c68df2e7be mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE
In 46fa38e84b ("mac80211: allow software PS-Poll/U-APSD with
AP_LINK_PS"), Johannes allowed to use mac80211's code for handling
stations that go to PS or send PS-Poll / uAPSD trigger frames for
devices that enable RSS.

This means that mac80211 doesn't look at frames anymore but rather
relies on a notification that will come from the device when a PS
transition occurs or when a PS-Poll / trigger frame is detected by
the device.

iwlwifi will need this capability but still needs mac80211 to take
care of the TIM IE. Today, if a driver sets AP_LINK_PS, mac80211
will not update the TIM IE. Change mac80211 to check existence of
the set_tim driver callback rather than using AP_LINK_PS to decide
if the driver handles the TIM IE internally or not.

e8a24cd4b8 mac80211: allow driver to handle packet-loss mechanism
Based on consecutive msdu failures, mac80211 triggers CQM packet-loss
mechanism. Drivers like ath10k that have its own connection monitoring
algorithm, offloaded to firmware for triggering station kickout. In case
of station kickout, driver will report low ack status by mac80211 API
(ieee80211_report_low_ack).

This flag will enable the driver to completely rely on firmware events
for station kickout and bypass mac80211 packet loss mechanism.

There's no point in allowing connect keys when one of them

8d51dbb8c7 mac80211: Re-structure aqm debugfs output and keep CoDel stats per txq
Currently the 'aqm' stats in mac80211 only keeps overlimit drop stats,
not CoDel stats. This moves the CoDel stats into the txqi structure to
keep them per txq in order to show them in debugfs.

In addition, the aqm debugfs output is restructured by splitting it up
into three files: One global per phy, one per netdev and one per
station, in the appropriate directories. The files are all called aqm,
and are only created if the driver supports the wake_tx_queue op (rather
than emitting an error on open as previously).

480dd46b9d mac80211: RX BA support for sta max_rx_aggregation_subframes
The ability to change the max_rx_aggregation frames is useful
in cases of IOP.

There exist some devices (latest mobile phones and some AP's)
that tend to not respect a BA sessions maximum size (in Kbps).
These devices won't respect the AMPDU size that was negotiated during
association (even though they do respect the maximal number of packets).

This violation is characterized by a valid number of packets in
a single AMPDU. Even so, the total size will exceed the size negotiated
during association.

Eventually, this will cause some undefined behavior, which in turn
causes the hw to drop packets, causing the throughput to plummet.

This patch will make the subframe limitation to be held by each station,
instead of being held only by hw.

b7fb44daca nl80211: Allow GET_INTERFACE dumps to be filtered

However, this behavior has not been implemented until now.

 * use nl80211_dump_wiphy_parse() to also allow passing an interface
   to be able to dump its siblings
 * fix locking (must hold rtnl around using nl80211_fam.attrbuf)

8fee315603 Merge branch 'vrf-tx-hook'
David Ahern says:

====================
net: Convert vrf to tx hook

The motivation for this series is that ICMP Unreachable - Fragmentation
Needed packets are not handled properly for VRFs. Specifically, the
FIB lookup in __ip_rt_update_pmtu fails so no nexthop exception is
created with the reduced MTU. As a result connections stall if packets
larger than the smallest MTU in the path are generated.

While investigating that problem I also noticed that the MSS for all
connections in a VRF is based on the VRF device's MTU and not the
route the packets ultimately go through. VRF currently uses a dst
to direct packets to the device. The first FIB lookup returns this dst
and then the lookup in the VRF driver gets the actual output route. A
side effect of this design is that the VRF dst is cached on sockets
and then used for calculations like the MSS.

This series fixes this problem by removing the hook in the FIB lookups
that returns the dst pointing to the VRF device to the VRF and always
doing the actual FIB lookup. This allows the real dst to be used
throughout the stack (for example the MSS). Packets are diverted to
the VRF device on Tx using an l3mdev hook in the output path similar to
to what is done for Rx. The end result is a simpler implementation for
VRF with fewer intrusions into the network stack and symmetrical packet
handling for Rx and Tx paths.

Comparison of netperf performance for a build without l3mdev (best case
performance), the old vrf driver and the VRF driver from this series.
Data are collected using VMs with virtio + vhost. The netperf client
runs in the VM and netserver runs in the host. 1-byte RR tests are done
as these packets exaggerate the performance hit due to the extra lookups
done for l3mdev and VRF.

Command: netperf -cC -H ${ip} -l 60 -t {TCP,UDP}_RR [-J red]

                      TCP_RR              UDP_RR
                   IPv4     IPv6       IPv4     IPv6
no l3mdev        29,996   30,601     31,638   24,336
vrf old          27,417   27,626     29,159   24,801
vrf new          28,036   28,372     30,110   24,857
l3mdev, no vrf   29,534   30,465     30,670   24,346

 * Transactions per second as reported by netperf
 * netperf modified to take a bind-to-device argument -- the -J red option

1. 'no l3mdev'      == NET_L3_MASTER_DEV is unset so code is compiled out
2. 'vrf old'        == data for existing implementation
3. 'vrf new'        == data with this series
4. 'l3mdev, no vrf' == NET_L3_MASTER_DEV is enabled but traffic is not
                       going through a VRF

About the series
- patch 1 adds the flow update (changing oif or iif to L3 master device
  and setting the flag to skip the oif check) to ipv4 and ipv6 paths just
  before hitting the rules. This catches all code paths in a single spot.

- patch 2 adds the Tx hook to push the packet to the l3mdev if relevant

- patch 3 adds some checks so the vrf device can act as a vrf-local
  loopback. These changes were not needed before since the vrf dst was
  returned from the lookup.

- patches 4 and 5 flip the ipv4 and ipv6 stacks to the tx hook leaving
  the route lookup to be the real one. The dst flip happens at the
  beginning of the L3 output path so the VRFs can have device based
  features such as netfilter, tc and tcpdump.

- patches 6-11 remove no longer needed l3mdev code

v2
- properly handle IPv6 link scope addresses

- keep the device xmit path and associated dst which is switched in by
  the l3_out hook. packets still need to go through the xmit path in
  case the user puts a qdisc on the vrf device and to allow tc rules.
  version 1 short circuited the tx handling and only covered netfilter
  and tcpdump.

Link scope addresses (linklocal and multicast) need special handling:
specifically the oif the flow struct can not be changed because we

and the returned route MUST point to the interface scope passed in.

0f0d0ed087 ATM-ZeitNet: Replace one kzalloc() call by kcalloc()
* The script "checkpatch.pl" can point information out like the following.

  WARNING: Prefer kcalloc over kzalloc with multiply

  Thus fix the affected source code place.

* Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.

* Delete the local variable "size" which became unnecessary with
  this refactoring.

5ad3ea3d39 ATM-ZeitNet: Improve a size determination in zatm_open()
Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

32230ac1cc ATM-ZeitNet: Use kmalloc_array() in start_tx()
* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
  indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
  Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.

0ba8abb770 ATM-nicstar: Refactor a dev_alloc_skb() call in dequeue_rx()
The script "checkpatch.pl" can point out that assignments should usually
not be performed within condition checks.
Thus move an assignment for a local variable to a separate statement
in this function.
