b0544eb601 b43: Really disable QoS, if requested
Currently, when QoS-disable is requested, we would leave QoS enabled
in firmware, but only queue frames on one queue.
Change that and also tell firmware about disabled QoS, so it
completely ignores all the QoS parameters. Also don't upload the parameters,
if QoS is disabled.

4789666e13 rt2x00: Hardcode TX ack timeout and consume time
The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK
consume time are different then the values as
used by the Legacy drivers.

After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that
the calculated values caused a high amount of TX
failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers
were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to
excessive retries.

The symptoms of this problem:
 - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs
 - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed

Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely)
 - Problems with DHCP
 - Broken connections due to lack of probe response

This should fix at least:
Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273]
Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203]
but possible some additional bugs as well.

fea6734a0e ath,ar9170: implemented conformance test limit calc. for tx power
apply the conformance test limits (CTL) stored in the eeprom upon
the values calculated for the tx power (ar->power_*).

This is based on the implementation in the vendor driver
(hal/hpmain.c, line 3700 ff.) with one difference:
If any ctl mode isn't found in the eeprom, we fall back to the "lower",
legacy modes (5GHT20,11A or 2GHT20,11G,11B). Otus only did 5GHT20->11A.

Currently CTL are applied for the FCC group only.

6ec1c69a8f net_sched: add classful multiqueue dummy scheduler
This patch adds a classful dummy scheduler which can be used as root qdisc
for multiqueue devices and exposes each device queue as a child class.

This allows to address queues individually and graft them similar to regular
classes. Additionally it presents an accumulated view of the statistics of
all real root qdiscs in the dummy root.

Two new callbacks are added to the qdisc_ops and qdisc_class_ops:

- cl_ops->select_queue selects the tx queue number for new child classes.

- qdisc_ops->attach() overrides root qdisc device grafting to attach
  non-shared qdiscs to the queues.

af356afa01 net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_api
Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from
a few problems:

- with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means
  they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion.

- all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created
  qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible
  to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a
  shared qdisc has been attached.

- Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared
  qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete.

This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc
from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first
(non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The
following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used
as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

de6d5cdf88 net_sched: make cls_ops->change and cls_ops->delete optional
Some schedulers don't support creating, changing or deleting classes.
Make the respective callbacks optionally and consistently return
-EOPNOTSUPP for unsupported operations, instead of currently either

In case of sch_prio and sch_multiq, the removed operations additionally
checked for an invalid class. This is not necessary since the class
argument can only orginate from ->get() or in case of ->change is 0
for creation of new classes, in which case ->change() incorrectly
returned -ENOENT.

As a side-effect, this patch fixes a possible (root-only) NULL pointer
function call in sch_ingress, which didn't implement a so far mandatory

723884339f sctp: Sysctl configuration for IPv4 Address Scoping
This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping
configurable <draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00.txt>.

In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting
chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses,
SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the
kernel due to address scope match failure.
For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with
different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's,
and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local
IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping
draft is strictly followed.

This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such
unconventional networking environments.

Sysctl options:
0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether
1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior)
2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack
3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack

4d3c46e683 sctp: drop a_rwnd to 0 when receive buffer overflows.
SCTP has a problem that when small chunks are used, it is possible
to exhaust the receiver buffer without fully closing receive window.
This happens due to all overhead that we have account for with small
messages.  To fix this, when receive buffer is exceeded, we'll drop
the window to 0 and save the 'drop' portion.  When application starts
reading data and freeing up recevie buffer space, we'll wait until
we've reached the 'drop' window and then add back this 'drop' one
mtu at a time.  This worked well in testing and under stress produced
rather even recovery.

b9f8478682 sctp: Fix error count increments that were results of HEARTBEATS
SCTP RFC 4960 states that unacknowledged HEARTBEATS count as
errors agains a given transport or endpoint.  As such, we
should increment the error counts for only for unacknowledged
HB, otherwise we detect failure too soon.  This goes for both
the overall error count and the path error count.

Now, there is a difference in how the detection is done
between the two.  The path error detection is done after
the increment, so to detect it properly, we actually need
to exceed the path threshold.  The overall error detection
is done _BEFORE_ the increment.  Thus to detect the failure,
it's enough for the error count to match the threshold.
This is why all the state functions use '>=' to detect failure,
while path detection uses '>'.

Thanks goes to Chunbo Luo <chunbo.luo@windriver.com> who first
proposed patches to fix this issue and made me re-read the spec
and the code to figure out how this cruft really works.

9c5c62be2f sctp: Send user messages to the lower layer as one
Currenlty, sctp breaks up user messages into fragments and
sends each fragment to the lower layer by itself.  This means
that for each fragment we go all the way down the stack
and back up.  This also discourages bundling of multiple
fragments when they can fit into a sigle packet (ex: due
to user setting a low fragmentation threashold).

We introduce a new command SCTP_CMD_SND_MSG and hand the
whole message down state machine.  The state machine and
the side-effect parser will cork the queue, add all chunks
from the message to the queue, and then un-cork the queue
thus causing the chunks to get transmitted.

5d7ff261ef sctp: Try to encourage SACK bundling with DATA.
If the association has a SACK timer pending and now DATA queued
to be send, we'll try to bundle the SACK with the next application send.
As such, try encourage bundling by accounting for SACK in the size
of the first chunk fragment.

e83963b769 sctp: Generate SACKs when actually sending outbound DATA
We are now trying to bundle SACKs when we have outbound
DATA to send.  However, there are situations where this
outbound DATA will not be sent (due to congestion or 
available window).  In such cases it's ok to wait for the
timer to expire.  This patch refactors the sending code
so that betfore attempting to bundle the SACK we check
to see if the DATA will actually be transmitted.

Based on eirlier works for Doug Graham <dgraham@nortel.com> and
Wei Youngjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com>.

3e62abf92f sctp: Fix data segmentation with small frag_size
Since an application may specify the maximum SCTP fragment size
that all data should be fragmented to, we need to fix how
we do segmentation.   Right now, if a user specifies a small
fragment size, the segment size can go negative in the presence
of AUTH or COOKIE_ECHO bundling.

What we need to do is track the largest possbile DATA chunk that
can fit into the mtu.  Then if the fragment size specified is
bigger then this maximum length, we'll shrink it down.  Otherwise,
we just use the smaller segment size without changing it further.
