fe0b3b96ab iwlwifi: sta_id cannot be invalid in rs_initialize_lq
The only caller of this is iwl_rs_rate_init
which is only called with a valid sta_id.

fe6b23dd36 iwlwifi: implement new mac80211 station add/remove calls
mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.

This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

7e2461910e iwlwifi: only add broadcast station once
Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.

We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.

We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.

Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.

There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.

abf35df215 NET: Support clause 45 MDIO commands at the MDIO bus level
IEEE 802.3ae clause 45 specifies a somewhat modified MDIO protocol
for use by 10GIGE phys. The main change is a 21 bit address split into
a 5 bit device ID and a 16 bit register offset. The definition is designed
so that normal and extended devices can run on the same MDIO bus.

Extend mdio-bitbang to do the new protocol. At the MDIO bus level the
protocol is requested by or'ing MII_ADDR_C45 into the register offset.

Make phy_read/phy_write/etc pass a full 32 bit register offset.

This does not attempt to make the phy layer support C45 style PHYs, just
to provide the MDIO bus support.

Tested against a Broadcom 10GE phy with ID 0x206034, and several
Broadcom 10/100/1000 Phys in normal mode.

ca50910185 tipc: Allow retransmission of cloned buffers
Forward port commit
fc477e160af086f6e30c3d4fdf5f5c000d29beb5
from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git

Origional commit message:

Allow retransmission of cloned buffers

This patch fixes an issue with TIPC's message retransmission logic
that prevented retransmission of clone sk_buffs.  Originally intended
as a means of avoiding wasted work in retransmitting messages that
were still on the driver's outbound queue, it also prevented TIPC
from retransmitting messages through other means -- such as the
secondary bearer of the broadcast link, or another interface in a
set of bonded interfaces.  This fix removes existing checks for
cloned sk_buffs that prevented such retransmission.

1a624832a0 tipc: Increase frequency of load distribution over broadcast link
Forward port commit 29eb572941501c40ac6e62dbc5043bf9ee76ee56
from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git

Origional commit message:
Increase frequency of load distribution over broadcast link

This patch enhances the behavior of TIPC's broadcast link so that it
alternates between redundant bearers (if available) after every
message sent, rather than after every 10 messages.  This change helps
to speed up delivery of retransmitted messages by ensuring that
they are not sent repeatedly over a bearer that is no longer working,
but not yet recognized as failed.

Tested by myself in the latest net-2.6 tree using the tipc sanity test suite

14bb478983 bridge: per-cpu packet statistics (v3)
The shared packet statistics are a potential source of slow down
on bridged traffic. Convert to per-cpu array, but only keep those
statistics which change per-packet.

0a9627f264 rps: Receive Packet Steering
This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS).  RPS
distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.

Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
packet load.  This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.

This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
of other CPUs.   This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
performed on packets in parallel.   For each device (or each receive queue in
a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
into the CPU mask.  The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
softirqs between CPUs.  This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.

Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
(e.g. the Toeplitz hash).  This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
steering it to a remote CPU.

The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
/sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus.  This is a set of canonical
bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>).  If a device
does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).

Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
queue device with good CPU utilization.  Optimal settings for the CPU mask
seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy.  Below are some results
running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.

e1000e on 8 core Intel
   Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU
   With RPS:    311K tps at 64% CPU

forcedeth on 16 core AMD
   Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU
   With RPS:    404K tps at 49% CPU

bnx2x on 16 core AMD
   Without RPS  567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
   Without RPS  738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues)
   With RPS:    854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)

Caveats:
- The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
- This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet.  In
a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
- The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets.  It's
probably best not change the masks too frequently.

561c7df63e RDS: Do not call set_page_dirty() with irqs off
set_page_dirty() unconditionally re-enables interrupts, so
if we call it with irqs off, they will be on after the call,
and that's bad. This patch moves the call after we've re-enabled
interrupts in send_drop_to(), so it's safe.

Also, add BUG_ONs to let us know if we ever do call set_page_dirty
with interrupts off.

450d06c020 RDS: Properly unmap when getting a remote access error
If the RDMA op has aborted with a remote access error,
in addition to what we already do (tell userspace it has
completed with an error) also unmap it and put() the rm.

Otherwise, hangs may occur on arches that track maps and
will not exit without proper cleanup.

b98ba52f96 RDS: only put sockets that have seen congestion on the poll_waitq
rds_poll_waitq's listeners will be awoken if we receive a congestion
notification. Bad performance may result because *all* polled sockets
contend for this single lock. However, it should not be necessary to
wake pollers when a congestion update arrives if they have never
experienced congestion, and not putting these on the waitq will
hopefully greatly reduce contention.

It seems rds_send_drop_to() called
__rds_rdma_send_complete(rs, rm, RDS_RDMA_CANCELED)
with only rds_sock lock, but not rds_message lock. It raced with

such as from within rds_rdma_send_complete().

RDS's error messages when a connection goes down are a little
extreme. A connection may go down, and it will be re-established,
and everything is fine. This patch links these messages through
rdsdebug(), instead of to printk directly.
