Ian Schram 3a33cc108d mac80211_hwsim.c: fix: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000370
I was looking at this out of interest, but I'm in no way familiar with
the code.

Looks to me that the error handling code in mac80211_hwsim is awkward.
Which leads to it calling ieee80211_unregister_hw even when
ieee80211_register_hw failed.

The function has a for loop where it generates all simulated radios.
when something fails, the error handling will call mac80211_hwsim_free
which frees all simulated radios who's pointer isn't zero. However the
information stored is insufficient to determine whether or not the call
to ieee80211_register_hw succeeded or not for a specific radio. The
included patch makes init_mac80211_hwsim clean up the current simulated
radio, and then calls into mac80211_hwsim_free to clean up all the
radios that did succeed.

This however doesn't explain why the rate control registration failed..
build tested this, but had some problems reproducing the original
problem.

David S. Miller e8a0464cc9 netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.

Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

Pierre Ossman ad3868b2ec mmc,sdio: helper function for transfer padding
There are a lot of crappy controllers out there that cannot handle
all the request sizes that the MMC/SD/SDIO specifications require.
In case the card driver can pad the data to overcome the problems,
this commit adds a helper that calculates how much that padding
should be.

A corresponding helper is also added for SDIO, but it can also deal
with all the complexities of splitting up a large transfer efficiently.

Johannes Berg f591fa5dbb mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers
This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to
QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code
because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign
sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management
frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed
through mac80211's TX path.

This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to
not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked
for proper sequence numbers on beacons.

It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path
so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.

Ivo van Doorn 9a61319512 rt2x00: Fix NULL pointer error in adhoc/master mode
As soon as an interface is enabled, and that interface is in adhoc or master mode,
the device will start raising beacondone interrupts. But before the first interrupt is
raised, mac80211 will probably not have send any beacons to the device yet, which
results in a NULL pointer error when the skb is being freed.

Note that the "raise beacondone interrupts without a beacon" is also a bug,
and will be addressed later. The more important bug however is preventing
the NULL pointer failt itself, since there might be other conditions that could trigger
it as well.

Some early versions of RTL8187B devices have a USB ID of 0x8187
rather than the 0x8189 of later models. In addition, it appears
that these early units also must be programmed with lower power.
Previous patches used the Product ID string to detect this situation,
but did not address the low power question. This patch uses the
hardware version and sets the power accordingly.
