* mac80211: use offchannel queue only when supportedEliad Peller2012-06-051-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3a25a8c ("mac80211: add improved HW queue control") added support for offchannel queue mapping. However, this mapping is only valid when the driver supports IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL. Check whether the driver supports IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL before setting the hw_queue to the mapped offchannel queue. (This patch doesn't have any actual effect, because hw_queue is overridden in ieee80211_tx() anyway, so this is merely some cleanup) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available, set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying. If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a few seconds or even several minutes.

| * | 8139cp/8139too: terminate the eeprom access with the right opmodeJason Wang2012-06-012-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we terminate the eeprom access through clearing the CS by: RTL_W8 (Cfg9346, ~EE_CS); or writeb (~EE_CS, ee_addr); This would left the eeprom into "Config. Register Write Enable:" state which is not expcted as the highest two bits were set to 0x11 ( expected is the "Normal" mode (0x00)). Solving this by write 0x0 instead of ~EE_CS when terminating the eeprom access. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | 8139cp: set ring address before enabling receiverJason Wang2012-06-011-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we enable the receiver before setting the ring address which could lead the card DMA into unexpected areas. Solving this by set the ring address before enabling the receiver. btw. I find and test this in qemu as I didn't have a 8139cp card in hand. please review it carefully.

| * | cipso: handle CIPSO options correctly when NetLabel is disabledPaul Moore2012-06-011-1/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When NetLabel is not enabled, e.g. CONFIG_NETLABEL=n, and the system receives a CIPSO tagged packet it is dropped (cipso_v4_validate() returns non-zero). In most cases this is the correct and desired behavior, however, in the case where we are simply forwarding the traffic, e.g. acting as a network bridge, this becomes a problem. This patch fixes the forwarding problem by providing the basic CIPSO validation code directly in ip_options_compile() without the need for the NetLabel or CIPSO code. The new validation code can not perform any of the CIPSO option label/value verification that cipso_v4_validate() does, but it can verify the basic CIPSO option format. The behavior when NetLabel is enabled is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | net: sock: validate data_len before allocating skb in sock_alloc_send_pskb()Jason Wang2012-06-011-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to validate the number of pages consumed by data_len, otherwise frags array could be overflowed by userspace. So this patch validate data_len and return -EMSGSIZE when data_len may occupies more frags than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

At f), according to the comment, all_prev_completed becomes true and limit should be increased. But POSDIFF() ignores (completed == dql->prev_num_queued) case, so limit is decreased.
