 * when a station goes to sleep, the microcode notices
   this and marks the station as asleep
 * when the station is marked asleep, the microcode

   frames to be flushed, and then update the counter
   before sending out the poll response frames. This
   is handled partially in the driver and partially in
   mac80211.

In order to do all this correctly, we need to
 * keep track of how many frames are pending for each
   associated client station (avoid doing it for other
   stations to avoid the atomic ops)
 * tell mac80211 that we driver-block the PS status

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?

In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.

[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle

time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s

real 0m1.022s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s

One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
holding of device done by following chain :

vlan_dev_stop() ->
netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
dev_hold() ...

And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...

A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.

dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
to be able to unlink device in O(1).

After patch :
time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

I'm tired of building ralinks driver everytime I update my kernel.  Whenever I

In dev_change_name() an err variable is used for storing the original
call_netdevice_notifiers() errno (negative) and testing for a rollback
error later, but the test for non-zero is wrong, because the err might
have positive value as well - from dev_alloc_name(). It means the
rollback for a netdevice with a number > 0 will never happen. (The err
test is reordered btw. to make it more readable.)

RX checksumming. Get rid of this stupid limitation.

qeth: rework TSO functions

The maximum TSO size OSA can handle is 15 * PAGE_SIZE. This
patch reduces gso_max_size to this value and adds some sanity
checks and statistics to the TSO implementation.
Since only layer 3 is able to do TSO move all TSO related functions
to the qeth_l3 module.
