* cfg80211: refactor cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan()Luciano Coelho2014-04-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate the code that counts the interface types and channels from the code that check the interface combinations. The new function that checks for combinations is exported so it can be called by the drivers. This is done in preparation for moving the interface combinations checks out of cfg80211.

Bjorn Van Tilt contributes a patch which fixes a memory leak in usb_8dev's usb_8dev_start_xmit()s error path. A patch by Robert Schwebel fixes a typo in the can documentation. The remaining patches all target the c_can driver. Two of them are by me; they add a missing netif_napi_del() and return value checking. Thomas Gleixner contributes 12 patches, which address several shortcomings in the driver like hardware initialisation, concurrency, message ordering and poor performance. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of wireless updates intended for 3.15! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This has a whole bunch of bugfixes for things that went into -next previously as well as some other bugfixes I didn't want to rush into 3.14 at this point. The rest of it is some cleanups and a few small features, the biggest of which is probably Janusz's regulatory DFS CAC time code." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "One more pull request to 3.15. This is mostly and bug fix pull request, it contains several fixes and clean up all over the tree, plus some small new features." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "This is the NFC pull request for 3.15. With this one we have: - Support for ISO 15693 a.k.a. NFC vicinity a.k.a. Type 5 tags. ISO 15693 are long range (1 - 2 meters) vicinity tags/cards. The kernel now supports those through the NFC netlink and digital APIs. - Support for TI's trf7970a chipset. This chipset relies on the NFC digital layer and the driver currently supports type 2, 4A and 5 tags. - Support for NXP's pn544 secure firmare download. The pn544 C3 chipsets relies on a different firmware download protocal than the C2 one. We now support both and use the right one depending on the version we detect at runtime. - Support for 4A tags from the NFC digital layer. - A bunch of cleanups and minor fixes from Axel Lin and Thierry Escande." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "We were sending a host command while the mutex wasn't held. This led to hard-to-catch races." And... "I have a fix for a "merge damage" which is not really a merge damage: it enables scheduled scan which has been disabled in wireless.git. Since you merged wireless.git into wireless-next.git, this can now be fixed in wireless-next.git. Besides this, Alex made a workaround for a hardware bug. This fix allows us to consume less power in S3. Arik and Eliad continue to work on D0i3 which is a run-time power saving feature. Eliad also contributes a few bits to the rate scaling logic to which Eyal adds his own contribution. Avri dives deep in the power code - newer firmware will allow to enable power save in newer scenarios. Johannes made a few clean-ups. I have the regular amount of BT Coex boring stuff. I disable uAPSD since we identified firmware bugs that cause packet loss. One thing that do stand out is the udev event that we now send when the FW asserts. I hope it will allow us to debug the FW more easily." Also included is one last iwlwifi pull for a build breakage fix... For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Michal now did some optimisations and was able to improve throughput by 100 Mbps on our MIPS based AP135 platform. Chun-Yeow added some workarounds to be able to better use ad-hoc mode. Ben improved log messages and added support for MSDU chaining. And, as usual, also some smaller fixes." Beyond that... Andrea Merello continues his rtl8180 refactoring, in preparation for a long-awaited rtl8187 driver. We get a new driver (rsi) for the RS9113 chip, from Fariya Fatima. And, of course, we get the usual round of updates for ath9k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, wil6210, etc. as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

However creating an alias without specifying the minor doesn't allow us to create the node ahead, triggerring module auto-load when it's first accessed. Starting with depmod from kmod 16 we started to warn if there's a devname alias without specifying the major and minor. Let's do the same done for uhid, kvm, fuse and others, specifying a fixed minor. In systems with systemd as the init the following will happen: on early boot systemd will call "kmod static-nodes" to read /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname and then create the nodes. When first accessed these "dead" nodes will trigger the module loading.

It's unnecessary to try to do this there since we check the checksum before reading the RxRPC header from the packet. (2) Fix to prevent the sending of an ABORT packet in response to another ABORT packet and inducing a storm. (3) Fix UDP MTU calculation from parsing ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets where we don't handle the ICMP packet not specifying an MTU size. And development patches: (4) Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters, specifically various delays pertaining to ACK generation, the time before we resend a packet for which we don't receive an ACK, the maximum time a call is permitted to live and the amount of time transport, connection and dead call information is cached. (5) Improve ACK packet production by adjusting the handling of ACK_REQUESTED packets, ignoring the MORE_PACKETS flag, delaying the production of otherwise immediate ACK_IDLE packets and delaying all ACK_IDLE production (barring the call termination) to half a second. (6) Add more sysctl parameters to expose the Rx window size, the maximum packet size that we're willing to receive and the number of jumbo rxrpc packets we're willing to handle in a single UDP packet. (7) Request ACKs on alternate DATA packets so that the other side doesn't wait till we fill up the Tx window. (8) Use a RCU hash table to look up the rxrpc_call for an incoming packet rather than stepping through a hierarchy involving several spinlocks. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

However we still can use arp_validation in loadbalance with several other configs, per example with arp_validate == 2 for backup with one broadcast domain, without the switch(es) doing any balancing - this way we'd be (a bit more) sure that the slave is up. So, enable it to let users decide which one works/suits them best. Also correct the mode limitation from BOND_OPT_ARP_VALIDATE.

The current sysfs stubs allow on-the-fly updates of these registers (the locking measures are useless and only add unecessary code). Changing these registers is discouraged. Only the default values will be used instead. Moreover, the stashing (ATTRELI) configuration options were effectively disabled (didn't get to the hw anyway if changed) because the stashing device_flags (HAS_BD_STASHING|HAS_BUF_STASHING) were "accidentally" cleared during probe().
