Based on GFP flag given to DMA coherent allocation, the behaviour of
dma_free_coherent is changed. This behavioural diffrence is noticeable
in ARM platform. If DMA memory is allocated with GFP_KERNEL, free
coherent can not be called inside spin lock. This is causing kernel
crash in ARM platforms. Fix this by changing GFP flag to atomic.
This is most likely a regression from commit 64badcb6d6 ("ath10k: workaround
fw beaconing bug").

pull request: wireless-next 2014-10-09
Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.18 stream!
Andrea Merello makes rtl818x_pci use a more reasonable transmission
rate for HW generated frames.
Fabian Frederick tweaks some kernel-doc bits to avoid warnings.
Larry Finger corrects a possible unaligned access in the rtlwifi code.
Marek Puzyniak avoids a kernel panic in ath9k_hw_reset.
Sujith Manoharan goes for the hat trick -- he fixes a smatch warning
in the shared ath code, he fixes a crash in ath9k, and he corrects
a sequence number assignment problem in ath9k too.
For ease of merging, I pulled the last bits of the wireless tree as well...
Please let me know if there are problems!

Add support for new attribute HWSIM_ATTR_DESTROY_RADIO_ON_CLOSE
which can be set by the user space component. The attribute
will cause the kernel to destroy all those radios that were
created by a process if that process dies. The old behaviour
i.e., radios are persistent is still the default.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Most notable changes in here:
1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.
Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.
skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.
There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.
Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.
Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_net
Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.
I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.
2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.
3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From
Govindarajulu Varadarajan.
4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.
5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
Dumazet.
6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom

7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
Fainelli.
8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.
9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John
Fastabend.
10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
Duyck.
11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
Dumazet.

Currently, ath9k uses a global counter for all
frames that need to be assigned a sequence number.
QoS-data frames are handled properly since they
have a per-tid counter. But, beacons and other
management frames use the same counter even if
multiple interfaces or contexts are present.
Fix this issue by making the counter per-interface
and using it when mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ.

Currently the allowed "respose rate" set (rates for HW generated frames
like ACKs) is the same as the basic rate set.
The HW will use the higher allowed response rate that is lower than the
rate of the received frame.
This is more or less what IEEE80211 mandates, but I missed the fact
that IEEE80211 also says that whenever it happens that for a modulation
class there is no any rate in the basic rates set, then the response rate
set shall include also all the mandatory rates for that modulation class.
This patch adds mandatory OFDM rates to the allowed response rate set if
no OFDM rate is included in the basic rate set.
Depending by the AP, I faced cases in which this patch seems to cause a
noticeable perfomance improvement.
- With my usual test AP there is no particular perfomance difference.
- With a prism54/hostapd AP this patch causes RX thoughput increase from
about 5Mbps to about 20Mbps.
Hopefully this patch may help people that faced performance regression wrt
the old staging driver.

RRM, TPC, Quiet Period etc... Eyal keeps improving our rate control
and we have a new device ID. This last patch should probably have

For (most of) the Atheros bits, Kalle says:
"The only new feature is testmode support from me. Ben added a new method
to crash the firmware with an assert for debug purposes. As usual, we
have lots of smaller fixes from Michal. Matteo fixed a Kconfig
dependency with debugfs. I fixed some warnings recently added to
checkpatch."
For the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"We've had major updates for TI and ST Microelectronics drivers, and a
few NCI related changes.
For TI's trf7970a driver:
- Target mode support for trf7970a
- Suspend/resume support for trf7970a
- DT properties additions to handle different quirks
- A bunch of fixes for smartphone IOP related issues
For ST Microelectronics' ST21NFCA and ST21NFCB drivers:
- ISO15693 support for st21nfcb
- checkpatch and sparse related warning fixes
- Code cleanups and a few minor fixes
Finally, Marvell added ISO15693 support to the NCI stack, together with a
couple of NCI fixes."
For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says:
"This 3.18 pull request replaces the one I did on Monday ("bluetooth-next
2014-09-22", which hasn't been pulled yet). The additions since the last
request are:
- SCO connection fix for devices not supporting eSCO
- Cleanups regarding the SCO establishment logic
- Remove unnecessary return value from logging functions
- Header compression fix for 6lowpan
- Cleanups to the ieee802154/mrf24j40 driver
Here's a copy from previous request that this one replaces:
'
Here are some more patches for 3.18. They include various fixes to the
btusb HCI driver, a fix for LE SMP, as well as adding Jukka to the
MAINTAINERS file for generic 6LoWPAN (as requested by Alexander Aring).
I've held on to this pull request a bit since we were waiting for a SCO
related fix to get sorted out first. However, since the merge window is
getting closer I decided not to wait for it. If we do get the fix sorted
out there'll probably be a second small pull request later this week.
'"
And,
"Unless 3.17 gets delayed this will probably be our last -next pull request for
3.18. We've got:
- New Marvell hardware supportr
- Multicast support for 6lowpan
- Several of 6lowpan fixes & cleanups
- Fix for a (false-positive) lockdep warning in L2CAP
- Minor btusb cleanup"
On top of all that comes the usual sort of updates to ath5k, ath9k,
ath10k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, and wil6210. This time around there are
also a number of rtlwifi updates to enable some new hardware and
to reconcile the in-kernel drivers with some newer releases of the
Realtek vendor drivers. Also of note is some device tree work for
the bcma bus.

When a full chip reset is done, all the queues
across all VIFs are stopped, but if MCC is enabled,
only the queues of the current context is awakened,
when we complete the reset.
This results in unfairness for the inactive context.
Since frames are queued internally in the driver if
there is a context mismatch, we can awaken all the
queues when coming out of a reset.
The VIF-specific queues are still used in flow control,
to ensure fairness when traffic is high.
