commit 60c28cf18f970e1c1bd40d615596eeab6efbd9d7 upstream.

There was a typo in commit 8675f9 (wlcore/wl12xx/wl18xx: verify
multi-role and single-role fw versions), which was causing the
multirole firmware for wl127x (WiLink6) to be rejected.  The actual
minimum version needed for wl127x multirole is 6.5.7.0.42.

Pull networking update from David Miller:

 1) Checkpoint/restarted TCP sockets now can properly propagate the TCP
    timestamp offset.  From Andrey Vagin.

 2) VMWARE VM VSOCK layer, from Andy King.

 3) Much improved support for virtual functions and SR-IOV in bnx2x,
    from Ariel ELior.

 4) All protocols on ipv4 and ipv6 are now network namespace aware, and
    all the compatability checks for initial-namespace-only protocols is
    removed.  Thanks to Tom Parkin for helping deal with the last major
    holdout, L2TP.

 5) IPV6 support in netpoll and network namespace support in pktgen,
    from Cong Wang.

 6) Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) and Multiple VLAN Registration
    Protocol (MVRP) support, from David Ward.

 7) Compute packet lengths more accurately in the packet scheduler, from
    Eric Dumazet.

 8) Use per-task page fragment allocator in skb_append_datato_frags(),
    also from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Add support for connection tracking labels in netfilter, from
    Florian Westphal.

10) Fix default multicast group joining on ipv6, and add anti-spoofing
    checks to 6to4 and 6rd.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

11) Make ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation memory limits more reasonable in modern
    times, rearrange inet frag datastructures for better cacheline
    locality, and move more operations outside of locking.  From Jesper
    Dangaard Brouer.

12) Instead of strict master &lt;--&gt; slave relationships, allow arbitrary
    scenerios with "upper device lists".  From Jiri Pirko.

13) Improve rate limiting accuracy in TBF and act_police, also from Jiri
    Pirko.

14) Add a BPF filter netfilter match target, from Willem de Bruijn.

15) Orphan and delete a bunch of pre-historic networking drivers from
    Paul Gortmaker.

16) Add TSO support for GRE tunnels, from Pravin B SHelar.  Although
    this still needs some minor bug fixing before it's %100 correct in
    all cases.

17) Handle unresolved IPSEC states like ARP, with a resolution packet
    queue.  From Steffen Klassert.

18) Remove TCP Appropriate Byte Count support (ABC), from Stephen
    Hemminger.  This was long overdue.

19) Support SO_REUSEPORT, from Tom Herbert.

20) Allow locking a socket BPF filter, so that it cannot change after a
    process drops capabilities.

21) Add VLAN filtering to bridge, from Vlad Yasevich.

22) Bring ipv6 on-par with ipv4 and do not cache neighbour entries in
    the ipv6 routes, from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki.

<title>mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40</title>

<id>e1a0c6b3a4b27ed5f21291d0bbee2167ec201ef5</id>
<content type='text'>
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first
step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag
in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field
indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the
station. Of course, make all drivers use it.

To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get
the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities,
so it can set up the new bandwidth field.

If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use,
also set the bandwidth accordingly.

Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as
the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of
the current setting.

While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not
ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it
really happens...)

modules.

Commit afb43e6d (wlcore: remove if_ops from platform_data)

There are only a few drivers that use HW scan, and
all of those don't need a non-idle transition before
starting the scan -- some don't even care about idle
at all. Remove the flag and code associated with it.

The only driver that really actually needed this is
wl1251 and it can just do it itself in the hw_scan
callback -- implement that.

<content type='text'>
In wl18xx, we use a new ACX command in order to set the remote
supported rates, once we know it (ie. after association).  The wl12xx
firmware doesn't support changing the rates after the STA is started,
so we need to use all supported rates.

Commit 530abe19 (wlcore: add ACX_PEER_CAP command) broke that by using
wlvif-&gt;rate_set when starting the STA role.
