6b69fe0c73 netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix endless loop
When a conntrack entry is destroyed in process context and destruction
is interrupted by packet processing and the packet is an attempt to
reopen a closed connection, TCP conntrack tries to kill the old entry
itself and returns NF_REPEAT to pass the packet through the hook
again. This may lead to an endless loop: TCP conntrack repeatedly
finds the old entry, but can not kill it itself since destruction
is already in progress, but destruction in process context can not
complete since TCP conntrack is keeping the CPU busy.

Drop the packet in TCP conntrack if we can't kill the connection
ourselves to avoid this.

1f90916264 rt2x00: Disable synchronization during initialization
As soon as init_registers() was called, the rt2400/rt2500
would start raising beacondone interrupts. Since this is highly
premature since no beacons were provided yet, we should
initialize the synchronization register to 0.

This will make all drivers initialize it to 0 regardless
if they are raising beacondone interrupts or not, since it only
makes sense to have it completely disabled.

adeed48090 rc80211_pid: Fix fast_start parameter handling
This removes the fast_start parameter from the rc_pid parameters
information and instead uses the parameter macro when initializing
the rc_pid state. Since the parameter is only used on initialization,
there is no point of making exporting it via debugfs. This also fixes
uninitialized memory references to the fast_start and norm_offset
parameters detected by the kmemcheck utility.  Thanks to Vegard Nossum

bb949fbd18 netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction.
A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc.

Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely
contains a backpointer to the net_device.

The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well.

Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the
resulting hierarchy:

	net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc

Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue
pointer argument.

11a100f844 vlan: avoid header copying and linearisation where possible
- vlan_dev_reorder_header() is only called on the receive path after
  calling skb_share_check(). This means we can use skb_cow() since
  all we need is a writable header.

- vlan_dev_hard_header() includes a work-around for some apparently
  broken out of tree MPLS code. The hard_header functions can expect
  to always have a headroom of at least there own hard_header_len
  available, so the reallocation check is unnecessary.

- __vlan_put_tag() can use skb_cow_head() to avoid the skb_unshare()
  copy when the header is writable.

b223856640 ipv6: fix race between ipv6_del_addr and DAD timer
Consider the following scenario:

ipv6_del_addr(ifp)
  ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_DELADDR, ifp)
    ip6_del_rt(ifp->rt)

after returning from the ipv6_ifa_notify and enabling BH-s
back, but *before* calling the addrconf_del_timer the 
ifp->timer fires and:

addrconf_dad_timer(ifp)
  addrconf_dad_completed(ifp)
    ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_NEWADDR, ifp)
      ip6_ins_rt(ifp->rt)

then return back to the ipv6_del_addr and:

in6_ifa_put(ifp)
  inet6_ifa_finish_destroy(ifp)
    dst_release(&ifp->rt->u.dst)

After this we have an ifp->rt inserted into fib6 lists, but 
queued for gc, which in turn can result in oopses in the
fib6_run_gc. Maybe some other nasty things, but we caught 
only the oops in gc so far.

The solution is to disarm the ifp->timer before flushing the
rt from it.

b46372710a net/wireless/nl80211.c: fix endless Netlink callback loop.
Although I only tested similar code (I don't use any of this wireless
code), the state maintainance between Netlink dump callback invocations
seems wrong here and should lead to an endless loop. There are also other
examples in the same file which might have the same problem. Perhaps someone
can actually test this (or refute my logic).

Take the simple example with only one element in the list (which should fit
into the message):

1. invocation:
  Start:
    idx = 0, start = 0
  Loop:
    condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 0) => false
    => no continue, fill one entry, exit loop, return skb->len > 0

2. invocation:
  Start:
    idx = 0, start = 1
  Loop:
    condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 1) => false
    => no continue, fill the same entry again, exit loop, return skb->len > 0

3. invocation:
  Same as 2. invocation, endless invocation of callback.

Also, iterations where the filling of an element fails should not be counted as
completed, so idx should not be incremented in this case.

0e25b4ef22 rtl8187: Change detection of RTL8187B with USB ID of 8187
Some early versions of RTL8187B devices have a USB ID of 0x8187
rather than the 0x8189 of later models. In addition, it appears
that these early units also must be programmed with lower power.
Previous patches used the Product ID string to detect this situation,
but did not address the low power question. This patch uses the
hardware version and sets the power accordingly.
