2008-07-21mac80211_hwsim.c: fix: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference ↵Ian Schram
at 0000000000000370 I was looking at this out of interest, but I'm in no way familiar with the code. Looks to me that the error handling code in mac80211_hwsim is awkward. Which leads to it calling ieee80211_unregister_hw even when ieee80211_register_hw failed. The function has a for loop where it generates all simulated radios. when something fails, the error handling will call mac80211_hwsim_free which frees all simulated radios who's pointer isn't zero. However the information stored is insufficient to determine whether or not the call to ieee80211_register_hw succeeded or not for a specific radio. The included patch makes init_mac80211_hwsim clean up the current simulated radio, and then calls into mac80211_hwsim_free to clean up all the radios that did succeed. This however doesn't explain why the rate control registration failed.. build tested this, but had some problems reproducing the original problem.

2008-07-17netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

2008-07-15mmc,sdio: helper function for transfer paddingPierre Ossman
There are a lot of crappy controllers out there that cannot handle all the request sizes that the MMC/SD/SDIO specifications require. In case the card driver can pad the data to overcome the problems, this commit adds a helper that calculates how much that padding should be. A corresponding helper is also added for SDIO, but it can also deal with all the complexities of splitting up a large transfer efficiently. Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <drzeus@drzeus.cx>

2008-07-14mac80211: fix TX sequence numbersJohannes Berg
This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed through mac80211's TX path. This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked for proper sequence numbers on beacons. It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.

With the new beacon handling from mac80211 we can reorganize the beacon handling in rt2x00 as well.

2008-07-14mac80211: revamp beacon configurationJohannes Berg
This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally, it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

2008-07-14rt2x00: Fix NULL pointer error in adhoc/master modeIvo van Doorn
As soon as an interface is enabled, and that interface is in adhoc or master mode, the device will start raising beacondone interrupts. But before the first interrupt is raised, mac80211 will probably not have send any beacons to the device yet, which results in a NULL pointer error when the skb is being freed. Note that the "raise beacondone interrupts without a beacon" is also a bug, and will be addressed later. The more important bug however is preventing the NULL pointer failt itself, since there might be other conditions that could trigger it as well.

2008-07-09rt2x00: Disable synchronization during initializationIvo van Doorn
As soon as init_registers() was called, the rt2400/rt2500 would start raising beacondone interrupts. Since this is highly premature since no beacons were provided yet, we should initialize the synchronization register to 0. This will make all drivers initialize it to 0 regardless if they are raising beacondone interrupts or not, since it only makes sense to have it completely disabled.

Some early versions of RTL8187B devices have a USB ID of 0x8187 rather than the 0x8189 of later models. In addition, it appears that these early units also must be programmed with lower power.
