Disable stuff which is known to have issues on RT

drivers: net: gianfar: Make RT aware

2012-01-16T19:00:16+00:00

The adjust_link() disables interrupts before taking the queue
locks. On RT those locks are converted to "sleeping" locks and
therefor the local_irq_save/restore must be converted to
local_irq_save/restore_nort.

drivers/net: vortex fix locking issues

2012-01-16T19:00:16+00:00

Argh, cut and paste wasn't enough...

Use this patch instead.  It needs an irq disable.  But, believe it or not,
on SMP this is actually better.  If the irq is shared (as it is in Mark's
case), we don't stop the irq of other devices from being handled on
another CPU (unfortunately for Mark, he pinned all interrupts to one CPU).

drivers/net: fix livelock issues

2012-01-16T19:00:16+00:00

Preempt-RT runs into a live lock issue with the NETDEV_TX_LOCKED micro
optimization. The reason is that the softirq thread is rescheduling
itself on that return value. Depending on priorities it starts to
monoplize the CPU and livelock on UP systems.

Remove it.

drivers: net: at91_ether: Make mdio protection -rt safe

2012-01-16T19:00:07+00:00

Neither the phy interrupt nor the timer callback which updates the
link status in absense of a phy interrupt are taking lp->lock which
serializes the MDIO access. This works on mainline as at91 is an UP
machine. On preempt-rt the timer callback can run even in the
spin_lock_irq(&lp->lock) protected code pathes because spin_lock_irq
is neither disabling interrupts nor disabling preemption.

Fix this by adding proper locking to at91ether_phy_interrupt() and
at91_check_ether() which serializes the access on -rt.

drivers: net: ehea: Make rx irq handler non-threaded (IRQF_NO_THREAD)

2012-01-16T19:00:07+00:00

The underlying hardware is edge triggered but presented by XICS as level
triggered. The edge triggered interrupts are not reissued after masking. This
is not a problem in mainline which does not mask the interrupt (relying on the
EOI mechanism instead). The threaded interrupts in PREEMPT_RT do mask the
interrupt, and can lose interrupts that occurred while masked, resulting in a
hung ethernet interface.

The receive handler simply calls napi_schedule(), as such, there is no
significant additional overhead in making this non-threaded, since we either
wakeup the threaded irq handler to call napi_schedule(), or just call
napi_schedule() directly to wakeup the softirqs.  As the receive handler is
lockless, there is no need to convert any of the ehea spinlock_t's to
raw_spinlock_t's.

Without this patch, a simple scp file copy loop would fail quickly (usually
seconds). We have over two hours of sustained scp activity with the patch
applied.

Credit goes to Will Schmidt for lots of instrumentation and tracing which
clarified the scenario and to Thomas Gleixner for the incredibly simple
solution.

drivers/net: Use disable_irq_nosync() in 8139too

2012-01-16T19:00:06+00:00

Use disable_irq_nosync() instead of disable_irq() as this might be
called in atomic context with netpoll.

mwifiex: fix crash during simultaneous scan and connect

2012-01-03T19:40:45+00:00

If 'iw connect' command is fired when driver is already busy in
serving 'iw scan' command, ssid specific scan operation for connect
is skipped. In this case cmd wait queue handler gets called with no
command in queue (i.e. adapter->cmd_queued = NULL).

This patch adds a NULL check in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete()
routine to fix crash observed during simultaneous scan and assoc
operations.
