a1c1db3920 ixgbe: Increase the driver version number
With all the last patchsets going in for 82599 feature enablement, the
driver version needs to be increased for better identification.

794caeb259 ixgbe: Add FW detection and warning for 82599 SFP+ adapters
82599 has a FW running that helps manage the internal SFI PHY.  There are
also a number of pre-production samples of these SFI-based devices in the
field.  This patch adds a check to look for the firmware running on all
SFP+ based adapters, and displays a warning to the system log if a
pre-production adapter is identified.  The driver will continue loading
though, with no functional degradation.

Also remove an old function prototype from ixgbe_82599.c that isn't being
used.

ffff477203 ixgbe: Add Flow Director init and modify functions for 82599
This patch adds the functions for ixgbe to initialize Flow Director.  It
also has the function APIs to add Flow Director filters from the base
driver.  This also includes ATR, Application Targeted Routing, which is a
feature set of Flow Director.  This is the hash-based mechanism to
automatically identify flows and add filters based on the hash, and direct
the Rx of that flow back to that same CPU.

50ac58ba1d ixgbe: Harden the 82599 multispeed fiber autotry mechanism
82599 supports multispeed fiber optical modules (10Gbps/1Gbps).  Some
scenarios can cause the autotry mechanism to not negotiate link properly.
What needs to happen is the driver must flap the Tx laser to induce an Rx
Loss of Signal on the link partner.  This will restart the autotry
mechanism to get link into a known state.  The software definable pin (SDP)
3 on the 0x10fb NIC is wired to cause a Tx LOS event, which triggers the
Rx LOS we require.

1479ad4fbf ixgbe: Change the 82599 PHY DSP restart logic
When reprogramming the 82599 analog PHY to either SFI optical or Direct
Attach Twinax, we need to restart the DSP in the PHY.  The current method
can cause contention with our FW which is managing PHY state, and will
cause unexpected link flaps.  This patch fixes the DSP restart by issuing
an AN_RESTART in the MAC, which will properly propagate the DSP restart to
the PHY.  This ensures we don't collide with the FW.

ee5006a19c iwl3945/iwlwifi: fix led bug when SW rfkill
Patch fixes the bug at
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1903

when SW rfkill is invoked by 'iwconfig txpower off',
the existing connection disassociates and led off command is sent
to the device which returns error as rfkill is 'true'.

Patch fixes this by just avoiding sending the led off/on command when
disassociated. The main purpose of the led_disassociate callback
is to start or stop the blinking.
There are three states in led
1) Always on when radio is on
2) Always off when radio is off
3) blink when associated and if there is some traffic.

In this callback 'allow_blinking' needs to be set false
when associated, as LED will be always on.

c722c625db tun: Only wake up writers
When I added socket accounting to tun I inadvertently introduced
spurious wake-up events that kills qemu performance.  The problem
occurs when qemu polls on the tun fd for read, and then transmits
packets.  For each packet transmitted, we will wake up qemu even
if it only cares about read events.

Now this affects all sockets, but it is only a new problem for
tun.  So this patch tries to fix it for tun first and we can then
look at the problem in general.

278b2513f7 gso: Stop fraglists from escaping
As it stands skb fraglists can get past the check in dev_queue_xmit
if the skb is marked as GSO.  In particular, if the packet doesn't
have the proper checksums for GSO, but can otherwise be handled by
the underlying device, we will not perform the fraglist check on it
at all.

If the underlying device cannot handle fraglists, then this will
break.

The fix is as simple as moving the fraglist check from the device
check into skb_gso_ok.

This has caused crashes with Xen when used together with GRO which
can generate GSO packets with fraglists.

delayed work and thus allow starting polling by calling the

needs to notify us and we will take down the interfaces
after the fact. While rfkilled, interfaces cannot be set UP.

6081162e2e rfkill: add function to query state
Sometimes it is necessary to know how the state is,
and it is easier to query rfkill than keep track of
it somewhere else, so add a function for that. This
could later be expanded to return hard/soft block,
but so far that isn't necessary.

7643a2c3fc cfg80211: move txpower wext from mac80211
This patch introduces new cfg80211 API to set the TX power
via cfg80211, puts the wext code into cfg80211 and updates
mac80211 to use all that. The -ENETDOWN bits are a hack but
will go away soon.

c64fb01627 rfkill: create useful userspace interface
The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
well as events when the status changes.

Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
a number of times to get the initial state, and every
further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
devices.

This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
order to be able to test without it present since its
functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
and distros and users may not want the input part of
rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
consequently add the input code to the feature removal
schedule.

In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct
behaviour in all cases.
