Instead of having the getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE return an index, which will then require another call like if_indextoname() to get the actual interface name, have it return the name directly. This also matches the existing man page description on socket(7) which mentions the argument being an interface name. If the value has not been set, zero is returned and optlen will be set to zero to indicate there is no interface name present. Added a seqlock to protect this code path, and dev_ifname(), from someone changing the device name via dev_change_name(). v2: Added seqlock protection while copying device name. v3: Fixed word wrap in patch.

GMAC devices newer than databook 3.40 has an embedded timer that can be used for mitigating the number of interrupts. So this patch adds this optimizations. At any rate, the Rx watchdog can be disable (on bugged HW) by passing from the platform the riwt_off field. In this implementation the rx timer stored in the Reg9 is fixed to the max value. This will be tuned by using ethtool. V2: added a platform parameter to force to disable the rx-watchdog for example on new core where it is bugged. V3: do not disable NAPI when Rx watchdog is used. V4: a new extra statistic field has been added to show the early receive status in the interrupt handler. This patch also adds an extra check to avoid to call napi_schedule when the DMA_INTR_ENA_RIE bit is disabled in the Interrupt Mask register.

This patch adds a new schema used for mitigating the number of transmit interrupts. It is based on a SW timer and a threshold value. The timer is used to periodically call the stmmac_tx_clean function; the threshold is used for setting the IC (Interrupt on Completion bit). The ISR will then invoke the poll method. Also the patch improves some ethtool stat fields. V2: review the logic to manage the IC bit in the TDESC that was bugged because it didn't take care about the fragments. Also fix the tx_count_frames that has not to be limited to TX DMA ring. Thanks to Ben Hutchings. V3: removed the spin_lock irqsave/restore as D. Miller suggested.

There's really no excuse for an additional wmem_default of buffering between the netdev queue and the ATM device. Two packets (one in-flight, and one ready to send) ought to be fine. It's not as if it should take long to get another from the netdev queue when we need it. If necessary we can make the queue space configurable later, but I don't think it's likely to be necessary. cf. commit 9d02daf7 (pppoatm: Fix excessive queue bloat) which did something very similar for PPPoATM. Note that there is a tremendously unlikely race condition which may result in qspace temporarily going negative. If a CPU running the br2684_pop() function goes off into the weeds for a long period of time after incrementing qspace to 1, but before calling netdev_wake_queue()... and another CPU ends up calling br2684_start_xmit() and *stopping* the queue again before the first CPU comes back, the netdev queue could end up being woken when qspace has already reached zero. An alternative approach to coping with this race would be to check in br2684_start_xmit() for qspace==0 and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, but just using '> 0' and '< 1' for comparison instead of '== 0' and '!= 0' is simpler. It just warranted a mention of *why* we do it that way... Move the call to atmvcc->send() to happen *after* the accounting and potentially stopping the netdev queue, in br2684_xmit_vcc(). This matters if the ->send() call suffers an immediate failure, because it'll call br2684_pop() with the offending skb before returning. We want that to happen *after* we've done the initial accounting for the packet in question. Also make it return an appropriate success/failure indication while we're at it. Tested by running 'ping -l 1000 bottomless.aaisp.net.uk' from within my network, with only a single PPPoE-over-BR2684 link running. And after setting txqueuelen on the nas0 interface to something low (5, in fact). Before the patch, we'd see about 15 packets being queued and a resulting latency of ~56ms being reached. After the patch, we see only about 8, which is fairly much what we expect. And a max latency of ~36ms. On this OpenWRT box, wmem_default is 163840.

Commit 82167cb8 ('net: dsa/slave: Fix compilation warnings') fixed one possible invalid configuration (NET_DSA enabled with no trailer formats) but added others: drivers can select NET_DSA without its dependencies being met. It's not very useful to make either the DSA core or the tagging formats manually selectable without a driver to use them, so: 1. Define a hidden HAVE_NET_DSA option and move the dependencies of NET_DSA to that. While we're at it, drop the deprecated EXPERIMENTAL dependency. 2. Make NET_DSA and the drivers dependent on HAVE_NET_DSA. 3. Hide the tagging format options again. 4. Make drivers select both NET_DSA and the appropriate tagging format option.

Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT) using the control channel frequency (as before) and new attributes for the channel width and first and second center frequency. The old channel type is of course still supported for HT. Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct to support these by adding the relevant fields to it (and removing the _type field.) This also adds new helper functions: - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def struct given the control channel and channel type, - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel definitions are identical - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given channel definitions are compatible, and return the wider of the two This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's missing - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that even makes sense) - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it) - a proper channel compatibility calculation for the new channel types Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this will change. Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the new structure all the time, which will change.

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

If ieee80211_prep_channel() decides that HT should be disabled (because the HT IEs from the AP were invalid) it will set the IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_HT to not send HT capabilities to the AP when associating. If this happens during authentication, the flag will be lost and we send HT frames, even if the channel config was set up for non-HT. This can lead to issues. Fix this by always resetting the ifmgd flags to zero when the channel context is released so that the flag resetting in ieee80211_mgd_assoc() isn't necessary. To make the code a bit easier move the call to release the channel in ieee80211_set_disassoc() to the end of the function together with the flag resetting (which needs to be at the end to avoid timers setting flags.)
