* tg3: Fix 5714S / 5715S / 5780S link failuresMatt Carlson2008-06-101-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git commit ef167e27039eeaea6d3cdd5c547b082e89840bdd entitled "Fix supporting flowctrl code" introduced a bug that prevents 5714S, 5715S and 5780S devices from falling back to a forced link mode. The problem is that the added flow control check will always fail if flow control is set to autoneg and either RX or TX (or both) flow control is enabled. The driver defaults to setting flow control to autoneg and advertises both RX and TX flow control. The fix is to remove the errant check.

* libertas: fix sleep confirmationHolger Schurig2008-06-092-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes an issus that made "iwconfig eth1 power on" non-working. When we get a "PS sleep" event, we have to confirm this to the firmware. The confirm happens with a command, but this command is special: the firmware won't send us a response. if_cs_host_to_card() is setting priv->dnld_sent anyway, so this variable stayed at DNLD_DATA_SENT and was never cleared back. Now I put the special knowledge that the CMD_802_11_PS_MODE with CMD_SUBCMD_SLEEP_CONFIRMED doesn't need to need a response by directly clearing the dnld_sent state in lbs_send_confirmsleep().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When another scan is in progress, a direct scan gets dropped on the floor. However, that direct scan is usually the scan that's really needed by userspace, and gets stomped on by all the broadcast scans the ipw2200 driver issues internally. Make sure the direct scan happens eventually, and as a bonus ensure that the passive scan worker is cleaned up when appropriate. The change of request_passive_scan form a struct work to struct delayed_work is only to make the set_wx_scan() code a bit simpler, it's still only used with a delay of 0 to match previous behavior.

* l2tp: Fix possible oops if transmitting or receiving when tunnel goes downJames Chapman2008-06-051-23/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some problems have been experienced in the field which cause an oops in the pppol2tp driver if L2TP tunnels fail while passing data. The pppol2tp driver uses private data that is referenced via the sk->sk_user_data of its UDP and PPPoL2TP sockets. This patch makes sure that the driver uses sock_hold() when it holds a reference to the sk pointer. This affects its sendmsg(), recvmsg(), getname(), [gs]etsockopt() and ioctl() handlers. Tested by ISP where problem was seen. System has been up 10 days with no oops since running this patch. Without the patch, an oops would occur every 1-2 days.

* tcp: Fix for race due to temporary drop of the socket lock in skb_splice_bits.Octavian Purdila2008-06-052-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock. This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb" after the lock has been temporary dropped. Based on idea and initial patch from Evgeniy Polyakov.

In order for this to cause corruption: 1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated. 2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that in cache in the first place. 3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be updated on this iteration. ...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out by tcp_sacktag_one. It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK. Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)). Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero and reordering metric on RTO). This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have tried to help here. This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go through it just once there. Going through twice would have required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above, I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using 4+ GB RAM and SWIOTLB is active, the driver corrupts memory by writing an skb after the relevant DMA page has been unmapped. Although this doesn't happen when *not* using bounce buffers, clearing the pointer to the DMA page after unmapping it fixes the problem. http://marc.info/?t=120861317000005&r=2&w=2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Cliburn <jacliburn@bellsouth.net> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
