fa9921e46f ipsec: allow to align IPv4 AH on 32 bits
The Linux IPv4 AH stack aligns the AH header on a 64 bit boundary
(like in IPv6). This is not RFC compliant (see RFC4302, Section
3.3.3.2.1), it should be aligned on 32 bits.

For most of the authentication algorithms, the ICV size is 96 bits.
The AH header alignment on 32 or 64 bits gives the same results.

However for SHA-256-128 for instance, the wrong 64 bit alignment results
in adding useless padding in IPv4 AH, which is forbidden by the RFC.

To avoid breaking backward compatibility, we use a new flag
(XFRM_STATE_ALIGN4) do change original behavior.

Initial patch from Dang Hongwu <hongwu.dang@6wind.com> and
Christophe Gouault <christophe.gouault@6wind.com>.

4633427412 e1000e: tx_timeout should not increment for non-hang events
Currently the driver increments the tx_timeout counter (an error counter)
when simply resetting the part with outstanding transmit work pending.
This is an unnecessary count of an error, when all we should be doing is
just resetting the part and discarding the transmits.  With this change the
only increment of tx_timeout is when the stack calls the watchdog reset
function due to a true Tx timeout.

95c3043008 x25: possible skb leak on bad facilities
Originally x25_parse_facilities returned
-1 for an error
 0 meaning 0 length facilities
>0 the length of the facilities parsed.

5ef41308f9 ("x25: Prevent crashing when parsing bad X.25 facilities") introduced more
error checking in x25_parse_facilities however used 0 to indicate bad parsing
a6331d6f9a ("memory corruption in X.25 facilities parsing") followed this further for
DTE facilities, again using 0 for bad parsing.

The meaning of 0 got confused in the callers.
If the facilities are messed up we can't determine where the data starts.
So patch makes all parsing errors return -1 and ensures callers close and don't use the skb further.

4f3123366f mac80211: as a 4-addr station, do not receive packets for other stations
Since 4-addr frames completely override the source address which will
make it into the converted 802.3 frames, receiving frames for other
4-addr stations will confuse the bridging code.

To be able to handle traffic for all connected devices, the bridge
code will automatically turn on promiscuous mode, which triggers
this problem.

fc7c976dc7 mac80211: fix the skb cloned check in the tx path
Using skb_header_cloned to check if it's safe to write to the skb is not
enough - mac80211 also touches the tailroom of the skb.
Initially this check was only used to increase a counter, however this
commit changed the code to also skip skb data reallocation if no extra
head/tailroom was needed:

b23b025fe2 mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.
This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work,
and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is
the current operating channel.

* Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL
  and is-scanning flags instead.

* Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured
  for the operating channel.

* Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c  Instead, only call
  appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels.
  Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work,
  and disable it when we are done.

* Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and
  ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it
  ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead.

* Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel.

* Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel
  transitions.  Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and
  re-enable beaconing.  We're going to be there for 200ms,
  so seems like some useful beaconing could happen.
  Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software
  scan, and disable it when we are done.

* Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish
  so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc.

* Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local
  channel, so that mlme can take a look.

cb8d61de2d ath9k: add additional checks for the baseband hang detection
Since even with the latest changes the false positive issue of the baseband
hang check is not fully solved yet, additional checks are needed.
If the baseband hang occurs, the rx_clear signal will be stuck to high, so
we can use the cycle counters to confirm it.
With this patch, a hardware reset is only triggered if the baseband hang
check returned true three times in a row, with a beacon interval between
each check and if the busy time was also 99% or more during the check
intervals.

8e5461041f ath: Fix clearing of secondary key cache entry for TKIP
All register writes to the key cache have to be done in pairs. However,
the clearing of a separate MIC entry with hardware revisions that use
combined MIC key layout did not do that with one of the registers. Add
the matching register write to the following register to make the KEY4
register write actually complete.

This is mostly a fix for a theoretical issue since the incorrect entry
that could potentially be left behind in the key cache would not match
with received frames. Anyway, better make this code clean the entry
correctly using paired register writes.

8c99f69182 mac80211: do not restart ps timer during scan or offchannel
While leaving oper channel, STA informs sleep state to AP to
stop sending data. Till sending ack for the nullfunc, AP
continues to send the data to STA which restarts ps_timer that
is causing unnecessary nullfunc exchange on timer expiry
when the STA was already moved to offchannel. So don't restart ps_timer
on data reception during scan. This issue was identified by
the following warning.
