2008-05-14ext3/4: fix uninitialized bs in ext3/4_xattr_set_handle()Tiger Yang
This fix the uninitialized bs when we try to replace a xattr entry in ibody with the new value which require more than free space. This situation only happens we format ext3/4 with inode size more than 128 and we have put xattr entries both in ibody and block. The consequences about this bug is we will lost the xattr block which pointed by i_file_acl with all xattr entires in it. We will alloc a new xattr block and put that large value entry in it. The old xattr block will become orphan block.

2008-05-14asm-{alpha,h8300,um,v850,xtensa}/param.h: unbreak HZ for userspaceMike Frysinger
I noticed this because alpha was broken due to the recent commit commit bdc807871d58285737d50dc6163d0feb72cb0dc2 ("avoid overflows in kernel/time.c"). Most arches do something like this in their asm/param.h: #ifdef __KERNEL__ # define HZ CONFIG_HZ #else # define HZ 100 #endif A few arches though (namely alpha/h8300/um/v850/xtensa) either do no set HZ at all for !__KERNEL__, or they set it wrongly. This should bring all arches in line by setting up HZ for userspace. Without this currently perl 5.10 doesn't build on alpha: perl.c: In function 'perl_construct': perl.c:388: error: 'CONFIG_HZ' undeclared (first use in this function) -> http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=perl;ver=5.10.0-10;arch=alpha;stamp=1210252894 Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Cc: Yoshinori Sato <ysato@users.sourceforge.jp> Cc: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Cc: maximilian attems <max@stro.at> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [ HZ on alpha is 1024 for historical reasons. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-05-14memory hotplug: memmap_init_zone called twiceHeiko Carstens
__add_zone calls memmap_init_zone twice if memory gets attached to an empty zone. Once via init_currently_empty_zone and once explictly right after that call. Looks like this is currently not a bug, however the call is superfluous and might lead to subtle bugs if memmap_init_zone gets changed. So make sure it is called only once.

2008-05-14pnp: add ISAPnP MPU option quirksRene Herman
The AD181x and AZT230 chips don't support an IRQ-less MPU401 option but work fine without one. This adds (priority functional) IRQ-less options for each port option to help systems with few available IRQs. The AD1815 quirk can't use pnp_register_irq_resource() due to doubly penalizing the IRQ. Also, while not a practical issue due to no IRQ option being present for the dependents, this needs to add in front, not back. Doesn't use pnp_register_port_resource() for symetry with above. This does not delete the AD1815 independent option even though it should be empty after the IRQ transfer due to AD1816 coming with an empty but still present independent option by default. Was tested on AD1815, AD1816 and AZT2320. The ALSA snd-ad1818a driver also support the AZT2002 ID for MPU401 but this doesn't as I was unable to test it.

2008-05-14fix "lxfb: extend PLL table to support dotclocks below 25 MHz"Jens Rottmann
The following patch caused a regression with OLPC panels: commit 3888d4639e78802c4ec1086127124e890461b9e4 lxfb: extend PLL table to support dotclocks below 25 MHz Extends the PLL frequency table of the AMD Geode-LX frame buffer driver to make use of the DIV4 bit, thus adding support for dotclocks between 6 and 25 MHz. These are needed for small LCDs (e.g. 320x240). Also inserts some intermediate steps between pre-existing frequencies. The problem was the insertion of intermediate steps into the frequency table; they would cause the wrong frequency to be matched. This patch drops those intermediate frequencies while keeping the sub-25MHz frequencies.

2008-05-149p: fix error path during early mountEric Van Hensbergen
There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger a kernel bug for certain types of failure. This patch reorganizes the cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior. This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of configuration and initialization. Keeping the fd transport separate from the core 9pnet code seemed like a good idea at the time, but in practice has caused more harm and confusion than good.

2008-05-14add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing ↵Markus Armbruster
more robust match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer. There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious. The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See compat_sys_mount() and do_mount(). The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX. We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096. Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop. If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the variables may see changes from previous packets. For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet. The subsequent packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211 will not try to decrypt it. We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix the other two.

This in turn will allow drivers to check for that flag before reporting the TX status to mac80211. This is very usefull when frames (like beacons, RTS and CTS-to-self) should not be reported back to mac80211.

2008-05-14mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise unitsBruno Randolf
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from the wireless extensions. this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future. for signal: IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW for noise we currently only have dBm: IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications to make sense of the signal values. i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing the hardware flags of the driver.

2008-05-14mac80211: fix queue constant confusionJohannes Berg
In commit 31ccc476b77234f6afb3 (mac80211: QoS related cleanups) I accidentally changed these to use IEEE80211_MAX_AMPDU_QUEUES twice which obviously is wrong, it should be IEEE80211_MAX_QUEUES once. Currently harmless as they're both the same value anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-05-14zd1211rw: initial IBSS supportBruno Randolf
this adds initial IBSS support for the zydas zd1211rw: convince driver that it can do IBSS mode. add mac80211 beacon_update callback. IBSS merge and TSF updates don't work yet, but it makes the driver usable in ad-hoc networks. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-05-14atmel: use netstats in net_device structurePaulius Zaleckas
Use net_device_stats from net_device structure instead of local. Kill atmel_get_stats function, because by default it is used identical internal_stats function from net/core/dev.c No need to memset stats to 0, because they are allocated by kzalloc. P.S. Someone should cleanup init_atmel_card function from unneeded initializations to 0/NULL. Out of scope for this patch.

2008-05-14iwl3945: do not delay hardware scan if it is a direct scanBill Moss
iwl3945 <---> mac80211 <----> wpa_supplicant <---> NetworkManager When a hardware scan is completed and another scan is requested in less than two seconds, iwlwifi will not do the second scan and will pass the error code -EAGAIN back to mac80211 where it quickly dies. The error code is not passed along to the calling program wpa_supplicant. After a timeout, wpa_supplicant will just give up but it will not know why the scan failed. This is a weakness in the design. I ran into this issue when I was trying to figure out why it takes more an a minute for NetworkManager to connect after Networking has been disabled and then re-enabled. I found a good deal of unnecessary work being done because mac80211 requests authentication when the interface is not configured, the ANY mode. I created an experimental passive (NOTANY) mode for mac80211 to eliminate this case. Then NetworkManager became so fast that I ran into the iwlwifi 2 second delay next scan issue which we are discussing. The patch resolves the problem by bypassing the delay if the scan request is a direct scan. It should do less harm to the hardware.
