This eliminates the following often-generated warning from my 64 bit Opteron SMP test stand: eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq According to the web, the problem is that the forcedeth driver has a too-low value for max_interrupt_work. Grepping the kernel I see that forcedeth has the second lowest value of all ethernet drivers (ie, 6). Most are in the 20-40 range. So this patch increases this a bit, from 6 to 15 (at 15 forcedeth becomes the driver with third-lowest max_interrupt_work value). My test stand, which used to print out the above warnings repetitively whenever it was under heavy net load, no longer does so.

Corey Minyard spotted a missing memory barrier in udp_lib_get_port() We need to make sure a reader cannot read the new 'sk->sk_next' value and previous value of 'sk->sk_hash'. Or else, an item could be deleted from a chain, and inserted into another chain. If new chain was empty before the move, 'next' pointer is NULL, and lockless reader can not detect it missed following items in original chain. This patch is temporary, since we expect an upcoming patch to introduce another way of handling the problem. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

RFC4301 Section 7.1 says: "7.1. Tunnel Mode SAs that Carry Initial and Non-Initial Fragments All implementations MUST support tunnel mode SAs that are configured to pass traffic without regard to port field (or ICMP type/code or Mobility Header type) values. If the SA will carry traffic for specified protocols, the selector set for the SA MUST specify the port fields (or ICMP type/code or Mobility Header type) as ANY. An SA defined in this fashion will carry all traffic including initial and non-initial fragments for the indicated Local/Remote addresses and specified Next Layer protocol(s)." But for IPv6, fragment is treated as a protocol. This change catches protocol transported in fragmented packet. In IPv4, there is no problem.

If card is using downloadable firmware (like Agere 9.x), firmware has to be reloaded during resume. It is not possible to use request_firmware for that, because tasks are still frozen, so request_firmware will just timeout and fail. So cache firmware image in memory for later reuse in ->resume method. Signed-off-by: Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

*Properly get/set all available ISR/IMR values and review common/uncommon bits *Better handling of per-txq interrupts (we can now resolve what q is generating each interrupt -this will help in debuging wme later) *Some minor updates from legacy-hal *Properly handle RXNOFRM and TXNOFRM interrupt masking (even when we don't set them on IMR they keep showing up, so we disable them by zeroing AR5K_RXNOFRM and AR5K_TXNOFRM registers). This doesn't exist on legacy-hal but i've tested it on various cards and it works fine. Changes-Licensed-under: ISC Signed-Off-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This function has a few WARNs that may eventually trigger when an AP sends rogue beacons, those must be removed. Some of the comments in the function are also inappropriate as this function is concerned with the global hint, not a per- wiphy thing (which a multidomain flag on a wiphy would imply). I'm convinced that we don't need to do anything to implement multi-domain capability as 802.11-2007 specifies it because it makes only two things mandatory: * starting of BSS/IBSS must have country information (this can easily be done with a mac80211 patch) * a STA must adopt the country information (we already have the framework for this) But we don't have anything implemented anyway for now.

The code needs to be split out and cleaned up, so as a first step remove the capability, to add it back in a subsequent patch as a separate function. Also remove the publically facing return value of the function and the wiphy argument. A number of internal functions go from being generic helpers to just being used for alpha2 setting.

The problem fixed here is that iwl3945_mac_get_tsf() returns 0, as the function is not implemented, and this is considered as a valid value by the mac layer in mlme.c:1605. The consequence is that the STA in ad-hoc mode is inserted/removed quite frequently due to IBSS merging.

In iwl_bg_request_scan function, if we could not send a scan command it will go to done. In done it does the right thing to call mac80211 with scan complete, but the problem is STATUS_SCAN_HW is still set causing any future scan to fail.

Wireless HW without any dedicated queues for aggregation do not need the ampdu_queues mechanism present right now in mac80211. Since mac80211 is still incomplete wrt TX MQ changes, do not allow aggregation sessions for drivers that set ampdu_queues. This is only an interim hack until Intel fixes the requeue issue.

We do not know what max power to allow until a device is targeting a channel, therefore only allow changing tx power if a channel is defined. Also make use of the channel's max power setting as defined by regulatory rules before allowing the user to use the requested power setting.
