This patch introduces a new timer, which will release
queued-up MPDUs from the reorder buffer, whenever
they've waited for more than HT_RX_REORDER_BUF_TIMEOUT
(which is at around 100 ms).
The advantage of having a dedicated timer, instead of
relying on a constant stream of freshly arriving aMPDUs
to release the old ones, is particularly observable when
even a small fraction of MPDUs are forever lost at
low network speeds.
Previously under these circumstances frames would become
stuck in the reorder buffer and the network stack of both
HT peers throttled back, instead of revving up and
gunning the pipes.

ath9k: shorten the calibration interval during strong interference
When the noise floor limits are being bypassed because of strong
interference, sensitivity is also reduced.
In order to recover from this as quickly as possible, trigger a
long periodic calibration every second instead of every 30 seconds,
until the NF median is within limits again. This is especially important
if the interference lasts for a while, since it takes multiple clean
NF calibrations to bring the median back to normal.

ath9k: use AP beacon miss as a trigger for fast recalibration
When beacons get stuck in AP mode, the most likely cause is interference.
Such interference can often go on for a while, and too many consecutive
beacon misses can lead to connected clients getting dropped.
Since connected clients might not be subjected to the same interference
if that happens to be very local, the AP should try to deal with it as
good as it can. One way to do this is to trigger an NF calibration with
automatic baseband update right after the beacon miss. In my tests with
very strong interference, this allowed the AP to continue transmitting
beacons after only 2-3 misses, which allows a normal client to stay
connected.
With some of the newer - really sensitive - chips, the maximum noise
floor limit is very low, which can be problematic during very strong
interference. To avoid an endless loop of stuck beacons -> nfcal ->
periodic calibration -> stuck beacons, the beacon miss event also sets
a flag, which allows the calibration code to bypass the chip specific
maximum NF value. This flag is automatically cleared, as soon as the
first NF median goes back below the limits for all chains.
In my tests, this allowed an ath9k AP to survive very strong interference
(measured NF: -68, or sometimes even higher) without losing connectivity
to its clients. Even under these conditions, I was able to transmit
several mbits/s through the interface.

ath5k: disable ASPM L0s for all cards
Atheros PCIe wireless cards handled by ath5k do require L0s disabled.
For distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM (this will be enabled
by default in the future in 2.6.36) this will also mean both L1 and L0s
will be disabled when a pre 1.1 PCIe device is detected. We do know L1
works correctly even for all ath5k pre 1.1 PCIe devices though but cannot
currently undue the effect of a blacklist, for details you can read
pcie_aspm_sanity_check() and see how it adjusts the device link
capability.
It may be possible in the future to implement some PCI API to allow
drivers to override blacklists for pre 1.1 PCIe but for now it is
best to accept that both L0s and L1 will be disabled completely for
distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM rather than having this
issue present. Motivation for adding this new API will be to help
with power consumption for some of these devices.
Example of issues you'd see:
- On the Acer Aspire One (AOA150, Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001
Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)) doesn't work well
with ASPM enabled, the card will eventually stall on heavy traffic
with often 'unsupported jumbo' warnings appearing. Disabling
ASPM L0s in ath5k fixes these problems.
- On the same card you would see a storm of RXORN interrupts

of two DH5 packets, minus ACL and L2CAP b-frame header overhead.
ERTM is used with newer basebands that typically support larger 3-DH5
packets, and i-frames and s-frames have more header overhead. With
clean RF conditions, basebands will typically attempt to use 1021-byte
3-DH5 packets for maximum throughput. Adjusting for 2 bytes of ACL
headers plus 10 bytes of worst-case L2CAP headers yields 1009 bytes
of payload.
This PDU size imposes less overhead for header bytes and gives the
baseband the option to choose 3-DH5 packets, but is small enough for
ERTM traffic to interleave well with other L2CAP or SCO data.
672-byte payloads do not allow the most efficient over-the-air
packet choice, and cannot achieve maximum throughput over BR/EDR.

iwlagn: fix rts cts protection
Currently the driver will try to protect all frames,
which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an
RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which
is clearly bogus.
In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step
back and see what we need to achieve:
* we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by
the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this
* in that case, CTS-to-self should only be
enabled when mac80211 tells us
* additionally, as a hardware workaround, on
some devices we have to protect aggregated
frames with RTS
To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON
accordingly and set the protection required flag
in the transmit command when mac80211 requests
protection for the frame.
To achieve the last item, set the rate-control
RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have
aggregation sessions with, and set the protection
required flag when sending aggregated frames (on
those devices where this is required).
Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the
user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting
from sysfs any more.
Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get
set in the driver and move everything into the

Based on patches from Sonny Rao and Milton Miller...
Combined the patches to fix up clean_tx_irq and clean_rx_irq.
The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes
to be ordered without adding an explicit barrier.
In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data.
With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a
stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it.
The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header
and data are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order
we may have data that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use
hardware checksumming this bad data is never verified and it makes it
all the way to the application.
This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has
been shown to fix it. The bug can manifest as a data integrity issue
(bad payload data) or as a BUG in skb_pull().
This was a nasty bug to hunt down, if people agree with the fix I think
it's a candidate for stable.

libertas: scan before assocation if no BSSID was given
Fix this leftover TODO from the cfg80211 conversion by doing a scan
if cfg80211 didn't pass in the BSSID for us. Since the scan code
uses so much of the cfg80211_scan_request structure to build up the
firmware command, we just fake one when the scan request is triggered
internally. But we need to make sure that internal 'fake' cfg82011
scan request does not get back to cfg82011 via cfg80211_scan_done().

libertas: fix association with some APs by using extended rates
Some APs get pissy if you don't send the firmware the extended rates
in the association request's rates TLV. Found this on a Linksys
WRT54G v2; it denies association with status code 18 unless you
add the extended rates too. The old driver did this, but it got
lost in the cfg80211 conversion.

virtio_net: implements ethtool_ops.get_drvinfo
I often use "ethtool -i" command to check what driver controls the
ehternet device. But because current virtio_net driver doesn't
support "ethtool -i", it becomes the following:
# ethtool -i eth3
Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported
This patch simply adds the "ethtool -i" support. The following is the
result when using the virtio_net driver with my patch applied to.
Personally, "-i" is one of the most frequently-used option, and most
network drivers support "ethtool -i", so I think virtio_net also
should do.

RxRPC: Fix a potential deadlock between the call resend_timer and state_lock
RxRPC can potentially deadlock as rxrpc_resend_time_expired() wants to get
call->state_lock so that it can alter the state of an RxRPC call. However, its
caller (call_timer_fn()) has an apparent lock on the timer struct.
The problem is that rxrpc_resend_time_expired() isn't permitted to lock
call->state_lock as this could cause a deadlock against rxrpc_send_abort() as
that takes state_lock and then attempts to delete the resend timer by calling
del_timer_sync().
The deadlock can occur because del_timer_sync() will sit there forever waiting
for rxrpc_resend_time_expired() to return, but the latter may then wait for
call->state_lock, which rxrpc_send_abort() holds around del_timer_sync()...
This leads to a warning appearing in the kernel log that looks something like
the attached.
It should be sufficient to simply dispense with the locks. It doesn't matter
if we set the resend timer expired event bit and queue the event processor
whilst we're changing state to one where the resend timer is irrelevant as the
event can just be ignored by the processor thereafter.
