fc77dc3cc1 ixgbe: add a netdev pointer to the ring structure
This change places a netdev pointer directly into the ring structure. This
way we can avoid having to determine which netdev we are supposed to be
using and can just access the one on the ring directly.
As a result of this change further collapse of the code is possible by
dropping the adapter from ixgbe_alloc_rx_buffers, and the netdev pointer
from ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring_adv and ixgbe_maybe_stop_tx.

84ea2591e4 ixgbe: drop ring->head, make ring->tail a pointer instead of offset
This change drops ring->head since it is not used in any hot-path and can
easily be determined using IXGBE_[RT]DH(ring->reg_idx).

It also changes ring->tail into a true pointer so we can avoid unnecessary
pointer math to find the location of the tail.

In addition I also dropped the setting of head and tail in
ixgbe_clean_[rx|tx]_ring. The only location that should be setting the head
and tail values is ixgbe_configure_[rx|tx]_ring and that is only while the
queue is disabled.

16b61beb39 ixgbe: DCB set PFC high and low water marks per data sheet specs
Currently the high and low water marks for PFC are being set
conservatively for jumbo frames. This means the RX buffers
are being underutilized in the default 1500 MTU. This patch
fixes this so that the water marks are set as described in
the data sheet considering the MTU size.

The equation used is,

RTT * 1.44 + MTU * 1.44 + MTU

Where RTT is the round trip time and MTU is the max frame size
in KB. To avoid floating point arithmetic FC_HIGH_WATER is
defined

((((RTT + MTU) * 144) + 99) / 100) + MTU

This changes how the hardware field fc.low_water and
fc.high_water are used. With this change they are no longer
storing the actual low water and high water markers but are
storing the required head room in the buffer. This simplifies
the logic and we do not need to account for the size of the
buffer when setting the thresholds.

Testing with iperf and 16 threads showed a slight uptick in
throughput over a single traffic class .1-.2Gbps and a reduction
in pause frames. Without the patch a 30 second run would show
~10-15 pause frames being transmitted with the patch ~2-5 are
seen. Test were run back to back with 82599.

Note RXPBSIZE is in KB and low and high water marks fields are
also in KB. However the FCRT* registers are 32B granularity and
right shifted 5 into the register,

(((rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 1024) / 32) << 5

is the most explicit conversion here we simplify

(rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 32 << 5 = (rx_pbsize - water_mark) << 10

This patch updates the PFC thresholds and legacy FC thresholds.

1a51502bdd ixgbe: delay rx_ring freeing
"cat /proc/net/dev" uses RCU protection only.

Its quite possible we call a driver get_stats() method while device is
dismantling and freeing its data structures.

So get_stats() methods must be very careful not accessing driver private
data without appropriate locking.

In ixgbe case, we access rx_ring pointers. These pointers are freed in
ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme() and set to NULL, this can trigger NULL
dereference in ixgbe_get_stats64()

A possible fix is to use RCU locking in ixgbe_get_stats64() and defer
rx_ring freeing after a grace period in ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme()

59365d136d kernel: make /proc/kallsyms mode 400 to reduce ease of attacking
Making /proc/kallsyms readable only for root by default makes it
slightly harder for attackers to write generic kernel exploits by
removing one source of knowledge where things are in the kernel.

This is the second submit, discussion happened on this on first submit
and mostly concerned that this is just one hole of the sieve ...  but
one of the bigger ones.

Changing the permissions of at least System.map and vmlinux is also
required to fix the same set, but a packaging issue.

Target of this starter patch and follow ups is removing any kind of
kernel space address information leak from the kernel.

[ Side note: the default of root-only reading is the "safe" value, and
  it's easy enough to then override at any time after boot.  The /proc
  filesystem allows root to change the permissions with a regular
  chmod, so you can "revert" this at run-time by simply doing

    chmod og+r /proc/kallsyms

  as root if you really want regular users to see the kernel symbols.
  It does help some tools like "perf" figure them out without any
  setup, so it may well make sense in some situations.  - Linus ]

b2268830f5 firewire: net: throttle TX queue before running out of tlabels
This prevents firewire-net from submitting write requests in fast
succession until failure due to all 64 transaction labels were used up
for unfinished split transactions.  The netif_stop/wake_queue API is
used for this purpose.

Without this stop/wake mechanism, datagrams were simply lost whenever
the tlabel pool was exhausted.  Plus, tlabel exhaustion by firewire-net
also prevented other unrelated outbound transactions to be initiated.

The chosen queue depth was checked by me to hit the maximum possible
throughput with an OS X peer whose receive DMA is good enough to never
reject requests due to busy inbound request FIFO.  Current Linux peers
show a mixed picture of -5%...+15% change in bandwidth; their current
bottleneck are RCODE_BUSY situations (fewer or more, depending on TX
queue depth) due to too small AR buffer in firewire-ohci.

Maxim Levitsky tested this change with similar watermarks with a Linux
peer and some pending firewire-ohci improvements that address the
RCODE_BUSY problem and confirmed that these TX queue limits are good.

Note:  This removes some netif_wake_queue from reception code paths.
They were apparently copy&paste artefacts from a nonsensical
netif_wake_queue use in the older eth1394 driver.  This belongs only
into the transmit path.

48553011ce firewire: net: replace lists by counters
The current transmit code does not at all make use of
  - fwnet_device.packet_list
and only very limited use of
  - fwnet_device.broadcasted_list,
  - fwnet_device.queued_packets.
Their current function is to track whether the TX soft-IRQ finished
dealing with an skb when the AT-req tasklet takes over, and to discard
pending tx datagrams (if there are any) when the local node is removed.

The latter does actually contain a race condition bug with TX soft-IRQ
and AT-req tasklet.

Instead of these lists and the corresponding link in fwnet_packet_task,
  - a flag in fwnet_packet_task to track whether fwnet_tx is done,
  - a counter of queued datagrams in fwnet_device
do the job as well.

The above mentioned theoretic race condition is resolved by letting
fwnet_remove sleep until all datagrams were flushed.  It may sleep
almost arbitrarily long since fwnet_remove is executed in the context of
a multithreaded (concurrency managed) workqueue.

The type of max_payload is changed to u16 here to avoid waste in struct
fwnet_packet_task.  This value cannot exceed 4096 per IEEE 1394:2008
table 16-18 (or 32678 per specification of packet headers, if there is
ever going to be something else than beta mode).

7ee11fa8d0 firewire: net: fix memory leaks
a) fwnet_transmit_packet_done used to poison ptask->pt_link by list_del.
If fwnet_send_packet checked later whether it was responsible to clean
up (in the border case that the TX soft IRQ was outpaced by the AT-req
tasklet on another CPU), it missed this because ptask->pt_link was no
longer shown as empty.

b) If fwnet_write_complete got an rcode other than RCODE_COMPLETE, we
missed to free the skb and ptask entirely.

Also, count stats.tx_dropped and stats.tx_errors when rcode != 0.

c08512c761 USB: improve uses of usb_mark_last_busy
This patch (as1434) cleans up the uses of usb_mark_last_busy() in
usbcore.  The function will be called when a device is resumed and
whenever a usage count is decremented.  A call that was missing from
the hub driver is added: A hub is used whenever one of its ports gets
suspended (this prevents hubs from suspending immediately after their
last child).

In addition, the call to disable autosuspend support for new devices
by default is moved from usb_detect_quirks() (where it doesn't really
belong) into usb_new_device() along with all the other runtime-PM
initializations.  Finally, an extra pm_runtime_get_noresume() is added
to prevent new devices from autosuspending while they are being
registered.

This patch (as1428) converts USB over to the new runtime-PM core
autosuspend framework.  One slightly awkward aspect of the conversion
is that USB devices will now have two suspend-delay attributes: the
old power/autosuspend file and the new power/autosuspend_delay_ms
file.  One expresses the delay time in seconds and the other in
milliseconds, but otherwise they do the same thing.  The old attribute
can be deprecated and then removed eventually.

to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also
the supported rate IE's.

This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to
fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

82b873afe8 ath9k: clean up tx buffer setup
Merge ath_tx_send_normal and ath_tx_send_ht_normal.
Move the paprd state initialization and sequence number assignment
to reduce the number of redundant checks.

This not only simplifies buffer allocation error handling, but also
removes a small inconsistency in the buffer HT flag.
This flag should only be set if the frame is also a QoS data frame.

7afbb2f070 ath5k: Cleanup opmode setting logic.
An earlier review suggested moving the code in a small
method that was only called once inline.  This patch
accomplishes that.

6ee63f55c7 ath9k_hw: Fix low throughput issue with AR93xx
TX underruns were noticed when RTS/CTS preceded aggregates.
This issue was noticed in ar93xx family of chipsets only.
The workaround involves padding the RTS or CTS length up
to the min packet length of 256 bytes required by the
hardware by adding delimiters to the fist descriptor of
the aggregate.
