Commit "fib: RCU conversion of fib_lookup()" removed rcu_read_lock() from
__mkroute_output but left a couple of calls to rcu_read_unlock() in there.
This causes lockdep to complain that the rcu_read_unlock() call in
__ip_route_output_key causes a lock inbalance and quickly crashes the
kernel. The below fixes this for me.

Do not set num_rx_queues in netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() some
drivers will increase the real_num_rx_queues later due to a feature
changes or available interrupts increasing. By setting num_rx_queues
here this ends up creating a cap on the number of rx queues
available.
For example the ixgbe driver sets the max number of queues it intends
to use ever then sets the current number in use with the
netif_set_num_{rx|tx}_queues calls. With the current implementation
the number of rx queues gets limited so when a feature such as DCB
or FCoE is enabled the queues are no longer available.
kobjects will only be allocated for real_num_rx_queues so the waste
in memory is minimal.

This is the second step for neighbour RCU conversion.
(first was commit d6bf7817 : RCU conversion of neigh hash table)
neigh_lookup() becomes lockless, but still take a reference on found
neighbour. (no more read_lock()/read_unlock() on tbl->lock)
struct neighbour gets an additional rcu_head field and is freed after an
RCU grace period.
Future work would need to eventually not take a reference on neighbour
for temporary dst (DST_NOCACHE), but this would need dst->_neighbour to
use a noref bit like we did for skb->_dst.

When multiple interfaces are actively trying
to associate with the same BSS, they may both
find that the BSS isn't there and then try to
unlink it. This can cause errors since the
unlinking code can't currently deal with items
that have already been unlinked.
Normally this doesn't happen as most people
don't try to use multiple station interfaces
that associate at the same time too.
Fix this by using the list entry as a flag to
see if the item is still on a list.

This is partial revert and fix for commit
85f72bc839705294b32b6c16b491c0422f0a71b3 "mac80211: only cancel
software-based scans on suspend"
When cfg80211 request the scan and mac80211 perform some management work,
we defer the scan request. We do not canceling such requests when calling
ieee80211_scan_cancel(), because of SCAN_SW_SCANNING bit check just
before the call. So fix that problem.
Another problem, which commit 85f72bc839705294b32b6c16b491c0422f0a71b3
tries to solve, is we can not cancel HW scan. Hence patch make
ieee80211_scan_cancel() ignore HW scan (see code comments). Keeping
local->mtx lock assures that the deferred scan will not become
"working" HW scan.

When roaming while we have active BA session,
we can end up transmitting delBA frames to
the old AP while we're already on the new AP's

Simply avoid sending those frames, but still
tear down the internal session state, since
they are not really necessary anyway as we

We never delete the addBA response timer, which
is typically fine, but if the station it belongs
to is deleted very quickly after starting the BA
session, before the peer had a chance to reply,
the timer may fire after the station struct has
been freed already. Therefore, we need to delete
the timer in a suitable spot -- best when the
session is being stopped (which will happen even
then) in which case the delete will be a no-op
most of the time.
I've reproduced the scenario and tested the fix.
This fixes the crash reported at

The IGMP specs states that if the system receives a
membership report, it shouldn't send another for the
next minute. However, if a link failure happens right
after that, the backup slave and the switch connected
to this slave will not know about the multicast and
the traffic will hang for about a minute.
This patch fixes it to rejoin multicast groups immediately

This is the first step for RCU conversion of neigh code.
Next patches will convert hash_buckets[] and "struct neighbour" to RCU
protected objects.
Thanks
[PATCH net-next] net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table
Instead of storing hash_buckets, hash_mask and hash_rnd in "struct
neigh_table", a new structure is defined :
struct neigh_hash_table {
struct neighbour **hash_buckets;
unsigned int hash_mask;
__u32 hash_rnd;
struct rcu_head rcu;
};
And "struct neigh_table" has an RCU protected pointer to such a
neigh_hash_table.
This means the signature of (*hash)() function changed: We need to add a
third parameter with the actual hash_rnd value, since this is not
anymore a neigh_table field.

In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)
We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)
This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped
accounting), thus reverting it.

Be consistent and use the wk->chan instead of the
local->hw.conf.channel for the association done work.
This prevents any possible races against channel changes
while we run this work.
In the case that the race did happen we would be initializing
the bit rates for the new AP under the assumption of a wrong
channel and in the worst case, wrong band. This could lead
to trying to assuming we could use CCK frames on 5 GHz, for
example.

The locking around ieee80211_recalc_smps is
buggy -- it cannot acquire another interface's
mutex while the iflist mutex is held because
another code path could be holding the iface
mutex and trying to acquire the iflist mutex.
But the locking is also unnecessary, we only
check "ifmgd->associated" as a bool, and don't
use the pointer (in check_mgd_smps).

Each family may have some amount of boilerplate
locking code that applies to most, or even all,
commands.
This allows a family to handle such things in
a more generic way, by allowing it to
a) include private flags in each operation
b) specify a pre_doit hook that is called,
before an operation's doit() callback and
may return an error directly,
c) specify a post_doit hook that can undo
locking or similar things done by pre_doit,
and finally
d) include two private pointers in each info
struct passed between all these operations
including doit(). (It's two because I'll
need two in nl80211 -- can be extended.)

Some drivers cannot handle multiple retry rates specified by the rc
algorithm but instead use their own retry table (for example rt2800).
However, if such a device registers itself with a max_rates value of 1
the rc algorithm cannot make use of the extended information the device
can provide about retried rates. On the other hand, if a device
registers itself with a max_rates value > 1 the rc algorithm assumes
that the device can handle multi rate retries.
Fix this issue by introducing another hw parameter max_report_rates that
can be set to a different value then max_rates to indicate if a device
is capable of reporting more rates then specified in max_rates.

On association to an AP, after receiving beacons, the beacon_crc value is set.
The beacon_crc value is not reset in disassociation, but the BSS data may be
expired at a later point. When associating again, it's possible that a
beacon for the AP is not received, resulting in the beacon_ies to remain NULL.
After association, further beacons will not update the beacon data, as the
crc value of the beacon has not changed, and the beacon_crc still holds a
value matching the beacon. The beacon_ies will remain forever null.
One of the results of this is that WLAN power save cannot be entered, the STA
will remain foreven in active mode.
Fix this by adding a validation flag for the beacon_crc, which is cleared on
association.
