23bcf634c8 net_sched: fix estimator lock selection for mq child qdiscs
When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually
attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for
new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and
to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old
qdisc has been destroyed.

Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to
mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs.

Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc
itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.

4d8cd26849 wireless: mark prism54 as deprecated and mark for removal
The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC
PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware.
It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users
out there please let us know!

4789666e13 rt2x00: Hardcode TX ack timeout and consume time
The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK
consume time are different then the values as
used by the Legacy drivers.

After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that
the calculated values caused a high amount of TX
failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers
were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to
excessive retries.

The symptoms of this problem:
 - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs
 - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed

Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely)
 - Problems with DHCP
 - Broken connections due to lack of probe response

This should fix at least:
Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273]
Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203]
but possible some additional bugs as well.

This is based on the implementation in the vendor driver

If any ctl mode isn't found in the eeprom, we fall back to the "lower",
legacy modes (5GHT20,11A or 2GHT20,11G,11B). Otus only did 5GHT20->11A.

5dbc46506a IXP42x HSS support for setting internal clock rate
HSS usually uses external clocks, so it's not a big deal. Internal clock
is used for direct DTE-DTE connections and when the DCE doesn't provide
it's own clock.

This also depends on the oscillator frequency. Intel seems to have
calculated the clock register settings for 33.33 MHz (66.66 MHz timer
base). Their settings seem quite suboptimal both in terms of average
frequency (60 ppm is unacceptable for G.703 applications, their primary
intended usage(?)) and jitter.

Many (most?) platforms use a 33.333 MHz oscillator, a 10 ppm difference
from Intel's base.

Instead of creating static tables, I've created a procedure to program
the HSS clock register. The register consists of 3 parts (A, B, C).
The average frequency (= bit rate) is:
66.66x MHz / (A  + (B + 1) / (C + 1))
The procedure aims at the closest average frequency, possibly at the
cost of increased jitter. Nobody would be able to directly drive an
unbufferred transmitter with a HSS anyway, and the frequency error is
what it really counts.

I've verified the above with an oscilloscope on IXP425. It seems IXP46x
and possibly IXP43x use a bit different clock generation algorithm - it
looks like the avg frequency is:
(on IXP465) 66.66x MHz / (A  + B / (C + 1)).
Also they use much greater precomputed A and B - on IXP425 it would
simply result in more jitter, but I don't know how does it work on
IXP46x (perhaps 3 least significant bits aren't used?).

Anyway it looks that they were aiming for exactly +60 ppm or -60 ppm,
while <1 ppm is typically possible (with a synchronized clock, of
course).

The attached patch makes it possible to set almost any bit rate
(my IXP425 533 MHz quits at > 22 Mb/s if a single port is used, and the
minimum is ca. 65 Kb/s).

This is independent of MVIP (multi-E1/T1 on one HSS) mode.

6a581e9398 netxen: firmware hang detection
Implement state machine to detect firmware hung state
and recover. Since firmware will be shared by all PCI
functions that have different class drivers (NIC or
FCOE or iSCSI), explicit hardware based serialization
is required for initializing firmware.

o Used global scratchpad register to maintain device
  reference count. Every probed pci function adds to
  ref count.

o Implement timer (delayed work) for each pci func
  that checks firmware heartbit every 5 sec and detaches
  itself if firmware is dead. Last detaching function
  reloads firmware. Other functions wait for firmware
  init, and re-attach themselves.

Heartbit is not supported by NX2031 firmware.

6ec1c69a8f net_sched: add classful multiqueue dummy scheduler
This patch adds a classful dummy scheduler which can be used as root qdisc
for multiqueue devices and exposes each device queue as a child class.

This allows to address queues individually and graft them similar to regular
classes. Additionally it presents an accumulated view of the statistics of
all real root qdiscs in the dummy root.

Two new callbacks are added to the qdisc_ops and qdisc_class_ops:

- cl_ops->select_queue selects the tx queue number for new child classes.

- qdisc_ops->attach() overrides root qdisc device grafting to attach
  non-shared qdiscs to the queues.
