2008-09-15rfkill: remove transmitter blocking on suspendHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Currently, rfkill would stand in the way of properly supporting wireless devices that are capable of waking the system up from sleep or hibernation when they receive a special wireless message. It would also get in the way of mesh devices that need to remain operational even during platform suspend. To avoid that, stop trying to block the transmitters on the rfkill class suspend handler. Drivers that need rfkill's older behaviour will have to implement it by themselves in their own suspend handling. Do note that rfkill *will* attempt to restore the transmitter state on resume in any situation. This happens after the driver's resume method is called by the suspend core (class devices resume after the devices they are attached to have been resumed). The following drivers need to check if they need to explicitly block their transmitters in their own suspend handlers (maintainers Cc'd): arch/arm/mach-pxa/tosa-bt.c drivers/net/usb/hso.c drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/* (USB might need it?) drivers/net/wireless/b43/ (SSB over USB might need it?) drivers/misc/hp-wmi.c eeepc-laptop w/rfkill support (not in mainline yet) Compal laptop w/rfkill support (not in mainline yet) toshiba-acpi w/rfkill support (not in mainline yet) Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Cc: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Cc: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Bird <ajb@spheresystems.co.uk> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Cc: Cezary Jackiewicz <cezary.jackiewicz@gmail.com> Cc: Philip Langdale <philipl@overt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-09-15cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructureLuis R. Rodriguez
This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This patch is intended to add a qdisc to support the new tx multiqueue architecture by providing a band for each hardware queue. By doing this it is possible to support a different qdisc per physical hardware queue. This qdisc uses the skb->queue_mapping to select which band to place the traffic onto. It then uses a round robin w/ a check to see if the subqueue is stopped to determine which band to dequeue the packet from.

2008-09-04dccp: Policy-based packet dequeueing infrastructureTomasz Grobelny
This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of TX packets and provides two policies: * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and * a priority based policy (set via socket options). Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write queue (can be overridden via socket options). The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

2008-09-04dccp: Implement both feature-local and feature-remote Sequence Window featureGerrit Renker
This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the * sequence-number-validity (W) and * acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. Specifically, the following changes are introduced: * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk; * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields; * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side, so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false; * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere; - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3); - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously; * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed. Until the handshake completes with activating negotiated values, the local/remote Sequence-Window values are undefined and thus can not reliably be estimated. This issue is addressed in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz>
2008-09-04dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctlGerrit Renker
This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack Vector feature, which is now handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation; i.e. when CCID2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled (as per RFC 4341, 4.). Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock / sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector) /* ... */ with if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL) /* ... */ The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection. Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child), so that the test is a valid one. The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature negotiation has concluded at the * server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives; * client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN. Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been removed, since (a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received; (b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e. this entry will always be ignored; (c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks.

2008-09-04dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count featureGerrit Renker
Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now: * for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts; * for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths. Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they are needed (e.g. in CCID-3). This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking), hence this form of support is redundant. At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature is with the default value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

2008-09-04dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interfaceGerrit Renker
The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of feature negotiation may be something different. The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs earlier in this patch set. Also removed the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the switch rx/non-rx is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler is the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

2008-09-04dccp: Set per-connection CCIDs via socket optionsGerrit Renker
With this patch, TX/RX CCIDs can now be changed on a per-connection basis, which overrides the defaults set by the global sysctl variables for TX/RX CCIDs. To make full use of this facility, the remaining patches of this patch set are needed, which track dependencies and activate negotiated feature values. Note on the maximum number of CCIDs that can be registered: ----------------------------------------------------------- The maximum number of CCIDs that can be registered on the socket is constrained by the space in a Confirm/Change feature negotiation option. The space in these in turn depends on the size of header options as defined in RFC 4340, 5.8. Since this is a recurring constant, it has been moved from ackvec.h into linux/dccp.h, clarifying its purpose. Relative to this size, the maximum number of CCID identifiers that can be present in a Confirm option (which always consumes 1 byte more than a Change option, cf. 6.1) is 2 bytes less than the maximum TLV size: one for the CCID-feature-type and one for the selected value. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp: Deprecate Ack Ratio sysctlGerrit Renker
This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since * Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4, * Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1); * even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it: - Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2), - if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts (since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window), - cwnd is not a user-configurable value. The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe. With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation: * Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID; * if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack Ratio 2 for both endpoints"; * what happens then is part of another patch set, since it concerns the dynamic update of Ack Ratio while the connection is in full flight.

2008-09-04dccp: Query supported CCIDsGerrit Renker
This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported and three accessor functions: - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests made by the user; - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation; - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities. The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices). Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz>

2008-08-15Documentation/vm/page_migration: update reference to numa_maps + fix ↵Michael Kerrisk
download URI With man-pages-3.07, the numa_maps documentation home is now proc(5), so the reference in Documentation/vm/page_migration needs updating. (Cliff/Lee are removing numa_maps.5 from the numactl package.) Also, the download location for the numactl package changed a while back. This patch fixes both things, as well as a typo (provided-->provides).

2008-08-13usb: auerswald: remove driver (obsolete)Wolfgang Mües
This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel 2.6.26. This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL, the demand of ISDN support is getting very low. Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the auerswald web site. So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang@iksw-muees.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
