snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%
SNMP mibs use two percpu arrays, one used in BH context, another in USER
context. With increasing number of cpus in machines, and fact that ipv6
uses per network device ipstats_mib, this is consuming a lot of memory
if many network devices are registered.
commit be281e554e2a (ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes) shrinked
percpu needs for ipv6, but we can reduce memory use a bit more.
With recent percpu infrastructure (irqsafe_cpu_inc() ...), we no longer
need this BH/USER separation since we can update counters in a single
x86 instruction, regardless of the BH/USER context.
Other arches than x86 might need to disable irq in their
irqsafe_cpu_inc() implementation : If this happens to be a problem, we
can make SNMP_ARRAY_SZ arch dependent, but a previous poll
( https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/17/174 ) to arch maintainers did not
raise strong opposition.
Only on 32bit arches, we need to disable BH for 64bit counters updates
done from USER context (currently used for IP MIB)

The Host Wakeup Active bit in the PHY Port General Configuration register

unexpected wake signal from the PHY. Originally, this was accomplished by
simply reading the PHY Wakeup Control register on page 800 which clears the
Host Wakeup Active bit as a side-effect. Unfortunately, a hardware bug on
the 82577 and 82578 PHY can cause unexpected behavior when registers on

e1000e: access multiple PHY registers on same page at the same time
Doing a PHY page select can take a long time, relatively speaking. This
can cause a significant delay when updating a number of PHY registers on
the same page by unnecessarily setting the page for each PHY access. For
example when going to Sx, all the PHY wakeup registers (WUC, RAR[], MTA[],
SHRAR[], IP4AT[], IP6AT[], etc.) on 82577/8/9 need to be updated which
takes a long time which can cause issues when suspending.
This patch introduces new PHY ops function pointers to allow callers to
set the page directly and do any number of PHY accesses on that page.
This feature is currently only implemented for 82577, 82578 and 82579
PHYs for both the normally addressed registers as well as the special-
case addressing of the PHY wakeup registers on page 800. For the latter
registers, the existing function for accessing the wakeup registers has
been divided up into three- 1) enable access to the wakeup register page,
2) perform the register access and 3) disable access to the wakeup register
page. The two functions that enable/disable access to the wakeup register
page are necessarily available to the caller so that the caller can restore
the value of the Port Control (a.k.a. Wakeup Enable) register after the
wakeup register accesses are done.
All instances of writing to multiple PHY registers on the same page are
updated to use this new method and to acquire any PHY locking mechanism
before setting the page and performing the register accesses, and release
the locking mechanism afterward.
Some affiliated magic number cleanup is done as well.

traversal.
This removes a lot of code, makes locking more standard, and obsoletes
two sysctls (inet_peer_gc_mintime and inet_peer_gc_maxtime). This also
removes two pointers in inet_peer structure.
There is still a false sharing effect because refcnt is in first cache
line of object [were the links and keys used by lookups are located], we
might move it at the end of inet_peer structure to let this first cache
line mostly read by cpus.

tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open side
This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per
RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet
has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on.
It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive
open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if
valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase.
The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the
beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if
there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.

v2 ethtool: remove support for ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE
This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as
strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the
fact that multiple issues have been found including:
- Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed.
- Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed
- Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined.
- Endianess wrong on displayed values.
- Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited
The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no
longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am
submitting this patch to remove it.
v2:
Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings
- Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated
- Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container
- Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated
Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to
maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just
return ops->set_rx_ntuple(). Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Acked-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

mwifiex: disable transmission buffer aggregation for AMSDU packets
Padding per MSDU will affect the length of next packet and hence
the exact length of next packet is uncertain here.
Also, aggregation of transmission buffer, while downloading the

mac80211: Stop BA session event from device
Some devices support BT/WLAN co-existence algorigthms.
In order not to harm the system performance and user experience, the device
requests not to allow any RX BA session and tear down existing RX BA sessions
based on system constraints such as periodic BT activity that needs to limit
WLAN activity (eg.SCO or A2DP).
In such cases, the intention is to limit the duration of the RX PPDU and
therefore prevent the peer device to use A-MPDU aggregation.
Adding ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() callback
that can be used by the driver to stop existing BA sessions.

If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send

iwlagn: use cts-to-self protection on 5000 adapters series
This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out
