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

====================
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.
Please let me know if there are problems!

This patch and the following two patches add support for link flap avoidance
by maintaining the link on power down. This feature is required for
management capable devices to have the management connection
uninterrupted on driver reload, reboot and interface up/down.
The other pros of this feature are
- It speeds up boot up time by several seconds as DHCP addresses can be
acquired faster.
- It avoids lengthy Spanning Tree delay.
On powerup the hardware brings up the phy with default settings. If the
link is not up, the management software configures the phy to gigabit
and starts autonegotiate. Subsequently, as long as the link is up, the
driver and management refrain from resetting and/or changing any
configuration that the link depends on.
The LNK_FLAP_AVOID setting is an NVRAM user configurable bit and is
disabled by default. If this setting is enabled, we skip powering down
the phy and resetting it.
A second NVRAM setting is 1G_ON_VAUX_OK (off by default). This adds
support for gigabit link speed when device is on auxiliary power.

Normally on driver load, we set the default settings for speed and flow
control. However, if the default setting is not compatible with the current link
state, we would autonegotiate and cause a link flap. To avoid this, we
pull the current advertised settings into the config.
A second scenario is if a user changes the speed/duplex/fc settings when
the interface is down. In this case we must not pull the settings from
the phy and overwrite user settings. We avoid that by checking the
USER_CONFIGURED flag.

This patch introduces an UAPI header for the SCTP protocol,
so that we can facilitate the maintenance and development of
user land applications or libraries, in particular in terms
of header synchronization.
To not break compatibility, some fragments from lksctp-tools'
netinet/sctp.h have been carefully included, while taking care
that neither kernel nor user land breaks, so both compile fine
with this change (for lksctp-tools I tested with the old
netinet/sctp.h header and with a newly adapted one that includes
the uapi sctp header). lksctp-tools smoke test run through
successfully as well in both cases.

Instead of invalidating all IPv6 addresses with global scope
when one decides to use IPv6 tokens, we should only invalidate
previous tokens and leave the rest intact until they expire
eventually (or are intact forever). For doing this less greedy
approach, we're adding a bool at the end of inet6_ifaddr structure
instead, for two reasons: i) per-inet6_ifaddr flag space is
already used up, making it wider might not be a good idea,
since ii) also we do not necessarily need to export this
information into user space.

When we set the iftoken in inet6_set_iftoken(), we return -EINVAL
when the device does not have flag IF_READY. This is however not
necessary and rather an artificial usability barrier, since we
simply can set the token despite that, and in case the device is
ready, we just send out our rs, otherwise ifup et al. will do
this for us anyway.

This patch adds support for IPv6 tokenized IIDs, that allow
for administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses
to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix from
Router Advertisements. It is currently in draft status.
The primary target for such support is server platforms
where addresses are usually manually configured, rather
than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenised identifiers,
hosts can still determine their network prefix by use of
SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should
their network prefix change. [...]
The disadvantage with static addresses is that they are
likely to require manual editing should the network prefix
in use change. If instead there were a method to only
manually configure the static identifier part of the IPv6
address, then the address could be automatically updated
when a new prefix was introduced, as described in [RFC4192]
for example. In such cases a DNS server might be
configured with such a tokenised interface identifier of
::53, and SLAAC would use the token in constructing the
interface address, using the advertised prefix. [...]
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02
The implementation is partially based on top of Mark K.
Thompson's proof of concept. However, it uses the Netlink
interface for configuration resp. data retrival, so that
it can be easily extended in future. Successfully tested
by myself.
