If the DesignWare MAC is synthesised with MMC RX IPC Counter, an unmanaged

While enslaving a new device and after IFF_BONDING flag is set, in case
of failure it is not stripped from the device's priv_flags while
cleaning up, which could lead to other problems.
Cleaning at err_close because the flag is set after dev_open().

In commit 471cb5a33d ("bonding: remove
usage of dev->master") a bug was introduced which causes a NULL pointer
dereference. If a bond device is in mode 6 (ALB) and a slave is added
it will dereference a NULL pointer in bond_slave_netdev_event().
This is because in bond_enslave we have bond_alb_init_slave() which
changes the MAC address of the slave and causes a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR.
Then we have in bond_slave_netdev_event():
struct slave *slave = bond_slave_get_rtnl(slave_dev);
struct bonding *bond = slave->bond;
bond_slave_get_rtnl() dereferences slave_dev->rx_handler_data which at
that time is NULL since netdev_rx_handler_register() is called later.
This is fixed by checking if slave is NULL before dereferencing it.
v2: Comment style changed.

There is a bug in cookie_v4_check (net/ipv4/syncookies.c):
flowi4_init_output(&fl4, 0, sk->sk_mark, RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk),
RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE, IPPROTO_TCP,
inet_sk_flowi_flags(sk),
(opt && opt->srr) ? opt->faddr : ireq->rmt_addr,
ireq->loc_addr, th->source, th->dest);
Here we do not respect sk->sk_bound_dev_if, therefore wrong dst_entry may be
taken. This dst_entry is used by new socket (get_cookie_sock ->
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock), so its packets may take the wrong path.

The link change is detected via the interrupt pipe, and bulk
pipes are responsible for transfering packets, so it is reasonable
to stop bulk transfer after link is reported as off.
Two adavantages may be obtained with stopping bulk transfer
after link becomes off:
- USB bus bandwidth is saved(USB bus is shared bus except for
USB3.0), for example, lots of 'IN' token packets and 'NYET'
handshake packets is transfered on 2.0 bus.
- probabaly power might be saved for usb host controller since
cancelling bulk transfer may disable the asynchronous schedule of
host controller.
With this patch, when link becomes off, about ~10% performance
boost can be found on bulk transfer of anther usb device which
is attached to same bus with the usbnet device, see below
test on next-20130410:
- read from usb mass storage(Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0) on pandaboard
with below command after unplugging ethernet cable:
dd if=/dev/sda iflag=direct of=/dev/null bs=1M count=800

Commit 523f0e5421 ("KVM: PPC: E500:
Explicitly mark shadow maps invalid") began using E500_TLB_VALID
for guest TLB1 entries, and skipping invalidations if it's not set.
However, when E500_TLB_VALID was set for such entries, it was on a
fake local ref, and so the invalidations never happen. gtlb_privs
is documented as being only for guest TLB0, though we already violate
that with E500_TLB_BITMAP.
Now that we have MMU notifiers, and thus don't need to actually
retain a reference to the mapped pages, get rid of tlb_refs, and
use gtlb_privs for E500_TLB_VALID in TLB1.
Since we can have more than one host TLB entry for a given tlbe_ref,
be careful not to clear existing flags that are relevant to other
host TLB entries when preparing a new host TLB entry.

Commit:
a8aed3e075 ("x86/mm/pageattr: Prevent PSE and GLOABL leftovers to confuse pmd/pte_present and pmd_huge")
introduced a valid fix but one location that didn't trigger the bug that
lead to finding those (small) problems, wasn't updated using the
right variable.
The wrong variable was also initialized for no good reason, that
may have been the source of the confusion. Remove the noop
initialization accordingly.
Commit a8aed3e075 also erroneously removed one canon_pgprot pass meant
to clear pmd bitflags not supported in hardware by older CPUs, that
automatically gets corrected by this patch too by applying it to the right
variable in the new location.

Please accept this pull request for the 3.10 stream...
Regarding the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"Here I have a bunch of minstrel fixes from Felix, per-interface
multicast filtering from Alex, set_tim debouncing from Ilan,
per-interface debugfs cleanups from Stanislaw, an error return fix from
Wei and a number of small improvements and fixes that I made myself."
And for the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:
"Andrei changed an instance of kmalloc+memdup to kmemdup, Stanislaw
removed the now unused 5ghz_disable module parameter. I also have a
number of fixes from Ilan, Emmanuel and myself, Emmanuel also continued
working on Bluetooth coexistence."
For the sizeable batch of Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"This is our first batch of patches for 3.10. The biggest changes of this pull
request are from Johan Hedberg, he implemented a HCI request framework to make
life easier when we have to send many HCI commands and a block and wait for
all of the to finish, we were able to fix a few issues in stack with the
introduction of this framework.
Other than that Dean Jenkins did a good work cleaning the RFCOMM code, the
refcnt infrastructure was removed and now we use NULL pointer checks to know
when a object was freed or not. That code was buggy and now it looks a way
better.
The rest of changes are clean ups, fixes and small improvements all over the
Bluetooth subsystem."
Regarding the wl12xx bits, Luca says:
"Some patches intended for 3.10. Mostly bug fixes and other small
improvements."
On top of that, there are updates to brcmfmac, brcmsmac, b43, ssb and
bcma, as well as mwifiex, rt2x00, and ath9k and a few others. The most
notable bit is the addition of a new driver in the rtlwifi family.

If authentication (or association with FT) is requested by
userspace, mac80211 currently doesn't tell cfg80211 that it
disconnected from the AP. That leaves inconsistent state:
cfg80211 thinks it's connected while mac80211 thinks it's
not. Typically this won't last long, as soon as mac80211
reports the new association to cfg80211 the old one goes
away. If, however, the new authentication or association
doesn't succeed, then cfg80211 will forever think the old
one still exists and will refuse attempts to authenticate
or associate with the AP it thinks it's connected to.
Anders reported that this leads to it taking a very long
time to reconnect to a network, or never even succeeding.
I tested this with an AP hacked to never respond to auth
frames, and one that works, and with just those two the
system never recovers because one won't work and cfg80211
thinks it's connected to the other so refuses connections
to it.
To fix this, simply make mac80211 tell cfg80211 when it is
no longer connected to the old AP, while authenticating or
associating to a new one.

The cnic module is responsible for initializing various bnx2x structs
via callbacks provided by the bnx2x module.
One such struct is the queue object for the FCoE queue.
If a device is working in AFEX mode and its configuration allows FCoE yet
the cnic module is not loaded, it's very likely a null pointer dereference
will occur, as the bnx2x will erroneously access the FCoE's queue object.
Prevent said access until cnic properly registers itself.

Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to
preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact.
Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away
arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such
environment.
[ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU
updates" may cause a minor performance regression on
bare metal. This patch resolves that performance regression. It is
somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ]
