6da3a13e4f iwlwifi: merge and better support of suspend/resume for iwlagn and iwl3945
With mac80211's help to call stop() and start() in mac80211
suspend/resume function, both iwlagn and iwl3945 no longer calling
stop() and start(); remove un-necessary STATUS_IN_SUSPEND bit from both
header files and functions,

Move apm_ops.stop() function into pci_suspend() to ensure
DMA is stopped before go into suspend mode.

iwl3945 has the similar suspend/resume function as iwlagn, so move both
functions to iwlcore to be shared by both drivers.

4f5cab969b p54spi: fix p54spi_tx_frame DMA transfer initiation and skb cleanup
p54spi_tx_frame wasn't waiting for HOST_ALLOWED in SPI_ADRS_DMA_WRITE_CTRL.
This resulted in frequent 'WR_READY timeout' on beacon resubmission.

Also don't free skb on error path, as it gets freed on p54spi_wq_tx.

Instead of firmware itself p54_upload_firmware was sending to the device
content of struct firmware and the following random garbage.

Notice '&' before priv->firmware->data at p54spi_spi_write.

3f9738f73a 8139too: fix HW initial flow
While ifconfig eth0 up kernel calls open() of 8139 driver(8139too.c).
In rtl8139_hw_start() of rtl8139_open(), 8139 driver enable RX before
setting up the DMA buffer address. In this interval where RX was
enabled and DMA buffer address is not yet set up, any incoming
broadcast packet would be send to a strange physical address:
0x003e8800 which is the default value of DMA buffer address.
Unfortunately, this address is used by Linux kernel. So kernel panics.
This patch fix it by setting up DMA buffer address before RX enabled
and everything is fine even under broadcast packets attack.

df833b1d73 iwlwifi: DMA fixes
A few issues wrt DMA were uncovered when using the driver with swiotlb.
- driver should not use memory after it has been mapped
- iwl3945's RX queue management cannot use all of iwlagn because
  the size of the RX buffer is different. Revert back to using
  iwl3945 specific routines that map/unmap memory.
- no need to "dma_syn_single_range_for_cpu" followed by pci_unmap_single,
  we can just call pci_unmap_single initially
- only map the memory area that will be used by device. this is especially
  relevant to the mapping of iwl_cmd. we should not map the entire
  structure because the meta data at the beginning of structure contains
  the address to be used later for unmapping. If the address to be used for
  unmapping is stored in mapped data it creates a problem.
- ensure that _if_ memory needs to be modified after it is mapped that we
  call _sync_single_for_cpu first, and then release it back to device with
  _sync_single_for_device
- we mapped the wrong length of data for host commands, with mapped length
  differing with length provided to device, fix that.

Thanks to Jason Andryuk <jandryuk@gmail.com> for significant bisecting

d2ee9cd2e2 iwlwifi: add debugging for TX path
When debugging TX issues it is helpful to know the seq nr of the
frame being transmitted. The seq nr is printed as part of ucode's
log informing us which frame is being processed. Having this information
printed in driver log makes it easy to match activities between driver
and firmware.

Also make possible to print TX flags directly. These are already printed
as part of entire TX command, but having it printed directly in cpu format
makes it easier to look at.

624f8e5082 tg3: Allow screaming interrupt detection
The tg3 driver's ISR is coded to accept interrupts as its own if the
status block tag does not equal the last tag the driver has seen.  The
last_tag field is updated from tg3_poll.  In a screaming interrupt
situation from another device sharing tg3's IRQ, tg3_poll does not get
a chance to be called, so the last_tag will always be out of sync with
the status block tag.  Consequently, the driver will continually
declare the screaming interrupts as its own, thus thwarting the
screaming interrupt detection logic.

This patch solves the problem by creating a new last_irq_tag member and
recording the status block tag in the ISR.  The ISR then checks the
last_irq_tag for interrupt ownership.

Many thanks to John Marvin for the detailed bug report and analysis and
Michael Chan for the bugfix.

499a214ca2 rt2x00: Don't free register information on suspend
After suspend & resume the rt2x00 devices won't wakeup
anymore due to a broken register information setup.
The most important problem is the release of the EEPROM
buffer which is completely cleared and never read again
after the suspend.

c40af84a67 tun: Fix sk_sleep races when attaching/detaching
As the sk_sleep wait queue actually lives in tfile, which may be
detached from the tun device, bad things will happen when we use
sk_sleep after detaching.

Since the tun device is the persistent data structure here (when
requested by the user), it makes much more sense to have the wait
queue live there.  There is no reason to have it in tfile at all
since the only time we can wait is if we have a tun attached.
In fact we already have a wait queue in tun_struct, so we might
as well use it.

9c3fea6ab0 tun: Only free a netdev when all tun descriptors are closed
The commit c70f182940 ("tun: Fix
races between tun_net_close and free_netdev") fixed a race where
an asynchronous deletion of a tun device can hose a poll(2) on
a tun fd attached to that device.

However, this came at the cost of moving the tun wait queue into
the tun file data structure.  The problem with this is that it
imposes restrictions on when and where the tun device can access
the wait queue since the tun file may change at any time due to
detaching and reattaching.

In particular, now that we need to use the wait queue on the
receive path it becomes difficult to properly synchronise this
with the detachment of the tun device.

This patch solves the original race in a different way.  Since
the race is only because the underlying memory gets freed, we
can prevent it simply by ensuring that we don't do that until
all tun descriptors ever attached to the device (even if they
have since be detached because they may still be sitting in poll)
have been closed.

This is done by using reference counting the attached tun file
descriptors.  The refcount in tun->sk has been reappropriated
for this purpose since it was already being used for that, albeit
from the opposite angle.

Note that we no longer zero tfile->tun since tun_get will return
NULL anyway after the refcount on tfile hits zero.  Instead it
represents whether this device has ever been attached to a device.

7eebb0b28f loopback: packet drops accounting
We can in some situations drop packets in netif_rx()

loopback driver does not report these (unlikely) drops to its stats,
and incorrectly change packets/bytes counts.

After this patch applied, "ifconfig lo" can reports these drops as in :

# ifconfig lo
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:692562900 errors:3228 dropped:3228 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:692562900 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB)  TX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB)

I initialy chose to reflect those errors only in tx_dropped/tx_errors, but David
convinced me that it was really RX errors, as loopback_xmit() really starts
a RX process. (calling eth_type_trans() for example, that itself pulls the ethernet header)

These errors are accounted in rx_dropped/rx_errors.
