6021b28958 wl12xx: Fix CMD_TEST regression via netlink.
CMD_TEST via netlink API has been broken since
e29c3f59cfbc38c3b481a2694b08962da19c4664: cmd and acx interface rework.

The user of the interface sends the request in a buffer without the
wl12xx_command header but expects the response to have the wl12xx_command
header (with id and status).

This patch reverts the e29c3f5 commit for cmd.c:wl12xx_cmd_test
and implements the needed wrapper functionality in netlink.c. Now the
API of wl12xx_cmd_test and rest of wl12xx_cmd_* commands in cmd.c are
similar.

ff25839bf0 wl12xx: cmd and acx interface rework
Rework cmd and acx interfaces, it was just too confusing earlier. Now
all commands need to contain all the needed headers, either just cmd
headers or both cmd and acx headers. This accomplish to remove the
extra copy done for each command. The interfaces are now properly
documented as well.

Also try to make all commands safe for DMA transfers. I might have missed
some, but most of them should be fixed now.

And this is not all! As a free bonus you will also get some cosmetic
cleanups and code reorganisation. Order today!

e594e96e8a cxgb3: Fix crash caused by stashing wrong netdev_queue
Commit c3a8c5b6 ("cxgb3: move away from LLTX") exposed a bug in how
cxgb3 looks up the netdev_queue it stashes away in a qset during
initialization.  For multiport devices, the TX queue index it uses is
offset by the first_qset index of each port.  This leads to a crash
once LLTX is removed, since hard_start_xmit is called with one TX
queue lock held, while the TX reclaim timer task grabs a different
(wrong) TX queue lock when it frees skbs.

Fix this by removing the first_qset offset used to look up the TX
queue passed into t3_sge_alloc_qset() from setup_sge_qsets().

8faa2a786a ixgbe: Fix coexistence of FCoE and Flow Director in 82599
Fix coexistence of Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Flow Director (FDIR)
in 82599 and remove the disabling of FDIR when FCoE is enabled.

Currently, FDIR is turned off when FCoE is enabled under the assumption that
FCoE is always enabled with DCB being turned on. However, FDIR does not have
to be turned off all the time when FCoE is enabled since FCoE can be enabled
without DCB being turned on, e.g., use link pause only. This patch makes sure
that when DCB is turned on or off, FDIR is turned on or off correspondingly;
and when FCoE is enabled, it does not disable FDIR, rather, it will have FDIR
set up properly so FCoE and FDIR can coexist regardless of DCB being on or off.

                                if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                        wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                ...
                             }

If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.

The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:
	net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c
	net/irda/af_irda.c
	net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c
	net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c

1b614fb9a0 netpoll: Fix carrier detection for drivers that are using phylib
Using early netconsole and gianfar driver this error pops up:

  netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier

It appears that net/core/netpoll.c:netpoll_setup() is using
cond_resched() in a loop waiting for a carrier.

The thing is that cond_resched() is a no-op when system_state !=
SYSTEM_RUNNING, and so drivers/net/phy/phy.c's state_queue is never
scheduled, therefore link detection doesn't work.

I belive that the main problem is in cond_resched()[1], but despite
how the cond_resched() story ends, it might be a good idea to call
msleep(1) instead of cond_resched(), as suggested by Andrew Morton.

47ab3840a3 p54: tx refused but queue active
In the mainline kernel, p54usb will fail because the TX queue length can
become < 0. This problem has been reported as Bugzilla #13725. The failure
is expressed by the following message in the logs:

WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1325 ieee80211_tx+0x23c/0x298 [mac80211]()
Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC
tx refused but queue active

This problem has been recently observed in the wireless-testing tree, where
a full solution is being tested. That fix is too invasive for 2.6.31-rcX,
but the simple change supplied here will prevent the failure.

804ef71ee1 Atheros Kconfig needs to be dependent on WLAN_80211
Atheros top level menu needs a "depends WLAN_80211" to properly indent
within menuconfig and xconfig interfaces.

This is purely a visual issue but it effects all subsequent drivers.
The issue is the top level menu does not include a dependency on
WLAN_80211 so within the tree structure, Atheros is at the same level as
WLAN_80211 but when WLAN_80211 collapsed, the menu disappears along with
all subsequent drives, so it is really a subordinate.
