This patch contains a set of cosmetic changes to TIPC's network
topology service subsystem, including:
- updates to comments (including copyright dates)
- re-ordering structure fields to group them more logically
- removal of optional debugging code that is no longer required
- minor changes to whitespace to conform to Linux coding conventions

This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it
only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber
connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the
reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber
act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since
the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa,
this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This
consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50%
in the default configuration.

This patch fixes TIPC's topology server so that it does byte swapping
correctly when endianness conversion is required. (Note: This bug only
impacted an application if it issues a subscription request to a
topology server on another node, rather than the server on it's own
node; since the topology server is normally not accessible by off-node
applications, most TIPC applications were not impacted by the bug.)

There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger
a kernel bug for certain types of failure. This patch reorganizes the
cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior.
This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of
configuration and initialization. Keeping the fd transport separate
from the core 9pnet code seemed like a good idea at the time, but in
practice has caused more harm and confusion than good.

All interfaces should set the IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS flag for all TX frames
which will force the master interface to set the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS
flag. This in turn will allow drivers to check for that flag before reporting
the TX status to mac80211.
This is very usefull when frames (like beacons, RTS and CTS-to-self) should not
be reported back to mac80211. Later we could add more extensive checks to
exclude more frames from being reported, or let mac80211 decide if it wants
the frame for status reporting or not.
v2: Monitor interfaces should also set IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS

checking at the optional sysfs level so depending on it

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
CPUs at the same time.
Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
is safe.
It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
introduces for accessing sta->flags.
Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
is in a bh context.

Conntrack ID is not put (anymore ?) in event messages. This causes
current ulogd2 code to fail because it uses the ID to build a hash in
userspace. This hash is used to be able to output the starting time of
a connection.
Conntrack ID can be used in userspace application to maintain an easy
match between kernel connections list and userspace one. It may worth
to add it if there is no performance related issue.

If receiver consumes segments successfully only in-order, FRTO
fallback to conventional recovery produces RTO loop because
FRTO's forward transmissions will always get dropped and need to
be resent, yet by default they're not marked as lost (which are
the only segments we will retransmit in CA_Loss).
Price to pay about this is occassionally unnecessarily
retransmitting the forward transmission(s). SACK blocks help
a bit to avoid this, so it's mainly a concern for NewReno case
though SACK is not fully immune either.
This change has a side-effect of fixing SACKFRTO problem where
it didn't have snd_nxt of the RTO time available anymore when
fallback become necessary (this problem would have only occured
when RTO would occur for two or more segments and ECE arrives
in step 3; no need to figure out how to fix that unless the
TODO item of selective behavior is considered in future).

It seems that commit 009a2e3e4ec ("[TCP] FRTO: Improve
interoperability with other undo_marker users") run into
another land-mine which caused fallback to conventional
recovery to break:
1. Cumulative ACK arrives after FRTO retransmission
2. tcp_try_to_open sees zero retrans_out, clears retrans_stamp
which should be kept like in CA_Loss state it would be
3. undo_marker change allowed tcp_packet_delayed to return
true because of the cleared retrans_stamp once FRTO is
terminated causing LossUndo to occur, which means all loss
markings FRTO made are reverted.
This means that the conventional recovery basically recovered
one loss per RTT, which is not that efficient. It was quite
unobvious that the undo_marker change broken something like
this, I had a quite long session to track it down because of
the non-intuitiviness of the bug (luckily I had a trivial
reproducer at hand and I was also able to learn to use kprobes
in the process as well :-)).
This together with the NewReno+FRTO fix and FRTO in-order
workaround this fixes Damon's problems, this and the first
mentioned are enough to fix Bugzilla #10063.
