3393a608c4 mac80211: Prevent running sta_cleanup timer unnecessarily
The sta_cleanup timer is used to periodically expire buffered frames from the
tx buf. The timer is executing periodically, regardless of the need for it.
This is wasting resources.

Fix this simply by not restarting the sta_cleanup timer if the tx buffer was
empty. Restart the timer when there is some more tx-traffic.

2aab4c273a mac80211: fix stopping RX BA session from timer
Kalle reported that his system deadlocks since my
recent work in this area. The reason quickly became
apparent: we try to cancel_timer_sync() a timer
from within itself. Fix that by making the function
aware of the context it is called from.

fe6f212ce1 mac80211: pass HT changes to driver when off channel
Since "mac80211: make off-channel work generic" drivers have not been
notified of configuration changes after association or authentication. This
caused more dependence on current state to ensure driver will be notified
when configuration changes occur. One such problem arises if off-channel is
in progress when HT information changes. Since HT is only enabled on the
"oper_channel" the driver will never be notified of this change. Usually
the driver is notified soon after of a BSS information change
(BSS_CHANGED_HT) ... but since the driver did not get a notification that
this is a HT channel the new BSS information does not make sense.

Fix this by also changing the off-channel information when HT is enabled
and thus cause driver to be notified correctly.

This fixes a problem in 4965 when associated with 5GHz 40MHz channel.
Without this patch the system can associate but is unable to transfer any
data, not even ping.

88751275b8 rps: shortcut net_rps_action()
net_rps_action() is a bit expensive on NR_CPUS=64..4096 kernels, even if
RPS is not active.

Tom Herbert used two bitmasks to hold information needed to send IPI,
but a single LIFO list seems more appropriate.

Move all RPS logic into net_rps_action() to cleanup net_rx_action() code
(remove two ifdefs)

Move rps_remote_softirq_cpus into softnet_data to share its first cache
line, filling an existing hole.

In a future patch, we could call net_rps_action() from process_backlog()
to make sure we send IPI before handling this cpu backlog.

72fd071833 bnx2x: Parity errors handling for 57710 and 57711
This patch introduces the parity errors handling code for 57710 and 57711 chips.

HW is configured to stop all DMA transactions to the host and sending packets to the network
once parity error is detected, which is meant to prevent silent data corruption.
At the same time HW generates the attention interrupt to every function of the device where parity
has been detected so that driver can start the recovery flow.

The recovery is actually resetting the chip and restarting the driver on all active functions
of the chip where the parity error has been reported.

133b8f9d63 ecryptfs: fix use with tmpfs by removing d_drop from ecryptfs_destroy_inode
Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory
so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0.
->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't
instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads
directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed.

When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry
with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and
destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and
d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in
2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I
believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well.

The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs
from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to
be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no
ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage.

As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs
BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed.
tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop
the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries,
but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries
still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG().

This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

cfce08c6bd ecryptfs: fix error code for missing xattrs in lower fs

3a60a1686f eCryptfs: Decrypt symlink target for stat size
Create a getattr handler for eCryptfs symlinks that is capable of
reading the lower target and decrypting its path.  Prior to this patch,
a stat's st_size field would represent the strlen of the encrypted path,
while readlink() would return the strlen of the decrypted path.  This
could lead to confusion in some userspace applications, since the two
values should be equal.

fc6055a5ba net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()
Transmitted skb might be attached to a socket and a destructor, for
memory accounting purposes.

Traditionally, this destructor is called at tx completion time, when skb
is freed.

When tx completion is performed by another cpu than the sender, this
forces some cache lines to change ownership. XPS was an attempt to give
tx completion to initial cpu.

David idea is to call destructor right before giving skb to device (call
to ndo_start_xmit()). Because device queues are usually small, orphaning
skb before tx completion is not a big deal. Some drivers already do
this, we could do it in upper level.

There is one known exception to this early orphaning, called tx
timestamping. It needs to keep a reference to socket until device can
give a hardware or software timestamp.

This patch adds a skb_orphan_try() helper, to centralize all exceptions
to early orphaning in one spot, and use it in dev_hard_start_xmit().

"tbench 16" results on a Nehalem machine (2 X5570  @ 2.93GHz)
before: Throughput 4428.9 MB/sec 16 procs
after: Throughput 4448.14 MB/sec 16 procs

UDP should get even better results, its destructor being more complex,
since SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE is not set (four atomic ops instead of one)

9958da0501 net: remove time limit in process_backlog()
- There is no point to enforce a time limit in process_backlog(), since
other napi instances dont follow same rule. We can exit after only one
packet processed...
The normal quota of 64 packets per napi instance should be the norm, and
net_rx_action() already has its own time limit.
Note : /proc/net/core/dev_weight can be used to tune this 64 default
value.

- Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED for softnet_data definition.

b91ecb0027 gigaset: include cleanup cleanup
Commit 5a0e3ad causes slab.h to be included twice in many of the
Gigaset driver's source files, first via the common include file
gigaset.h and then a second time directly. Drop the spares, and
use the opportunity to clean up a few more similar cases.

Impact: cleanup, no functional change
