e1000: don't enable dma receives until after dma address has been setup
Doing an 'ifconfig ethN down' followed by an 'ifconfig ethN up' on a qemu-kvm
guest system configured with two e1000 NICs can result in an 'unable to handle
kernel paging request at 0000000100000000' or 'bad page map in process ...' or
something similar.
These result from a 4096-byte page being corrupted with the following two-word
pattern (16-bytes) repeated throughout the entire page:
0x0000000000000000
0x0000000100000000
There can be other bits set as well. What is a constant is that the 2nd word
has the 32nd bit set. So one could see:
Which came from from a process' page table I dumped out when the marked line
was seen as bad by print_bad_pte().
The repeating pattern represents the e1000's two-word receive descriptor:
struct e1000_rx_desc {
__le64 buffer_addr; /* Address of the descriptor's data buffer */
__le16 length; /* Length of data DMAed into data buffer */
__le16 csum; /* Packet checksum */
u8 status; /* Descriptor status */
u8 errors; /* Descriptor Errors */
__le16 special;
};
And the 32nd bit of the 2nd word maps to the 'u8 status' member, and
corresponds to E1000_RXD_STAT_DD which indicates the descriptor is done.
The corruption appears to result from the following...
. An 'ifconfig ethN down' gets us into e1000_close(), which through a number
of subfunctions results in:
1. E1000_RCTL_EN being cleared in RCTL register. [e1000_down()]
2. dma_free_coherent() being called. [e1000_free_rx_resources()]
. An 'ifconfig ethN up' gets us into e1000_open(), which through a number of
subfunctions results in:
1. dma_alloc_coherent() being called. [e1000_setup_rx_resources()]
2. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register. [e1000_setup_rctl()]
3. E1000_RCTL_EN being cleared in RCTL register. [e1000_configure_rx()]
4. RDLEN, RDBAH and RDBAL registers being set to reflect the dma page
allocated in step 1. [e1000_configure_rx()]
5. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register. [e1000_configure_rx()]
During the 'ifconfig ethN up' there is a window opened, starting in step 2
where the receives are enabled up until they are disabled in step 3, in which
the address of the receive descriptor dma page known by the NIC is still the
previous one which was freed during the 'ifconfig ethN down'. If this memory
has been reallocated for some other use and the NIC feels so inclined, it will
write to that former dma page with predictably unpleasant results.
I realize that in the guest, we're dealing with an e1000 NIC that is software
emulated by qemu-kvm. The problem doesn't appear to occur on bare-metal. Andy
suspects that this is because in the emulator link-up is essentially instant
and traffic can start flowing immediately. Whereas on bare-metal, link-up
usually seems to take at least a few milliseconds. And this might be enough
to prevent traffic from flowing into the device inside the window where
E1000_RCTL_EN is set.
So perhaps a modification needs to be made to the qemu-kvm e1000 NIC emulator
to delay the link-up. But in defense of the emulator, it seems like a bad idea
to enable dma operations before the address of the memory to be involved has
been made known.
The following patch no longer enables receives in e1000_setup_rctl() but leaves
them however they were. It only enables receives in e1000_configure_rx(), and
only after the dma address has been made known to the hardware.
There are two places where e1000_setup_rctl() gets called. The one in
e1000_configure() is followed immediately by a call to e1000_configure_rx(), so
there's really no change functionally (except for the removal of the problem
window. The other is in __e1000_shutdown() and is not followed by a call to
e1000_configure_rx(), so there is a change functionally. But consider...
. An 'ifconfig ethN down' (just as described above).
. A 'suspend' of the system, which (I'm assuming) will find its way into
e1000_suspend() which calls __e1000_shutdown() resulting in:
1. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register. [e1000_setup_rctl()]
And again we've re-opened the problem window for some unknown amount of time.

connector: add comm change event report to proc connector
Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks. Such an event
becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in
different manner.
A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully
application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime.
Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain
monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon
listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place
specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions.
It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without
this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator
task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc
connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value
from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the
matter.

iwlagn: fix dangling scan request
If iwl_scan_initiate() fails for any reason,
priv->scan_request and priv->scan_vif are left
dangling. This can lead to a crash later when
iwl_bg_scan_completed() tries to run a pending
scan request.
In practice, this seems to be very rare due to
the STATUS_SCANNING check earlier. That check,
however, is wrong -- it should allow a scan to
be queued when a reset/roc scan is going on.
When a normal scan is already going on, a new
one can't be issued by mac80211, so that code
can be removed completely. I introduced this
bug when adding off-channel support in commit 266af4c745952e9bebf687dd68af58df553cb59d.

(7c6fa2a843..) scan table handling in driver is removed to
make use of cfg80211 dynamic scan table. Now driver sends
beacon buffers found in scanning directly to stack and parse
the buffer for requested BSS only during association.
Beacon buffer doesn't contain bss band information. Driver
gets it from firmware in separate tlv (chan_band_tlv).
Currently since we don't inform stack about bss bandinfo,
there is an issue with 5GHz association.

libertas: scan behaviour consistency improvements
When scanning for the broadcast SSID, there is no need to add the
SSID TLV (restoring the behaviour of the driver behaviour in the wext
days, confirmed in Marvell specifications).
If bssid is unspecified, the current scan code will usually fire off an
active scan probing for the specific requested SSID. However, if a scan
is ongoing (or has just finished), those scan results will be used
instead (even if that scan is totally different, e.g. a passive scan on
channel 4 for a different SSID). Fix this inconsistency by always
firing off a scan when associating without a bssid.

cfg80211: Validate cipher suite against supported ciphers
Instead of using a hardcoded list of cipher suites in nl80211.c, use a

values and allows vendor-specific cipher suites to be added in drivers.

NL80211_ATTR_AKM_SUITES can be used to configure new AKMs, like FT or
the SHA-256 -based AKMs or FT from 802.11r/802.11w. In addition, vendor
specific AKMs could be used. The current validation code for the connect
command prevents cfg80211-based drivers from using these mechanisms even
if the driver would not actually use this AKM value (i.e., it uses
WPA/RSN IE from user space). mac80211-based drivers allow any AKM to be
used since this value is not used there.
Remove the unnecessary validation step in cfg80211 to allow drivers to
decide what AKMs are supported. In theory, we could handle this by
advertising supported AKMs, but that would not be very effective unless
we enforce all drivers (including mac80211) to advertise the set of
supported AKMs. This would require additional changes in many places
whenever a new AKM is introduced even though no actually functionality
changes may be required in most drivers.

Most boards with SysKonnect/Marvell Ethernet have only a single port.
For the single port case, use the standard Ethernet driver convention
of allocating IRQ when device is brought up rather than at probe time.
This patch also adds some additional read after writes to avoid any
PCI posting problems when setting the IRQ mask.
The error handling of dual port cards is also changed. If second port
can not be brought up, then just fail. No point in continuing, since
the failure is most certainly because of out of memory.
It is worth noting that the dual port skge device has a single irq but two
seperate status rings and therefore has two NAPI objects, one for
each port.

enic: Add support for port profile association on a enic SRIOV VF
This patch touchs most of the enic port profile handling code.
Tried to break it into sub patches without success.
The patch mainly does the following:
- Port profile operations for a SRIOV VF are modified to work
only via its PF
- Changes the port profile static struct in struct enic to a pointer.
This is because a SRIOV PF has to now hold the port profile information
for all its VF's
- Moved address registration for VF's during port profile ASSOCIATE time
- Most changes in port profile handling code are changes related to indexing
into the port profile struct array of a PF for the VF port profile
information

While playing with a new ADSL box at home, I discovered that ECN
blackhole can trigger suboptimal quickack mode on linux : We send one

piggyback.
This is because TCP_ECN_check_ce() considers that if no ECT is seen on a

Refine this heuristic and apply it only if we seen ECT in a previous
segment, to detect ECN blackhole at IP level.
