2008-07-02mac80211: rework debug settings and make debugging saferJohannes Berg
This patch reworks the mac80211 debug settings making them more focused and adding help text for those that didn't have one. It also removes a number of printks that can be triggered remotely and add no value, e.g. "too short deauthentication frame received - ignoring". If somebody really needs to debug that they should just add a monitor interface and look at the frames in wireshark. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-07-02mac80211: get rid of function pointers in RX pathJohannes Berg
This changes the RX path to no longer use function pointers for RX handlers but rather invoke them directly. If debugging is enabled, mark the RX handlers noinline because otherwise they all get inlined into ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlers() which makes it harder to see where a bug is.

2008-06-30build algorithms into the mac80211 moduleAdrian Bunk
The old infrastructure was: - the default algorithm is built into mac80211 - other algorithms get into their own modules The implementation of this complicated scheme was horrible (just look at net/mac80211/Makefile), and anyone adding a new algorithm would most likely not get it right at his first attempt. This patch therefore builds all enabled algorithms into the mac80211 module. The user interface for the rate control algorithms changes as follows: - first the user can choose which algorithms to enable (currently only MAC80211_RC_PID is available) - if more than one algorithm is enabled (currently not possible since only one algorithm is present) the user then chooses the default one Note: - MAC80211_RC_PID is always enables for CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n Technical changes: - all selected algorithms get into the mac80211 module - net/mac80211/Makefile can now become much less complicated - support for rc80211_pid_algo.c being modular is no longer required - this includes unexporting mesh_plink_broken Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

There is a missing "!" in a conditional statement which is causing entries to be skipped when dumping the default IPv6 static label entries. This can be demonstrated by running the following: # netlabelctl unlbl add default address:::1 \ label:system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 # netlabelctl -p unlbl list ... you will notice that the entry for the IPv6 localhost address is not displayed but does exist (works correctly, causes collisions when attempting to add duplicate entries, etc.).

2008-06-27af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/connected DGRAM socketsRainer Weikusat
For n:1 'datagram connections' (eg /dev/log), the unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This is always wrong for PF_UNIX non-stream sockets connected to server sockets dealing with (potentially) multiple clients if the abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full. 'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an (usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum. The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the unix_dgram_recvmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue. Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named 'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three different places) into a single location.

2008-06-27tcp: fix for splice receive when used with software LROOctavian Purdila
If an skb has nr_frags set to zero but its frag_list is not empty (as it can happen if software LRO is enabled), and a previous tcp_read_sock has consumed the linear part of the skb, then __skb_splice_bits: (a) incorrectly reports an error and (b) forgets to update the offset to account for the linear part Any of the two problems will cause the subsequent __skb_splice_bits call (the one that handles the frag_list skbs) to either skip data, or, if the unadjusted offset is greater then the size of the next skb in the frag_list, make tcp_splice_read loop forever.

2008-06-26rfkill: rename the rfkill_state states and add block-locked stateHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The current naming of rfkill_state causes a lot of confusion: not only the "kill" in rfkill suggests negative logic, but also the fact that rfkill cannot turn anything on (it can just force something off or stop forcing something off) is often forgotten. Rename RFKILL_STATE_OFF to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked and will not operate; state can be changed by a toggle_radio request), and RFKILL_STATE_ON to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED (transmitter is not blocked, and may operate). Also, add a new third state, RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked and will not operate; state cannot be changed through a toggle_radio request), which is used by drivers to indicate a wireless transmiter was blocked by a hardware rfkill line that accepts no overrides. Keep the old names as #defines, but document them as deprecated. This way, drivers can be converted to the new names *and* verified to actually use rfkill correctly one by one.

SW_RFKILL_ALL is the "emergency power-off all radios" input event.

2008-06-26rfkill: add read-write rfkill switch supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Currently, rfkill support for read/write rfkill switches is hacked through a round-trip over the input layer and rfkill-input to let a driver sync rfkill->state to hardware changes. This is buggy and sub-optimal. It causes real problems. It is best to think of the rfkill class as supporting only write-only switches at the moment. In order to implement the read/write functionality properly: Add a get_state() hook that is called by the class every time it needs to fetch the current state of the switch. Add a call to this hook every time the *current* state of the radio plays a role in a decision. Also add a force_state() method that can be used to forcefully syncronize the class' idea of the current state of the switch. This allows for a faster implementation of the read/write functionality, as a driver which get events on switch changes can avoid the need for a get_state() hook. If the get_state() hook is left as NULL, current behaviour is maintained, so this change is fully backwards compatible with the current rfkill drivers. For hardware that issues events when the rfkill state changes, leave get_state() NULL in the rfkill struct, set the initial state properly before registering with the rfkill class, and use the force_state() method in the driver to keep the rfkill interface up-to-date. get_state() can be called by the class from atomic context. It must not sleep. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: John W.
