2010-06-11ip: ip_ra_control() rcu fixEric Dumazet2-5/+19
commit 66018506e15b (ip: Router Alert RCU conversion) introduced RCU lookups to ip_call_ra_chain(). It missed proper deinit phase : When ip_ra_control() deletes an ip_ra_chain, it should make sure ip_call_ra_chain() users can not start to use socket during the rcu grace period. It should also delay the sock_put() after the grace period, or we risk a premature socket freeing and corruptions, as raw sockets are not rcu protected yet. This delay avoids using expensive atomic_inc_not_zero() in ip_call_ra_chain(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-06-08wl1251: fix ELP_CTRL register readsGrazvydas Ignotas1-6/+34
Reading the ELP_CTRL register with sdio_readb causes problems because hardware seems to be performing a write using stuff bits in the request (those bits contain write data in write request). This indicates that it actually expects RAW (read after write) type of request, so perform that when reading ELP_CTRL instead. Also cache last written value so we know what to write when doing RAW request. Because of the above it was not possible to wake the chip from ELP power saving mode, PM had to be disabled to have the driver usable in SDIO mode. After this patch PM is functional. For backporting to 2.6.34 or earlier, this patch depends on 6c1f716e8154ee9315534782b9b1eedea0559a24, which adds the required SDIO funcion.

There's a window for ieee80211_ifa_changed() to get called whilst the managed mode mutex has not been initialized when opening and stopping the interface.

[ 132.460013] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP The mutex is initialized during open(), hence once netif_running() is true, the mutex should be valid.

Collect all pieces concering the antenna switch table into one function. Previously it was split up between ath5k_hw_reset() and ath5k_hw_commit_eeprom_settings(). Also we need to set the antenna switch table when ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode() is called manually (by "iw phy0 antenna set", for example). I'm not sure if we need to set the switchtable at the same place in ath5k_hw_reset() as it was before - it is set later thru ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode() anyways - but i leave it there to avoid problems(?).

2010-06-07tcp: Fix slowness in read /proc/net/tcpTom Herbert2-9/+86
This patch address a serious performance issue in reading the TCP sockets table (/proc/net/tcp). Reading the full table is done by a number of sequential read operations. At each read operation, a seek is done to find the last socket that was previously read. This seek operation requires that the sockets in the table need to be counted up to the current file position, and to count each of these requires taking a lock for each non-empty bucket. The whole algorithm is O(n^2). The fix is to cache the last bucket value, offset within the bucket, and the file position returned by the last read operation. On the next sequential read, the bucket and offset are used to find the last read socket immediately without needing ot scan the previous buckets the table. This algorithm t read the whole table is O(n). The improvement offered by this patch is easily show by performing cat'ing /proc/net/tcp on a machine with a lot of connections. With about 182K connections in the table, I see the following: - Without patch time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null real 1m56.729s user 0m0.214s sys 1m56.344s - With patch time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null real 0m0.894s user 0m0.290s sys 0m0.594s Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-06-07r8169: fix random mdio_write failuresTimo Teräs1-0/+5
Some configurations need delay between the "write completed" indication and new write to work reliably. Realtek driver seems to use longer delay when polling the "write complete" bit, so it waits long enough between writes with high probability (but could probably break too). This patch adds a new udelay to make sure we wait unconditionally some time after the write complete indication. This caused a regression with XID 18000000 boards when the board specific phy configuration writing many mdio registers was added in commit 2e955856ff (r8169: phy init for the 8169scd). Some of the configration mdio writes would almost always fail, and depending on failure might leave the PHY in non-working state.

2010-06-06iwlwifi: fix wrapping when handling aggregated batchesDaniel Halperin1-6/+45
Fairly complex code in iwlagn_tx_status_reply_tx handle the status reports for aggregated packet batches sent by the NIC. This code aims to handle the case where the NIC retransmits failed packets from a previous batch; the status information for these packets can sometimes be inserted in the middle of a batch and are actually not in order by sequence number! (I verified this can happen with printk's in the function.) The code in question adaptively identifies the "first" frame of the batch, taking into account that it may not be the one corresponding to the first agg status report, and also handles the case when the set of sent packets wraps the 256-character entry buffer. It generates the agg->bitmap field of sent packets which is later compared to the BlockAck response from the receiver to see which frames of those sent in this batch were ACKed. A small logic error (wrapping by 0xff==255 instead of 0x100==256) was causing the agg->bitmap to be set incorrectly. Fix this wrapping code, and add extensive comments to clarify what is going on.

2010-06-06iwlwifi: parse block ack responses correctlyDaniel Halperin1-5/+8
Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission; e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame is seq 2). The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets, maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as well as driver and uCode. Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed. In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g., http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1968 http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2098 http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2018 Signed-off-by: Daniel Halperin <dhalperi@cs.washington.edu> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>

2010-06-06iwlwifi: queue user-initiated scan when doing internal scanJohannes Berg3-11/+31
The internal scanning created a problem where when userspace tries to scan, the scan gets rejected. Instead of doing that, queue up the user-initiated scan when doing an internal scan. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>
