2009-06-13bonding: network device names are case sensativeStephen Hemminger
The bonding device acts unlike all other Linux network device functions in that it ignores case of device names. The developer must have come from windows! Cleanup the management of names and use standard routines where possible. Flag places where bonding device still doesn't work right with network namespaces.

2009-06-13bonding: elminate bad refcount codeStephen Hemminger

It is not safe to use a network device destructor that is a function in the module, since it can be called after module is unloaded if sysfs handle is open.

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: use -EL3RST to indicate device reset instead of -ERESTARTSYSCindy H Kao
When the i2400m device resets, the driver code will force some functions to return a -ERESTARTSYS error code, which can is used by the caller to determine which recovery actions to take. However, in certain situations the only thing that can be done is to bubble up said error code to user space, for handling. However, -ERESTARSYS was a poor choice, as it is supposed to be used by the kernel only. As such, replace -ERESTARTSYS with -EL3RST; as well, in i2400m_msg_to_dev(), when the device is in boot mode (following a recent reset), return -EL3RST instead of -ENODEV (meaning the device is in bootrom mode after a reset, not that the device was disconnected, and thus, normal commands cannot be executed).

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: when bootstrap fails, reinitialize the bootromCindy H Kao
When a device reset happens during firmware load [in i2400m_dev_bootstrap()], __i2400m_dev_start() will retry a number of times. However, for those retries to be able to accomplish anything, the device's bootrom has to be reinitialized. Thus, on the retry path, pass the I2400M_MAC_REINIT to the firmware load code.

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m/sdio: Move all the RX code to a unified, IRQ based receive routineInaky Perez-Gonzalez
The current SDIO code was working in polling mode for boot-mode (firmware load) mode. This was causing issues on some hardware. Moved all the RX code to use a unified IRQ handler that based on the type of data the device is sending can discriminate and decide which is the right destination. As well, all the reads from the device are made to be at least the block size (256); the driver will ignore the rest when not needed.

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: don't reset device when bootrom init retries are exceededInaky Perez-Gonzalez
When i2400m_bootrom_init() fails to put the device into a state of being ready to accept firmware, the driver was currently trying to reset it if it failed to do so. This is not too useful; as part of trying to put the device in the right state a few resets have already been tried. At this point, things are probably fried out and an extra reset might do more harm than good (for example causing reseting of other functions in the same composite device). So it is left up to the callers to determine the error path to take (at the end this is always i2400m_setup(), who depending on how many retries are left, might give up on the device).

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: move boot time poke table out of common driverDirk Brandewie
This change moves the table of "pokes" performed on the device at boot time to the bus specific portion of the driver. Different models of the i2400m device supported by this driver require different poke tables, thus having a single table that works for all is impossible. For that, the table is moved to the bus-specific driver, who can decide which table to use based on the specifics of the device and point the generic driver to it.

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: Allow bus-specific driver to specify retry countInaky Perez-Gonzalez
The code that sets up the i2400m (firmware load and general driver setup after it) includes a couple of retry loops. The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that require trying a few more times. To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the bus-specific driver, which the general driver takes as a parameter.

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: don't reset device on i2400m_dev_shutdown()Inaky Perez-Gonzalez
i2400m_dev_shutdown() tried to reset the device to put it in a known state before shutting down. But that turned out to be pointless. We reach this case in two paths: 1 - when the device resets, to clean up state 2 - when the driver is unloaded, for the same however, in both cases it is pointless; in (1) the device is already reset, why do it again? in (2) we can't -- the USB stack, for example, doesn't allow communicating with the device when the driver is being unbound and if the device is disconnected, the device is gone already. So just remove it. Leave the function as a placeholder for future cleanups that will be done from data allocated by the driver during device operation.

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: fix panic due to missed corner cases on tail_room calculationInaky Perez-Gonzalez
i2400m_tx_skip_tail() needs to handle the special case of being called when the tail room that is left over in the FIFO is zero. This happens when a TX message header was opened at the very end of the FIFO (without payloads). The i2400m_tx_close() code already marked said TX message (header) to be skipped and this function should be doing nothing. It is called anyway because it is part of a common "corner case" path handling which takes care of more cases than only this one. The tail room computation was also improved to take care of the case when tx_in is at the end of the buffer boundary; tail_room has to be modded (%) to the buffer size. To do that in a single well-documented place, __i2400m_tx_tail_room() is introduced and used. Treat i2400m->tx_in == 0 as a corner case and handle it accordingly. Found and diagnosed by Cindy H. Kao.

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: fix panic/warnings caused by missed check on empty TX messageInaky Perez-Gonzalez
In some situations, when a new TX message header is started, there might be no space for data payloads. In this case the message is left with zero payloads and the i2400m_tx_close() function has just to mark it as "to skip". If it tries to go ahead it will overwrite things because there is no space to add padding as defined by the bus-specific layer. This can cause buffer overruns and in some stress cases, panics. Found and diagnosed by Cindy H. Kao. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: don't call netif_start_queue() in _tx_msg_sent()Inaky Perez-Gonzalez
Reported and fixed by Cindy H Kao. When the device is stopped __i2400m_dev_stop() stops the network queue. However, when this is done in the middle of heavy network operation, when the bus-specific subdriver is still wrapping up and it reports a sent TX transaction with _tx_msg_sent() right after the device was stopped, the queue was being started again, which was causing a stream of oopsen and finally a panic. In any case, said call has no place there. It's a left over from an early implementation that was discarded later on. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>
2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: introduce module parameter to disable entering power saveInaky Perez-Gonzalez
The i2400m driver waits for the device to report being ready for entering power save before asking it to do so. This module parameter allows control of said operation; if disabled, the driver won't ask the device to enter power save mode. This is useful in setups where power saving is not so important or when the overhead imposed by network reentry after power save is not acceptable; by combining this with parameter 'idle_mode_disabled', the driver will always maintain both the connection and the device in active state.
