When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.
The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.
When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.
By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.
For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

We should not zero out the multicast hash when configuring
the operating mode, since a zero value means all multicast
frames will get dropped. Also, ath5k_mode_setup() gets
called after any reset, so the hash already set up in
configure_filter() is lost.

ops->set_tim() must be atomic, so b43 trying to acquire a mutex leads
to a kernel crash. This patch trades an easy to trigger crash in AP
mode for an unlikely race condition. According to Michael, the real
fix would be to allow set_tim() to sleep, since b43 is not the only
driver that needs to sleep in all callbacks.

On older kernels, e.g. 2.6.27, a WARN_ON dump in rtmsg_ifinfo()
is thrown when the CAN device is registered due to insufficient
skb space, as reported by various users. This patch adds the
rtnl_link_ops "get_size" to fix the problem. I think this patch
is required for more recent kernels as well, even if no WARN_ON
dumps are triggered. Maybe we also need "get_xstats_size" for
the CAN xstats.

RFC 2003 requires the outer header to have DF set if DF is set
on the inner header, even when PMTU discovery is off for the
tunnel. Our implementation does exactly that.
For this to work properly the IPIP gateway also needs to engate
in PMTU when the inner DF bit is set. As otherwise the original
host would not be able to carry out its PMTU successfully since
part of the path is only visible to the gateway.
Unfortunately when the tunnel PMTU discovery setting is off, we
do not collect the necessary soft state, resulting in blackholes
when the original host tries to perform PMTU discovery.
This problem is not reproducible on the IPIP gateway itself as
the inner packet usually has skb->local_df set. This is not
correctly cleared (an unrelated bug) when the packet passes
through the tunnel, which allows fragmentation to occur. For
hosts behind the IPIP gateway it is readily visible with a simple
ping.
This patch fixes the problem by performing PMTU discovery for
all packets with the inner DF bit set, regardless of the PMTU
discovery setting on the tunnel itself.

Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e361e864f0e9d75ebe2a0cb43d17c4272).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.
The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

As reported by Rick Farina (sidhayn@gmail.com), removing the RTL8187
USB stick, or unloading the driver rtl8187 using rmmod will cause a
kernel oops. There are at least two forms of the failure, (1) BUG:
Scheduling while atomic, and (2) a fatal kernel page fault. This
problem is reported in Bugzilla #14539.
This problem does not occur for kernel 2.6.31, but does for 2.6.32-rc2,
thus it is technically a regression; however, bisection did not locate
any faulty patch. The fix was found by comparing the faulty code in
rtl8187 with p54usb. My interpretation is that the handling of work
queues in mac80211 changed enough to the LEDs to be unregistered
before tasks on the work queues are cancelled. Previously, these
actions could be done in either order.
(Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> reports that the
code is the same in 2.6.31, so this may be a candidate for 2.6.31.x.

struct emac_priv *priv = netdev_priv(ndev);
...
Clearly emac_irq() needs "struct net_device *" as "void *dev_id", so correct this.

For some strange reason the netif_running() check
ended up after the actual type change instead of
before, potentially causing all kinds of problems
if the interface is up while changing the type;
one of the problems manifests itself as a warning:

commit 211a4d12abf86fe0df4cd68fc6327cbb58f56f81
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

cfg80211: sme: deauthenticate on assoc failure
introduced a potential NULL pointer dereference that
some people have been hitting for some reason -- the
params.bssid pointer is not guaranteed to be non-NULL
for what seems to be a race between various ways of
reaching the same thing.
While I'm trying to analyse the problem more let's
first fix the crash. I think the real fix may be to
avoid doing _anything_ if it ended up being NULL, but
right now I'm not sure yet.
I think
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14342
might also be this issue.

On a 64-bit kernel, skb->tail is an offset, not a pointer. The libertas
usb driver passes it to usb_fill_bulk_urb() anyway, causing interesting
crashes. Fix that by using skb->data instead.
This highlights a problem with usb_fill_bulk_urb(). It doesn't notice
when dma_map_single() fails and return the error to its caller as it
should. In fact it _can't_ currently return the error, since it returns
void.
So this problem was showing up only at unmap time, after we'd already
suffered memory corruption by doing DMA to a bogus address.
