ip6gre_tunnel_xmit() is leaking the skb when we hit this error branch,

There are transients during normal FRTO procedure during which
the packets_in_flight can go to zero between write_queue state
updates and firing the resulting segments out. As FRTO processing
occurs during that window the check must be more precise to
not match "spuriously" :-). More specificly, e.g., when
packets_in_flight is zero but FLAG_DATA_ACKED is true the problematic
branch that set cwnd into zero would not be taken and new segments
might be sent out later.

====================
Please consider this pull request for the 3.8 stream...
Included is a bluetooth pull. Gustavo says:
"Two simple fixes for 3.8. One of the patches fixes a situation
where the connection wasn't terminated if a timeout ocurrs for LE
an SCO connections. The other fixes prevent NULL dereference in the
SMP code, it is a security fix as well."
Along with those...
Hauke Mehrtens provides a couple of ssb and bcma bus fixes that
prevent oopses when unloading those modules.
Larry Finger provides and rtlwifi fix to avoid a "scheduling while
atomic" bug.
Last but certainly not least, Arend van Spriel bring a brcmsmac fix that
reworks the mac80211 .flush() callback in order to avoid the dreaded
brcms_c_wait_for_tx_completion warnings. This one looks a little
large, but I think it is safe and isolated to brcmsmac in any case.

This patch addresses a long standing issue of the driver with the
mac80211 .flush() callback. Since implementing the .flush() callback
a number of issues have been fixed, but a WARN_ON_ONCE() was still
triggered because the timeout on the flush could still occur.
This patch changes the awkward design using msleep() into one using
a waitqueue. The waiting flush() context will kick the transmit dma
when it is idle and the timeout used waiting for the event is set
to 500 ms. Worst case there can be 64 frames outstanding for transmit
in the driver. At a rate of 1Mbps that would take 1.5 seconds assuming
MTU is 1500 bytes and ignoring retries. The WARN_ON_ONCE() is also
removed as this was put in to indicate the flush timeout as a reason
for the driver to stall. That was not happening since fixing endless
AMPDU retries with following upstream commit:

Kernel commits 41affd5 and 6539306 changed the locking in rtl_lps_leave()
from a spinlock to a mutex by doing the calls indirectly from a work queue
to reduce the time that interrupts were disabled. This change was fine for
most systems; however a scheduling while atomic bug was reported in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903881. The backtrace indicates
that routine rtl_is_special(), which calls rtl_lps_leave() in three places
was entered in atomic context. These direct calls are replaced by putting a
request on the appropriate work queue.

It is normal for minidrivers accumulating frames to return NULL
from their tx_fixup function. We do not want to count this as a
drop, or log any debug messages. A different exit path is
therefore chosen for such drivers, skipping the debug message
and the tx_dropped increment.
The test for accumulating drivers was however completely bogus,
making the exit path selection depend on whether the user had
enabled tx_err logging or not. This would arbitrarily mess up
accounting for both accumulating and non-accumulating minidrivers,
and would result in unwanted debug messages for the accumulating
drivers.
Fix by testing for FLAG_MULTI_PACKET instead, which probably was
the intention from the beginning. This usage match the documented
behaviour of this flag:
Indicates to usbnet, that USB driver accumulates multiple IP packets.

When releasing a packet socket, the routine packet_set_ring() is reused
to free rings instead of allocating them. But when calling it for the
first time, it fills req->tp_block_nr with the value of rb->pg_vec_len
which in the second invocation makes it bail out since req->tp_block_nr
is greater zero but req->tp_block_size is zero.
This patch solves the problem by passing a zeroed auto-variable to
packet_set_ring() upon each invocation from packet_release().
As far as I can tell, this issue exists even since 69e3c75 (net: TX_RING
and packet mmap), i.e. the original inclusion of TX ring support into
af_packet, but applies only to sockets with both RX and TX ring
allocated, which is probably why this was unnoticed all the time.

Commit 9dc274151a548 (tcp: fix ABC in tcp_slow_start())
uncovered a bug in FRTO code :
tcp_process_frto() is setting snd_cwnd to 0 if the number
of in flight packets is 0.
As Neal pointed out, if no packet is in flight we lost our
chance to disambiguate whether a loss timeout was spurious.
We should assume it was a proper loss.

On receiving the SYN-ACK, Fast Open checks icsk_retransmit for SYN
retransmission to detect SYN/data drops. But if F-RTO is disabled,
icsk_retransmit is reset at step D of tcp_fastretrans_alert() (
under tcp_ack()) before tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack(). The fix is to use
total_retrans instead which accounts for SYN retransmission regardless
the use of F-RTO.

A scan request is split into multiple scan commands queued in
scan_pending_q. Each scan command will be sent to firmware and
its response is handlded one after another.
If any error is detected while parsing IE in command response
buffer the remaining data will be ignored and error is returned.
We should check if there is any more scan commands pending in
the queue before returning error. This ensures that we will call
cfg80211_scan_done if this is the last scan command, or send
next scan command in scan_pending_q to firmware.

vmxnet3 fails to set netif_carrier_off on probe, meaning that when an interface
is opened the __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER bit is already cleared, and so
/sys/class/net/<ifname>/operstate remains in the unknown state. Correct this by
setting netif_carrier_off on probe, like other drivers do.
Also, while we're at it, lets remove the netif_carrier_ok checks from the
link_state_update function, as that check is atomically contained within the
netif_carrier_[on|off] functions anyway

In rare instances, memory errors have been detected in the internal packet
buffer memory on I217/I218 when stressed under certain environmental
conditions. Enable Error Correcting Code (ECC) in hardware to catch both
correctable and uncorrectable errors. Correctable errors will be handled
by the hardware. Uncorrectable errors in the packet buffer will cause the
packet to be received with an error indication in the buffer descriptor
causing the packet to be discarded. If the uncorrectable error is in the
descriptor itself, the hardware will stop and interrupt the driver
indicating the error. The driver will then reset the hardware in order to
clear the error and restart.
Both types of errors will be accounted for in statistics counters.

We forbid polling, writing and reading when the file were detached, this may
complex the user in several cases:
- when guest pass some buffers to vhost/qemu and then disable some queues,
host/qemu needs to do its own cleanup on those buffers which is complex
sometimes. We can do this simply by allowing a user can still write to an
disabled queue. Write to an disabled queue will cause the packet pass to the
kernel and read will get nothing.
- align the polling behavior with macvtap which never fails when the queue is
created. This can simplify the polling errors handling of its user (e.g vhost)
We can simply achieve this by don't assign NULL to tfile->tun when detached.

Currently, the polling errors were ignored, which can lead following issues:
- vhost remove itself unconditionally from waitqueue when stopping the poll,
this may crash the kernel since the previous attempt of starting may fail to
add itself to the waitqueue
- userspace may think the backend were successfully set even when the polling
failed.
Solve this by:
- check poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue
- report polling errors in vhost_poll_start(), tx_poll_start(), the return value
will be checked and returned when userspace want to set the backend
After this fix, there still could be a polling failure after backend is set, it
will addressed by the next patch.

The delay calculation with the rate extension introduces in v3.3 does
not properly work, if other packets are still queued for transmission.
For the delay calculation to work, both delay types (latency and delay
introduces by rate limitation) have to be handled differently. The
latency delay for a packet can overlap with the delay of other packets.
The delay introduced by the rate however is separate, and can only
start, once all other rate-introduced delays finished.
Latency delay is from same distribution for each packet, rate delay
depends on the packet size.
.: latency delay
-: rate delay
x: additional delay we have to wait since another packet is currently
transmitted
.....---- Packet 1
.....xx------ Packet 2
.....------ Packet 3
^^^^^
latency stacks
^^
rate delay doesn't stack
^^
latency stacks
-----> time
When a packet is enqueued, we first consider the latency delay. If other
packets are already queued, we can reduce the latency delay until the
last packet in the queue is send, however the latency delay cannot be
<0, since this would mean that the rate is overcommitted. The new
reference point is the time at which the last packet will be send. To
find the time, when the packet should be send, the rate introduces delay
has to be added on top of that.

If a tunnel socket is created by userspace, l2tp hooks the socket destructor
in order to clean up resources if userspace closes the socket or crashes. It
also caches a pointer to the struct sock for use in the data path and in the
netlink interface.
While it is safe to use the cached sock pointer in the data path, where the
skb references keep the socket alive, it is not safe to use it elsewhere as
such access introduces a race with userspace closing the socket. In
particular, l2tp_tunnel_delete is prone to oopsing if a multithreaded
userspace application closes a socket at the same time as sending a netlink
delete command for the tunnel.
This patch fixes this oops by forcing l2tp_tunnel_delete to explicitly look up
a tunnel socket held by userspace using sockfd_lookup().

Pull powerpc fixes from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"Whenever you have a chance between two dives, you might want to
consider pulling my merge branch to pickup a few fixes for 3.8 that
have been accumulating for the last couple of weeks (I was myself
travelling then on vacation).
Nothing major, just a handful of powerpc bug fixes that I consider
worth getting in before 3.8 goes final."
And I'll have everybody know that I'm not diving for several days yet.
Snif.

With lazy interrupt, we always call __check_irq_replaysome with
decrementers_next_tb to check if we need to replay timer interrupt.
So in hotplug case we also need to set decrementers_next_tb as MAX
to make sure __check_irq_replay don't replay timer interrupt
when return as we expect, otherwise we'll trap here infinitely.

In preempt case current arch_local_irq_restore() from
preempt_schedule_irq() may enable hard interrupt but we really
should disable interrupts when we return from the interrupt,
and so that we don't get interrupted after loading SRR0/1.

The calculation for the left shift of the mask OPROFILE_PM_PMCSEL_MSK has an
error. The calculation is should be to shift left by (max_cntrs - cntr) times
the width of the pmsel field width. However, the #define OPROFILE_MAX_PMC_NUM
was used instead of OPROFILE_PMSEL_FIELD_WIDTH. This patch fixes the
calculation.
