Bruno Randolf 86107fd170 nl80211/mac80211: Report signal average
Extend nl80211 to report an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) of the
signal value. Since the signal value usually fluctuates between different
packets, an average can be more useful than the value of the last packet.

This uses the recently added generic EWMA library function.

Bruno Randolf c5485a7e75 lib: Add generic exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) function
This adds generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving
Averages (EWMA). This implementation makes use of a structure which keeps the
EWMA parameters and a scaled up internal representation to reduce rounding
errors.

The original idea for this implementation came from the rt2x00 driver
(rt2x00link.c). I would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and
ath5k code and I hope it can be useful in many other places in the kernel code.

Thomas Graf 93908d1926 ipv6: Expose IFLA_PROTINFO timer values in msecs instead of jiffies
IFLA_PROTINFO exposes timer related per device settings in jiffies.
Change it to expose these values in msecs like the sysctl interface
does.

I did not find any users of IFLA_PROTINFO which rely on any of these
values and even if there are, they are likely already broken because
there is no way for them to reliably convert such a value to another
time format.

John Fastabend 7d8e76bf9a net: zero kobject in rx_queue_release
netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() can decrement and increment
the number of rx queues. For example ixgbe does this as
features and offloads are toggled. Presumably this could
also happen across down/up on most devices if the available
resources changed (cpu offlined).

The kobject needs to be zero'd in this case so that the
state is not preserved across kobject_put()/kobject_init_and_add().

This resolves the following error report.

ixgbe 0000:03:00.0: eth2: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX

Johannes Berg 50a9432dae mac80211: fix powersaving clients races
The code to handle powersaving stations has a race:
when the powersave flag is lifted from a station,
we could transmit a packet that is being processed
for TX at the same time right away, even if there
are other frames queued for it. This would cause
frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only
under the appropriate lock that blocks TX.

Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a
station while frames for it are on the HW queue is
never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get
stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag
for this appropriately.

Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if
the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

Felix Fietkau 2d42efc44e ath9k: store frame information used by aggregation inside the skb tx info
Since the pointers after the rates in the tx info cannot be used anymore
after frames have been queued, this area can be used to store information
that was previously stored in the ath_buf. With these changes, we can delay
the ath_buf assignment in the aggregation code until aggregates are formed.

That will not only make it possible to simplify DMA descriptor setup to
do less rewriting of uncached memory, but will also make it easier to
move aggregation out of the core of the ath9k tx path.

Vasiliy Kulikov dda0b38692 net: ipv4: tcp_probe: cleanup snprintf() use
snprintf() returns number of bytes that were copied if there is no overflow.
This code uses return value as number of copied bytes.  Theoretically format
string '%lu.%09lu %pI4:%u %pI4:%u %d %#x %#x %u %u %u %u\n' may be expanded
up to 163 bytes.  In reality tv.tv_sec is just few bytes instead of 20, 2 ports
are just 5 bytes each instead of 10, length is 5 bytes instead of 10.  The rest
is an unstrusted input.  Theoretically if tv_sec is big then copy_to_user() would
overflow tbuf.

tbuf was increased to fit in 163 bytes.  snprintf() is used to follow return
value semantic.

John Fastabend 9ea19481db net: zero kobject in rx_queue_release
netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() can decrement and increment
the number of rx queues. For example ixgbe does this as
features and offloads are toggled. Presumably this could
also happen across down/up on most devices if the available
resources changed (cpu offlined).

The kobject needs to be zero'd in this case so that the
state is not preserved across kobject_put()/kobject_init_and_add().

This resolves the following error report.

ixgbe 0000:03:00.0: eth2: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX
