* [CIFS] rename cifs_strndup to cifs_strndup_from_ucsSteve French2009-04-306-19/+25
| | | | | | | | | | In most cases, cifs_strndup is converting from Unicode (UCS2 / UTF-32) to the configured local code page for the Linux mount (usually UTF8), so Jeff suggested that to make it more clear that cifs_strndup is doing a conversion not just memory allocation and copy, rename the function to including "from_ucs" (ie Unicode) Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

* [CIFS] Remove older session setup implementationSteve French2009-04-301-374/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two years ago, when the session setup code in cifs was rewritten and moved to fs/cifs/sess.c, we were asked to keep the old code for a release or so (which could be reenabled at runtime) since it was such a large change and because the asn (SPNEGO) and NTLMSSP code was not rewritten and needed to be. This was useful to avoid regressions, but is long overdue to be removed. Now that the Kerberos (asn/spnego) code is working in fs/cifs/sess.c, and the NTLMSSP code moved (NTLMSSP blob setup be rewritten with the next patch in this series) quite a bit of dead code from fs/cifs/connect.c now can be removed. This old code should have been removed last year, but the earlier krb5 patches did not move/remove the NTLMSSP code which we had asked to be done first. Since no one else volunteered, I am doing it now. It is extremely important that we continue to examine the documentation for this area, to make sure our code continues to be uptodate with changes since Windows 2003.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A regression was introduced in hg changeset 33810c734a0d, which resulted in a kernel panic whenever the device was disconnected from USB. The call to 4l2_device_register() was overwriting the pointer for usb_set_intfdata(), so when au0828_usb_disconnect() was called, the usb_get_intfdata() returned a pointer to the v4l2_device instead of the au0828_dev structure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire, usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem. The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be much bigger of a change, I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Acked-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

It would not read the eeprom. After some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least 2.6.18). The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that suspend does and puts the device in D3 state. I couldn't find a way to get the device back to a sane state in the probe function. So, based on some similar patches from Rafael J. Wysocki for e1000, e1000e, and ixgbe, I wrote this one for e100.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required since it causes interoperability issues. To support this properly the low security requirement translates into different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing a lot simpler.

| | | * | Bluetooth: Add different pairing timeout for Legacy PairingMarcel Holtmann2009-04-284-3/+40

The problem part is the dedicated pairing when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within 10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is triggered. If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and broken devices now. Based on a report by Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket. Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep again as event was meaningless. (All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor) This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler. Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit 37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403 epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups) Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate handler. This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread blocked in this function. Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is : __kfree_skb() skb_release_head_state() sock_wfree() sock_def_write_space() __wake_up_sync_key() __wake_up_common() receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT Reported-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | * | ipv4: Limit size of route cache hash tableAnton Blanchard2009-04-271-1/+1

On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB: IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes) It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter. With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking 5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms. Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact, in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum. With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option: IP route cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes) With this patch rt_worker_func now takes 0.460 ms on the same system.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current code writes the PME enabled bit in PCI config space which is wrong. This was needed for pre-release hardware, and was not removed from the driver. Also, we need to clear the WUS (wake up status) after we resume. Otherwise we can't wake for the same event again since it's still asserted in the hardware. Plus, the multicast lists were being written improperly, causing multicast WoL to fail.

The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open and close of the VLAN device. This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real devices.
