Linux keeps scan results up to 15 seconds. This can be a problem for fast
moving clients: they get back stale data. But if the kernel reports the age
of the BSS items, then user-space can simply weed out old entries by itself.

For various purposes including a wireless extensions
bugfix, we need to hook into the netdev creation before
before netdev_register_kobject(). This will also ease
doing the dev type assignment that Marcel was working
on for cfg80211 drivers w/o touching them all.

We currently dirty a cache line to update tunnel device stats
(tx_packets/tx_bytes). We better use the txq->tx_bytes/tx_packets
counters that already are present in cpu cache, in the cache
line shared with txq->_xmit_lock
This patch extends IPTUNNEL_XMIT() macro to use txq pointer
provided by the caller.
Also &tunnel->dev->stats can be replaced by &dev->stats

Add Ancilliary data to better represent loss information
I've had a few requests recently to provide more detail regarding frame loss
during an AF_PACKET packet capture session. Specifically the requestors want to
see where in a packet sequence frames were lost, i.e. they want to see that 40
frames were lost between frames 302 and 303 in a packet capture file. In order
to do this we need:
1) The kernel to export this data to user space
2) The applications to make use of it
This patch addresses item (1). It does this by doing the following:
A) Anytime we drop a frame for which we would increment po->stats.tp_drops, we
also no increment a stats called po->stats.tp_gap.
B) Every time we successfully enqueue a frame to sk_receive_queue, we record the
value of po->stats.tp_gap in skb->mark. skb->cb would nominally be the place to
record this, but since all the space there is used up, we're overloading
skb->mark. Its safe to do since any enqueued packet is guaranteed to be
unshared at this point, and skb->mark isn't used for anything else in the rx
path to the application. After we record tp_gap in the skb, we zero
po->stats.tp_gap. This allows us to keep a counter of the number of frames lost
between any two enqueued packets
C) When the application goes to dequeue a frame from the packet socket, we look
at skb->mark for that frame. If it is non-zero, we add a cmsg chunk to the
msghdr of level SOL_PACKET and type PACKET_GAPDATA. Its a 32 bit integer that
represents the number of frames lost between this packet and the last previous
frame received.
Note there is a chance that if there is frame loss after a receive, and then the
socket is closed, some gap data might be lost. This is covered by the use of
the PACKET_AUXDATA socket option, which gives total loss data. With a bit of
math, the final gap can be determined that way.
I've tested this patch myself, and it works well.

This patch clean up/fixes for memcg's uncharge soft limit path.
Problems:
Now, res_counter_charge()/uncharge() handles softlimit information at
charge/uncharge and softlimit-check is done when event counter per memcg
goes over limit. Now, event counter per memcg is updated only when
memory usage is over soft limit. Here, considering hierarchical memcg
management, ancesotors should be taken care of.
Now, ancerstors(hierarchy) are handled in charge() but not in uncharge().
This is not good.
Prolems:
1. memcg's event counter incremented only when softlimit hits. That's bad.
It makes event counter hard to be reused for other purpose.
2. At uncharge, only the lowest level rescounter is handled. This is bug.
Because ancesotor's event counter is not incremented, children should
take care of them.
3. res_counter_uncharge()'s 3rd argument is NULL in most case.
ops under res_counter->lock should be small. No "if" sentense is better.
Fixes:
* Removed soft_limit_xx poitner and checks in charge and uncharge.
Do-check-only-when-necessary scheme works enough well without them.
* make event-counter of memcg incremented at every charge/uncharge.
(per-cpu area will be accessed soon anyway)
* All ancestors are checked at soft-limit-check. This is necessary because
ancesotor's event counter may never be modified. Then, they should be
checked at the same time.

Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to
be trimmed when submitting the initial DISCARD ioctl. That means it
is subject to the max_hw_sectors limitation of the HBA which is
much lower than the size of a DISCARD request we can support.
Add a separate max_discard_sectors tunable to limit the size for discard
requests.
We limit the max discard request size in bytes to 32bit as that is the
limit for bio->bi_size. This could be much larger if we had a way to pass
that information through the block layer.

prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
was effectively impossible. This makes it inappropriate for all but
the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
command set. Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
and not the submitter as usual.
It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
the queue supports discard operations or not. blkdev_issue_discard now
allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.
The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
checking for the request being a discard.
Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
yet.

The tracepoint ext4_da_write_pages has a struct mpage_da_data*

patch adds a forward declaration for that struct, so this tracepoint

This is a continuation of the fix in commit 3661d286.

The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.
By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
tracepoints, etc.

The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers,
in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs
registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the
handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is
too late.
Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all
of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the
sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have
the same values reported as in procfs.

Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per
inode.

The following commit made console open fails while booting:
commit b50989dc444599c8b21edc23536fc305f4e9b7d5

tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously
Due to tty release routines run in a workqueue now, error like the
following will be reported while booting:
INIT open /dev/console Input/output error
It also causes hibernation regression to appear as reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14229
The reason is that now there's latency issue with closing, but when
we open a "closing not finished" tty, -EIO will be returned.
Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion:
Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as
the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case
it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and
could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO.
I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console
timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions.
tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty
onto the waitqueue for destruction
tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs.
We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context
fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0
... the end) to occur asynchronously
The USB update in -next would then need a call like
if (tty->cleanup)
tty->cleanup(tty);
at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split
between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final
tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep.
In other words the logic becomes
final kref put
make object unfindable
async
clean it up

This reverts commit 645069299a1c7358cf7330afe293f07552f11a5d.
While the code does not actually break anything, it does not completely follow
RFC5214 yet. After talking back with Fred L. Templin, I agree that completing the
ISATAP specific RS/RA code, would pollute the kernel a lot with code that is better
implemented in userspace.
The kernel should not send RS packages for ISATAP at all.

Sometimes we only want to write pages from a specific super_block,
so allow that to be passed in.
This fixes a problem with commit 56a131dcf7ed36c3c6e36bea448b674ea85ed5bb
causing writeback on all super_blocks on a bdi, where we only really
want to sync a specific sb from writeback_inodes_sb().
