2008-02-15b43: Add driver load messagesMichael Buesch
This adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded. This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot. Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git). This helps users to select the right firmware for their device. This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right firmware for the driver. (the script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string. While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which people _should_ use.

2008-02-15iwlwifi: earlier rx allocationMohamed Abbas
Value of count is used to decide when to replenish rx buffers. If it is equal or above 8 we replenish the buffers. Ensure there is no starvation by initializing count to 8 - thus forcing replenish at first iteration. This is helpful when rx receives batches of buffers smaller than 8.

2008-02-15ath5k: correct padding in tx descriptorsBruno Randolf
when setting up the tx descriptors for the hardware we must account for any padding between the header and the data we might have added previously. frame len is the length of the frame in the air (including FCS but no padding) and buffer len is the length of the buffer (including padding, but without FCS). changing the way ah_setup_tx_desc is called: now excluding the FCS, since it's easier to add that in the function where we need it. before this fix we sent trailing zero bytes after the packet (because frame len included the padding) which was not a big problem without WEP, but with WEP this resultes in a wrong WEP checksum and the packet is discarded - which is how i noticed at all ;) an easy way to run into header padding problems, btw, is to connect to a QoS (WME) enabled access point (eg. madwifi) - QoS data frames are 2 byte longer and will require padding. this patch applies on top of luis latest patch series from 04.02.2008. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/hw.c: Changes-licensed-under: ISC Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-12[NET]: Fix race in dev_close(). (Bug 9750)Matti Linnanvuori
There is a race in Linux kernel file net/core/dev.c, function dev_close. The function calls function dev_deactivate, which calls function dev_watchdog_down that deletes the watchdog timer. However, after that, a driver can call netif_carrier_ok, which calls function __netdev_watchdog_up that can add the watchdog timer again. Function unregister_netdevice calls function dev_shutdown that traps the bug !timer_pending(&dev->watchdog_timer). Moving dev_deactivate after netif_running() has been cleared prevents function netif_carrier_on from calling __netdev_watchdog_up and adding the watchdog timer again.

2008-02-12[RTNETLINK]: Send a single notification on device state changes.Laszlo Attila Toth
In do_setlink() a single notification is sent at the end of the function if any modification occured. If the address has been changed, another notification is sent. Both of them is required because originally only the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification was sent and although device state change implies address change, some programs may expect the original notification. It remains for compatibity. If set_operstate() is called from do_setlink(), it doesn't send a notification, only if it is called from rtnl_create_link() as earlier.

2008-02-12[IPV6]: Fix IPsec datagram fragmentationHerbert Xu
This is a long-standing bug in the IPsec IPv6 code that breaks when we emit a IPsec tunnel-mode datagram packet. The problem is that the code the emits the packet assumes the IPv6 stack will fragment it later, but the IPv6 stack assumes that whoever is emitting the packet is going to pre-fragment the packet. In the long term we need to fix both sides, e.g., to get the datagram code to pre-fragment as well as to get the IPv6 stack to fragment locally generated tunnel-mode packet. For now this patch does the second part which should make it work for the IPsec host case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-02-12[NDISC]: Fix race in generic address resolutionDavid S. Miller
Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix for this bug. He also validated this version of this fix. The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we grab references when dropping the lock lock to call neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access to the skb. The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock during the ->solicit() call. I looked at all of the ndisc_ops implementations and this seems workable. The only case that needs special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit(). It wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation. We can simply remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection afforded by the existing read locking. The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the neigh is locked or not. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-02-12hci_ldisc: fix null pointer derefDavid Newall
Arjan: With the help of kerneloops.org I've spotted a nice little interaction between the TTY layer and the bluetooth code, however the tty layer is not something I'm all too familiar with so I rather ask than brute-force fix the code incorrectly. The raw details are at: http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=uart_flush_buffer What happens is that, on closing the bluetooth tty, the tty layer goes into the release_dev() function, which first does a bunch of stuff, then sets the file->private_data to NULL, does some more stuff and then calls the ldisc close function. Which in this case, is hci_uart_tty_close(). Now, hci_uart_tty_close() calls hci_uart_close() which clears some internal bit, and then calls hci_uart_flush()... which calls back to the tty layers' uart_flush_buffer() function. (in drivers/bluetooth/hci_tty.c around line 194) Which then WARN_ON()'s because that's not allowed/supposed to be called this late in the shutdown of the port.... Should the bluetooth driver even call this flush function at all?? David: This seems to be what happens: Hci_uart_close() flushes using hci_uart_flush(). Subsequently, in hci_dev_do_close(), (one step in hci_unregister_dev()), hci_uart_flush() is called again. The comment in uart_flush_buffer(), relating to the WARN_ON(), indicates you can't flush after the port is closed; which sounds reasonable. I think hci_uart_close() should set hdev->flush to NULL before returning. Hci_dev_do_close() does check for this. The code path is rather involved and I'm not entirely clear of all steps, but I think that's what should be done. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-02-12[IPV4]: Remove IP_TOS setting privilege checks.David S. Miller
Various RFCs have all sorts of things to say about the CS field of the DSCP value. In particular they try to make the distinction between values that should be used by "user applications" and things like routing daemons. This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as well. Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option. The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a recommendation". In fact the standards very purposefully use "SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be used. In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check. The alternatives just don't work out: 1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing setups. 2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by default. So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to override that. I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do. For the BSD stacks, this goes back all the way to Stevens Volume 2 and beyond. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
