fiddle with the port. That's what the above mentioned
commit tried to solve.
That's an issue in all drivers which use that scheme and unfortunately
there is no easy workaround. The only solution is to have a separate
indicator port->sysrq_cpu. uart_handle_sysrq_char() then sets it to
smp_processor_id() before calling into handle_sysrq() and resets it to
-1 after that. Then change the locking check to:
if (port->sysrq_cpu == smp_processor_id())
locked = 0;
else if (oops_in_progress)
locked = spin_trylock_irqsave(port->lock, flags);
else
spin_lock_irqsave(port->lock, flags);
That would force all other cpus into the spin_lock path. Problem
solved, but that's way beyond the scope of this fix and really wants
to be implemented in a common function which calls the uart specific
write function to avoid another gazillion of hard to debug
copy/paste/modify bugs.

This fixes a less obvious error on one hand, and prevents futher
similar errors by disambiguating and optimizing RxFCB indication,
on the other hand.
The error consists in NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX flag being used as an
indication of Rx FCB insertion. This happened as soon gfar_uses_fcb(),
which despite its name indicates Rx FCB insertion, started
incorporating is_vlan_on().
is_vlan_on(), on the other hand, is also a misleading construct because
we need to differentiate b/w hw VLAN extraction/VLEX (marked by VLAN_RX
flag) and hw VLAN insertion/VLINS (VLAN_TX flag), which are different
mechanisms using different types of FCBs.
The hw spec for the RxFCB feature is as follows:
In the case of RxBD rings, FCBs (Frame Control Block) are inserted by
the eTSEC whenever RCTRL[PRSDEP] is set to a non-zero value. Only one
FCB is inserted per frame (in the buffer pointed to by the RxBD with
bit F set). TOE acceleration for receive is enabled for all rx frames
in this case.
This patch introduces priv->uses_rxfcb field to quickly signal RxFCB
insertion in accordance with the specification above.
The dependency on FSL_GIANFAR_DEV_HAS_TIMER was also eliminated as
another source of confusion. The actual dependency is to priv->hwts_rx_en.
Upon changing priv->hwts_rx_en via IOCTL, the gfar device is being
restarted and on init_mac() the priv->hwts_rx_en flag determines RxFCB
insertion, and rctrl is programmed accordingly. The patch takes care
of this case too.
Though maybe not as self documenting as the inlining version uses_fcb(),
priv->uses_rxfcb has the main purpose to quickly signal, on the hot path,
that the incoming frame has a *Rx* FCB block inserted which needs to be
pulled out before passing the skb to the stack. This is a performance
critical operation, it needs to happen fast, that's why uses_rxfcb is
placed in the first cacheline of gfar_private.
This is also why a cached rctrl cannot be used instead: 1) because
we don't have 32 bits available in the first cacheline of gfar_priv
(but only 16); 2) bit operations are expensive on the hot path.

The controller's ref manual states clearly that when the hw Rx vlan
offload feature is enabled, meaning that the VLEX bit from RCTRL is
correctly enabled, then the hw performs automatic VLAN tag extraction
and deletion from the ethernet frames. So there's no point in trying to
increase the rx buff size when rxvlan is on, as the frame is actually
smaller.
And the Tx vlan hw accel feature (VLINS) has nothing to do with rx buff
size computation.

The change is significant since it affects the rx hot path.
Paul observed and documented the effects at asm level, see
below:
"It turns out that it does make a difference, since gfar_process_frame
gets inlined, and so the increment code gets moved out of line (I have
marked the if statment with * and the increment code within "-----"):

Group run-time critical fields within the 1st cacheline (32B)
followed by the tx|rx_queue reference arrays and the interrupt
group instances (gfargrp), all cacheline aligned.
This has several benefits. Firstly comes the performance benefit
by having the members required by the driver's hot path re-grouped
in the structure's first cache lines, whereas the unimportant
members were pushed towards the end of the struct.
Another benefit comes from eliminating a 24 byte memory hole that
was rendering gfar_priv's 2nd cacheline useless. The default gcc
layout of gfar_private leaves an implicit 24 byte hole after the
errata (enum) member. This patch fixes it.
The uchar bitfields were pushed towards the end of the struct
as these are not run-time performance critical (used for init
time operations). Because there is no other 2 byte member
around to couple the uchar bitfields memeber with, we will
have an addititnal 2 byte hole after the bitfields. This is
unsignificant however, and it doesn't influence gfar_priv's
size, because the whole structure is padded to be a 32B multiple.

Use device pointer (dev) to simplify the code and to
avoid double indirections, especially on the hot path.
Basically, instead of accessing priv to get the ofdev
reference and then accessing the ofdev structure to
dereference the needed dev pointer, we will get the
dev pointer directly from priv.
The dev pointer is required on the hot path, see gfar_new_rxbdp
or gfar_clean_rx_ring (or xmit), and this patch makes
it available directly from priv's 1st cacheline.
This change is reflected at asm level too, taking (the hot)
gfar_new_rxbdp():

Steffen Klassert says:
====================
1) Remove a duplicated call to skb_orphan() in pf_key, from Cong Wang.
2) Prepare xfrm and pf_key for algorithms without pf_key support,
from Jussi Kivilinna.
3) Fix an unbalanced lock in xfrm_output_one(), from Li RongQing.
4) Add an IPsec state resolution packet queue to handle
packets that are send before the states are resolved.
5) xfrm4_policy_fini() is unused since 2.6.11, time to remove it.
From Michal Kubecek.
6) The xfrm gc threshold was configurable just in the initial
namespace, make it configurable in all namespaces. From
Michal Kubecek.
7) We currently can not insert policies with mark and mask
such that some flows would be matched from both policies.
Allow this if the priorities of these policies are different,
the one with the higher priority is used in this case.
