Hi Dave,
Here's my first set of changes for -next. The only exciting part are the
changes from Michał to integrate FQ/codel into mac80211's software queues
to improve cross-station latency and finally solve much of the latency
issues so many people have spent so much time talking about, but never
actually working on fixing until he did :)
Can I ask you to pull net into net-next, preferably before merging this?
I have a patch that is unsafe without a fix that I submitted through
mac80211 previously (last time, not the pull request a few minutes ago),
and I'd prefer not to have that in our -next trees without the fix. If
you merge net into net-next before this pull request I can fast-forward
mac80211-next to this merge later.
Let me know if there's any problem.
Thanks,
johannes

mac80211: implement codel on fair queuing flows (2016-06-09 11:45:10 +0200)
----------------------------------------------------------------
For the next cycle, we have the following:
* the biggest change is Michał's work on integrating FQ/codel
with the mac80211 internal software queues
* cfg80211 connect result gets clarified for the
"no connection at all" case
* advertisement of per-interface type capabilities, in case
they differ (which makes a lot of sense for some capabilities)
* most of the nl80211 & hwsim unprivileged namespace operation
changes
* human-readable VHT capabilities in debugfs
* some other cleanups, like spelling
