This is called with spinlocks held so we have to use GFP_ATOMIC. It's
the sc_pcu_lock in ath9k_stop() that's the issue. The call tree looks
like this:
ath9k_stop()
ath_prepare_reset()
ath_stoprecv()
ath_flushrecv()
ath_rx_tasklet()
ath9k_dfs_process_phyerr()
pd->add_pulse() => dpd_add_pulse()
channel_detector_get()
channel_detector_create()
pri_detector_init()
channel_detector_create() uses GFP_ATOMIC as well.

The DFS pattern detector was initially planned to reside on
a higher layer and used generic pr_*() logging functions.
Being part of ath9k, use ath_dbg() instead and make DFS log
ouput selectable via ATH_DBG_DFS (0x20000) at runtime.

Some cards on Ralink RT30xx chipset not have correctly TX_MIXER_GAIN
value in them EEPROM/EFUSE. In this case, we must use default value,
but always used EEPROM/EFUSE value. As result we have tranmitt power
range from -10dBm to +6dBm instead 0dBm to +16dBm.
Correctly value in EEPROM/EFUSE is one or more for RT3070 and two or
more for other RT30xx chips.

This rate causes an overflow in the extended rates IE's data rate field,
with the overflowing bit setting the Basic Rate Set membership. This
results in a bogus 8 Mpbs basic rate, making clients checking them refuse
association.
Since the rate is likely unused anyway (HT will yield better rates between
supporting chips), we can just remove it.
This fixes association from wpa_supplicant and Android 4.x and newer.

- A major pn533 update. The pn533 framing support has been changed in order to
easily support all pn533 derivatives. For example we now support the ACR122
USB dongle.
- An NFC MEI physical layer code factorization through the mei_phy NFC API.
Both the microread and the pn544 drivers now use it.
- LLCP aggregation support. This allows NFC p2p devices to send aggregated
frames containing all sort of LLCP frames except SYMM and aggregation
frames.
- More LLCP socket options for getting the remote device link parameters.
- Fixes for the LLCP socket option code added with the first pull request for

- Some support for LLCP corner cases like 0 length SDUs and general DISC

When a task is scheduled in, it may have some properties
of its own that could make the CPU reconsider the need for
the tick: posix cpu timers, perf events, ...
So notify the full dynticks subsystem when a task gets

stage. This is done through a self IPI to avoid messing
up with any current lock scenario.

Interrupt exit is a natural place to stop the tick: it happens
after all events happening before and during the irq which
are liable to update the dependency on the tick occured. Also
it makes sure that any check on tick dependency is well ordered
against dynticks kick IPIs.
Bring in the infrastructure that performs the tick dependency
checks on irq exit and shut it down if these checks show that we
can do it safely.

when they want to notify about a new event that may

The scheduler IPI is used by the scheduler to kick
full dynticks CPUs asynchronously when more than one
task are running or when a new timer list timer is
enqueued. This way the destination CPU can decide
to restart the tick to handle this new situation.
Now let's call that kick in the scheduler IPI.

a new IPI was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago)

Kick the tick on full dynticks CPUs when they get more
than one task running on their queue. This makes sure that
local fairness is maintained by the tick on the destination.
This is done regardless of these tasks' class. We should
be able to be more clever in the future depending on these. eg:
a CPU that runs a SCHED_FIFO task doesn't need to maintain
fairness against local pending tasks of the fair class.
But keep things simple for now.

Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211
and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate
selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows
rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a
step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi.
When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not
fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve
explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then
explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from
info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table.

Pull crypto fix from Herbert Xu:
"This fixes a kernel memory leak in the algif interface"
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6:
crypto: algif - suppress sending source address information in recvmsg
Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete
successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space
API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol
is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives
NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP.
There can be only on critical protocol session started per
registered cfg80211 device.
The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks
.crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols
that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the
link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver. Things
to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and
alter coexistence schemes.
