8a4ec67bd5 cciss: add cciss_tape_cmds module paramter
This is to allow number of commands reserved for use by SCSI tape drives
and medium changers to be adjusted at driver load time via the kernel
parameter cciss_tape_cmds, with a default value of 6, and a range
of 2 - 16 inclusive.  Previously, the driver limited the number of
commands which could be queued to the SCSI half of the the driver
to only 2.  This is to fix the problem that if you had more than
two tape drives, you couldn't, for example, erase or rewind them all
at the same time.

5afe278114 cciss: do soft reset if hard reset is broken
on driver load, if reset_devices is set, and the hard reset
attempts fail, try to bring up the controller to the point that
a command can be sent, and send it a soft reset command, then
after the reset undo whatever driver initialization was done to get
it to the point to take a command, and re-do it after the reset.

This is to get kdump to work on all the "non-resettable" controllers
(except 64xx controllers which can't be reset due to the potentially
shared cache module.)

bf2e2e6b87 cciss: use new doorbell-bit-5 reset method
The bit-2-doorbell reset method seemed to cause (survivable) NMIs
on some systems and (unsurvivable) IOCK NMIs on some G7 servers.
Firmware guys implemented a new doorbell method to alleviate these
problems triggered by bit 5 of the doorbell register.  We want to
use it if it's available.

62710ae1ce cciss: do a better job of detecting controller reset failure
Detect failure of controller reset by noticing if the 32 bytes of
"driver version" we store on the hardware in the config table
fail to get zeroed out.  Previously we noticed if the controller
did not transition to "simple mode", but this did not detect reset
failure if the controller was already in simple mode prior to
the reset attempt (e.g. due to module parameter hpsa_simple_mode=1).

Since firmware is capable of generating IV's for all crypto

IV when HW crypto is being used. Instead only reserve
appropriate space in tx skb's in the driver, so that the
firmware can write IV's values.

cf3a03b9c9 ath9k_hw: fix power for the HT40 duplicate frames
With AR9003 at about ~ 10 feet from an AP that uses RTS / CTS you
will be able to associate but not not get data through given that
the power for the rates used was set too low. This increases the
power and permits data connectivity at longer distances from
access points when connected with HT40. Without this you will not
get any data through when associated to APs configured in HT40
at about more than 10 feet away.

4268d8ed64 rt2x00: Fix transfer speed regression for USB hardware
Patch:
  rt2x00: Make rt2x00_queue_entry_for_each more flexible
  commit: 10e11568ca

introduced a severe regression on the throughput
for USB hardware. It turns out that the exiting of
the rt2x00queue_for_each_entry() was done too early.

The exact cause for this regression is unknown,
but by disabling the premature exiting of the loop
seems to resolve the issue.

28ef6450f0 ath9k_hw: do noise floor calibration only on required chains
At present the noise floor calibration is processed in supported
control and extension chains rather than required chains.
Unnccesarily doing nfcal in all supported chains leads to
invalid nf readings on extn chains and these invalid values
got updated into history buffer. While loading those values
from history buffer is moving the chip to deaf state.

This issue was observed in AR9002/AR9003 chips while doing
associate/dissociate in HT40 mode and interface up/down
in iterative manner. After some iterations, the chip was moved
to deaf state. Somehow the pci devices are recovered by poll work
after chip reset. Raading the nf values in all supported extension chains
when the hw is not yet configured in HT40 mode results invalid values.

8f7f3b2fcc carl9170: fix allmulticast mode
Currently, the driver only disable multicast filtering when the
FIF_ALLMULTI driver flag has been just set (ie,
if changed_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI and *new_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI) or else
it will reenable multicast filtering.

But next time, this condition will be false and multicast filtering
will be reenabled, even through FIF_ALLMULTI is still set.

This mean that allmulticast only works for less than two minutes in
ad-hoc mode.  This patch fixes that to disable multicast filtering
as long as FIF_ALLMULTI is set.

When scan and assoc (infra/ibss) commands are simultaneously
given in two terminals, association response is erroneously
served while serving the scan response.

mwifiex_cfg80211_results() is the common routine for sending
ioctl (scan, assoc etc.) results to cfg80211 stack. In above
scenario even if the common routine is called for scan ioctl
context, it also tries to send information about assoc ioctl to
cfg80211 because "priv->assoc_request/priv->ibss_join_request"
flag is on at that time.

Fix the issue by updating request variable after assoc handling
and modifying the variable check in mwifiex_cfg80211_results.

cbe8c735f1 ath9k_hw: remove aggregation protection mode
when aggregation protection mode is enabled the hardware needs
to send RTS/CTS for each HT frame. Currently its disabled so
remove the unused call backs.

7e4b4eeced libertas: remove tx_timeout handler
As described at http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=130428493104730&w=2
libertas frequently generates spurious tx timeouts, because the tx
queue is brought down for extended periods during scanning. The net
layer takes a look and incorrectly assumes the queue has been down for
several seconds, and generates a tx_timeout.

One way to fix this is to bump the trans_start counter while scanning
so that the network layer knows that the device is still alive, but
I think the tx_timeout handler is implemented wrongly here and not of
any real use, so I vote to remove it.

As explained at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130430311115755&w=2
the watchdog is primarily meant to deal with lockup on the hardware TX
path (detected by the tx queue being stopped for an extended period of
time), but this is unlikely to happen with libertas. In this case, the tx
queue is stopped only while waiting for lbs_thread to send the queued frame
to the driver, and lbs_thread wakes up the queue immediately after, even
if the frame could not be sent correctly.

So, the only hardware-related possibility that this catches is if
hw_host_to_card hangs - this is something I have never seen. And if it
were to happen, nothing done by lbs_tx_timeout would actually wake up
lbs_thread any quicker than otherwise.

Removing this oddly-behaving spuriously-firing tx_timeout handler should
fix an occasional kernel crash during resume
