Currently, get_wireless_stats is racy by _design_. This is
because it returns a buffer, which needs to be statically
allocated since it cannot be freed if it was allocated
dynamically. Also, SIOCGIWSTATS and /proc/net/wireless use
no common lock, and /proc/net/wireless accesses are not
synchronised against each other. This is a design flaw in
get_wireless_stats since the beginning.
This patch fixes it by wrapping /proc/net/wireless accesses
with the RTNL so they are protected against each other and
SIOCGIWSTATS. The more correct method of fixing this would
be to pass in the buffer instead of returning it and have
the caller take care of synchronisation of the buffer, but
even then most drivers probably assume that their callback
is protected by the RTNL like all other wext callbacks.

When we disassociate, we set the channel to non-HT which
obviously invalidates any ht_operation_mode setting. But
when we then associate with the next AP again, we might
still have the ht_operation_mode from the previous AP
cached and fail to configure the hardware with the new
(but unchanged) operation mode. This patch fixes it by
separately tracking whether our cache is valid.

The call to ieee80211_hw_config() is supposed to apply changes
synchronously, so once it returns the parameters are applied to
the hardware. Thus, there really is no need to delay the probing
by the channel switch time again since the channel switch has
already happened once we get to this code.
Additionally, there is no need to wait for a NAV update (probe
delay) when the channel is passively scanned. Remove that extra
time too.
This cuts scanning time from over 7 seconds to under 4 on ar9170,
which is due to the number of channels scanned and ar9170's switch
time being advertised as 135ms (my test now indicates it is about
77ms with the current driver, but the difference might also be due
to using a different machine with different USB controllers).

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, unprotected
Robust Action frames are not allowed prior to key configuration.
However, unprotected Deauthentication and Disassociation frames are
allowed at that point, but not after key configuration.
Make ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() handle the special cases for MFP by
separating the basic Data frame case from Management frame processing
and handle the Management frames only if MFP has been negotiated. In
addition, do not use sdata->drop_unencrypted for Management frames
since the decision on whether to accept the frame depends on the key
being configured.

When using nl80211, we do not have a mechanism to set
sdata->drop_unencrypted. Currently, this breaks code that is supposed
to drop unencrypted frames when protection is expected since
ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt() is optimized to not set rx->key when the
frame is not protected.
This patch modifies ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt() to set rx->key for all
frames and only skip decryption if the frame is not protected. This
allows ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() to correctly drop frames even if
drop_unencrypted is not set.
The changes here are not enough to handle all cases, though. Additional
patches will be needed to implement proper IEEE 802.1X PAE for station
mode (currently, this is only used for AP mode) and some additional
rules are needed for MFP to drop unprotected Robust Action frames prior
to having PTK and IGTK configured.
In theory, the unprotected frames could and should be dropped in
ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt(). However, due to the special case with EAPOL
frames that have to be allowed to be received unprotected even when
keys are set, it is simpler to only set rx->key and allow the
ieee80211_frame_allowed() function to handle the actual dropping of
data frames after 802.11->802.3 header conversion. In addition,
unprotected robust management frames are dropped before they are
processed.

The function to parse a struct iw_freq has a stupid bug,
it returns NULL when the channel cannot be found at all,
but NULL is supposed to mean "auto". Fix this by checking
the return value of ieee80211_get_channel() and returning
ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) if it returned NULL (channel not found).
This fixes an issue where you could say (in IBSS mode)
iwconfig wlan0 channel 21
and it would use channel 1 instead because that's the
first available channel with IBSS allowed (which is what
the "auto" setting uses).

We've never really cared about the default QoS (WMM) values, but
we really should if the AP doesn't send any. This patch makes
mac80211 use the default values according to 802.11-2007, and
additionally syncs the default values when we disassociate so
whatever the last AP said gets "unconfigured".

When a software scan starts, it first sets sw_scanning, but
leaves the scan_channel "unset" (it currently actually gets
initialised to a default). Now, when something else tries
to (re)configure the hardware in the window between these two
events (after sw_scanning = true, but before scan_channel is
set), the current code switches to the (unset!) scan_channel.
This causes trouble, especially when switching bands and
sending frames on the wrong channel.
To work around this, leave scan_channel initialised to NULL
and use it to determine whether or not a switch to a different
channel should occur (and also use the same condition to check
whether to adjust power for scan or not).
Additionally, avoid reconfiguring the hardware completely when
recalculating idle resulted in no changes, this was the problem
that originally led us to discover the race condition in the
first place, which was helpfully bisected by Pavel. This part
of the patch should not be necessary with the other fixes, but
not calling the ieee80211_hw_config function when we know it to
be unnecessary is certainly a correct thing to do.
Unfortunately, this patch cannot and does not fix the race
condition completely, but due to the way the scan code is
structured it makes the particular problem Pavel discovered
(race while changing channel at the same time as transmitting
frames) go away. To fix it completely, more work especially
with locking configuration is needed.

NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE request must be able to indicate whether
management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is being used. mac80211 was
able to use MFP in client mode only with WEXT, but the new
NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute will allow this to be done with
nl80211, too.
Since we are currently using nl80211 for MFP only with drivers that
use user space SME, only MFP disabled and required values are
used. However, the NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute is an enum that can
be extended with MFP optional in the future, if that is needed with
some drivers (e.g., if the RSN IE is generated by the driver).

A remote device in security mode 3 that tries to connect will require
the pairing during the connection setup phase. The disconnect timeout
is now triggered within 10 milliseconds and causes the pairing to fail.
If a connection is not fully established and a PIN code request is
received, don't trigger the disconnect timeout. The either successful
or failing connection complete event will make sure that the timeout
is triggered at the right time.
The biggest problem with security mode 3 is that many Bluetooth 2.0
device and before use a temporary security mode 3 for dedicated
bonding.

The connection setup phase takes around 2 seconds or longer and in
that time it is possible that the need for an ACL connection is no
longer present. If that happens then, the connection attempt will
be canceled.
This only applies to outgoing connections, but currently it can also
be triggered by incoming connection. Don't call hci_acl_connect_cancel()
on incoming connection since these have to be either accepted or rejected
in this state. Once they are successfully connected they need to be
fully disconnected anyway.
Also remove the wrong hci_acl_disconn() call for SCO and eSCO links
since at this stage they can't be disconnected either, because the
connection handle is still unknown.

The module refcount is increased by hci_dev_hold() call in hci_conn_add()
and decreased by hci_dev_put() call in del_conn(). In case the connection
setup fails, hci_dev_put() is never called.
Procedure to reproduce the issue:
# hciconfig hci0 up
# lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1
# hcitool cc <non-exisiting bdaddr> -> will get timeout
# lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 2
# hciconfig hci0 down
# lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1
# rmmod btusb -> ERROR: Module btusb is in use
The hci_dev_put() call got moved into del_conn() with the 2.6.25 kernel
to fix an issue with hci_dev going away before hci_conn. However that
change was wrong and introduced this problem.
When calling hci_conn_del() it has to call hci_dev_put() after freeing
the connection details. This handling should be fully symmetric. The
execution of del_conn() is done in a work queue and needs it own calls
to hci_dev_hold() and hci_dev_put() to ensure that the hci_dev stays
until the connection cleanup has been finished.

This fixes the use of fwmarks to denote IPv4 virtual services
which was unfortunately broken as a result of the integration
of IPv6 support into IPVS, which was included in 2.6.28.
The problem arises because fwmarks are stored in the 4th octet
of a union nf_inet_addr .all, however in the case of IPv4 only
the first octet, corresponding to .ip, is assigned and compared.
In other words, using .all = { 0, 0, 0, htonl(svc->fwmark) always
results in a value of 0 (32bits) being stored for IPv4. This means
that one fwmark can be used, as it ends up being mapped to 0, but things
break down when multiple fwmarks are used, as they all end up being mapped
to 0.
As fwmarks are 32bits a reasonable fix seems to be to just store the fwmark
in .ip, and comparing and storing .ip when fwmarks are used.
This patch makes the assumption that in calls to ip_vs_ct_in_get()
and ip_vs_sched_persist() if the proto parameter is IPPROTO_IP then
we are dealing with an fwmark. I believe this is valid as ip_vs_in()
does fairly strict filtering on the protocol and IPPROTO_IP should
not be used in these calls unless explicitly passed when making
these calls for fwmarks in ip_vs_sched_persist().

When a new wimax_dev is created, it's state has to be __WIMAX_ST_NULL
until wimax_dev_add() is succesfully called. This allows calls into
the stack that happen before said time to be rejected.
Until now, the state was being set (by mistake) to UNINITIALIZED,
which was allowing calls such as wimax_report_rfkill_hw() to go
through even when a call to wimax_dev_add() had failed; that was
causing an oops when touching uninitialized data.
This situation is normal when the device starts reporting state before
the whole initialization has been completed. It just has to be dealt
with.

We are currently processing block ack reordering as a separate task

situation is not too bad. Add a comment here so that this small detail

This patch allows skbs to be released from the RX reorder buffer in
case they have been there for an unexpectedly long time without us
having received the missing frames before them. Previously, these
frames were only released when the reorder window moved and that could
take very long time unless new frames were received constantly (e.g.,
TCP connections could be killed more or less indefinitely).
This situation should not happen very frequently, but it looks like
there are some scenarious that trigger it for some reason. As such,
this should be considered mostly a workaround to speed up recovery
from unexpected siutation that could result in connections hanging for
long periods of time.
The changes here will only check for timeout situation when adding new
RX frames to the reorder buffer. It does not handle all possible
cases, but seems to help for most cases that could result from common
network usage (e.g., TCP retrying at least couple of times). For more
completely coverage, a timer could be used to periodically check
whether there are any frames remaining in the reorder buffer if no new
frames are received.
