usbnet: introduce usbnet_link_change API
This patch introduces the API of usbnet_link_change, so that
usbnet can handle link change centrally, which may help to
implement killing traffic URBs for saving USB bus bandwidth

And for the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:
"Andrei changed an instance of kmalloc+memdup to kmemdup, Stanislaw
removed the now unused 5ghz_disable module parameter. I also have a
number of fixes from Ilan, Emmanuel and myself, Emmanuel also continued
working on Bluetooth coexistence."
For the sizeable batch of Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"This is our first batch of patches for 3.10. The biggest changes of this pull
request are from Johan Hedberg, he implemented a HCI request framework to make
life easier when we have to send many HCI commands and a block and wait for
all of the to finish, we were able to fix a few issues in stack with the
introduction of this framework.
Other than that Dean Jenkins did a good work cleaning the RFCOMM code, the
refcnt infrastructure was removed and now we use NULL pointer checks to know
when a object was freed or not. That code was buggy and now it looks a way
better.
The rest of changes are clean ups, fixes and small improvements all over the
Bluetooth subsystem."
Regarding the wl12xx bits, Luca says:
"Some patches intended for 3.10. Mostly bug fixes and other small
improvements."
On top of that, there are updates to brcmfmac, brcmsmac, b43, ssb and
bcma, as well as mwifiex, rt2x00, and ath9k and a few others. The most
notable bit is the addition of a new driver in the rtlwifi family.

====================
This patch and the following two patches add support for link flap avoidance
by maintaining the link on power down. This feature is required for
management capable devices to have the management connection
uninterrupted on driver reload, reboot and interface up/down.
The other pros of this feature are
- It speeds up boot up time by several seconds as DHCP addresses can be
acquired faster.
- It avoids lengthy Spanning Tree delay.
On powerup the hardware brings up the phy with default settings. If the
link is not up, the management software configures the phy to gigabit
and starts autonegotiate. Subsequently, as long as the link is up, the
driver and management refrain from resetting and/or changing any
configuration that the link depends on.
The LNK_FLAP_AVOID setting is an NVRAM user configurable bit and is
disabled by default. If this setting is enabled, we skip powering down
the phy and resetting it.
A second NVRAM setting is 1G_ON_VAUX_OK (off by default). This adds

Normally on driver load, we set the default settings for speed and flow

pull the current advertised settings into the config.
A second scenario is if a user changes the speed/duplex/fc settings when
the interface is down. In this case we must not pull the settings from
the phy and overwrite user settings. We avoid that by checking the
USER_CONFIGURED flag.

net: ipv6: add tokenized interface identifier support
This patch adds support for IPv6 tokenized IIDs, that allow
for administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses
to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix from
Router Advertisements. It is currently in draft status.
The primary target for such support is server platforms
where addresses are usually manually configured, rather
than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenised identifiers,
hosts can still determine their network prefix by use of
SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should
their network prefix change. [...]
The disadvantage with static addresses is that they are
likely to require manual editing should the network prefix
in use change. If instead there were a method to only
manually configure the static identifier part of the IPv6
address, then the address could be automatically updated
when a new prefix was introduced, as described in [RFC4192]
for example. In such cases a DNS server might be
configured with such a tokenised interface identifier of
::53, and SLAAC would use the token in constructing the
interface address, using the advertised prefix. [...]
The implementation is partially based on top of Mark K.
Thompson's proof of concept. However, it uses the Netlink
interface for configuration resp. data retrival, so that
it can be easily extended in future. Successfully tested
by myself.

mwifiex: hold proper locks when accessing ra_list / bss_prio lists
Not locking ra_list when dequeuing packets creates race conditions.
When adding a packet 'tx_pkts_queued' is modified before setting
highest_priority_queue. If in-between the main loop starts, it will
see a packet queued (tx_pkts_queued > 0) but will not find it, since
max prio is not set yet. Depending on the scheduling, the thread
trying to add the packet could complete and restore the situation.
But this is not something to rely on.
Another race condition exists, if a new packet, exceeding current
max prio is added. If concurrently a packet is dequeued, the newly
set max prio will be overwritten with the value of the dequeued
packet. This can occur, because selecting a packet and modifying
the max prio is not atomic. The result in an infinite loop unless,
a new packet is added that has at least the priority of the hidden
packet.
Same applies to bss_prio_tbl. Forward iteration is no proper
lock-free technique and provides no protection from calls to
list_del. Although BSS are currently not added/removed dynamically,
this must not be the case in the future. Hence always hold proper
locks when accessing those lists.

mwifiex: fix infinite loop by removing NO_PKT_PRIO_TID
Using NO_PKT_PRIO_TID and tx_pkts_queued to check for an empty
state, can lead to a contradictory state, resulting in an
infinite loop. Currently queueing and dequeuing of packets is
not synchronized, and can happen concurrently. While tx_pkts_queued
is incremented when adding a packet, max prio is set to NO_PKT when
the WMM list is empty. If a packet is added right after the check
for empty, but before setting max prio to NO_PKT, that packet is
trapped and creates an infinite loop.
Because of the new packet, tx_pkts_queued is at least 1, indicating
wmm lists are not empty. Opposing that max prio is NO_PKT, which
means "skip this wmm queue, it has no packets". The infinite loop
results, because the main loop checks the wmm lists for not empty
via tx_pkts_queued, but for dequeing it uses max_prio to see if it
can skip current list. This will never end, unless a new packet is
added which will restore max prio to the level of the trapped packet.
The solution here is to rely on tx_pkts_queued solely for checking
wmm queue to be empty, and drop the NO_PKT define. It does not
address the locking issue.

* mark AR9280 and AR9580 as DFS tested
* synchronize DFS regulatory domain to reg notifyer
* set required RX filter flags for radar detection
* process radar PHY errors at DFS detector
* notify DFS master on radar detection

cmd_pending is increased in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() and
decreased in mwifiex_complete_cmd() currently.
If there are two or more commands in the cmd_pending_q the main
worker thread will pick up next command from cmd_pending_q
automatically after finishing current command. As a result
mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() will not be called because
the command is alreay completed. This leads to a negative
number in cmd_pending count.
Fix it by increasing cmd_pending when a cmd is queued into
cmd_pending_q and decreasing when that cmd is recycled. For scan
commands we don't perform inc/dec operations until it's moved
from scan_pending_q to cmd_pending_q. This covers both
synchronous and asynchronous commands.

ieee802154/nl-mac.c: make some MLME operations optional
Check for NULL before calling the following operations from "struct
ieee802154_mlme_ops": assoc_req, assoc_resp, disassoc_req, start_req,
and scan_req.
This fixes a current oops where those functions are called but not
implemented. It also updates the documentation to clarify that they
are now optional by design. If a call to an unimplemented function
is attempted, the kernel returns EOPNOTSUPP via netlink.
The following operations are still required: get_phy, get_pan_id,
get_short_addr, and get_dsn.
Note that the places where this patch changes the initialization
of "ret" should not affect the rest of the code since "ret" was
always set (again) before returning its value.

us to test both the uid and the user namespace for equality.
Passing struct cred potentially allows us to pass the entire group

mac802154: Increase tx_buffer_len
Increase the buffer length from 10 to 300 packets. Consider that traffic on
mac802154 devices will often be 6LoWPAN, and a full-length (1280 octet)
IPv6 packet will fragment into 15 6LoWPAN fragments (because the MTU of
IEEE 802.15.4 is 127). A 300-packet queue is really 20 full-length IPv6

With a queue length of 10, an entire IPv6 packet was unable to get queued
at one time, causing fragments to be dropped, and making reassembly
impossible.
