Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.

Highlights:

1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")

From Eliezer Tamir.

2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.

3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.

4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
Pavel Emelyanov.

5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
Rony Efraim.

6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.

7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.

8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
from Cong Wang.

9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.

10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.

11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.

12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.

13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.

14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.

15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
Cheng.

16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
Horman.

17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
Pirko and Timo Teräs.

18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
Huewe.

19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.

20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.

21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.

22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
Willem de Bruijn.

23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
Dumazet.

24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
from Eric Dumazet.

25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.

26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.

27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.

28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.

29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next

John W. Linville says:

====================
I would guess that this is the last big wireless pull request before
the 3.11 merge window...

Regarding the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"I have a number of mesh fixes and improvements from Colleen, Jacob,
Ashok and Thomas, powersave fixes in mac80211 from Alex, improved
management-TX from Antonio, and a few various things, including locking
fixes, from others and myself. Overall though, nothing really stands
out."

As for the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:

"Emmanuel contributed two AP mode fixes, removed an unused field, fixed a
comment and added a warning for something that shouldn't happen in
practice, and I removed the declaration of a function that doesn't even
exist and cleaned up a small include."

"This time I have a number of cleanups, a small fix from Emmanuel and two
performance improvements that combined reduce our driver's CPU
utilisation as much as 75% in high TX-throughput scenarios."

"These two patches fix two issues with using rfkill randomly during
traffic, which would then cause our driver to stop working and not be
able to recover at all."

Regarding the ath6kl bits, Kalle says:

"Here are few simple patches for ath6kl. We have a suspend crash fix for
USB from Shafi, use of mac_pton(), a compiler warning fix and a fix for
module initialisation error path."

Kalle also sends the biggest single item of note, the new ath10k
driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac CQA98xx devices.

Included is an NFC pull, of which Samuel says:

"These are the pending NFC patches for the 3.11 merge window.

It contains the pending fixes that were on nfc-fixes (nfc-fixes-3.10-2),
along with a few more for the pn544 and pn533 drivers, the LLCP
disconnection path and an LLCP memory leak.

Highlights for this one are:

- An initial secure element API. NFC chipsets can carry an embedded
secure element or get access to the SIM one. In both cases they
control the secure elements and this API provides a way to discover,
enable and disable the available SEs. It also exports that to
userspace in order for SE focused middleware to actually do something
with them (e.g. payments).

- NCI over SPI support. SPI is the most complex NCI specified transport
layer and we now have support for it in the kernel. The next step will
be to implement drivers for NCI chipsets using this transport like
e.g. bcm2079x.

- NFC p2p hardware simulation driver. We now have an nfcsim driver that
is mostly a loopback device between 2 NFC interfaces. It also
implements the rest of the NFC core API like polling and target
detection. This driver, with neard running on top of it, allows us to
completely test the LLCP, SNEP and Handover implementation without
physical hardware.

- A Firmware update netlink API. Most (All ?) HCI chipsets have a
special firmware update mode where applications can push a new
firmware that will be flashed. We now have a netlink API for providing
that mode to e.g. nfctool."

On top of all that, there are a variety of updates to brcmfmac,
iwlegacy, rtlwifi, wil6210, and the TI wl12xx drivers. As usual,
the bcma and ssb busses get a little love as well, as do a handful
of others here and there.

Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next

John W. Linville says:

====================
Here is one last(?) big wireless bits pull request before the merge window...

Regarding the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"Here's another big pull request for the -next stream. This one has a ton
of driver updates, which hopefully addresses all drivers, but maybe you
have more new drivers than I have in my tree? Not entirely sure, let me
know if this is the case and then I can merge wireless-next.

I'm including a large number of small changes, see the shortlog. The two
bigger things are making VHT compatible with not using channel contexts
(from Karl) and the stop-while-suspended fixes I developed together with
Stanislaw."

...and...

"This time I have a relatively large number of fixes and small
improvements, the most important one being Bob's RCU fix. The two big
things are Felix's work on rate scaling tables (with a big thanks to
Karl too) and my own work on CSA handling to finally properly handle HT
(and some VHT.)"

As for the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:

"The biggest work here is Bluetooth coexistence and power saving. Other
than that, I have a few small fixes that weren't really needed for 3.9
and a new PCI ID."

About the NFC bits, Samuel says:

"With this one we have:

- A major pn533 update. The pn533 framing support has been changed in order to
easily support all pn533 derivatives. For example we now support the ACR122
USB dongle.

- An NFC MEI physical layer code factorization through the mei_phy NFC API.
Both the microread and the pn544 drivers now use it.

- LLCP aggregation support. This allows NFC p2p devices to send aggregated
frames containing all sort of LLCP frames except SYMM and aggregation
frames.

- More LLCP socket options for getting the remote device link parameters.

- Fixes for the LLCP socket option code added with the first pull request for
3.10.

- Some support for LLCP corner cases like 0 length SDUs and general DISC
(tagged with a 0,0 dsap ssap couple) handling.

- RFKILL support for NFC."

For the b43 bits, Rafał says:

"Let me remind the changes for b43:
> Changes include:
> 1) Minor improvements for HT-PHY code (BCM4331)
> 2) Code cleaning for HT-PHY and N-PHY"

Concerning the bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:

"A set of changes intended for 3.10. The biggest changes here are from David
Herrmann, he rewrote most of the HIDP layer making it more reliable. Marcel
added a driver setup stage for device that need special handling on their
early initialization. Other than that we have the usual clean ups, bugfixes
and small improvements."

Along with all that, there is the usual collection of random/various
updates to ath9k, mwifiex, brcmfmac, brcmsmac, rt2x00, and wil6210.

I also included a pull of the wireless tree to resolve a merge conflict.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next into wireless

John W. Linville says:

====================
This is a big pull request for new features intended for the 3.10
stream...

Regarding mac80211, Johannes says:

"First, I merged mac80211/master to avoid some conflicts. This brings in
a bunch of fixes you're already familiar with. For real -next material,
I have a whole bunch of minstrel work, minstrel_ht from Felix and legacy
minstrel from Thomas (Huehn). The other Thomas (Pedersen) did a number
of changes in mesh to allow userspace peering management even when the
mesh isn't secured. Stanislaw changes suspend/resume to always
disconnect the networks. This is typically already done by
network-manager so won't make a huge difference for most users, but
fixes a number problems, particularly with USB drivers that can easily
disconnect while suspended. Ilan has a small change to allow mac80211
drivers to differentiate remain-on-channel reasons, and Jouni extends
nl80211 to allow fast roaming with full-MAC devices. I have a fairly
large number of patches as well, many of them fairly simple cleanups,
but also allowing split wiphy dumps and adding back the full wiphy
information in nl80211, station entry change checking and more VHT work
including VHT capability overrides (mostly for testing purposes)."

And for iwlwifi, Johannes says:

"Here, I also merged iwlwifi-fixes to avoid conflicts, and otherwise have
various cleanups and improvements on the MVM driver, along with a few
throughout the driver. Other than Bluetooth Coexistence from Emmanuel
there's no over-arching theme, so listing them would pretty much
reproduce the shortlog."

Regarding NFC, Samuel says:

"The 2 features we have with this one are:

- An LLCP Service Name Lookup (SNL) netlink interface for querying LLCP
service availability from user space.
Along the way, Thierry also improved the existing SNL interface for

And for ath6kl, Kalle says:

"I added tracing support to ath6kl, along with a new Kconfig option. Now
there's also a workaround to reset USB devices when the firmware upload
fails, this happened when host was warm rebooted. There are also quite a
few small fixes or cleanup."

On top of all that, there is the usual bundle of driver updates
with new features, new hardware support and the like mixed-in.
The ath9k, b43, brcmfmac, mwifiex, rt2800, and wil6210 drivers
are all well-represented, and a few other drivers are hit as well.
I also pulled-in the wireless fixes tree in order to resolve some
pending merge conflicts.

Please let me know if there are problems!
