b0dee5784d Fix modpost failure when rx handlers are not inlined.
When CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=n and CONFIG_MAC80211_NOINLINE=y,
gcc doesn't optimize out a call to ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding,
even if the previous comparison is always false in this case.
This leads to the following errors during modpost:

ERROR: "mpp_path_lookup" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "mpp_path_add" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined!

Fix by removing the possibility of uninlining
ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding rx handler.

ba0166708e sctp: Fix kernel panic while process protocol violation parameter
Since call to function sctp_sf_abort_violation() need paramter 'arg' with
'struct sctp_chunk' type, it will read the chunk type and chunk length from
the chunk_hdr member of chunk. But call to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
always with 'struct sctp_paramhdr' type's parameter, it will be passed to
sctp_sf_abort_violation(). This may cause kernel panic.

   sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
     |-- sctp_sf_abort_violation()
        |-- sctp_make_abort_violation()

This patch fixed this problem. This patch also fix two place which called
sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() with wrong paramter type.

7dc5d24be0 9p-trans_fd: fix trans_fd::p9_conn_destroy()
p9_conn_destroy() first kills all current requests by calling
p9_conn_cancel(), then waits for the request list to be cleared by
waiting on p9_conn->equeue.  After that, polling is stopped and the
trans is destroyed.  This sequence has a few problems.

* Read and write works were never cancelled and the p9_conn can be
  destroyed while the works are running as r/w works remove requests
  from the list and dereference the p9_conn from them.

* The list emptiness wait using p9_conn->equeue wouldn't trigger
  because p9_conn_cancel() always clears all the lists and the only
  way the wait can be triggered is to have another task to issue a
  request between the slim window between p9_conn_cancel() and the
  wait, which isn't safe under the current implementation with or
  without the wait.

This patch fixes the problem by first stopping poll, which can
schedule r/w works, first and cancle r/w works which guarantees that
r/w works are not and will not run from that point and then calling
p9_conn_cancel() and do the rest of destruction.

9p trans modules aren't refcounted nor were they unregistered
properly.  Fix it.

* Add 9p_trans_module->owner and reference the module on each trans
  instance creation and put it on destruction.

* Protect v9fs_trans_list with a spinlock.  This isn't strictly
  necessary as the list is manipulated only during module loading /
  unloading but it's a good idea to make the API safe.

* Unregister trans modules when the corresponding module is being
  unloaded.

* While at it, kill unnecessary EXPORT_SYMBOL on p9_trans_fd_init().

4b7679a561 mac80211: clean up rate control API
Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control
API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of
net/mac80211/.

There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking,
we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to
do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control
algorithm or via new API.

Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we
will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right
now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before.

133b822638 mac80211: make master iface not wireless
There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211,
in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add
checks for the master interface all over the config handlers.
This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface
in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with
the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer.
Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers
can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also
removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting
the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.

2d4c826677 sys_paccept: disable paccept() until API design is resolved
The reasons for disabling paccept() are as follows:

* The API is more complex than needed.  There is AFAICS no demonstrated
  use case that the sigset argument of this syscall serves that couldn't
  equally be served by the use of pselect/ppoll/epoll_pwait + traditional
  accept().  Roland seems to concur with this opinion
  (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255).  I
  have (more than once) asked Ulrich to explain otherwise
  (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723952/focus=731018), but he
  does not respond, so one is left to assume that he doesn't know of such
  a case.

* The use of a sigset argument is not consistent with other I/O APIs
  that can block on a single file descriptor (e.g., read(), recv(),
  connect()).

* The behavior of paccept() when interrupted by a signal is IMO strange:
  the kernel restarts the system call if SA_RESTART was set for the
  handler.  I think that it should not do this -- that it should behave
  consistently with paccept()/ppoll()/epoll_pwait(), which never restart,
  regardless of SA_RESTART.  The reasoning here is that the very purpose
  of paccept() is to wait for a connection or a signal, and that
  restarting in the latter case is probably never useful.  (Note: Roland
  disagrees on this point, believing that rather paccept() should be
  consistent with accept() in its behavior wrt EINTR
  (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255).)

I believe that instead, a simpler API, consistent with Ulrich's other
recent additions, is preferable:

accept4(int fd, struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *salen, ind flags);

(This simpler API was originally proposed by Ulrich:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/92072)

If this simpler API is added, then if we later decide that the sigset
argument really is required, then a suitable bit in 'flags' could be added
to indicate the presence of the sigset argument.

At this point, I am hoping we either will get a counter-argument from
Ulrich about why we really do need paccept()'s sigset argument, or that he
will resubmit the original accept4() patch.

ebf059821e pkt_sched: Check the state of tx_queue in dequeue_skb()
Check in dequeue_skb() the state of tx_queue for requeued skb to save
on locking and re-requeuing, and possibly remove the current check in
qdisc_run(). Based on the idea of Alexander Duyck.

f0876520b0 pkt_sched: Always use q->requeue in dev_requeue_skb().
There is no reason to call into the complicated qdiscs
just to remember the last SKB where we found the device
blocked.

The SKB is outside of the qdiscs realm at this point.

0b815a1a6d net: network device name ifalias support
This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias
associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining
the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this
to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It
is just an arbitrary text label on the network device.

There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be
read/written either via netlink or sysfs.

This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more
generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good
place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.
