2006-08-29[PATCH] bcm43xx: Set floor of wireless signal and noise at -110 dBmLarry Finger
This patch sets the floor of wireless level (signal) and noise at -110 dBm, which makes them be comatible with RCPI, as discussed by Simon Barber. With this change, bcm43xx-softmac and bcm43xx-d80211 behave the same. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-08-29[PATCH] bcm43xx - set correct value in mac_suspended for ifdown/ifup sequenceLarry Finger
When bcm43xx-softmac is given an ifdown/ifup sequence, the value for bcm->mac_suspended ends up wrong, which leads to a large number of assert(bcm->mac_suspended>=0) messages. This one-line patch fixes this problem. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-08-29[PATCH] ipw2200: enable wireless extension passive scanZhu Yi
This patch enables the ipw2200 driver to support passive scanning as offered by the wireless extensions. For this, I enhanced the ipw_wx_set_scan function in such a way that it differentiates between a passive and an active scan request. Additionally, I added a new function called ipw_request_passive_scan that is similiar to the ipw_request_scan function to perform passive scans. Last but not least, I added a field (in fact it is a work_struct struct) called request_passive_scan to the ipw_priv struct.

IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TSFT is defined as the Value in microseconds of the MAC's 64-bit 802.11 Time Synchronization Function timer when the first bit of the MPDU arrived at the MAC.

2006-08-29[PATCH] ipw2200: Reassociate even if set the same essid.Zhu Yi
This patch traps the case when the essid is being set to its current value. If the essid is being set again and we are already associated, chances are some other parameters have also been altered.

2006-08-29[PATCH] ipw2200: ipw_wx_set_essid fixZhu Yi
This patch cleanups the ipw_wx_set_essid code and forces a reassociation when setting the essid to "any". I have tested this patch with iwconfig. It makes ipw2200 compliant with all the cases mentioned in the iwconfig man page. The commands iwconfig iface essid any iwconfig iface essid -- any iwconfig iface essid off iwconfig iface essid on all seemed to work correctly. None of this worked before the patch. Note, this patch treats iwconfig iface essid iwconfig iface essid "" The same. It produces an error message: essid: Unknown host. Since an essid of "" is not mentioned in the iwconfig man page.

2006-08-29[PATCH] ipw2200: SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl returns frequency rather than channelZhu Yi
The SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl fills the request structure's freq field by setting the exponent to 0 and the mantissa to the current channel number. The iwconfig tool works around this behaviour by looking up the frequency from the channel table if a frequency below 1kHz is returned, other tools (e.g. kwlaninfo) don't. According to the comment in the iwconfig source the driver is supposed to return the frequency, not the channel number.

Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level debugging) and make IPW_DEBUG be always enabled. IPW_LL_DEBUG still needs to be enabled by selecting CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG.

2006-08-29[PATCH] ieee80211: Fix TKIP and WEP decryption error on SMP machinesZhu Yi
The IEEE80211 TKIP and WEP Tx and Rx paths use the same crypto_tfm to encrypt and decrypt data. During the encrypt and decrypt process, both of them will set a new key to crypto_tfm. If they happen on the same time, it will corrupt the crypto_tfm. Thus users will receive an ICV error or Michael MIC error. This only likely to happen on SMP box with heavy traffic both on Tx and Rx.

2006-08-29[PATCH] kthread: airo.cSukadev Bhattiprolu
The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a task. The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in drivers. This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create(). It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid. Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task. As an extension of these changes, the patch further: - replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop() - replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop() - removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by kthread_stop().

2006-08-27[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_mapPaul Jackson
Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make this top cpus file read-only. On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset. If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled. In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed by their cpuset. Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem, driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.
