Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs
on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement
mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a
scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that
the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received
(both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the
request mode is table, this information is optional.
In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel
dwell time for the measurement.In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or
passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the
channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time
to scan results information.Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

…jic23/iio into staging-linus
Jonathan writes:
Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.7 cycle.
This includes one tracked regression (Arnd's patch for the ad7606).
The other two have I think always been broken.* inv_mpu6050
- Fix a use after free in the ACPI code.
* ad5933
- The code for setting the cycles had a bug that meant it was simply wrong.
* ad7606_spi
- Fix a regression that got introduced in a buggy cleanup of a sparse
warning.

This reverts commit b5e12ec38331 ("Staging: rtl8188eu: rtw_efuse: Use
sizeof type *pointer instead of sizeof type.").This commit is wrong, the rtw_malloc2d helper function takes the size of
the array elements as its 3th argument, whereas sizeof(*eFuseWord)
gives the size of a pointer instead of the size of a u16.Since sizeof(void *) > sizeof(u16) this has no adverse effects, but it
is still wrong.Cc: Sandhya Bankar

As pointed out by Geert Uytterhoeven, the patch was incorrect
and breaks the driver, which was fortunately pointed out by

drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7606_spi.c:34: warning: ‘data’ is used uninitialized in this functionThe effect of the patch is that the data is copied into
a random memory location (from the uninitialized pointer)
instead of being byteswapped in place.This adds the initialization for the 'data' variable back
to restore the original behavior.Cc: Ksenija Stanojevic

Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
"This is the second group of code for the 4.7 merge window. It looks
large, but only in one sense. I'll get to that in a minute. The list
of changes here breaks down as follows:- Dynamic counter infrastructure in the IB drivers
This is a sysfs based code to allow free form access to the
hardware counters RDMA devices might support so drivers don't need
to code this up repeatedly themselves- SendOnlyFullMember multicast support
- IB router support
- A couple misc fixes
- The big item on the list: hfi1 driver updates, plus moving the hfi1
driver out of stagingThere was a group of 15 patches in the hfi1 list that I thought I had
in the first pull request but they weren't. So that added to the
length of the hfi1 section here.As far as these go, everything but the hfi1 is pretty straight
forward.The hfi1 is, if you recall, the driver that Al had complaints about
how it used the write/writev interfaces in an overloaded fashion. The
write portion of their interface behaved like the write handler in the
IB stack proper and did bi-directional communications. The writev
interface, on the other hand, only accepts SDMA request structures.
The completions for those structures are sent back via an entirely
different event mechanism.With the security patch, we put security checks on the write
interface, however, we also knew they would be going away soon. Now,
we've converted the write handler in the hfi1 driver to use ioctls
from the IB reserved magic area for its bidirectional communications.
With that change, Intel has addressed all of the items originally on
their TODO when they went into staging (as well as many items added to
the list later).As such, I moved them out, and since they were the last item in the
staging/rdma directory, and I don't have immediate plans to use the
staging area again, I removed the staging/rdma area.Because of the move out of staging, as well as a series of 5 patches
in the hfi1 driver that removed code people thought should be done in
a different way and was optional to begin with (a snoop debug
interface, an eeprom driver for an eeprom connected directory to their
hfi1 chip and not via an i2c bus, and a few other things like that),
the line count, especially the removal count, is high"* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: (56 commits)

smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before
we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr()

The deletion of a cdev is not a fence for holding off references to the
structure. The driver attempts to delete the cdev and then proceeds to
free the parent structure, the hfi1_devdata, or dd. This can potentially
lead to a kernel panic in situations where a user has an FD for the cdev
open, and the pci device gets removed. If the user then closes the FD
there will be a NULL dereference when trying to do put on the cdev's
kobject.Fix this by pointing the cdev's kobject.parent at a new kobject embedded
in its parent structure. Also take a reference when the device is opened
and put it back when it is closed.Reviewed-by: Mitko Haralanov

hfi1 current exports a cdev that can be used to target all of the hfi's

that the devices could be on different subnets. This is a problem that

to create a context.Remove the multi-purpose cdev leaving a dedicated cdev for each port.
Also remove the striping capability that is dependent upon the user

error before the request counter was increased, the state of

Commit e88c9271d9f8 ("IB/hfi1: Fix buffer cache corner case which
may cause corruption") introduced a bug which may cause a reference
count of a interval RB node to be leaked in the case where an SDMA
transfer from that node completes at the same time as the node is
being extended.If a node is being extended, it is first removed from the RB tree
in order to be processed without the risk of an invalidation event
removing the node at the same time.If a SDMA completion happens during that time, the completion handler
will fail to find the node in the RB tree and, therefore, fail to
correctly decrement its refcount. This leaves the node in the tree and
its pages pinned for the duration of the user process.To prevent this from happening the io vector adds a reference to the
RB node, which is used during the SDMA completion instead of looking
up the node in the RB tree.This change adds a performance improvement as a side effect by avoiding
the RB tree lookup.Fixes: e88c9271d9f8 ("IB/hfi1: Fix buffer cache corner case which may cause corruption")

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel cycle v4.7:Core infrastructural changes:
- Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages.
This means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than (as we
did before) try to emulate it by switching the line to an input to
get high impedance.This is also documented throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt
for those of you who did not understand one word of what I just
wrote.- Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and unitelligible
ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another
evolutional artifact from the time when the GPIO subsystem was
unmaintained.Archs can now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
arches will trickle in for the next kernel. Some minor archs ACKed
the changes immediately so these are included in this pull request.- Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device for
storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H Unicore and
a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in ALSA SoC, Input,
serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.- The initialization now reads the input/output state of the GPIO
lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this callback is
implemented - whether the line is input or output. This also
reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".- It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names, from
the device tree. (Platform data has been supported for a while).
I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI one of those days.
This makes is possible to get sensible producer names for e.g.
GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.New drivers:
- New driver for the Loongson1.
- The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.
- The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.
- The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.
Driver improvements:
- MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and now
also suppors level-triggered interrupts.- 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback
- AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.
- TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
support the new single ended callback for open drain and in some

Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro.
This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer
able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory.
That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the
directory inode mutex.The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of
a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
"The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to
passing inode and dentry separately. This is the point where the
things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
security_d_instantiate() mess. The xattr work itself proceeds to
switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
there.After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:
- untangle security_d_instantiate()
- convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
permission checks. I would've dropped that commit (it gets
overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
cycle...- some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
relaxed the VFS exclusion. Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.- core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared. At
that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
shared.- parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
regular files. That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
I went for switching them one-by-one. To do that, a new method
'->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
or fixed to be OK with that. I hope to kill the original method
come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
already), but it's still not quite finished.- several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir. The
interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
shared.Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
commits. Important exception: NFS. Turns out that NFS folks, with
their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
grown the locking of their own. They had their own homegrown
rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
is the reader there). Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
code etc. had become exposed...- do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups. As the result, open()
without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared. Including the
->atomic_open() case. Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.- then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem. All
exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
mechanism. Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
now - rmdir being the writer.Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
now.- the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified
as well. One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge

If one iteration of the loop causes an error return and a later iteration
doesn't, the later iteration causes the earlier error condition to be
lost. This could result in driver probe succeeding when it should have
failed. Therefore save off the error return in the loop itself rather than
outside the loop.Reviewed-by: Dennis Dalessandro
