278bc4296b ethtool: Define and apply a default policy for RX flow hash indirection
All drivers that support modification of the RX flow hash indirection
table initialise it in the same way: RX rings are assigned to table
entries in rotation.  Make that default policy explicit by having them
call a ethtool_rxfh_indir_default() function.

In the ethtool core, add support for a zero size value for
ETHTOOL_SRXFHINDIR, which resets the table to this default.

7850f63f16 ethtool: Centralise validation of ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFHINDIR parameters
Add a new ethtool operation (get_rxfh_indir_size) to get the
indirectional table size.  Use this to validate the user buffer size
before calling get_rxfh_indir or set_rxfh_indir.  Use get_rxnfc to get
the number of RX rings, and validate the contents of the new
indirection table before calling set_rxfh_indir.  Remove this
validation from drivers.

14596f7006 ethtool: Clarify use of size field for ETHTOOL_GRXFHINDIR
In order to find out the device's RX flow hash table size, ethtool
initially uses ETHTOOL_GRXFHINDIR with a buffer size of zero.  This
must be supported, but it is not necessary to support any other user
buffer size less than the device table size.

2aac7a2cb0 unix_diag: Pending connections IDs NLA
When establishing a unix connection on stream sockets the
server end receives an skb with socket in its receive queue.

Report who is waiting for these ends to be accepted for
listening sockets via NLA.

There's a lokcing issue with this -- the unix sk state lock is
required to access the peer, and it is taken under the listening
sk's queue lock. Strictly speaking the queue lock should be taken
inside the state lock, but since in this case these two sockets
are different it shouldn't lead to deadlock.

5f7b056946 unix_diag: Unix inode info NLA
Actually, the socket path if it's not anonymous doesn't give
a clue to which file the socket is bound to. Even if the path
is absolute, it can be unlinked and then new socket can be
bound to it.

With this NLA it's possible to check which file a particular
socket is really bound to.

5d3cae8bc3 unix_diag: Dumping exact socket core
The socket inode is used as a key for lookup. This is effectively
the only really unique ID of a unix socket, but using this for
search currently has one problem -- it is O(number of sockets) :(

Does it worth fixing this lookup or inventing some other ID for
unix sockets?

aec8dc62f6 sock_diag: Fix module netlink aliases
I've made a mistake when fixing the sock_/inet_diag aliases :(

1. The sock_diag layer should request the family-based alias,

f45b55575c drm/i915: enable semaphores on per-device defaults
This adds a default setting for semaphores parameter, and enables
semaphores by default on IVB.

For now, as semaphores interaction with VTd causes random issues on
SNB, we do not enable them by default. But they can still be enabled
via the semaphores=1 kernel parameter.

v2: enables semaphores on SNB when IO remapping is disabled, with base
on Keith Packard patch.

4ed0b57745 drm/i915: prevent division by zero when asking for chipset power
This prevents an in-kernel division by zero which happens when we are
asking for i915_chipset_val too quickly, or within a race condition
between the power monitoring thread and userspace accesses via debugfs.

The issue can be reproduced easily via the following command:
while ``; do cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_emon_status; done

This is particularly dangerous because it can be triggered by
a non-privileged user by just reading the debugfs entry.

This issue was also found independently by Konstantin Belousov
<kostikbel@gmail.com>, who proposed a similar patch.

bc23773059 iwlwifi: tid_data logic move to upper layer - tx AGG stop
The tid_data is not related to the transport layer, so move
the logic that depends on it to the upper layer.
This patch deals with tx AGG stop.

1f40e145eb iwlwifi: don't rely on the wr / rd pointers in DELBA flow
In the same spirit as the previous patch. Eventually this will
allow us to remove the tid_data knowledge from the transport layer.

1ba42da479 iwlwifi: we can wake SW queues even when draining HW queues
In the very first implementation of HT, the driver was responsible
for the queueing: stopping and waking the queues while the HW queues
where being drained. In this implementation, we had to deal with the
case where we were draining the AGG queue because we wanted to tear
down the BA agreement.
In the normal flow (when we don't drain any HW queue), when packets
are reclaimed, we wake the SW queue in case the SW queue was stopped
which can happen when the HW queues are too full.
While draining a HW queue, we must make sure that we don't wake the
SW queue, since the whole point of the draining is to empty totally
the HW queue and not only get below a certain threshold.
This is why there is condition in the reclaim function:

if (NOT EMPTYING DELBA)
	wake the SW queue is applicable

Since then, a lot has changed and mac80211 is now able to buffer
packets that are being sent to a packet list that will be spliced
after the driver has reported it has drained its HW queues.
Hence, there is no need for the for aforementioned if, and we can
safely wake up the queue even if we are draining HW queues.
Removing this if, also allows us to remove the wake_queue in
check_empty that was there in order to deal with a corner case
created by the if.

eb9a372a73 iwlwifi: don't count the tfds in HW queue any more
Since packets sent to an RA / TID in AGG are sent from a
separate HW Tx queue, we may get into a race:
the regular queue isn't empty while we already begin to
send packets from the AGG queue. This would result in sending
packets out of order.

In order to cope with this, mac80211 waits until the driver
reports that the legacy queue is drained before it can send
packets to the AGG queue. During that time, mac80211 buffers
packets for the driver. These packets will be sent in order
after the driver reports it is ready.

The way this was implemented in the driver is as follows:
We held a counter that monitors the number of packets for
an RA / TID in the HW queues. When this counter reached 0,
we knew that the HW queues were drained and we reported to
mac80211 that were ready to proceed.

This patch changes the implementation described above. We
now remember what is the wifi sequence number of the first
packet that will be sent in the AGG queue (lets' call it
ssn). When we reclaim the packet before ssn, we know that
the queue is drained, and we are ready to proceed.

This will allow us to move this logic in the upper layer and
eventually remove the tid_data from the shared area.
