2009-08-28ipw2200: firmware DMA loading reworkZhu Yi
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz reported an atomic order-6 allocation failure for ipw2200 firmware loading in kernel 2.6.30. High order allocation is likely to fail and should always be avoided. The patch fixes this problem by replacing the original order-6 pci_alloc_consistent() with an array of order-1 pages from a pci pool. This utilized the ipw2200 DMA command blocks (up to 64 slots). The maximum firmware size support remains the same (64*8K).

2009-08-21rtl8187: always set MSR_LINK_ENEDCA flag with RTL8187BHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski
RTL8187B always needs MSR_LINK_ENEDCA flag to be set even when it is in no link mode, otherwise it'll not be able to associate when this flag is not set after the change "mac80211: fix managed mode BSSID handling". By accident, setting BSSID of AP before association makes 8187B to successfuly associate even when ENEDCA flag isn't set, which was the case before the mac80211 change. But now the BSSID of AP we are trying to associate is only available after association is successful, and any attempt to associate without the needed flag doesn't work.

Change rt2x00_rf_read() and rt2x00_rf_write() to subtract 1 from the rf register number. This is needed because the rf registers are enumerated starting with one. The size of the rf register cache is just enough to hold all registers, so writing to the highest register was corrupting memory. Add a check to make sure that the rf register number is valid.

2009-08-03cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming featureLuis R. Rodriguez
A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6: "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint" We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable. By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did support such enhancements when world roaming. Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them. We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed world wide. This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP, and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared upon wiphy registration. I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

Several arrays were read before checking whether the index was within bounds. ARRAY_SIZE() should be used to determine the size of arrays. rates->rates has an arraysize of 1, so calling get_common_rates() with a rates_size of MAX_RATES (14) was causing reads out of bounds. tmp_size can increment at most to (ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) - 1) * (*rates_size - 1), so that should be the number of elements of tmp[].

2009-07-27iwlwifi: fix TX queue raceJohannes Berg
I had a problem on 4965 hardware (well, probably other hardware too, but others don't survive my stress testing right now, unfortunately) where the driver was sending invalid commands to the device, but no such thing could be seen from the driver's point of view. I could reproduce this fairly easily by sending multiple TCP streams with iperf on different TIDs, though sometimes a single iperf stream was sufficient. It even happened with a single core, but I have forced preemption turned on. The culprit was a queue overrun, where we advanced the queue's write pointer over the read pointer. After careful analysis I've come to the conclusion that the cause is a race condition between iwlwifi and mac80211. mac80211, of course, checks whether the queue is stopped, before transmitting a frame. This effectively looks like this: lock(queues) if (stopped(queue)) { unlock(queues) return busy; } unlock(queues) ... <-- this place will be important there is some more code here drv_tx(frame) The driver, on the other hand, can stop and start queues, which does lock(queues) mark_running/stopped(queue) unlock(queues) [if marked running: wake up tasklet to send pending frames] Now, however, once the driver starts the queue, mac80211 can see that and end up at the marked place above, at which point for some reason the driver seems to stop the queue again (I don't understand that) and then we end up transmitting while the queue is actually full. Now, this shouldn't actually matter much, but for some reason I've seen it happen multiple times in a row and the queue actually overflows, at which point the queue bites itself in the tail and things go completely wrong. This patch fixes this by just dropping the packet should this have happened, and making the lock in iwlwifi cover everything so iwlwifi can't race against itself (dropping the lock there might make it more likely, but it did seem to happen without that too). Since we can't hold the lock across drv_tx() above, I see no way to fix this in mac80211, but I also don't understand why I haven't seen this before -- maybe I just never stress tested it this badly. With this patch, the device has survived many minutes of simultanously sending two iperf streams on different TIDs with combined throughput of about 60 Mbps.

disciplines." This reverts commit adeab1afb7de89555c69aab5ca21300c14af6369. As Alan Cox explained, the TTY layer changes that went recently to get rid of the tty->low_latency stuff fixes this already, and even for -stable it's the ->low_latency changes that should go in to fix this, rather than this patch.

Fixed by converting the involved locking code to use irq-safe locks. Review of other networking line disciplines shows that 6pack, both sync and async PPP and STRIP have similar issues. The ppp_async one is the most interesting one as it sorts out half of the issue as far back as 2004 in commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=2996d8deaeddd01820691a872550dc0cfba0c37d Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Reported-by: Guido Trentalancia <guido@trentalancia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-07-08p54: tx refused but queue activeLarry Finger
In the mainline kernel, p54usb will fail because the TX queue length can become < 0. This problem has been reported as Bugzilla #13725. The failure is expressed by the following message in the logs: WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1325 ieee80211_tx+0x23c/0x298 [mac80211]() Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC tx refused but queue active This problem has been recently observed in the wireless-testing tree, where a full solution is being tested. That fix is too invasive for 2.6.31-rcX, but the simple change supplied here will prevent the failure. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-08Atheros Kconfig needs to be dependent on WLAN_80211Jay Sternberg
Atheros top level menu needs a "depends WLAN_80211" to properly indent within menuconfig and xconfig interfaces. This is purely a visual issue but it effects all subsequent drivers. The issue is the top level menu does not include a dependency on WLAN_80211 so within the tree structure, Atheros is at the same level as WLAN_80211 but when WLAN_80211 collapsed, the menu disappears along with all subsequent drives, so it is really a subordinate.
