bonding: Fix corrupted queue_mapping
In the transmit path of the bonding driver, skb->cb is used to
stash the skb->queue_mapping so that the bonding device can set its
own queue mapping. This value becomes corrupted since the skb->cb is
also used in __dev_xmit_skb.
When transmitting through bonding driver, bond_select_queue is
called from dev_queue_xmit. In bond_select_queue the original
skb->queue_mapping is copied into skb->cb (via bond_queue_mapping)
and skb->queue_mapping is overwritten with the bond driver queue.
Subsequently in dev_queue_xmit, __dev_xmit_skb is called which writes
the packet length into skb->cb, thereby overwriting the stashed
queue mappping. In bond_dev_queue_xmit (called from hard_start_xmit),
the queue mapping for the skb is set to the stashed value which is now
the skb length and hence is an invalid queue for the slave device.
If we want to save skb->queue_mapping into skb->cb[], best place is to
add a field in struct qdisc_skb_cb, to make sure it wont conflict with
other layers (eg : Qdiscc, Infiniband...)
This patchs also makes sure (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data is aligned on 8
bytes :
netem qdisc for example assumes it can store an u64 in it, without
misalignment penalty.
Note : we only have 20 bytes left in (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data[].

ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8
Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider
packets from that address block martian when routing and do
not process corresponding ARP requests.
This is a sane default but renders a huge address space
practically unuseable.
The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should
ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid
the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in
particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests
behind a load balancer.
This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet'
enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing
of ARP requests on a specific interface.
Note that for the feature to work, the default local route
covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed.

$ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1
$ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local

mwifiex: fix simultaneous scan and Tx traffic problem
If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.
This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.

mwifiex: shorten per channel scan time
Currently the scan time per channel for active scanning is set to
200ms. It takes quite a while to finsh scanning on all channels,
especially with a dual band configuration.
Change the per channel scan time settings to the following values:
passive scan: 110ms
active scan: 30ms
specific scan: 30ms
Above settings have been tested on x86 and arm platforms.

rndis_wlan: fix matching bssid check in rndis_check_bssid_list()
rndis_check_bssid_list() originally tried to check if bssid->mac and
match_bssid are equal using compare_ether_addr() when it should use
!compare_ether_addr(). This check was added by commit b5257c952dda24df7078c74b7b811b44c6e49206 as part of workaround for
hardware issue.
Commit 2e42e4747ea72943c21551d8a206b51a9893b1e0 that replaced
compare_ether_addr with ether_addr_equal relieved that this compare
to be inverse of what it should be.
Compare was added as response to hardware bug, where bssid-list does
not contain BSSID and other information of currently connected AP
(spec insists that device must provide this information in the list
when connected). Lack bssid-data on current connection then causes
WARN_ON somewhere in cfg80211. Workaround was to check if bssid-list
returns current bssid and if it does not, manually construct bssid
information in other ways. And this workaround worked, with inverse
check. Which must mean that when hardware is experiencing the problem,
it's actually returning empty bssid-list and this check didn't make
any difference for workaround.
However inverse check causes workaround be activated when bssid-list
returns only entry, currently connected BSSID. That does not cause
problems in itself, just slightly more inaccurate information in
scan-list.

ath9k: Fix a WARNING on suspend/resume with IBSS
this patch is dependent on the patch "cfg80211: fix interface
combinations"
In ath9k currently we have ADHOC interface as a single incompatible
interface. when drv_add_interface is called during resume we got to
consider number of vifs already present in addition to checking the
drivers 'opmode' information about ADHOC. we incorrectly assume
an ADHOC interface is already present. Then we may miss some driver
specific data for the ADHOC interface after resume.
The above mentioned checks can be removed from the driver,
as the patch 'cfg80211: fix interface combinations' ensures that
if an interface type is not advertised by the driver in any of the
interface combinations(via ieee80211_iface_combination) then it shall
be treated as a single incompatible interface. Fixes the following
warning on suspend/resume with ibss interface.

iwlwifi: decouple testmode and iwl-test
The iwl-test flows were based on the cfg80211 testmode APIs.
To remove this coupling, the op mode (during the initialization
of the iwl_test object) is responsible to set the callbacks that
should be used by iwl-test to allocate skbs for events and replies
and to send events and replies.
The current op modes implement these callbacks based on the cfg80211
testmode APIs.

inet: Add family scope inetpeer flushes.
This implementation can deal with having many inetpeer roots, which is
a necessary prerequisite for per-FIB table rooted peer tables.
Each family (AF_INET, AF_INET6) has a sequence number which we bump
when we get a family invalidation request.
Each peer lookup cheaply checks whether the flush sequence of the
root we are using is out of date, and if so flushes it and updates
the sequence number.

ipv4: Kill ip_rt_frag_needed().
There is zero point to this function.
It's only real substance is to perform an extremely outdated BSD4.2
ICMP check, which we can safely remove. If you really have a MTU
limited link being routed by a BSD4.2 derived system, here's a nickel
go buy yourself a real router.
The other actions of ip_rt_frag_needed(), checking and conditionally
updating the peer, are done by the per-protocol handlers of the ICMP
event.
TCP, UDP, et al. have a handler which will receive this event and
transmit it back into the associated route via dst_ops->update_pmtu().
This simplification is important, because it eliminates the one place
where we do not have a proper route context in which to make an
inetpeer lookup.
