Luis reported this lockdep complaint, that he had also reported earlier but when trying to analyse I had been locking at the wrong code, and never saw the problem: (slightly abridged) ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.31-rc4-wl #6 ------------------------------------------------------- wpa_supplicant/3799 is trying to acquire lock: (cfg80211_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa009246a>] cfg80211_get_dev_from_ifindex+0x1a/0x90 [cfg80211] but task is already holding lock: (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81400ff2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}: [<ffffffff810857b6>] __lock_acquire+0xd76/0x12b0 [<ffffffff81085dd3>] lock_acquire+0xe3/0x120 [<ffffffff814ee7a4>] mutex_lock_nested+0x44/0x350 [<ffffffff81400ff2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20 [<ffffffffa009f6a5>] nl80211_send_reg_change_event+0x1f5/0x2a0 [cfg80211] [<ffffffffa009529e>] set_regdom+0x28e/0x4c0 [cfg80211] -> #0 (cfg80211_mutex){+.+.+.}: [<ffffffff8108587b>] __lock_acquire+0xe3b/0x12b0 [<ffffffff81085dd3>] lock_acquire+0xe3/0x120 [<ffffffff814ee7a4>] mutex_lock_nested+0x44/0x350 [<ffffffffa009246a>] cfg80211_get_dev_from_ifindex+0x1a/0x90 [cfg80211] [<ffffffffa009813f>] get_rdev_dev_by_info_ifindex+0x6f/0xa0 [cfg80211] [<ffffffffa009b12b>] nl80211_set_interface+0x3b/0x260 [cfg80211] When looking at the correct code, the problem is quite obvious. I'm not entirely sure which code paths lead here, so until I can analyse it better let's just use RCU to avoid the problem. Signed-off-by:Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by:

Commit "iwlwifi: Handle new firmware file with ucode build number in header" introduced new ucode header parsing routines, but neglected to initialize these routines for 1000. The system thus goes into infinite loop trying to load ucode, failing every time with a null pointer exception as it tries to parse the header. Signed-off-by:

No existing callbacks use anything other than the return value 1, which means that the caller should free the reply skb, so it seems safer in terms of not introducing memory leaks to simply remove the return value and let the caller always free the skb. Signed-off-by:

The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess: 1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver and device data in a single packed structure -- this is very confusing 2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a structure by embedding the latter in the former, which is also rather confusing because it leads to weird unions and similarly odd constructs 3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands, even if only 32 end up being used This patch fixes these things: 1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of command metadata and device command separately, in two arrays in each tx queue 2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only put in the required members 3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of embedding them into the txq structure Signed-off-by: -

Part 1 of Thermal Throttling Management - Thermal Throttling feature is used to put NIC into low power state when driver detect the Radio temperature reach pre-defined threshold Two Thermal Throttling Management Methods; this patch introduce the Legacy Thermal Management: IWL_TI_0: normal temperature, system power state IWL_TI_1: high temperature detect, low power state IWL_TI_2: higher temperature detected, lower power state IWL_TI_CT_KILL: critical temperature detected, lowest power state Once get into CT_KILL state, uCode go into sleep, driver will stop all the active queues, then move to IWL_TI_CT_KILL state; also set up 5 seconds timer to toggle CSR flag, uCode wake up upon CSR flag change, then measure the temperature. If temperature is above CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode go backto sleep; if temperature is below CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode send Card State Notification response with appropriate CT_KILL status flag, and uCode remain awake, Driver receive Card State Notification Response and update the card temperature to the CT_KILL exit threshold.

If advance thermal throttling is used the driver need to pass both "enter" and "exit" temperature to uCode. Using different critical temperature threshold for legacy and advance thermal throttling management based on the type of thermal throttling method is used except 1000. For 1000, it use advance thermal throttling critical temperature threshold, but with legacy thermal management implementation until ucode has the necessary implementations in place. Signed-off-by:

When performing rate scaling, if detected that the new rate index is invalid, clear the search_better_tbl flag so it will not be stuck in the loop. Since the search table is already set up in uCode, we need to empty out the the search table; revert back to the "active" rate and throughput info. Also pass the "active" table setup to uCode to make sure the rate scale is functioning correctly. Signed-off-by:

This was caused by patch: "mac80211: cooperate more with network namespaces" The version of the patch applied doesn't match Johannes' latest: http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/patches/kernel/all/LATEST/NNN-mac80211-netns.patch The skb->cb virtual interface data wasn't being reset for reuse so ath9k pooped out when trying to dereference the private rate control info from the skb.

When a station queries us for a PS-poll response, we wrongly queue the frame on the virtual interface's queue rather than the pending queue. Additionally, fix a race condition where we could potentially send multiple frames to the sleeping station due to using a station flag rather than a packet flag. When converting to a packet flag, we can also convert p54 and remove the filter clearing we added for it. (Also remove a now dead function) Signed-off-by:

We were issuing probe requests to the associated AP on the wrong band by having our beacon timer loss trigger while we are scanning. When we would scan the timer could hit and force us to send a probe request to the AP but with a chance we'd be on the wrong band. This leads to finding no usable bitrate but we should not get so far on the xmit path. We should not be trying to send these probe request frames so prevent ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap() from sending these. As it turns out all callers of ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap() need this check so we just move the scan check there. This means we can remove the recenlty added check during ieee80211_sta_monitor_work(). Additionally we now fix a race condition added by the patch "mac80211: do not monitor the connection while scanning" which had the same check in ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer(). The race happens because the timer routine *does* a valid check for scanning but after it queues work into the mac80211 workqueue the work callback can kick off with scanning enabled and cause the same issue we were trying to avoid. The more appropriate solution would be to disable the respective timers during scan and re-enable them after scan but requires more complex code and testing.

When a new MLME work is created, its timeout is initialised to 0. This is wrong, it could then be thought of as having an actual timeout in the future (time_is_after_jiffies() can return true). Instead, it should be initialised to jiffies so that it will run right away as soon as the mlme work is executed. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a new scan flag "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL" which basically tells us that we are currently on a different channel for scanning and cannot RX/TX. "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" tells us that we are currently running a software scan but we might as well be on the operating channel to RX/TX. While "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" is set during the whole scan "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL" is set when leaving the operating channel and unset when coming back. Introduce two new scan states "SCAN_LEAVE_OPER_CHANNEL" and "SCAN_ENTER_OPER_CHANNEL" which basically implement the functionality we need to leave the operating channel (send a nullfunc to the AP and stop the queues) and enter it again (send a nullfunc to the AP and start the queues again). Enhance the scan state "SCAN_DECISION" to switch back to the operating channel after each scanned channel. In the future it sould be simple to enhance the decision state to scan as much channels in a row as the qos latency allows us. Signed-off-by:

rt2x00dev->default_ant should be initialized once by the driver, and should not be changed afterwards. Because rt2x00lib_config_antenna() was using a reference to the struct antenna_setup it actually had the oppurtunity to change the default antenna setting and it actually did that during the validation. Instead of passing a pointer to antenna_setup the entire structure should be copied. Signed-off-by:

This finally opens up the ability to put mac80211 devices into different network namespaces. As long as you don't have sysfs, that is. Signed-off-by:

Johannes Berg authored
In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces, we have to do the following things: * del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather than a netdev pointer - simply change this * nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's network namespace * scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer and reference instead * we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be in one netns together, so - we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so export dev_change_net_namespace() - for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns, to disallow breaking this invariant * when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the wiphy to init_net * cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects only mac80211 The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into a different network namespace with the new command iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid> and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).

There are still two places in mac80211 that hardcode the initial net namespace (init_net). One of them is mandated by cfg80211 and will be removed by a separate patch, the other one is used for finding the network device of a pending packet via its ifindex. Remove the latter use by keeping track of the device pointer itself, via the vif pointer, and avoid it going stale by dropping pending frames for a given interface when the interface is removed. To keep track of the vif pointer for the correct interface, change the info->control.vif pointer's internal use to always be the correct vif, and only move it to the vif the driver expects (or NULL for monitor interfaces and injected packets) right before giving the packet to the driver.
