The lower limit of 80 descriptors in the ring is only valid for one older 8254x chipset. All e1000e devices can use as low as 64 descriptors. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Several components to this complex fix. The es2lan cards occasionally gave a "HW Error" especially when forcing speed. Some users also reported that the BMC stole ARP packets. The fixes include setting the proper SW_FW bits to tell the BMC that we're active and not do any un-initialization at all, so the setup routine is largely changed.

The ethtool -c / -C interface can now be used to modify the irq moderation algorithm. This change does not require an adapter reset and can thus be used at all times. The adapter only supports changing/reading rx-usecs which has special values for 0, 1 and 3: 0 - no irq moderation whatsoever 1 - normal moderation favoring regular mixed traffic (default) 3 - best attempt at low latency possible at cost of CPU For values between 10 and 10000 the rx-usecs defines "the minimum time between successive irqs" in usec, unlike the module parameter.

Several stats registers are completely unused and we just waste pci bus time reading them. We also omit using the high 32 bits of the GORC/ GOTC counters. We can just read clear them and only read the low registers. Mii-tool can also break es2lan if it executes a MII PHY register ioctl while the device is in autonegotiation. Unfortunately it seems that several applications and installations still perform this ioctl call periodically and especially in this crucial startup time. We can fool the ioctl by providing fail safe information that mimics the "down" link state and only perform the dangerous PHY reads once after link comes up to fill in the real values. As long as link stays up the information will not change.

ASSERT_RTNL uses mutex_trylock to test whether the rtnl_mutex is held. This bogus warnings when running in atomic context, which f.e. happens when adding secondary unicast addresses through macvlan or vlan or when synchronizing multicast addresses from wireless devices. Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates to process context since the locking seems overly complicated, for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to use mutex_is_locked().

Commit b716bb91 ("iwlwifi: Cancel scanning upon association") moved the test of priv->vif in iwl{3945,4964}_mac_config_interface() outside of where priv->mutex is held, but still tries to do mutex_unlock() on return. This is clearly wrong and triggers a nasty lockdep warning when this codepath is triggered. Fix this by removing the mutex_unlock().

This patch updates mesh EID values, some of which where conflicting with already-approved 11h EIDs (pointed out by Tomas Winkler). I wanted to use the values suggested in the last available 802.11 draft (2.0) but it assigns 50 to MESH_CONFIG, the same value than EXT_SUPP_RATES.

Some mainboards/CPUs don't allow DMA masks bigger than a certain limit. Some VIA crap^h^h^h^hdevices have an upper limit of 0xFFFFFFFF. So in this case a 64-bit b43 device would always fail to acquire the mask. Implement a workaround to fallback to lower DMA mask, as we can always also support a lower mask.

The put routine first decrements the users counter and then (if it is zero) locks the sta_bss_lock and removes one from the list and the hash. Thus, any of ieee80211_sta_config_auth, ieee80211_rx_bss_get or ieee80211_rx_mesh_bss_get can race with it by finding a bss that is about to get kfree-ed. Using atomic_dec_and_lock in ieee80211_rx_bss_put takes care of this race. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This adds a workaround for invalid bluetooth SPROM settings on ASUS PCI cards. This will stop the microcode from poking with the BT GPIO line. This fixes data transmission on this device, as the BT GPIO line is used for something TX related on this device (probably the power amplifier or the radio). This also adds a modparam knob to help debugging this in the future, as more devices with this bug may show up. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

Abhijeet Kolekar authored
There are two structures named wmm_info and wmm_param, they are used while parsing the beacon frame. (Check the function ieee802_11_parse_elems). Certain APs like D-link does not set the fifth bit in WMM IE. While sending the association request to n-only ap it checks for wmm_ie. If it is set then only ieee80211_ht_cap is sent during association request. So n-only association fails. And this patch fixes this problem by copying the wmm_info to wmm_ie, which enables the "wmm" flag in iee80211_send_assoc.

As it stands it's impossible to use any authentication algorithms with an ID above 31 portably. It just happens to work on x86 but fails miserably on ppc64. The reason is that we're using a bit mask to check the algorithm ID but the mask is only 32 bits wide. After looking at how this is used in the field, I have concluded that in the long term we should phase out state matching by IDs because this is made superfluous by the reqid feature. For current applications, the best solution IMHO is to allow all algorithms when the bit masks are all ~0. The following patch does exactly that. This bug was identified by IBM when testing on the ppc64 platform using the NULL authentication algorithm which has an ID of 251.
