1dd6b20e36 ACPI, APEI, HEST Fix the unsuitable usage of platform_data
platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry
information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data
will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data
should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic.

So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory
which saves entry information of erst_tab.

This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree.

v2:
    Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using
    platform_device_add_data()

3a78f96532 ACPI, APEI, Fix APEI related table size checking
On Huang Ying's machine:

erst_tab->header_length == sizeof(struct acpi_table_einj)

but Yinghai reported that on his machine,

erst_tab->header_length == sizeof(struct acpi_table_einj) -
sizeof(struct acpi_table_header)

To make erst table size checking code works on all systems, both
testing are treated as PASS.

Same situation applies to einj_tab->header_length, so corresponding
table size checking is changed in similar way too.

v2:

- Treat both table size as valid

80168676eb xfs: force background CIL push under sustained load
I have been seeing occasional pauses in transaction throughput up to
30s long under heavy parallel workloads. The only notable thing was
that the xfsaild was trying to be active during the pauses, but
making no progress. It was running exactly 20 times a second (on the
50ms no-progress backoff), and the number of pushbuf events was
constant across this time as well.  IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be
stuck on buffers that it could not push out.

Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode
buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting
woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out
delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress
because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan-
and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds,
before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then
things started going again.

However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there
were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be
exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very
interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log.
He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25%
of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what
really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only
8MB?

Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred
since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space.
That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't
log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail.
However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were
buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush
them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the
xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL
first committing.

The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which
should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is
being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The
background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there
is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read
mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there
was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background
push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt
would occur.

It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25%
of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could
definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half
the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system
crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why
delayed logging was tagged as experimental....

The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold
has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the
amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the
AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely.

ab79ad14a2 ipv6: Implement Any-IP support for IPv6.
AnyIP is the capability to receive packets and establish incoming
connections on IPs we have not explicitly configured on the machine.

An example use case is to configure a machine to accept all incoming
traffic on eth0, and leave the policy of whether traffic for a given IP
should be delivered to the machine up to the load balancer.

Can be setup as follows:
  ip -6 rule from all iif eth0 lookup 200
  ip -6 route add local default dev lo table 200
(in this case for all IPv6 addresses)

4465b46900 ipv4: Allow configuring subnets as local addresses
This patch allows a host to be configured to respond to any address in
a specified range as if it were local, without actually needing to
configure the address on an interface.  This is done through routing
table configuration.  For instance, to configure a host to respond
to any address in 10.1/16 received on eth0 as a local address we can do:

ip rule add from all iif eth0 lookup 200
ip route add local 10.1/16 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 table 200

This host is now reachable by any 10.1/16 address (route lookup on
input for packets received on eth0 can find the route).  On output, the
rule will not be matched so that this host can still send packets to
10.1/16 (not sent on loopback).  Presumably, external routing can be
configured to make sense out of this.

To make this work, we needed to modify the logic in finding the
interface which is assigned a given source address for output
(dev_ip_find).  We perform a normal fib_lookup instead of just a
lookup on the local table, and in the lookup we ignore the input
interface for matching.

This patch is useful to implement IP-anycast for subnets of virtual
addresses.

6d6a1afdc5 iwlwifi: send DC calib config to runtime ucode
Since uCode is responsible for doing DC calibration, there's no need
to let init uCode to do initial DC calibration then send results
back to driver, then driver sends the results to runtime uCode.
Driver can simply tell runtime uCode to do DC calibration.

Actually, this patch does not disable DC calib for init uCode. It just
prevent driver from saving and sending the DC calib results (from init
ucode) to runtime uCode. The driver still uses 0xffffffff in

6b5ce50142 iwlwifi: add iwl_nic_ops structure to iwl_ops
iwlwifi driver supports multiple devices. Since some device needs
special configuration we create a new iwl_nic_ops structure which is
configurable per device. Currently there is only one function pointer
inside this structure: additional_nic_config().

The iwl_nic_ops structure is added to the top level in struct iwl_ops,
making it easier to change per device. Duplication of the iwl_lib_ops
structure is no longer needed.

With this new ops the previous function pointer set_calib_version is
no longer needed since it is just a per device nic configuration.

As part of the code restructuring, a bug is addressed. Indication of
calib version to uCode is only needed for 6050 devices, however,
current implementation set calib version for all 6000 devices for
which DC calib is needed. To fix this, create iwl6050_ops for 6050
devices and only populate iwl_nic_ops in this structure.

f2176d7240 mac80211: Fix WMM driver queue configuration
The WMM parameter configuration function (ieee80211_sta_wmm_params) only
configures the WMM parameters to the driver is the wmm_last_param_set
counter value is changed by the AP.

The wmm_last_param_set is initialized to -1 on association in order to ensure
the configuration is made to the driver at least once on association, but
currently this initialization is done *after* the WMM parameter configuration
function was called.

This leads to unreliability in the driver getting properly configured on first
association (depending on what counter value the AP happens to use.) When
disassociating (the wmm default parameters are configured to the driver) and
then reassociating, due to the above the WMM configuration is not set to the
driver at all.

On drivers without beacon filtering the problem is corrected by later beacons,
but on drivers with beacon filtering the WMM will remain permanently incorrectly
configured.

Fix this by moving the initialization of wmm_last_param_set to -1 before
ieee80211_sta_wmm_params is called on association.

28df897a42 ath5k: Disable interrupts in ath5k_hw_get_tsf64
The code in ath5k_hw_get_tsf64() is time critical and will return wrong results
if we get interrupted, so disable local interrupts.

11f21df36c ath5k: Increase "fudge" for beacon timers
We use FUDGE to make sure the next TBTT is ahead of the current TU.
Since we later substract AR5K_TUNE_SW_BEACON_RESP (10) in the timer
configuration we need to make sure it is bigger than that.

7f89612601 ath5k: Check and fix ATIM window
This patch adds sanity-checks for the beacon timers and especially the ATIM
window to ath5k. It is basically the same what i did for madwifi two years ago
and fixes a problem in IBSS mode which has been described as "ramping" pings.

See the code comments for a more detailed description and these links:

4a79f2c517 ath5k: Remove unused variable for atim window
It's not used and it's unlikely we will ever implement ATIM.

4bd437ea40 carl9170: revamp carl9170_tx_prepare
David Miller complained about the driver's excessive use
of variables in __packed structs. While I did not fully
agree with his sole "performance" argument on all accounts.
I do see some room for improvement in hot-paths on
architectures without an efficient access to unaligned
elements.

This first patch (dare I say?) optimizes an important tx
hot-path in the driver: carl9170_tx_prepare.

9c655c8be9 carl9170: fix WARN_ON triggered by Broadcom HT STAs
Broadcom's Windows driver for the 4313 advertises
an ampdu density of 7 => 16 us. The AR9170 MAC on
the other hand only supports densities up to 8 us.

This patch removes the noisy WARN_ON, because
there is nothing we can do about it.
