| * | tcp: Fix a connect() race with timewait socketsEric Dumazet2009-12-088-17/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First patch changes __inet_hash_nolisten() and __inet6_hash() to get a timewait parameter to be able to unhash it from ehash at same time the new socket is inserted in hash. This makes sure timewait socket wont be found by a concurrent writer in __inet_check_established() Reported-by: kapil dakhane <kdakhane@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug in ath9k's tx status check, which caused mac80211 to consider regularly transmitted unicast frames as un-acked. When checking the ts_status field for errors, it needs to be masked with ATH9K_TXERR_FILT, because this field also contains other fields like ATH9K_TX_ACKED. Without this patch, AP mode is pretty much unusable, as hostapd checks the ACK status for the frames that it injects. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | * | mac80211: Fix bug in computing crc over dynamic IEs in beaconVasanthakumar Thiagarajan2009-12-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a 32-bit machine, BIT() macro does not give the required bit value if the bit is mroe than 31. In ieee802_11_parse_elems_crc(), BIT() is suppossed to get the bit value more than 31 (42 (id of ERP_INFO_IE), 37 (CHANNEL_SWITCH_IE), (42), 32 (POWER_CONSTRAINT_IE), 45 (HT_CAP_IE), 61 (HT_INFO_IE)). As we do not get the required bit value for the above IEs, crc over these IEs are never calculated, so any dynamic change in these IEs after the association is not really handled on 32-bit platforms.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The time between loading the helper image and starting to upload the main firmware image should be at least 5 ms or so. We were doing an msleep(1) before, and 1 ms appears to not be enough in almost all cases, but building with HZ=100 has always masked this so far. Bumping the msleep argument to 5 fixes firmware loading e.g. when HZ=1000. Some firmware images need more than 200ms to initialize. Bump the ready code timeout to 500ms to accommodate for this.

In some cases, this can end up taking longer than the current hardcoded limit of 5 seconds, for example if the transmit rings are filled with packets for a host that has dropped off the air and we end up retransmitting every pending packet at the lowest rate a couple of times. This patch changes mwl8k_tx_wait_empty() to only bail out on timeout expiry if there was no change in the number of packets pending in the transmit rings during the waiting period. If at least one transmit ring entry was reclaimed while we were waiting, we are apparently still making progress, and we'll allow waiting for another timeout period.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When inserting a DMA header into a packet for transmission, mwl8k_add_dma_header() would blindly zero the addr4 field, which is not a good idea if the packet being transmitted is actually a 4-address packet. Also, if the transmitted packet was a 4-address with QoS packet, the memmove() to do the needed header reshuffling would inadvertently overwrite the first two bytes of the packet payload with the QoS field. This fixes both of these issues. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

For QoS packets, the QoS field is passed to/from the firmware via the tx/rx descriptors. We were handling this correctly on transmit, but not on receive -- if a QoS packet was received, we would leave garbage in the QoS field in the packet passed up to the stack, which is Bad(tm). Also, if the packet received on the air was a 4-address without QoS packet, we would forget to skb_pull the 2-byte DMA length prefix off. This patch adds an argument to the ->rxd_process() receive descriptor operation to retrieve the QoS field from the receive descriptor, and extends mwl8k_remove_dma_header() to insert this field back into the packet if the packet received is a QoS packet. It also fixes mwl8k_remove_dma_header() to strip off the length prefix in all cases. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| | * | mwl8k: fix UPDATE_STADB command struct legacy_rates array lengthLennert Buytenhek2009-12-071-38/+13

Commit "mwl8k: report rate and other information for received frames" added one of the nonstandard rates to the mwl8k_rates table to make the OFDM rates in the table line up with the rate indices that are reported in the receive descriptor (so that we can just simply copy the receive descriptor rate index into ieee80211_rx_status::rate_idx) and bumped MWL8K_IEEE_LEGACY_DATA_RATES from 12 to 13, but this screwed up the UPDATE_STADB command struct layout, as it also uses that define, for its legacy_rates array. To avoid having to convert rate indices and legacy rate bitmaps (e.g. ieee80211_bss_conf::basic_rates) between the 12-rate mac80211 format and the 14-rate mwl8k format, we'll report all 14 rates in our wiphy's band, but filter out the nonstandard ones e.g. in the case of the UPDATE_STADB command which only accepts 12 rates. In the commands that accept 14 rates (SET_AID, SET_RATE), replace the use of the MWL8K_RATE_INDEX_MAX_ARRAY define in the command struct by the constant 14, to make it clearer that these commands accept 14 rates.

For instance, when ps_sdata is set but CONF_PS is not set just because the dynamic timer is still running, a sw scan leads to setting of CONF_PS in scan_ps_disable instead of restarting the dynamic PS timer. Also for the above case, a null data frame is to be sent after returning to operating channel which was not happening with the current implementation. This patch fixes this too.

As an optimization, we hash the table entries with a reversible transformation to get a more uniform distribution over it, sort the table at startup and then guess the position in the table when an ioctl number gets called to do a linear search from there. With the current set of ioctl numbers and the chosen transformation function, we need an average of four steps to find if a number is in the set, all of the accesses within one or two cache lines. This at least as good as the previous hash table approach but saves 8.5 kb of kernel memory. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

By special-casing the ULONG_IOCTL case in the do_ioctl_trans function, we can kill the final use of a function pointer in the array. text data bss dec hex filename 7539 13352 2080 22971 59bb before/fs/compat_ioctl.o 7910 8552 2080 18542 486e after/fs/compat_ioctl.o Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

| * | | | compat_ioctl: Remove BKLArnd Bergmann2009-12-101-2/+0

In particular it is not needed for conversion of data structures and for calling sys_ioctl or do_vfs_ioctl, which will get the BKL again if needed. Handlers doing more than those two have been moved out, so we can kill off the BKL from compat_sys_ioctl. This may significantly improve latencies with 32 bit applications, and it avoids a common scenario where a thread acquires the BKL twice.

These are the only handlers that require the BKL because they directly perform the ioctl action rather than just converting the data structures. Once they are gone, we can remove the BKL from the remaining ioctl conversion handlers.
