2014-01-10net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwardingJason Wang
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.

When not aggregating packets, fi->framelen should be passed in as length to calculate the duration. Before the tx path rework, ath_tx_fill_desc was called for either one aggregate, or one single frame, with the length of the packet or the aggregate as a parameter. After the rework, ath_tx_sched_aggr can pass a burst of single frames to ath_tx_fill_desc and sets len=0.

This patch is very similar to a previous fix: 22cba0c0852f When we disassociate, mac80211 removes the station and then, it sets the bss it unsets the assoc bool in bss_info. Since the firwmware wants it the opposite (first set the MAC context as unassoc, and only then, remove the STA of the API), we have a small period of time in which the STA in firmware doesn't have a valid ieee80211_sta pointer. During that time, iwl_mvm_vif->ap_sta_id, is still set to the STA in firmware that represent the AP. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

2013-11-25iwlwifi: pcie: fix interrupt coalescing for 7260 / 3160Emmanuel Grumbach
We changed the timeout for the interrupt coealescing for calibration, but that wasn't effective since we changed that value back before loading the firmware. Since calibrations are notification from firmware and not Rx packets, this doesn't change anyway - the firmware will fire an interrupt straight away regardless of the interrupt coalescing value. Also, a HW issue has been discovered in 7000 devices series. The work around is to disable the new interrupt coalescing timeout feature - do this by setting bit 31 in CSR_INT_COALESCING. This has been fixed in 7265 which means that we can't rely on the device family and must have a hint in the iwl_cfg structure.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer period of time" 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink registration. Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant counts for their ops array rather than something like ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar. Also, some genetlink protocols were using fixed IDs for their multicast groups. We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by other protocols can not possibly conflict. In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state management for genetlink operations and multicast groups. 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value is one the driver actually supports. From Ben Hutchings. 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar. 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order relative to skb_scrub_packet(). From Alexei Starovoitov. 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid. Fix from Toshiaki Makita. 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita. 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance decrease. One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in wireless. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts here. Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones. 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn. 10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the virtio-net header into account. From Michael Dalton. 11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt. statistic bumping, this one has been with us for a while. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik Hugne. 13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka Rissanen. 14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt. propagating LRO disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way. From Michal Kubecek. 15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from Daniel Mack. 16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet. 17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue. 18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little. Fix from Vlad Yasevich. 19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to userspace. From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

2013-11-19genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops()Johannes Berg
As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

2013-11-15ath: fix dynamic user regulatory settingsLuis R. Rodriguez
A world regulatory domain check was in place that prevents user dynamic regulatory hints from being processed. This was there for historical reasons as this was only possible previously for world roaming cards and dynamic regulatory settings was only possible for country IEs. Fix this by enforcing the world regulatory domain check only for when the initiator is a country IE. Support for dynamic user regulatory support is already checked. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2013-11-15kfifo API type safetyStefani Seibold
This patch enhances the type safety for the kfifo API. It is now safe to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination address is pointing to a const variable. As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element instead a pointer to the element. This was suggested Russell King. It make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass integers of different sizes. IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of kfifo_put(). The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.

Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless 2013-11-14 Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.13 stream! Amitkumar Karwar offers a quartet of mwifiex fixes, including an endian fix and three fixes for invalid memory access. Avinash Patil trims the packet length value for packets received from an SDIO interface. Colin Ian King fixes a NULL pointer dereference in the rtlwifi efuse code. Dan Carpenter cleans-up an mwifiex integer underflow, a potential libertas oops, a memory corrupion bug in wcn36xx, and a locking issue also in wcn36xx. Dan Williams helps prism54 devices to avoid being misclassified as Ethernet devices. Felipe Pena fixes a couple of typo errors, one in rt2x00 and the other in rtlwifi. Janusz Dziedzic corrects a pair of DFS-related problems in ath9k. Larry Finger patches three rtlwifi drivers to correctly report signal strength even for an unassociated AP. Mark Cave-Ayland rewrites some endian-illiterate packet type extraction code in rtlwifi. Stanislaw Gruszka addresses an rt2x00 regression related to setting HT station WCID and AMPDU density parameters. Sujith Manoharan corrects the initvals settings for AR9485. Ujjal Roy patches an obscure bit of code in mwifiex that was using the wrong definition of eth_hdr when briding patches in AP mode. Wei Yongjun fixes a couple of bugs: one is a return code handling bug in libertas; and, the other is a locking issue in wcn36xx. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
