Due to usage of memmove() in rt2x00usb the descriptor can become corrupted because it is being overwritten by the data part. Overall having the descriptor in front of the frame is a bad idea, we can however use the skb->cb array for this task, since that contains more then enough room to hold the entire descriptor and preserve the information long enough. After this we can also cleanup the alignment code a bit to make it work a bit more flexible to allow for all kinds of odd header lengths.

With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected. The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use, and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation. Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents inside a mac80211 structure.

Move the last remaining information details read from ieee80211_tx_control in the drivers to the txentry_desc structure. After this we can remove ieee80211_tx_control from the argument list for the callback function, which makes it easier when the control information is moved into skb->cb Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the status of the tx action. This would lead to frames that were reported as success but actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither successfull or failure which were reported as failure. Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames. This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure, so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

Remove frame_type from skb_frame_desc and pass it as argument to rt2x00debug_dump_frame(). Change data_len and desc_len to unsigned short to save another 4 bytes in skb_frame_desc. Note that this was the only location where the data_len and desc_len was not yet treated as unsigned short. This trim is required to help mac80211 with adding the TX control and TX status informtation into the skb->cb structure. When that happens, drivers will have approximately 40 bytes left to use freely. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This patch contains a set of cosmetic changes to TIPC's network topology service subsystem, including: - updates to comments (including copyright dates) - re-ordering structure fields to group them more logically - removal of optional debugging code that is no longer required - minor changes to whitespace to conform to Linux coding conventions Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa, this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50% in the default configuration. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch fixes TIPC's topology server so that it does byte swapping correctly when endianness conversion is required. (Note: This bug only impacted an application if it issues a subscription request to a topology server on another node, rather than the server on it's own node; since the topology server is normally not accessible by off-node applications, most TIPC applications were not impacted by the bug.)

Instead of assigning values for the struct cpu_reg's at runtime, we already know these values at compile time.

The rx_offset field is set to a constant value and initialized only once. By replacing all references to the rx_offset field, we can eliminate rx_offset from the bnx2 structure.

Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> found that netconsole would panic when resetting bnx2 devices. >From Andy: "The issue is the bnx2_set_link in bnx2_init_nic will print a link-status message before we are fully initialized and ready to start polling. Polling is currently disabled in this state, but since the __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED is overloaded to not only try and disable polling but also to make the system aware there is something waiting to be polled, we really have to fix this in drivers. The problematic call is the one to netif_rx_complete as it tries to remove an entry from the poll_list when there isn't one." While this netconsole problem should be fixed separately, we really should not reset the PHY when changing ring sizes, MTU, or other similar settings. The PHY reset causes several seconds of unnecessary link disruptions. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Acked-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

The use of cli()/sti() within the do/while was a way to ensure interrupts were only disabled for short periods of time while the bulk of the time interrupts were free to occur. The use of the spin lock has eliminated the need to play with interrupts in this way while still allowing for IO to be protected. The remaining 3 sti() calls seem unneeded now that at no other point in the driver is there a call to cli().

The atm_tcp.h uses types from linux/atm.h, but does not include it. It should also use the standard __u## types from linux/types.h rather than the uint##_t types since the former can be found with the kernel already. Same goes for linux/atm.h. The linux/socket.h include there also gets dropped as atm.h does not actually use anything from socket.h.

It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to generate bogus backtrace and errors. Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.

As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock, get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits. For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock. Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated. With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held. Thanks to Dan Williams for review and fixing the silly bugs.

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page. Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype() returns also random stuff and therefore list_add(&page->lru, &zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]); in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even necessarily a list. This happens since 86051ca5 ("mm: fix usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span() are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens. The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

There is a defect in mprotect, which lets the user change the page cache type bits by-passing the kernel reserve_memtype and free_memtype wrappers.

Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in vmlinux.lds, not by module loader. To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group ".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu" for modules. Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

This fix the uninitialized bs when we try to replace a xattr entry in ibody with the new value which require more than free space. This situation only happens we format ext3/4 with inode size more than 128 and we have put xattr entries both in ibody and block. The consequences about this bug is we will lost the xattr block which pointed by i_file_acl with all xattr entires in it. We will alloc a new xattr block and put that large value entry in it. The old xattr block will become orphan block.
