This is quite a bit of code that logically depends here since
it has to deal with all the remain-on-channel logic.

If a mgmt-tx operation is aborted before it runs, the wrong
cookie is reported back to userspace, and the ack_skb gets
leaked since the frame is freed directly instead of freeing
it using ieee80211_free_txskb(). Fix that.

When a new station is added to AP/GO interfaces the default behaviour
is for it to be added authenticated and associated, due to backwards
compatibility. To prevent that, the driver must be able to do that
(setting the NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE feature flag) and
userspace must set the flag mask to auth|assoc and clear the set.
Handle this quirk in the API entirely in nl80211, and always push the
full flags to the drivers. NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE is
still required for userspace to be allowed to set the mask including
those bits, but after checking that add both flags to the mask and
set in case userspace didn't set them otherwise.
This obsoletes the mac80211 code handling this difference, no other
driver is currently using these flags.

add ieee80211_iter_keys_rcu() to iterate over uploaded
keys in atomic context (when rcu is locked)
The station removal code removes the keys only after
calling synchronize_net(), so it's not safe to iterate
the keys at this point (and postponing the actual key
deletion with call_rcu() might result in some
badly-ordered ops calls).
Add a flag to indicate a station is being removed,
and skip the configured keys if it's set.

This can happen when the driver needs to send less frames
than expected and then needs to close the SP.
Mac80211 still needs to set the more_data properly based
on its buffer state (ps_tx_buffer and buffered frames on
other TIDs).
To that end, refactor the code that delivers frames upon
uAPSD trigger frames to be able to get only the more_data
bit without actually delivering those frames in case the
driver is just asking to set a NDP with EOSP and MORE_DATA
bit properly set.

In this attribute's documentation, it was not clear whether the delay
started counting when WoWLAN net-detect was enabled or when the system
was suspended. The correct answer is that it starts when the system
suspends (which is when, in practice, the scan is scheduled). Clarify
that in the nl80211.h documentation.

This patch allows to do

Without that functionality, the only way to control the autonegotiation

holds the administrator assigned VF MAC addr. The random

The existing ndo_set_mac_address only copies the new MAC addr
and didn't set the new MAC addr to the HW. The correct way is
to delete the existing default MAC filter from HW and add
the new one. Because of RFS filters are also dependent on the
default mac filter l2 context, the driver must go thru
close_nic() to delete the default MAC and RFS filters, then
open_nic() to set the default MAC address to HW.

This patch series adds a virtio transport for AF_VSOCK (net/vmw_vsock/).
AF_VSOCK is designed for communication between virtual machines and
hypervisors. It is currently only implemented for VMware's VMCI transport.
This series implements the proposed virtio-vsock device specification from
here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtio.devel/855
Most of the work was done by Asias He and Gerd Hoffmann a while back. I have
picked up the series again.
The QEMU userspace changes are here:
https://github.com/stefanha/qemu/commits/vsock
Why virtio-vsock?
-----------------
Guest<->host communication is currently done over the virtio-serial device.
This makes it hard to port sockets API-based applications and is limited to
static ports.
virtio-vsock uses the sockets API so that applications can rely on familiar
SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM semantics. Applications on the host can easily
connect to guest agents because the sockets API allows multiple connections to
a listen socket (unlike virtio-serial). This simplifies the guest<->host
communication and eliminates the need for extra processes on the host to
arbitrate virtio-serial ports.
Overview
--------
This series adds 3 pieces:
1. virtio_transport_common.ko - core virtio vsock code that uses vsock.ko
2. virtio_transport.ko - guest driver
3. drivers/vhost/vsock.ko - host driver
Howto
-----
The following kernel options are needed:
CONFIG_VSOCKETS=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_VSOCKETS=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_VSOCKETS_COMMON=y
CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK=m
Launch QEMU as follows:
# qemu ... -device vhost-vsock-pci,id=vhost-vsock-pci0,guest-cid=3
Guest and host can communicate via AF_VSOCK sockets. The host's CID (address)
is 2 and the guest is automatically assigned a CID (use VMADDR_CID_ANY (-1) to
bind to it).
Status
------
There are a few design changes I'd like to make to the virtio-vsock device:
1. The 3-way handshake isn't necessary over a reliable transport (virtqueue).
Spoofing packets is also impossible so the security aspects of the 3-way
handshake (including syn cookie) add nothing. The next version will have a
single operation to establish a connection.
2. Credit-based flow control doesn't work for SOCK_DGRAM since multiple clients
can transmit to the same listen socket. There is no way for the clients to
coordinate buffer space with each other fairly. The next version will drop
credit-based flow control for SOCK_DGRAM and only rely on best-effort
delivery. SOCK_STREAM still has guaranteed delivery.
3. In the next version only the host will be able to establish connections
(i.e. to connect to a guest agent). This is for security reasons since
there is currently no ability to provide host services only to certain
guests. This also matches how AF_VSOCK works on modern VMware hypervisors.
