<title>net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding</title>

<id>f663dd9aaf9ed124f25f0f8452edf238f087ad50</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:

- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
  instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
  lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
  control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
  watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
  when tso is disabled for lower device.

Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.

With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.

In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

L2 fowarding offload will bypass the rx handler of real device. This will make
the packet could not be forwarded to macvtap device. Another problem is the
dev_hard_start_xmit() called for macvtap does not have any synchronization.

Fix this by forbidding L2 forwarding for macvtap.

====================
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"I have a fix from Javier for mac80211_hwsim when used with wmediumd
userspace, and a fix from Felix for buffering in AP mode."

For the NFC bits, Samuel says:

"This pull request only contains one fix for a regression introduced with
commit e29a9e2ae165620d. Without this fix, we can not establish a p2p link
in target mode. Only initiator mode works."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"It only includes new device IDs so it's not vital. If you have a pull
request to net.git anyway, I'd happy to have this in."

bnx2x triggers warnings with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2253 at lib/dma-debug.c:887 check_unmap+0xf8/0x920()
  bnx2x 0000:28:00.0: DMA-API: device driver frees DMA memory with
  different size [device address=0x00000000da2b389e] [map size=1490 bytes]
  [unmap size=66 bytes]

The reason is that bnx2x splits a TSO BD into two BDs (headers + data)
using one DMA mapping for both, but it uses only the length of the first
BD when unmapping.

This patch fixes the bug by unmapping the whole length of the two BDs.

Starting with commit 80c33dd "net: add might_sleep() call to napi_disable"
bnx2x fails the might_sleep tests causing a stack trace to appear whenever
the driver is unloaded, as local_bh_disable() is being called before
napi_disable().

This changes the locking schematics related to CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL,
preventing the need for calling local_bh_disable() and thus eliminating
the issue.

<title>hso: fix handling of modem port SERIAL_STATE notifications</title>

<id>e5e97ee956d8c5ed2fc5877d29dee17a6a59de8e</id>
<content type='text'>
The existing serial state notification handling expected older Option
devices, having a hardcoded assumption that the Modem port was always
USB interface #2.  That isn't true for devices from the past few years.

hso_serial_state_notification is a local cache of a USB Communications
Interface Class SERIAL_STATE notification from the device, and the
USB CDC specification (section 6.3, table 67 "Class-Specific Notifications")
defines wIndex as the USB interface the event applies to.  For hso
devices this will always be the Modem port, as the Modem port is the
only port which is set up to receive them by the driver.

So instead of always expecting USB interface #2, instead validate the
notification with the actual USB interface number of the Modem port.
