we see from http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2125 that power saving does not work well on 3945. Since then power saving has also been connected with association problems where an AP deathenticates a 3945 after it is unable to transmit data to it - this happens when 3945 enters power savings mode. Disable power save support until issues are resolved. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

I've also for a long time had a problem with the temperature calculation code, which I had fixed by byte-swapping the values, and now it turns out that was the correct fix after all. Also, any use of iwl_eeprom_query_addr() that is for more than a u8 must be cast to little endian, and some structs as well. Fix all this. Again, no real impact on platforms that already are little endian.

The construct "le16_to_cpu((__force __le16)(r >> 16))" has always bothered me when looking through the iwlwifi code, it shouldn't be necessary to __force anything, and before this code, "r" was obtained with an ioread32, which swaps each of the two u16 values in it properly when swapping the entire u32 value. I've had arguments about this code with people before, but always conceded they were right because removing it only made things not work at all on big endian platforms. However, analysing a failure of the OTP reading code, I now finally figured out what is going on, and why my intuition about that code being wrong was right all along. It turns out that the 'priv->eeprom' u8 array really wants to have the data in it in little endian. So the force code above and all really converts *to* little endian, not from it. Cf., for instance, the function iwl_eeprom_query16() -- it reads two u8 values and combines them into a u16, in a little-endian way. And considering it more, it makes sense to have the eeprom array as on the device, after all not all values really are 16-bit values, the MAC address for instance is not. Now, what this really means is that all the annotations are completely wrong. The eeprom reading code should fill the priv->eeprom array as a __le16 array, with __le16 values. This also means that iwl_read_otp_word() should really have a __le16 pointer as the data argument, since it should be filling that in a format suitable for priv->eeprom. Propagating these changes throughout, iwl_find_otp_image() is found to be, now obviously visible, defective -- it uses the data returned by iwl_read_otp_word() directly as if it was CPU endianness. Fixing that, which is this hunk of the patch: - next_link_addr = link_value * sizeof(u16); + next_link_addr = le16_to_cpu(link_value) * sizeof(u16); is the only real change of this patch. Everything else is just fixing the sparse annotations. Also, the bug only shows up on big endian platforms with a 1000 series card. 5000 and previous series do not use OTP, and 6000 series has shadow RAM support which means we don't ever use the defective code on any cards but 1000.

We've had many reports of rt61pci failures with powersaving enabled. Therefore, as a stop-gap measure, disable powersaving of the rt61pci until we have found a proper solution. Also disable powersaving on rt2800pci as it most probably will show the same problem.

sizeof(iv16) and sizeof(iv32) are the sizes of pointers. Change them to the size of the copied data. Furthermore, iveiv_entry is a local structure that has just been initialized and is not visible outside this function. Thus, there would seem to be no point to copy data into it. The order of the arguments is thus changed to copy the data into the parameters, which are provided as pointers, suggesting in this case that they should be used to return values.

First, we copy/paste the padding stuff from ath9k_tx to ath_tx_cabq since it needs to same kind of padding, but for internally generated beacons. Next, software padding done on TX needs to be removed before calling ieee80211_tx_status. The code was already there in ath_tx_complete but it was wrong. Fix it by using ath9k_cmn_padpos. This later code has been tested by sending packets to a monitor interface and reading packets from the same interface.

Recent commits "iwlwifi: remove power-wasting calls to apm_ops.init()" and "iwlagn: power up device before initializing EEPROM" had the goal of reducing device power consumption from the time the module is loaded until the interface is brought up and the device's power saving mechanisms kick in. The idea is that once the module is loaded there is no need for the device to consume power until the interface is brought up. With the current solution the device is only powered up during EEPROM read, and then so also only if the EEPROM type is OTP. We have found that on certain platforms even non-OTP devices require power to be up during EEPROM read. On these platforms the driver never loads and the system log contains the following: iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!. CSR_GP_CNTRL = 0x080403D8 We thus now power up all devices during EEPROM read. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

In iwlwifi, priv->alloc_rxb_page is used to keep track of the Rx pages allocated by the driver. This cleans up the page free routines by introducing __iwl_free_pages/iwl_free_pages so that the accounting is more accurate and less error prone. This also fixes two instances where the counter was not updated. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Without this we have no gaurantee of the integrity of the EEPROM and are likely to encounter a lot of bogus bug reports due to actual issues on the EEPROM. With the EEPROM checksum check in place we can easily rule those issues out. If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead on real concrete issues. If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM feel free to apply this there too.

About 50% of shutdowns of b44 Ethernet adapter ends by kernel panic with kernels compiled with stack-protector. Checking b44_magic_pattern() return values, one call of b44_magic_pattern() returns 127. It means, that set_bit(128, pmask) was called on line 1509. It means that bit 0 of 17th byte of pmask was overwritten. But pmask has only 16 bytes. Stack corruption happens. It seems that set_bit() on line 1509 always writes one bit off. The fix does not only solve the stack corruption, but also makes Wake On LAN working on my onboard B44 on Asus A7V-333X mainboard. It seems that this problem affects all kernel versions since commit 725ad800 ([PATCH] b44: add wol for old nic) on 2006-06-20.

It can happen, that tcp_retransmit_skb fails due to some error. In such cases we might end up into a state where tp->retrans_out is zero but that's only because we removed the TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS bit from a segment but couldn't retransmit it because of the error that happened. Therefore some assumptions that retrans_out checks are based do not necessarily hold, as there still can be an old retransmission but that is only visible in TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS bit. As retransmission happen in sequential order (except for some very rare corner cases), it's enough to check the head skb for that bit. Main reason for all this complexity is the fact that connection dying time now depends on the validity of the retrans_stamp, in particular, that successive retransmissions of a segment must not advance retrans_stamp under any conditions. It seems after quick thinking that this has relatively low impact as eventually TCP will go into CA_Loss and either use the existing check for !retrans_stamp case or send a retransmission successfully, setting a new base time for the dying timer (can happen only once). At worst, the dying time will be approximately the double of the intented time. In addition, tcp_packet_delayed() will return wrong result (has some cc aspects but due to rarity of these errors, it's hardly an issue). One of retrans_stamp clearing happens indirectly through first going into CA_Open state and then a later ACK lets the clearing to happen. Thus tcp_try_keep_open has to be modified too. Thanks to Damian Lukowski <damian@tvk.rwth-aachen.de> for hinting that this possibility exists (though the particular case discussed didn't after all have it happening but was just a debug patch artifact).

This patch fixes a problem in the TCP connection timeout calculation. Currently, timeout decisions are made on the basis of the current tcp_time_stamp and retrans_stamp, which is usually set at the first retransmission. However, if the retransmission fails in tcp_retransmit_skb(), retrans_stamp is not updated and remains zero. This leads to wrong decisions in retransmits_timed_out() if tcp_time_stamp is larger than the specified timeout, which is very likely. In this case, the TCP connection dies after the first attempted (and unsuccessful) retransmission. With this patch, tcp_skb_cb->when is used instead, when retrans_stamp is not available. This bug has been introduced together with retransmits_timed_out() in 2.6.32, as the number of retransmissions has been used for timeout decisions before. The corresponding commit was 6fa12c85 (Revert Backoff [v3]: Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.). Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for code suggestions and Frederic Leroy for testing.

Fix the locking scheme on the fec_mpc52xx driver. This device can receive IRQs from three sources; the FEC itself, the tx DMA, and the rx DMA. Mutual exclusion was handled by taking a spin_lock() in the critical regions, but because the handlers are run with IRQs enabled, spin_lock() is insufficient and the driver can end up interrupting a critical region anyway from another IRQ. Asier Llano discovered that this occurs when an error IRQ is raised in the middle of handling rx irqs which resulted in an sk_buff memory leak. In addition, locking is spotty at best in the driver and inspection revealed quite a few places with insufficient locking. This patch is based on Asier's initial work, but reworks a number of things so that locks are held for as short a time as possible, so that spin_lock_irqsave() is used everywhere, and so the locks are dropped when calling into the network stack (because the lock only protects the hardware interface; not the network stack).
