net: introduce DST_NOCACHE flag
While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue
devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in
neighbour code.
When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high
performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the
neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on
hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test())
But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only
once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache
lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock.
Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not
inserted in route cache.
With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour,
results are :

um: Proper Fix for f25c80a4: remove duplicate structure field initialization
uml_net_set_mac() was broken and luckily it was never used, before.
What it was trying to do is spin_lock before memcopy the mac address.
Linus attempted to fix it in assumption that someone decided the
lock was needed. But since it was never ever used at all, and was
just dead code, I think we can assume that it is not needed, after
all.
On the other hand patch [f25c80a4] was trying to use eth_mac_addr()
in eth_configure(), *which was the real fallout*. Because of state
checks done inside eth_mac_addr() the address was never set. I have
not reintroduced the memcpy wrapper, but I've put a comment for future
cats.
The code now is back to exactly as it was before [f25c80a4]. With
the cleanup applied. If the spin_lock is indeed needed then a contender
should supply a test case that fails, then fix it with the proper
locking, as a separate unrelated patch.

ipv4: Allow configuring subnets as local addresses
This patch allows a host to be configured to respond to any address in
a specified range as if it were local, without actually needing to
configure the address on an interface. This is done through routing
table configuration. For instance, to configure a host to respond
to any address in 10.1/16 received on eth0 as a local address we can do:
ip rule add from all iif eth0 lookup 200
ip route add local 10.1/16 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 table 200
This host is now reachable by any 10.1/16 address (route lookup on
input for packets received on eth0 can find the route). On output, the
rule will not be matched so that this host can still send packets to
10.1/16 (not sent on loopback). Presumably, external routing can be
configured to make sense out of this.
To make this work, we needed to modify the logic in finding the
interface which is assigned a given source address for output
(dev_ip_find). We perform a normal fib_lookup instead of just a
lookup on the local table, and in the lookup we ignore the input
interface for matching.

The WMM parameter configuration function (ieee80211_sta_wmm_params) only
configures the WMM parameters to the driver is the wmm_last_param_set
counter value is changed by the AP.
The wmm_last_param_set is initialized to -1 on association in order to ensure
the configuration is made to the driver at least once on association, but
currently this initialization is done *after* the WMM parameter configuration
function was called.
This leads to unreliability in the driver getting properly configured on first
association (depending on what counter value the AP happens to use.) When
disassociating (the wmm default parameters are configured to the driver) and
then reassociating, due to the above the WMM configuration is not set to the
driver at all.
On drivers without beacon filtering the problem is corrected by later beacons,
but on drivers with beacon filtering the WMM will remain permanently incorrectly
configured.
Fix this by moving the initialization of wmm_last_param_set to -1 before
ieee80211_sta_wmm_params is called on association.

ath5k: Check and fix ATIM window
This patch adds sanity-checks for the beacon timers and especially the ATIM
window to ath5k. It is basically the same what i did for madwifi two years ago
and fixes a problem in IBSS mode which has been described as "ramping" pings.
See the code comments for a more detailed description and these links:
David Miller complained about the driver's excessive use
of variables in __packed structs. While I did not fully
agree with his sole "performance" argument on all accounts.
I do see some room for improvement in hot-paths on
architectures without an efficient access to unaligned
elements.
This first patch (dare I say?) optimizes an important tx
hot-path in the driver: carl9170_tx_prepare.

This patch removes some cruft, which survived
the RFC review phase.
Originally, carl9170_tx_ampdu_queue erroneously
dropped a lot of frames. As a result the ampdu
scheduler bogged down quite frequently and the
affected BA session timed out.
However this bug has been fixed and the WA and
its debugfs counter is no longer useful.

mac80211: fix offchannel assumption upon association
Association is dealt with as an atomic offchannel operation,
we do this because we don't know we are associated until we
get the associatin response from the AP. When we do get the
associatin response though we were never clearing the offchannel
state. This has a few implications, we told drivers we were
still offchannel, and the first configured TX power for the
channel does not take into account any power constraints.
For ath9k this meant ANI calibration would not start upon
association, and we'd have to wait until the first bgscan
to be triggered. There may be other issues this resolves
but I'm too lazy to comb the code to check.

iwl3945: queue the right work if the scan needs to be aborted
iwl3945's scan_completed calls into the mac80211 stack which triggers a
warn on if there is no scan outstanding.
This can be avoided by not calling scan_completed but abort_scan in
iwl3945_request_scan in the done: branch of the function which is used
as an error out.
The done: branch seems to be an error-out branch, as, for example, if
iwl_is_ready(priv) returns false the done: branch is executed.
NOTE:
I'm not familiar with the driver at all.
I just quickly scanned as a reaction to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17722
the users of scan_completed in the iwl3945 driver and noted the odd
discrepancy between the comment above this instance and the comment in
mac80211 scan_completed function.
