dm log: userspace fix overhead_size calcuations

2010-02-23T15:37:58+00:00

commit ebfd32bba9b518d684009d9d21a56742337ca1b3 upstream.

This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and
misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'.  'overhead_size' is the size of
the various header structures used during communication.

The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure
instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being
computed.  This is then used in a check to see if the payload
(data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure.  Since the
bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the
structure to be breached.  (Although the current users of the code do
not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.)

The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how
much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it
with fresh data.  This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)'
not overhead_size.  The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed
incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's
worth of space at the end uncleared.  Thus, this bug was never producing
a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the
value is computed correctly.

dm stripe: avoid divide by zero with invalid stripe count

2010-02-23T15:37:58+00:00

commit 781248c1b50c776a9ef4be1130f84ced1cba42fe upstream.

If a table containing zero as stripe count is passed into stripe_ctr
the code attempts to divide by zero.

This patch changes DM_TABLE_LOAD to return -EINVAL if the stripe count
is zero.

We now get the following error messages:
  device-mapper: table: 253:0: striped: Invalid stripe count
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

iwlwifi: Fix to set correct ht configuration

2010-02-23T15:37:58+00:00

commit 098dfded5b1b09927995e89c6d689f85a0f53384 upstream.

iwl_set_rxon_ht() only get called in iwl_post_associate(); which cause
possible incorrect ht configuration. Adding the call in iwl_mac_config() if
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL flag is set to re-configure and send rxon
command.

mac80211: Fix probe request filtering in IBSS mode

2010-02-23T15:37:58+00:00

commit 0da780c269957783d341fc3559e6b4c9912af7b4 upstream.

We only reply to probe request if either the requested SSID is the
broadcast SSID or if the requested SSID matches our own SSID. This
latter case was not properly handled since we were replying to different
SSID with the same length as our own SSID.

ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames

commit 6c8afef551fef87a3bf24f8a74c69a7f2f72fc82 upstream.

Currently, PAE frames are not assigned proper sequence numbers.
Since sending PAE frames as part of aggregates breaks
crupto with several APs, they are sent as normal MPDUs.
Fix the seqeuence number issue by updating the frame with the
internal sequence number.

b43: Fix throughput regression

2010-02-23T15:37:58+00:00

commit b6c3f5be7c6ac3375f44de4545c1ffe216b34022 upstream.

Commit c7ab5ef9bcd281135c21b4732c9be779585181be entitled "b43: implement
short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for
my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling
portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling.

Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never
called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the
value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain
the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value
of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value
in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased
performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic
improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s.

Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the
MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating
in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

eCryptfs: Add getattr function

2010-02-23T15:37:58+00:00

commit f8f484d1b6677dd5cd5e7e605db747e8c30bbd47 upstream.

The i_blocks field of an eCryptfs inode cannot be trusted, but
generic_fillattr() uses it to instantiate the blocks field of a stat()
syscall when a filesystem doesn't implement its own getattr().  Users
have noticed that the output of du is incorrect on newly created files.

This patch creates ecryptfs_getattr() which calls into the lower
filesystem's getattr() so that eCryptfs can use its kstat.blocks value
after calling generic_fillattr().  It is important to note that the
block count includes the eCryptfs metadata stored in the beginning of
the lower file plus any padding used to fill an extent before
encryption.

NFS: Too many GETATTR and ACCESS calls after direct I/O

2010-02-23T15:37:57+00:00

commit 65d269538a1129495ac45a14a777cd11cfe881d8 upstream.

The cached read and write paths initialize fattr->time_start in their
setup procedures.  The value of fattr->time_start is propagated to
read_cache_jiffies by nfs_update_inode().  Subsequent calls to
nfs_attribute_timeout() will then use a good time stamp when
computing the attribute cache timeout, and squelch unneeded GETATTR
calls.

Since the direct I/O paths erroneously leave the inode's
fattr->time_start field set to zero, read_cache_jiffies for that inode
is set to zero after any direct read or write operation.  This
triggers an otw GETATTR or ACCESS call to update the file's attribute
and access caches properly, even when the NFS READ or WRITE replies
have usable post-op attributes.

Make sure the direct read and write setup code performs the same fattr
initialization as the cached I/O paths to prevent unnecessary GETATTR
calls.

This was likely introduced by commit 0e574af1 in 2.6.15, which appears
to add new nfs_fattr_init() call sites in the cached read and write
paths, but not in the equivalent places in fs/nfs/direct.c.  A
subsequent commit in the same series, 33801147, introduces the
fattr->time_start field.

Interestingly, the direct write reschedule path already has a call to
nfs_fattr_init() in the right place.

drm/radeon/kms: use udelay for short delays

commit 01d4503968f471f876fb44335800d2cf8dc5a2ce upstream.

For usec delays use udelay instead of scheduling, this should
allow reclocking to happen faster. This also was the cause
of reported 33s delays at bootup on certain systems.
