when setting up the tx descriptors for the hardware we must account for any

len is the length of the frame in the air (including FCS but no padding) and
buffer len is the length of the buffer (including padding, but without FCS).
changing the way ah_setup_tx_desc is called: now excluding the FCS, since it's
easier to add that in the function where we need it.
before this fix we sent trailing zero bytes after the packet (because frame len
included the padding) which was not a big problem without WEP, but with WEP
this resultes in a wrong WEP checksum and the packet is discarded - which is
how i noticed at all ;)
an easy way to run into header padding problems, btw, is to connect to a QoS
(WME) enabled access point (eg. madwifi) - QoS data frames are 2 byte longer
and will require padding.

is emitting the packet is going to pre-fragment the packet.

to fragment locally generated tunnel-mode packet.
For now this patch does the second part which should make it
work for the IPsec host case.

[NDISC]: Fix race in generic address resolution
Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix
for this bug. He also validated this version of this fix.
The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we
grab references when dropping the lock lock to call
neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of
control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing
corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access
to the skb.
The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock
during the ->solicit() call. I looked at all of the ndisc_ops
implementations and this seems workable. The only case that needs
special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit(). It
wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in
neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation. We can simply
remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock
as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection
afforded by the existing read locking.
The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the
neigh is locked or not.

hci_ldisc: fix null pointer deref
Arjan:
With the help of kerneloops.org I've spotted a nice little interaction
between the TTY layer and the bluetooth code, however the tty layer is not
something I'm all too familiar with so I rather ask than brute-force fix the
code incorrectly.
The raw details are at:
http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=uart_flush_buffer
What happens is that, on closing the bluetooth tty, the tty layer goes
into the release_dev() function, which first does a bunch of stuff, then
sets the file->private_data to NULL, does some more stuff and then calls the
ldisc close function. Which in this case, is hci_uart_tty_close().
Now, hci_uart_tty_close() calls hci_uart_close() which clears some
internal bit, and then calls hci_uart_flush()... which calls back to the
tty layers' uart_flush_buffer() function. (in drivers/bluetooth/hci_tty.c
around line 194) Which then WARN_ON()'s because that's not allowed/supposed
to be called this late in the shutdown of the port....
Should the bluetooth driver even call this flush function at all??
David:
This seems to be what happens: Hci_uart_close() flushes using
hci_uart_flush(). Subsequently, in hci_dev_do_close(), (one step in
hci_unregister_dev()), hci_uart_flush() is called again. The comment in
uart_flush_buffer(), relating to the WARN_ON(), indicates you can't flush
after the port is closed; which sounds reasonable. I think hci_uart_close()
should set hdev->flush to NULL before returning. Hci_dev_do_close() does
check for this. The code path is rather involved and I'm not entirely clear
of all steps, but I think that's what should be done.

[AX25] ax25_timer: use mod_timer instead of add_timer
According to one of Jann's OOPS reports it looks like
BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer)) triggers during add_timer()
in ax25_start_t1timer(). This patch changes current use
of: init_timer(), add_timer() and del_timer() to
setup_timer() with mod_timer(), which should be safer
anyway.

This lockdep report shows that ax25_route_lock is taken for reading in
softirq context, and for writing in process context with BHs enabled.
So, to make this safe, all write_locks in ax25_route.c are changed to
_bh versions.

[AX25] af_ax25: remove sock lock in ax25_info_show()

...
shows that ax25_list_lock and slock-AF_AX25 are taken in different
order: ax25_info_show() takes slock (bh_lock_sock(ax25->sk)) while
ax25_list_lock is held, so reversely to other functions. To fix this
the sock lock should be moved to ax25_info_start(), and there would
be still problem with breaking ax25_list_lock (it seems this "proper"
order isn't optimal yet). But, since it's only for reading proc info
it seems this is not necessary (e.g. ax25_send_to_raw() does similar
reading without this lock too).
So, this patch removes sock lock to avoid deadlock possibility; there
is also used sock_i_ino() function, which reads sk_socket under proper
read lock. Additionally printf format of this i_ino is changed to %lu.

Use key/offset caching to change /proc/net/route (use by iputils route)
from O(n^2) to O(n). This improves performance from 30sec with 160,000
routes to 1sec.
