Alexander Aring 9830c62a0b ieee820154: add short_addr setting support
This patch adds support for setting short address via nl802154 framework.
Also added a comment because a 0xffff seems to be valid address that we
don't have a short address. This is a valid setting but we need
more checks in upper layers to don't allow this address as source address.
Also the current netlink interface doesn't allow to set the short_addr
to 0xffff. Same for the 0xfffe short address which describes a not
allocated short address.

Adding a comment because setting 0xffff as pan_id seems to be valid
setting. The pan_id 0xffff as source pan is invalid. I am not sure now
about this setting but for the current netlink interface this is an
invalid setting, so we do the same now. Maybe we need to change that
when we have coordinator support and association support.

Martin Townsend 56b2c3eea3 6lowpan: move skb_free from error paths in decompression
Currently we ensure that the skb is freed on every error path in IPHC
decompression which makes it easy to introduce skb leaks.  By centralising
the skb_free into the receive function it makes future decompression routines
easier to maintain.  It does come at the expense of ensuring that the skb
passed into the decompression routine must not be copied.

John W. Linville says:

====================
pull request: wireless-next 2014-10-03

Please pull tihs batch of updates intended for the 3.18 stream!

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"I have here a few things that depend on the latest mac80211's changes:
RRM, TPC, Quiet Period etc...  Eyal keeps improving our rate control
and we have a new device ID. This last patch should probably have
gone to wireless.git, but at that stage, I preferred to send it to
-next and CC stable."

For (most of) the Atheros bits, Kalle says:

"The only new feature is testmode support from me. Ben added a new method
to crash the firmware with an assert for debug purposes. As usual, we
have lots of smaller fixes from Michal. Matteo fixed a Kconfig
dependency with debugfs. I fixed some warnings recently added to
checkpatch."

For the NFC bits, Samuel says:

"We've had major updates for TI and ST Microelectronics drivers, and a
few NCI related changes.

For TI's trf7970a driver:

- Target mode support for trf7970a
- Suspend/resume support for trf7970a
- DT properties additions to handle different quirks
- A bunch of fixes for smartphone IOP related issues

For ST Microelectronics' ST21NFCA and ST21NFCB drivers:

- ISO15693 support for st21nfcb
- checkpatch and sparse related warning fixes
- Code cleanups and a few minor fixes

Finally, Marvell added ISO15693 support to the NCI stack, together with a
couple of NCI fixes."

For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says:

"This 3.18 pull request replaces the one I did on Monday ("bluetooth-next
2014-09-22", which hasn't been pulled yet). The additions since the last
request are:

 - SCO connection fix for devices not supporting eSCO
 - Cleanups regarding the SCO establishment logic
 - Remove unnecessary return value from logging functions
 - Header compression fix for 6lowpan
 - Cleanups to the ieee802154/mrf24j40 driver

Here's a copy from previous request that this one replaces:

'
Here are some more patches for 3.18. They include various fixes to the
btusb HCI driver, a fix for LE SMP, as well as adding Jukka to the
MAINTAINERS file for generic 6LoWPAN (as requested by Alexander Aring).

I've held on to this pull request a bit since we were waiting for a SCO
related fix to get sorted out first. However, since the merge window is
getting closer I decided not to wait for it. If we do get the fix sorted
out there'll probably be a second small pull request later this week.
'"

And,

"Unless 3.17 gets delayed this will probably be our last -next pull request for
3.18. We've got:

  - New Marvell hardware supportr
  - Multicast support for 6lowpan
  - Several of 6lowpan fixes & cleanups
  - Fix for a (false-positive) lockdep warning in L2CAP
  - Minor btusb cleanup"

On top of all that comes the usual sort of updates to ath5k, ath9k,
ath10k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, and wil6210.  This time around there are
also a number of rtlwifi updates to enable some new hardware and
to reconcile the in-kernel drivers with some newer releases of the
Realtek vendor drivers.  Also of note is some device tree work for
the bcma bus.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Fabian Frederick 3243acd37f ieee802154: add __init to lowpan_frags_sysctl_register
lowpan_frags_sysctl_register is only called by __init lowpan_net_frag_init
(part of the lowpan module).

Simon Vincent f19f4f9525 ieee802154: 6lowpan: ensure header compression does not corrupt ipv6 header
The 6lowpan ipv6 header compression was causing problems for other interfaces
that expected a ipv6 header to still be in place, as we were replacing the
ipv6 header with a compressed version. This happened if you sent a packet to a
multicast address as the packet would be output on 802.15.4, ethernet, and also
be sent to the loopback interface. The skb data was shared between these
interfaces so all interfaces ended up with a compressed ipv6 header.

The solution is to ensure that before we do any header compression we are not
sharing the skb or skb data with any other interface. If we are then we must
take a copy of the skb and skb data before modifying the ipv6 header.
The only place we can copy the skb is inside the xmit function so we don't
leave dangling references to skb.

This patch moves all the header compression to inside the xmit function. Very
little code has been changed it has mostly been moved from lowpan_header_create
to lowpan_xmit. At the top of the xmit function we now check if the skb is
shared and if so copy it. In lowpan_header_create all we do now is store the
source and destination addresses for use later when we compress the header.
