wimax/i2400m: move boot time poke table out of common driver
This change moves the table of "pokes" performed on the device at boot
time to the bus specific portion of the driver.
Different models of the i2400m device supported by this driver require
different poke tables, thus having a single table that works for all
is impossible. For that, the table is moved to the bus-specific
driver, who can decide which table to use based on the specifics of
the device and point the generic driver to it.
wimax/i2400m: Allow bus-specific driver to specify retry count
The code that sets up the i2400m (firmware load and general driver
setup after it) includes a couple of retry loops.
The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the
USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that
require trying a few more times.
To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be
considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the
bus-specific driver, which the general driver takes as a parameter.
wimax/i2400m: if a device reboot happens during probe, handle it
When a device reboot happens when we are under probe, with init_mutex
taken, make sure we can recover. Have dev_reset_handle set boot mode
and i2400m_msg_to_dev() will see it and fail gracefully instead of
timing out.
wimax/i2400m: fix oops when the TX FIFO fills up due to a missing check
When the TX FIFO filled up and i2400m_tx_new() failed to allocate a
new TX message header, a missing check for said condition was causing a
kernel oops when trying to dereference a NULL i2400m->tx_msg pointer.
wimax/i2400m: don't reset device on i2400m_dev_shutdown()
i2400m_dev_shutdown() tried to reset the device to put it in a known
state before shutting down.
But that turned out to be pointless. We reach this case in two paths:
1 - when the device resets, to clean up state
2 - when the driver is unloaded, for the same
however, in both cases it is pointless; in (1) the device is already
reset, why do it again? in (2) we can't -- the USB stack, for example,
doesn't allow communicating with the device when the driver is being
unbound and if the device is disconnected, the device is gone already.
So just remove it. Leave the function as a placeholder for future
cleanups that will be done from data allocated by the driver during
device operation.
wimax/i2400m: fix panic due to missed corner cases on tail_room calculation
i2400m_tx_skip_tail() needs to handle the special case of being called
when the tail room that is left over in the FIFO is zero.
This happens when a TX message header was opened at the very end of
the FIFO (without payloads). The i2400m_tx_close() code already marked
said TX message (header) to be skipped and this function should be
doing nothing.
It is called anyway because it is part of a common "corner case" path
handling which takes care of more cases than only this one.
The tail room computation was also improved to take care of the case
when tx_in is at the end of the buffer boundary; tail_room has to be
modded (%) to the buffer size. To do that in a single well-documented
place, __i2400m_tx_tail_room() is introduced and used.
Treat i2400m->tx_in == 0 as a corner case and handle it accordingly.
wimax/i2400m: fix panic/warnings caused by missed check on empty TX message
In some situations, when a new TX message header is started, there
might be no space for data payloads. In this case the message is left
with zero payloads and the i2400m_tx_close() function has just to mark
it as "to skip". If it tries to go ahead it will overwrite things
because there is no space to add padding as defined by the
bus-specific layer. This can cause buffer overruns and in some stress
cases, panics.
wimax/i2400m: i2400m's work queue should be initialized before RX support
RX support is the only user of the work-queue, to process
reports/notifications from the device. Thus, it needs the work queue
to be initialized first.
wimax/i2400m: don't call netif_start_queue() in _tx_msg_sent()
Reported and fixed by Cindy H Kao.
When the device is stopped __i2400m_dev_stop() stops the network
queue.
However, when this is done in the middle of heavy network operation,
when the bus-specific subdriver is still wrapping up and it reports a
sent TX transaction with _tx_msg_sent() right after the device was
stopped, the queue was being started again, which was causing a stream
of oopsen and finally a panic.
In any case, said call has no place there. It's a left over from an
early implementation that was discarded later on.
wimax/i2400m: introduce module parameter to disable entering power save
The i2400m driver waits for the device to report being ready for
entering power save before asking it to do so. This module parameter
allows control of said operation; if disabled, the driver won't ask
the device to enter power save mode.
This is useful in setups where power saving is not so important or
when the overhead imposed by network reentry after power save is not
acceptable; by combining this with parameter 'idle_mode_disabled', the
driver will always maintain both the connection and the device in
active state.

This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k:
The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm
figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or
single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc
frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended
up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the
wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with
it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control.
We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes
when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we
should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually
go into PS because it's not associated.

rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no

Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state
across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling
rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be
initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call.
We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before
registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these
drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject
to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi.
Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if
rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with
wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would
have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future
along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon

The minstrel rate controller periodically looks up rate indexes in
a sampling table. When accessing a specific row and column, minstrel
correctly does a bounds check which, on the surface, appears to handle
the case where mi->n_rates < 2. However, mi->sample_idx is actually
defined as an unsigned, so the right hand side is taken to be a huge
positive number when negative, and the check will always fail.
Consequently, the RC will overrun the array and cause random memory
corruption when communicating with a peer that has only a single rate.
The max value of mi->sample_idx is around 25 so casting to int should
have no ill effects.
Without the change, uptime is a few minutes under load with an AP
that has a single hard-coded rate, and both the AP and STA could

e1000e: Call e1000e_config_collision_dist() after TCTL has been set
e1000e_config_collision_dist() sets tctl, but subsequently tctl is
overwritten. It seems to me that as things stand the call to
e1000e_config_collision_dist() has no effect and should either be
removed or moved down a little bit. This kernel patch takes the latter
option.

e1000e: Fixes possible phy corrupton on 82571 designs.
Phy corruption has been observed on 2-port 82571 adapters, and is root-caused
to lack of synchronization between the 2 driver instances, which conflict
when attempting to access the phy via the single MDIC register.
A semaphore exists for this purpose, and is now used on these designs. Because
PXE &/or EFI boot code (which we cannot expect to be built with this fix) may
leave the inter-instance semaphore in an invalid initial state when the driver
first loads, this fix also includes a one-time (per driver load) fix-up of the
semaphore initial state.

pkt_sched: Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6
Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 to increase schedulers time
resolution. This will increase 16x a number of (internal) ticks per
nanosecond, and is needed to improve accuracy of schedulers based on
rate tables, like HTB, TBF or CBQ, with rates above 100Mbit. It is
assumed this change is safe for 32bit accounting of time diffs up
to 2 minutes, which should be enough for common use (extremely low
rate values may overflow, so get inaccurate instead). To make full
use of this change an updated iproute2 will be needed. (But using
older iproute2 should be safe too.)
This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code
fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately
eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.

A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with
the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the
broken remnants altogether. Here's a patch to restore proper locking in
the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct
all the time.
This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip
-- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on
R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface. Another theory
is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon
erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface
the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its
aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered
when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads
are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same
location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral
hardware as well as software.
Either way this piece of code is buggy.

It is possible for tun_chr_close to race with dellink on the
a tun device. In which case if __tun_get runs before dellink
but dellink runs before tun_chr_close calls unregister_netdevice
we will attempt to unregister the netdevice after it is already
gone.
The two cases are already serialized on the rtnl_lock, so I have
gone for the cheap simple fix of moving rtnl_lock to cover __tun_get
in tun_chr_close. Eliminating the possibility of the tun device
being unregistered between __tun_get and unregister_netdevice in
tun_chr_close.
