* a lot of regulatory code changes to deal with the

* a change to drop packets while disconnecting from
an AP instead of trying to wait for them
* a new attempt at improving the tailroom accounting
to not kick in too much for performance reasons
* improvements in wireless link statistics

didn't seem necessary for 3.19 (e.g. in hwsim which

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
offloading of switching and routing to hardware.

This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu

2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers. Thanks to Al Viro
and Herbert Xu.

3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
Alpe.

4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
KaFai Lau.

5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
Pavaluca.

6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.

7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.

8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
Nicolas Dichtel.

9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF
programs to actually be attached to sockets. From Alexei
Starovoitov.

10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens.

11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian
Westphal.

12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert.

13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe
driver, from Thomas Lendacky.

14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman.

15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen
Klassert.

16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric
Dumazet. This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the
desired handling of bulk vs. RPC-like traffic.

17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was
received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU. From Eric Dumazet.

18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric
Dumazet.

19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a
consistent way, from Eric Dumazet.

20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu
Varadarajan.

21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko.

Merge tag 'master-2014-11-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next

John W. Linville says:

====================
pull request: wireless-next 2014-11-21

Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.19 stream...

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"It has been a while since my last pull request, so we accumulated
another relatively large set of changes:
* TDLS off-channel support set from Arik/Liad, with some support
patches I did
* custom regulatory fixes from Arik
* minstrel VHT fix (and a small optimisation) from Felix
* add back radiotap vendor namespace support (myself)
* random MAC address scanning for cfg80211/mac80211/hwsim (myself)
* CSA improvements (Luca)
* WoWLAN Net Detect (wake on network found) support (Luca)
* and lots of other smaller changes from many people"

For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says:

"Here's another set of patches for 3.19. Most of it is again fixes and
cleanups to ieee802154 related code from Alexander Aring. We've also got
better handling of hardware error events along with a proper API for HCI
drivers to notify the HCI core of such situations. There's also a minor
fix for mgmt events as well as a sparse warning fix. The code for
sending HCI commands synchronously also gets a fix where we might loose
the completion event in the case of very fast HW (particularly easily
reproducible with an emulated HCI device)."

And...

"Here's another bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19. We've got:

- Various fixes, cleanups and improvements to ieee802154/mac802154
- Support for a Broadcom BCM20702A1 variant
- Lots of lockdep fixes
- Fixed handling of LE CoC errors that should trigger SMP"

For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:

"One ath6kl patch and rest for ath10k, but nothing really major which
stands out. Most notable:

o fix resume (Bartosz)

o firmware restart is now faster and more reliable (Michal)

o it's now possible to test hardware restart functionality without
crashing the firmware using hw-restart parameter with
simulate_fw_crash debugfs file (Michal)"

On top of that...both ath9k and mwifiex get their usual level of
updates. Of note is the ath9k spectral scan work from Oleksij Rempel.

I also pulled from the wireless tree in order to avoid some merge issues.

Please let me know if there are problems!
