e1000e: Clear host wakeup bit on 82577/8 without touching PHY page 800
The Host Wakeup Active bit in the PHY Port General Configuration register
(page 769 register 17) must be cleared after every PHY reset to prevent an
unexpected wake signal from the PHY. Originally, this was accomplished by
simply reading the PHY Wakeup Control register on page 800 which clears the
Host Wakeup Active bit as a side-effect. Unfortunately, a hardware bug on
the 82577 and 82578 PHY can cause unexpected behavior when registers on
page 800 are accessed while in gigabit mode.
This patch changes the remaining instances when the Host Wakeup Active bit
needs to be cleared while possibly in gigabit mode by accessing the Port
General Configuration register directly instead of accessing any register
on page 800.

e1000e: access multiple PHY registers on same page at the same time
Doing a PHY page select can take a long time, relatively speaking. This
can cause a significant delay when updating a number of PHY registers on
the same page by unnecessarily setting the page for each PHY access. For
example when going to Sx, all the PHY wakeup registers (WUC, RAR[], MTA[],
SHRAR[], IP4AT[], IP6AT[], etc.) on 82577/8/9 need to be updated which
takes a long time which can cause issues when suspending.
This patch introduces new PHY ops function pointers to allow callers to
set the page directly and do any number of PHY accesses on that page.
This feature is currently only implemented for 82577, 82578 and 82579
PHYs for both the normally addressed registers as well as the special-
case addressing of the PHY wakeup registers on page 800. For the latter
registers, the existing function for accessing the wakeup registers has
been divided up into three- 1) enable access to the wakeup register page,
2) perform the register access and 3) disable access to the wakeup register
page. The two functions that enable/disable access to the wakeup register
page are necessarily available to the caller so that the caller can restore
the value of the Port Control (a.k.a. Wakeup Enable) register after the
wakeup register accesses are done.
All instances of writing to multiple PHY registers on the same page are
updated to use this new method and to acquire any PHY locking mechanism
before setting the page and performing the register accesses, and release
the locking mechanism afterward.
Some affiliated magic number cleanup is done as well.

Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel.
If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send
tx power settings also after partial rxon change, to assure device
always be configured with up-to-date settings.
iwlagn: use cts-to-self protection on 5000 adapters series
This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out
On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages:
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: queue 10 stuck 3 time. Fw reload.

The AT91SAM9X5 SOCs have a similar CAN core, but they only have 8 compared
to 16 mailboxes on the AT91SAM9263 SOC. Another difference is that the bits
defining the state of the CAN core are cleared on read, thus the driver
has to derive the state by looking at the error counters.

This is the second of two patches converting the at91_can driver from a
compile time mailbox setup to a dynamic one.
This patch first adds a id_table to the platform driver. Depending on the
driver_data the constants for the mailbox setup is selected. Then all
remaining prime mailbox constants are converted to functions, using the
run time selected mailbox constants.

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.
It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").
It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.
And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
"It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a
large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
data in the quoted bits further down).
...
Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
process that could have emptied the PTY."
which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.
Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.
