David S. Miller b7058842c9 net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.
This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

Reinette Chatre b7a794048f iwlwifi: fix 3945 ucode info retrieval after failure
When hardware or uCode problem occurs driver captures significant
information from device to enable debugging. The format of this information
is different between 3945 and 4965 and later devices, yet currently the
3945 uses the 4965 and later format. Fix this by adding a new library call
that is initialized to the correct formatting routine based on device.

This moves the iwlagn event and error log handling back to iwl-agn.c to
make it part of iwlagn module.

Also remove the 3945 sysfs file that triggers dump of event log - there is
already a debugfs file that can do it for all drivers.

Reinette Chatre 2fac9717a0 iwlwifi: fix debugfs buffer handling
We keep track of where to write into a buffer by keeping a count of how
much has been written so far. When writing to the buffer we thus take the
buffer pointer and adding the count of what has been written so far.
Keeping track of what has been written so far is done by incrementing
this number every time something is written to the buffer with how much has
been written at that time.

Currently this number is incremented incorrectly when using the
"hex_dump_to_buffer" call to add data to the buffer. Fix this by only
adding what has been added to the buffer in that call instead of what has
been added since beginning of buffer.

Issue was discovered and discussed during testing of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464598 .

  [c7975d60] [c017e584] pci_legacy_suspend+0x58/0x100

This is because the driver manages interrupts without checking for
netif_running().

Though, there are few other issues with suspend/resume in this driver.
The intention of calling free_irq() in suspend() was to avoid any
possible spurious interrupts (see commit 5b039e681b
"3c59x PM fixes"). But,

- On resume, the driver was requesting IRQ just after pci_set_master(),
  but before vortex_up() (which actually resets 3c59x chips).

- Issuing free_irq() on a shared IRQ doesn't guarantee that a buggy
  HW won't trigger spurious interrupts in another driver that
  requested the same interrupt. So, if we want to protect from
  unexpected interrupts, then on suspend we should issue disable_irq(),
  not free_irq().

Alexey Dobriyan 8d65af789f sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler
It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

Rusty Russell 48925e372f virtio_net: avoid (most) NETDEV_TX_BUSY by stopping queue early.
Now we can tell the theoretical capacity remaining in the output
queue, virtio_net can waste entries by stopping the queue early.

It doesn't work in the case of indirect buffers and kmalloc failure,
but that's rare (we could drop the packet in that case, but other
drivers return TX_BUSY for similar reasons).

For the record, I think this patch reflects poorly on the linux
network API.

Rusty Russell b0c39dbdc2 virtio_net: don't free buffers in xmit ring
The virtio_net driver is complicated by the two methods of freeing old
xmit buffers (in addition to freeing old ones at the start of the xmit
path).

The original code used a 1/10 second timer attached to xmit_free(),
reset on every xmit.  Before we orphaned skbs on xmit, the
transmitting userspace could block with a full socket until the timer
fired, the skb destructor was called, and they were re-woken.

So we added the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY feature: supporting devices
send an interrupt (even if normally suppressed) on an empty xmit ring
which makes us schedule xmit_tasklet().  This was a benchmark win.

Unfortunately, VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY makes quite a lot of work: a
host which is faster than the guest will fire the interrupt every xmit
packet (slowing the guest down further).  Attempting mitigation in the
host adds overhead of userspace timers (possibly with the additional
pain of signals), and risks increasing latency anyway if you get it
wrong.

In practice, this effect was masked by benchmarks which take advantage
of GSO (with its inherent transmit batching), but it's still there.

Now we orphan xmitted skbs, the pressure is off: remove both paths and
no longer request VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY.  Note that the current
QEMU will notify us even if we don't negotiate this feature (legal,
but suboptimal); a patch is outstanding to improve that.

Move the skb_orphan/nf_reset to after we've done the send and notified
the other end, for a slight optimization.

Rusty Russell 8958f574db virtio_net: return NETDEV_TX_BUSY instead of queueing an extra skb.
This effectively reverts 99ffc696d1
"virtio: wean net driver off NETDEV_TX_BUSY".

The complexity of queuing an skb (setting a tasklet to re-xmit) is
questionable, especially once we get rid of the other reason for the
tasklet in the next patch.

If the skb won't fit in the tx queue, just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY.
This is frowned upon, so a followup patch uses a more complex solution.

Rusty Russell 2b5bbe3b8b virtio_net: skb_orphan() and nf_reset() in xmit path.
The complex transmit free logic was introduced to avoid hangs on
removing the ip_conntrack module and also because drivers aren't
generally supposed to keep stale skbs for unbounded times.

After some debate, it was decided that while doing skb_orphan()
generally is a rat's nest, we can do it in this driver.  Following
patches take advantage of this.

Sujith e31f7b96f0 ath9k: Fix RFKILL bugs
This patch fixes 2 issues in RFKILL:

* Calling wiphy_rfkill_stop_polling() in ath9k_stop
  would mean that the driver cannot report HW status
  when the radio is re-enabled. Move this to ath_detach().

* Calling ath_radio_{enable/disable} without checking the current
  state results in ath_radio_enable() being called repeatedly
  for every invocation of rfkill_poll(). This is not needed
  in any case since wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() would call
  ->stop() if the radio has been disabled.
