2009-08-14drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()Dongdong Deng
The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in netpoll_send_skb(). The use of spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq() in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel instability. The solution is to use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_restore() to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb(). Call trace: netpoll_send_skb() { -> local_irq_save(flags) ---> dev->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev) ---> spin_lock_irq() ---> spin_unlock_irq() *******here would enable the interrupt. ... -> local_irq_restore(flags) } Signed-off-by: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Acked-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> Acked-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-08-14rt2x00: fix memory corruption in rf cache, add a sanity checkPavel Roskin
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.

2009-08-13ixgbe: Fix receive on real device when VLANs are configuredLucy Liu
Traffic received with a priority tag (VID = 0) and non-zero priority value was incorrectly handled by the VLAN packet code path due to a check on zero for the whole VLAN tag instead of just the VID. This patch masked out the priority field when checking the vlan tag for received VLAN packets.

2009-08-13ixgbe: Do not return 0 in ixgbe_fcoe_ddp() upon FCP_RSP in DDP completionYi Zou
We return the ddp->len in ixgbe_fcoe_ddp() to indicate the length of data that have been DDPed. However, it is possible that the length is 0, e.g., for SCSI READ, the FCP_RSP may come back w/ SCSI status 0x28 as Task Set Full with no FCP data for DDP. In ixgbe_fcoe_ddp(), we return 0 to indicate not passing DDPed packets to upper layer. Therefore in the case of ddp->len being 0 upon FCP_RSP, we do not want to return the 0 ddp->len as we want FCP_RSP to be always delivered to the upper layer. This patch fixes this bug by setting rc only if ddp->len is non-zero.

2009-08-09tun: Extend RTNL lock coverage over whole ioctlHerbert Xu
As it is, parts of the ioctl runs under the RTNL and parts of it do not. The unlocked section is still protected by the BKL, but there can be subtle races. For example, Eric Biederman and Paul Moore observed that if two threads tried to create two tun devices on the same file descriptor, then unexpected results may occur. As there isn't anything in the ioctl that is expected to sleep indefinitely, we can prevent this from occurring by extending the RTNL lock coverage. This also allows to get rid of the BKL. Finally, I changed tun_get_iff to take a tun device in order to avoid calling tun_put which would dead-lock as it also tries to take the RTNL lock.

2009-08-09fec: fix FEC driver packet transmission breakageGreg Ungerer
Commit f0b3fbeae11a526c3d308b691684589ee37c359b ("FEC Buffer rework") breaks transmission of packets where the skb data buffer is not memory aligned according to FEC_ALIGNMENT. It incorrectly passes to dma_sync_single() the buffer address directly from the skb, instead of the address calculated for use (which may be the skb address or one of the bounce buffers). It seems there is no use converting the cpu address of the buffer to a physical either, since dma_map_single() expects the cpu address and will return the dma address to use in the descriptor. So remove the use of __pa() on the buffer address as well. This patch is against 2.6.30-rc5. This breakage is a regression over 2.6.30, which does not have this problem.

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.

2009-08-03ixgbe: Patch to modify 82598 PCIe completion timeout valuesMallikarjuna R Chilakala
The default completion timeout values for 82598 should be in the range of 50us to 50ms, however the hardware default for these parts is 500us to 1ms which is less than the 10ms recommended by the pcie spec. To address this we need to increase the value to either 10ms to 250ms for capability version 1 configuration, or 16ms to 55ms for version 2.
