If gcc (e.g. 4.1.2) decides not to inline vsock_init_tables(), this will
cause a section mismatch:
WARNING: net/vmw_vsock/vsock.o(.text+0x1bc): Section mismatch in reference from the function __vsock_core_init() to the function .init.text:vsock_init_tables()
The function __vsock_core_init() references
the function __init vsock_init_tables().
This is often because __vsock_core_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of vsock_init_tables is wrong.
This may cause crashes if VSOCKETS=y and VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS=m.

When we call vsock_core_init to init VSOCK the second time,
vsock_device.minor still points to the old dynamically allocated minor
number. misc_register will allocate it for us successfully as if we were
asking for a static one. However, when other user call misc_register to
allocate a dynamic minor number, it will give the one used by
vsock_core_init(), causing this:
[ 405.470687] WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:536 sysfs_add_one+0xcc/0xf0()
[ 405.470689] Hardware name: OptiPlex 790
[ 405.470690] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/dev/char/10:54'
Always set vsock_device.minor to MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR before we
register.

Commit 6681712d67eef14c4ce793561c3231659153a320
vxlan: generalize forwarding tables
relaxed the address checks in rtnl_fdb_del() to use is_zero_ether_addr().
This allows users to add multicast addresses using the fdb API. However,
the check in rtnl_fdb_del() still uses a more strict
is_valid_ether_addr() which rejects multicast addresses. Thus it
is possible to add an fdb that can not be later removed.
Relax the check in rtnl_fdb_del() as well.

The sockaddr_nfc_llcp struct has as hole between ->sa_family and
->dev_idx so I've added a memset() to clear it and prevent an
information leak.
Also the ->nfc_protocol element wasn't set so I've added that.
"uaddr->sa_family" and "llcp_addr->sa_family" are the same thing but
it's less confusing to use llcp_addr consistently throughout.

OVS locking was recently changed to have private OVS lock which
simplified overall locking. Therefore there is no need to have
another global genl lock to protect OVS data structures. Following
patch uses of parallel_ops genl family for OVS. This also allows
more granual OVS locking using ovs_mutex for protecting OVS data
structures, which gives more concurrencey. E.g multiple genl
operations OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE can run in parallel, etc.

All genl callbacks are serialized by genl-mutex. This can become
bottleneck in multi threaded case.
Following patch adds an parameter to genl_family so that a
particular family can get concurrent netlink callback without
genl_lock held.
New rw-sem is used to protect genl callback from genl family unregister.
in case of parallel_ops genl-family read-lock is taken for callbacks and
write lock is taken for register or unregistration for any family.
In case of locked genl family semaphore and gel-mutex is locked for
any openration.

Currently, packet_sock has a struct tpacket_stats stats member for
TPACKET_V1 and TPACKET_V2 statistic accounting, and with TPACKET_V3
``union tpacket_stats_u stats_u'' was introduced, where however only
statistics for TPACKET_V3 are held, and when copied to user space,
TPACKET_V3 does some hackery and access also tpacket_stats' stats,
although everything could have been done within the union itself.
Unify accounting within the tpacket_stats_u union so that we can
remove 8 bytes from packet_sock that are there unnecessary. Note that
even if we switch to TPACKET_V3 and would use non mmap(2)ed option,
this still works due to the union with same types + offsets, that are
exposed to the user space.

There's a 4 byte hole in packet_ring_buffer structure before
prb_bdqc, that can be filled with 'pending' member, thus we can
reduce the overall structure size from 224 bytes to 216 bytes.
This also has the side-effect, that in struct packet_sock 2*4 byte
holes after the embedded packet_ring_buffer members are removed,
and overall, packet_sock can be reduced by 1 cacheline:
Before: size: 1344, cachelines: 21, members: 24
After: size: 1280, cachelines: 20, members: 24

Currently, there is no way to find out which timestamp is reported in
tpacket{,2,3}_hdr's tp_sec, tp_{n,u}sec members. It can be one of
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE, SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE,
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE, or a fallback variant late call from the
PF_PACKET code in software.
Therefore, report in the tp_status member of the ring buffer which
timestamp has been reported for RX and TX path. This should not break
anything for the following reasons: i) in RX ring path, the user needs
to test for tp_status & TP_STATUS_USER, and later for other flags as
well such as TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID et al, so adding other flags will
do no harm; ii) in TX ring path, time stamps with PACKET_TIMESTAMP
socketoption are not available resp. had no effect except that the
application setting this is buggy. Next to TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE, the
user also should check for other flags such as TP_STATUS_WRONG_FORMAT
to reclaim frames to the application. Thus, in case TX ts are turned
off (default case), nothing happens to the application logic, and in
case we want to use this new feature, we now can also check which of
the ts source is reported in the status field as provided in the docs.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next
John W. Linville says:
====================
Here is one last(?) big wireless bits pull request before the merge window...
Regarding the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"Here's another big pull request for the -next stream. This one has a ton
of driver updates, which hopefully addresses all drivers, but maybe you
have more new drivers than I have in my tree? Not entirely sure, let me
know if this is the case and then I can merge wireless-next.
I'm including a large number of small changes, see the shortlog. The two
bigger things are making VHT compatible with not using channel contexts
(from Karl) and the stop-while-suspended fixes I developed together with
Stanislaw."
...and...
"This time I have a relatively large number of fixes and small
improvements, the most important one being Bob's RCU fix. The two big
things are Felix's work on rate scaling tables (with a big thanks to
Karl too) and my own work on CSA handling to finally properly handle HT
(and some VHT.)"
As for the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:
"The biggest work here is Bluetooth coexistence and power saving. Other
than that, I have a few small fixes that weren't really needed for 3.9
and a new PCI ID."
About the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"With this one we have:
- A major pn533 update. The pn533 framing support has been changed in order to
easily support all pn533 derivatives. For example we now support the ACR122
USB dongle.
- An NFC MEI physical layer code factorization through the mei_phy NFC API.
Both the microread and the pn544 drivers now use it.
- LLCP aggregation support. This allows NFC p2p devices to send aggregated
frames containing all sort of LLCP frames except SYMM and aggregation
frames.
- More LLCP socket options for getting the remote device link parameters.
- Fixes for the LLCP socket option code added with the first pull request for
3.10.
- Some support for LLCP corner cases like 0 length SDUs and general DISC
(tagged with a 0,0 dsap ssap couple) handling.
- RFKILL support for NFC."
For the b43 bits, Rafał says:
"Let me remind the changes for b43:
> Changes include:
> 1) Minor improvements for HT-PHY code (BCM4331)
> 2) Code cleaning for HT-PHY and N-PHY"
Concerning the bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"A set of changes intended for 3.10. The biggest changes here are from David
Herrmann, he rewrote most of the HIDP layer making it more reliable. Marcel
added a driver setup stage for device that need special handling on their
early initialization. Other than that we have the usual clean ups, bugfixes
and small improvements."
Along with all that, there is the usual collection of random/various
updates to ath9k, mwifiex, brcmfmac, brcmsmac, rt2x00, and wil6210.
I also included a pull of the wireless tree to resolve a merge conflict.
Please let me know if there are problems!

The Bluetooth Core Specification (4.0) defines the Write LE Host
Supported HCI command as only available for controllers supporting
BR/EDR. This is further reflected in the Read Local Extended Features
HCI command also not being available for LE-only controllers. In other
words, host-side LE support is implicit for single-mode LE controllers
and doesn't have explicit HCI-level enablement.
This patch ensures that the LE setting is always exposed as enabled
through mgmt and returns a "rejected" response if user space tries to
toggle the setting. The patch also ensures that Write LE Host Supported
is never sent for LE-only controllers.

struct ip_vs_sync_mesg and ip_vs_sync_mesg_v0 are both sent across the wire
and used internally to store IPVS synchronisation messages.
Up until now the scheme used has been to convert the size field
to network byte order before sending a message on the wire and
convert it to host byte order when sending a message.
This patch changes that scheme to always treat the field
as being network byte order. This seems appropriate as
the structure is sent across the wire. And by consistently
treating the field has network byte order it is now possible
to take advantage of sparse to flag any future miss-use.

Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211
and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate
selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows
rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a
step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi.
When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not
fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve
explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then
explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from
info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table.

Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete
successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space
API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol
is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives
NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP.
There can be only on critical protocol session started per
registered cfg80211 device.
The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks
.crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols
that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the
link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver. Things
to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and
alter coexistence schemes.
