Because we do not have any locks for dst_entry, we cannot change
essential structure in the entry; e.g., we cannot change reference
to other entity.

To fix this issue, split 'from' and 'expires' field in dst_entry
out of union.  Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor,
keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of
the object.

Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple
just for fresh entries.

commit c9af6db4

 (net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation)
has a suspicous piece:

	-       skb_shinfo(skb1)->gso_type = skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type;
	-
	+       skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags = skb_shinfo(skb1)->tx_flags & SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG;

skb1 is the new skb, therefore should be on the left side of the assignment.
This patch fixes it.

John W. Linville says:

====================
One last batch of stragglers intended for 3.9...

For the iwlwifi pull, Johannes says:

"I hadn't expected to ask you to pull iwlwifi-next again, but I have a
number of fixes most of which I'd also send in after rc1, so here it is.

The first commit is a merge error between mac80211-next and
iwlwifi-next; in addition I have fixes for P2P scanning and MVM driver
MAC (virtual interface) management from Ilan, a CT-kill (critical
temperature) fix from Eytan, and myself fixed three different little but
annoying bugs in the MVM driver.

The only ones I might not send for -rc1 are Emmanuel's debug patch, but
OTOH it should help greatly if there are any issues, and my own time
event debugging patch that I used to find the race condition but we
decided to keep it for the future."

For the mac80211 pull, Johannes says:

"Like iwlwifi-next, this would almost be suitable for rc1.

I have a fix for station management on non-TDLS drivers, a CAB queue
crash fix for mesh, a fix for an annoying (but harmless) warning, a
tracing fix and a documentation fix. Other than that, only a few mesh
cleanups."

Along with that is a fix for memory corruption in rtlwifi, an
orinoco_usb fix to avoid allocating a DMA buffer on the stack, an a
hostap fix to return -ENOMEM instead of -1 after a memory allocation
failure.  The remaining bits implement 802.11ac support for the mwifiex
driver -- I think that is still worth getting into 3.9.

Please let me know if there are problems!

This change is incorrect, as per Jan Beulich:

====================
But this is wrong from all we can tell, we discussed this before
(Wei pointed to the discussion in an earlier reply). The core of
it is that the put here parallels the one in netbk_tx_err(), and

xenvif_connect() (which normally would be done on the path
coming through xenvif_disconnect()).

This patch fixes the following inconsistencies in bond_release_all:
- IFF_BONDING flag is not stripped from slaves
- MTU is not restored
- no netdev notifiers are sent
Instead of trying to keep bond_release and bond_release_all in sync
I think we can re-use bond_release as the environment for calling it
is correct (RTNL is held). I have been running tests for the past
week and they came out successful. The only way for bond_release to fail
is for the slave to be attached in a different bond or to not be a slave
but that cannot happen as RTNL is held and no slave manipulations can be
achieved.

V2: As suggested bond_release is renamed to __bond_release_one with a
new parameter "all" introduced so to avoid calling unnecessary code while
destroying a bond, and a wrapper for it called bond_release is created
because of ndo_del_link. bond_release_all() is removed.

slots. That finding reminded me that I was seeing similar crashed on a netbook,
which also has a relatively slow processor. After increasing the number of
slots to 128, runs on the netbook that previously failed now worked; however,
I found that 109 slots had been used in one test. For that reason, the number
of slots is being increased to 256.

Connection tracking helpers have to drop packets under exceptional
situations. Currently, the user gets the following logging message
in case that happens:

	nf_ct_%s: dropping packet ...

However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a
packet can be dropped.

This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:

	nf_ct_%s: dropping packet: reason ...

rtlwifi allocates both setup_packet and data buffer of control message urb,
using shared kmalloc in _usbctrl_vendorreq_async_write. Structure used for
allocating is:
	struct {
		u8 data[254];
		struct usb_ctrlrequest dr;
	};

Because 'struct usb_ctrlrequest' is __packed, setup packet is unaligned and
DMA mapping of both 'data' and 'dr' confuses ARM/sunxi, leading to memory
corruptions and freezes.

Patch changes setup packet to be allocated separately.
