iwlwifi: dvm: fix the passive-no-RX workaround
Alex Romosan reported that since the mac80211 changes in
"mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status" and
the subsequent fixes in "mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout
handling" (commits 1672c0e31917 and 89afe614c0c) there's
sometimes an issue connecting to a 5 GHz network with the
iwlwifi DVM driver.
The reason appears to be that since these commits any bad
TX status makes mac80211 immediately try again, causing
all of the authentication attempts to be quickly rejected
by the firmware as it hasn't heard a beacon yet. Before,
it would wait for the timeout regardless of status.
To fix this, invoke the passive-no-RX workaround when not
associated yet as well. This will cause the first frame
to get lost, but then the driver will stop the queues and
the second attempt will only be transmitted after hearing
a beacon, thus delaying it appropriately to not make the
firmware reject it again.

When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume.
The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source

This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less

However, if the addresses of the routers are prespecified in the option,

that each prespecified router has a place to write its timestamp. Other
routers do not add a timestamp, so there will never be a lack of space.

pkt_sched: sch_qfq: remove a useless invocation of qfq_update_eligible
QFQ+ can select for service only 'eligible' aggregates, i.e.,
aggregates that would have started to be served also in the emulated
ideal system. As a consequence, for QFQ+ to be work conserving, at
least one of the active aggregates must be eligible when it is time to
choose the next aggregate to serve.
The set of eligible aggregates is updated through the function
qfq_update_eligible(), which does guarantee that, after its
invocation, at least one of the active aggregates is eligible.
Because of this property, this function is invoked in
qfq_deactivate_agg() to guarantee that at least one of the active
aggregates is still eligible after an aggregate has been deactivated.
In particular, the critical case is when there are other active
aggregates, but the aggregate being deactivated happens to be the only
one eligible.
However, this precaution is not needed for QFQ+ to be work conserving,
because update_eligible() is always invoked also at the beginning of
qfq_choose_next_agg(). This patch removes the additional invocation of
update_eligible() in qfq_deactivate_agg().

pkt_sched: sch_qfq: do not allow virtual time to jump if an aggregate is in service
By definition of (the algorithm of) QFQ+, the system virtual time must
be pushed up only if there is no 'eligible' aggregate, i.e. no
aggregate that would have started to be served also in the ideal
system emulated by QFQ+. QFQ+ serves only eligible aggregates, hence
the aggregate currently in service is eligible. As a consequence, to
decide whether there is no eligible aggregate, QFQ+ must also check
whether there is no aggregate in service.

pkt_sched: sch_qfq: prevent budget from wrapping around after a dequeue
Aggregate budgets are computed so as to guarantee that, after an
aggregate has been selected for service, that aggregate has enough
budget to serve at least one maximum-size packet for the classes it
contains. For this reason, after a new aggregate has been selected
for service, its next packet is immediately dequeued, without any
further control.
The maximum packet size for a class, lmax, can be changed through
qfq_change_class(). In case the user sets lmax to a lower value than
the the size of some of the still-to-arrive packets, QFQ+ will
automatically push up lmax as it enqueues these packets. This
automatic push up is likely to happen with TSO/GSO.
In any case, if lmax is assigned a lower value than the size of some
of the packets already enqueued for the class, then the following
problem may occur: the size of the next packet to dequeue for the
class may happen to be larger than lmax, after the aggregate to which
the class belongs has been just selected for service. In this case,
even the budget of the aggregate, which is an unsigned value, may be
lower than the size of the next packet to dequeue. After dequeueing
this packet and subtracting its size from the budget, the latter would
wrap around.
This fix prevents the budget from wrapping around after any packet
dequeue.

pkt_sched: sch_qfq: serve activated aggregates immediately if the scheduler is empty
If no aggregate is in service, then the function qfq_dequeue() does
not dequeue any packet. For this reason, to guarantee QFQ+ to be work
conserving, a just-activated aggregate must be set as in service
immediately if it happens to be the only active aggregate.
This is done by the function qfq_enqueue().
Unfortunately, the function qfq_add_to_agg(), used to add a class to
an aggregate, does not perform this important additional operation.
In particular, if: 1) qfq_add_to_agg() is invoked to complete the move
of a class from a source aggregate, becoming, for this move, inactive,
to a destination aggregate, becoming instead active, and 2) the
destination aggregate becomes the only active aggregate, then this
aggregate is not however set as in service. QFQ+ remains then in a
non-work-conserving state until a new invocation of qfq_enqueue()
recovers the situation.
This fix solves the problem by moving the logic for setting an
aggregate as in service directly into the function qfq_activate_agg().
Hence, from whatever point qfq_activate_aggregate() is invoked, QFQ+
remains work conserving. Since the more-complex logic of this new
version of activate_aggregate() is not necessary, in qfq_dequeue(), to
reschedule an aggregate that finishes its budget, then the aggregate
is now rescheduled by invoking directly the functions needed.

Between two invocations of make_eligible, the system virtual time may
happen to grow enough that, in its binary representation, a bit with
higher order than 31 flips. This happens especially with
TSO/GSO. Before this fix, the mask used in make_eligible was computed
as (1UL<<index_of_last_flipped_bit)-1, whose value is well defined on
a 64-bit architecture, because index_of_flipped_bit <= 63, but is in
general undefined on a 32-bit architecture if index_of_flipped_bit > 31.

pkt_sched: sch_qfq: properly cap timestamps in charge_actual_service
QFQ+ schedules the active aggregates in a group using a bucket list
(one list per group). The bucket in which each aggregate is inserted
depends on the aggregate's timestamps, and the number
of buckets in a group is enough to accomodate the possible (range of)
values of the timestamps of all the aggregates in the group. For this
property to hold, timestamps must however be computed correctly. One
necessary condition for computing timestamps correctly is that the
number of bits dequeued for each aggregate, while the aggregate is in
service, does not exceed the maximum budget budgetmax assigned to the
aggregate.
For each aggregate, budgetmax is proportional to the number of classes
in the aggregate. If the number of classes of the aggregate is
decreased through qfq_change_class(), then budgetmax is decreased
automatically as well. Problems may occur if the aggregate is in
service when budgetmax is decreased, because the current remaining
budget of the aggregate and/or the service already received by the
aggregate may happen to be larger than the new value of budgetmax. In
this case, when the aggregate is eventually deselected and its
timestamps are updated, the aggregate may happen to have received an
amount of service larger than budgetmax. This may cause the aggregate
to be assigned a higher virtual finish time than the maximum
acceptable value for the last bucket in the bucket list of the group.
This fix introduces a cap that addresses this issue.

Jeff Kirsher says:
===================
This series contains fixes to e1000e and igb.
The e1000e fix resolves an issue at 1000Mbps link speed, where one of the
MAC's internal clocks can be stopped for up to 4us when entering K1 (a
power mode of the MAC-PHY interconnect). If the MAC is waiting for
completion indications for 2 DMA write requests into Host memory
(e.g. descriptor writeback or Rx packet writing) and the
indications occur while the clock is stopped, both indications will be
missed by the MAC causing the MAC to wait for the completion indications
and be unable to generate further DMA write requests. This results in an
apparent hardware hang. The patch works-around the issue by disabling
the de-assertion of the clock request when 1000Mbps link is acquired (K1
must be disabled while doing this).
The igb fix to drop BUILD_BUG_ON check from igb_build_rx_buffer resolves
a build error on s390 devices. The igb driver was throwing a build error
due to the fact that a frame built using build_skb would be larger than 2K.
Since this is not likely to change at any point in the future we are better
off just dropping the check since we already had a check in
igb_set_rx_buffer_len that will just disable the usage of build_skb anyway.
The igb fix for i210 link setup changes the setup copper link function
to use a switch statement, so that the appropriate setup link function
is called for the given PHY types.
Lastly, the igb fix for a lockdep issue in igb_get_i2c_client resolves
the issue by re-factoring the initialization and usage of the i2c_client.

net: ipv6: Don't purge default router if accept_ra=2
Setting net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.accept_ra=2 causes the kernel
to accept RAs even when forwarding is enabled. However, enabling
forwarding purges all default routes on the system, breaking
connectivity until the next RA is received. Fix this by not
purging default routes on interfaces that have accept_ra=2.
