The VF driver was not correctly recognizing that it did not correctly set
it's mac address. As a result the VF driver was unable to receive network
traffic until being unloaded and reloaded. The issue was root caused to
the fact that the CTS bit was not taken into account when checking for the
request being NAKed.

This patch supersedes my previous patch "sky2: Avoid transmitting
during sky2_restart".
I have reworked the patch to avoid crashes during both sky2_restart()
and sky2_set_ringparam().
Without this patch, the sky2 driver can be crashed by doing:
# pktgen eth1 & (transmit many packets on eth1)
# ethtool -G eth1 tx 510
I am aware you object to storing extra state, but I can't see a way
around this. Without remembering that we're restarting,
netif_wake_queue() is called in the ISR from sky2_tx_complete(), and
netif_tx_lock() is used in sky2_tx_done(). If anybody can see a way
around this, please let me know.

Do all key clearing except sending sommands to device when rfkill
enabled. When rfkill enabled the interface is brought down and will
be brought back up correctly after rfkill is enabled again.
Same change is not needed for iwl3945 as it ignores return code when
sending key clearing command to device.

A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
"cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
support such enhancements when world roaming.
Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
world wide.
This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
upon wiphy registration.
I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

The default completion timeout values for 82598 should be in the
range of 50us to 50ms, however the hardware default for these
parts is 500us to 1ms which is less than the 10ms recommended by
the pcie spec. To address this we need to increase the value to
either 10ms to 250ms for capability version 1 configuration, or
16ms to 55ms for version 2.

VLB support has been broken since at least 2004-2005 period as some
changes introduced back then assumed that ->pci_dev is always valid,
lets try to fix it:
- remove duplicated SET_NETDEV_DEV() call
- call SET_NETDEV_DEV() only for PCI devices
- check for ->pci_dev validity in pcnet32_open()
[ Alternatively we may consider removing VLB support but there would not
be much gain in it since an extra driver code needed for VLB support is
minimal and quite simple. ]
This takes care of the following entry from Dan's list:

This patch fixes the corner cases where the sum of MTU of the free
channels (adjusted for fragmentation overheads) is less than the MTU
of PPP link. There are at least 3 situations where this case might
arise:
- some of the channels are busy
- the multilink session is running in a degraded state (i.e. with less
than its full complement of active channels)
- by design, where multilink protocol is being used to artificially
increase the effective link MTU of a single link.
Without this patch, at most 1 fragment is ever sent per free channel
for a given PPP frame and any remaining part of the PPP frame that
does not fit into those fragments is silently discarded.
This patch restores the original behaviour which was broken by commit
9c705260feea6ae329bc6b6d5f6d2ef0227eda0a 'ppp:ppp_mp_explode()
redesign'. Once all 'free' channels have been given a fragment, an
additional fragment is queued to each available channel in turn, as many
times as necessary, until the entire PPP frame has been consumed.

When a user disables interrupt throttling with ethtool on 82599 devices,
the interrupt timer may not be re-enabled if hardware RSC is running. The
RSC completions in hardware don't complete before the next ITR event tries
to fire, so the ITR timer never gets re-armed. This patch increases the
amount of time between interrupts when throttling is disabled (rx-usecs =
0) when the hardware RSC deature is enabled.

Several arrays were read before checking whether the index was within
bounds. ARRAY_SIZE() should be used to determine the size of arrays.
rates->rates has an arraysize of 1, so calling get_common_rates()
with a rates_size of MAX_RATES (14) was causing reads out of bounds.
tmp_size can increment at most to (ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) - 1) *
(*rates_size - 1), so that should be the number of elements of tmp[].
A goto can be eliminated: ret was already set upon its declaration.

I had a problem on 4965 hardware (well, probably other hardware too,
but others don't survive my stress testing right now, unfortunately)
where the driver was sending invalid commands to the device, but no
such thing could be seen from the driver's point of view. I could
reproduce this fairly easily by sending multiple TCP streams with
iperf on different TIDs, though sometimes a single iperf stream was
sufficient. It even happened with a single core, but I have forced
preemption turned on.
The culprit was a queue overrun, where we advanced the queue's write
pointer over the read pointer. After careful analysis I've come to
the conclusion that the cause is a race condition between iwlwifi
and mac80211.
mac80211, of course, checks whether the queue is stopped, before
transmitting a frame. This effectively looks like this:
lock(queues)
if (stopped(queue)) {
unlock(queues)
return busy;
}
unlock(queues)
... <-- this place will be important
there is some more code here
drv_tx(frame)
The driver, on the other hand, can stop and start queues, which does
lock(queues)
mark_running/stopped(queue)
unlock(queues)
[if marked running: wake up tasklet to send pending frames]
Now, however, once the driver starts the queue, mac80211 can see that
and end up at the marked place above, at which point for some reason the
driver seems to stop the queue again (I don't understand that) and then
we end up transmitting while the queue is actually full.
Now, this shouldn't actually matter much, but for some reason I've seen
it happen multiple times in a row and the queue actually overflows, at
which point the queue bites itself in the tail and things go completely
wrong.
This patch fixes this by just dropping the packet should this have
happened, and making the lock in iwlwifi cover everything so iwlwifi
can't race against itself (dropping the lock there might make it more
likely, but it did seem to happen without that too).
Since we can't hold the lock across drv_tx() above, I see no way to fix
this in mac80211, but I also don't understand why I haven't seen this
before -- maybe I just never stress tested it this badly.
With this patch, the device has survived many minutes of simultanously
sending two iperf streams on different TIDs with combined throughput
of about 60 Mbps.

Some 8168 are unable to WoL when receiving is not enabled (plain
old 8169 do not seem to care).
It is not exactly pretty to leave the receiver enabled but we
should now enable DMA late enough for it to be safe. Some late
stage boot failure due to pxe and friends may benefit from the
delayed enabling of bus-mastering as well.

Certain types of control packets (LLDP, LACP, etc.) are not supposed to have a

TC_PRIO_CONTROL are not priority tagged. It also transmits these packets on
the highest priority traffic class.
Programs (like dcbd) can set the skb priority using a socket option. Or, a tc
filter can be configured to set the priority value. Using the value
TC_PRIO_CONTROL (7) has the benefit that it is already defined in the kernel,
and the bonding LACP code already sets the skb->priority field to this value.

Currently, FCoE offload feature is turned on when the kernel config has
CONFIG_FCOE or CONFIG_FCOE_MODULE set. However, we really want to turn
FCoE offload on when there is FCoE traffic passing and turn it off when
it's just LAN traffic. Since FCoE depends on a lossless network provided
by DCB, this allows us to have FCoE turned on/off when user turns on DCB
using dcbtool.
