To support IEEE 802.11h in IBSS, an ibss_dfs field is added to struct
ieee80211_network. In IBSS, if one STA sends a beacon with DFS info
(for radar detection), all the other STAs should receive and store
this DFS. All STAs should send the DFS as one of the information
element in the beacon they are scheduled to send (if possible) in
the future.
Since the ibss_dfs has variable length, it must be allocated
dynamically. ieee80211_network_reset() is added to clear the ibss_dfs
field. ieee80211_network_free() is also updated to free the ibss_dfs
field if it is not NULL.

This patch adds ieee80211 TKIP build_iv() method to support hardwares
that can do TKIP encryption but relies on ieee80211 layer to build
the IV. It also changes the build_iv() interface to return the key
if possible after the IV is built (this is required by TKIP).

On occasion, a user will submit a patch that enables the "mod15write"
quirk for their device. Enabling this quirk has the effect of clamping
all ATA commands to no more than 15 sectors. The intended use of this
quirk is to stop the controller from generating FIS's of unusual size
("but Wesley, what about the FOUS's?"), which in turn works around
problems in a <list> of hard drives.
One side effect of this quirk is greatly decreased performance. Users
often enable the mod15write quirk to fix various system, power, chip,
and/or driver problems. For a few rare problematic cases, enabling this
has cured lockups or data corruption.
Rather than add bogus listings to the mod15write quirk list (I get a
patch every month doing such), we add a 'slow_down' module parameter.
This allows users to employ a performance sledgehammer in the hopes
of curing a problem. It defaults to off (0), of course.
The code for pulling the key to use for decrypt was correctly using
the host_mc_decrypt flag. The code that actually decrypted,
however, was based on host_decrypt. This patch changes this
behavior.

Modify link up/down handling to use the functions from the MII
library. Note that I track link state using the MII PHY registers
rather than the mv643xx chip's link state registers because I think
it's cleaner to use the MII library code rather than writing local
driver support code. It is also useful to make the actual MII
registers available to the user with maskable kernel printk messages
so the MII registers are being read anyway

Hi,
Below is a patch for the Large Receive Offload feature.
Please review and let us know your comments.
LRO algorithm was described in an OLS 2005 presentation, located at
ftp.s2io.com
user: linuxdocs
password: HALdocs
The same ftp site has Programming Manual for Xframe-I ASIC.
LRO feature is supported on Neterion Xframe-I, Xframe-II and
Xframe-Express 10GbE NICs.
Brief description:
The Large Receive Offload(LRO) feature is a stateless offload
that is complementary to TSO feature but on the receive path.
The idea is to combine and collapse(upto 64K maximum) in the
driver, in-sequence TCP packets belonging to the same session.
It is mainly designed to improve 1500 mtu receive performance,
since Jumbo frame performance is already close to 10GbE line
rate. Some performance numbers are attached below.
Implementation details:
1. Handle packet chains from multiple sessions(current default
MAX_LRO_SESSSIONS=32).
2. Examine each packet for eligiblity to aggregate. A packet is
considered eligible if it meets all the below criteria.
a. It is a TCP/IP packet and L2 type is not LLC or SNAP.
b. The packet has no checksum errors(L3 and L4).
c. There are no IP options. The only TCP option supported is timestamps.
d. Search and locate the LRO object corresponding to this
socket and ensure packet is in TCP sequence.
e. It's not a special packet(SYN, FIN, RST, URG, PSH etc. flags are not set).
f. TCP payload is non-zero(It's not a pure ACK).
g. It's not an IP-fragmented packet.
3. If a packet is found eligible, the LRO object is updated with
information such as next sequence number expected, current length
of aggregated packet and so on. If not eligible or max packets
reached, update IP and TCP headers of first packet in the chain
and pass it up to stack.
4. The frag_list in skb structure is used to chain packets into one
large packet.
Kernel changes required: None
Performance results:
Main focus of the initial testing was on 1500 mtu receiver, since this
is a bottleneck not covered by the existing stateless offloads.
There are couple disclaimers about the performance results below:
1. Your mileage will vary!!!! We initially concentrated on couple pci-x
2.0 platforms that are powerful enough to push 10 GbE NIC and do not
have bottlenecks other than cpu%; testing on other platforms is still
in progress. On some lower end systems we are seeing lower gains.
2. Current LRO implementation is still (for the most part) software based,
and therefore performance potential of the feature is far from being realized.
Full hw implementation of LRO is expected in the next version of Xframe ASIC.
Performance delta(with MTU=1500) going from LRO disabled to enabled:
IBM 2-way Xeon (x366) : 3.5 to 7.1 Gbps
2-way Opteron : 4.5 to 6.1 Gbps

Add new ->probe_reset operation to ata_port_operations obsoleting
->phy_reset. The main difference from ->phy_reset is that the new
operation is not allowed to manipulate libata internals directly.
It's not allowed to configure or disable the port or devices. It can
only succeed or fail and classify attached devices into passed
@classes.
This change gives more control to higher level and eases sharing reset
methods with EH.
