2008-12-09tcp: tcp_vegas cong avoid fix Doug Leith
This patch addresses a book-keeping issue in tcp_vegas.c. At present tcp_vegas does separate book-keeping of cwnd based on packet sequence numbers. A mismatch can develop between this book-keeping and tp->snd_cwnd due, for example, to delayed acks acking multiple packets. When vegas transitions to reno operation (e.g. following loss), then this mismatch leads to incorrect behaviour (akin to a cwnd backoff). This seems mostly to affect operation at low cwnds where delayed acking can lead to a significant fraction of cwnd being covered by a single ack, leading to the book-keeping mismatch. This patch modifies the congestion avoidance update to avoid the need for separate book-keeping while leaving vegas congestion avoidance functionally unchanged. A secondary advantage of this modification is that the use of fixed-point (via V_PARAM_SHIFT) and 64 bit arithmetic is no longer necessary, simplifying the code. Some example test measurements with the patched code (confirming no functional change in the congestion avoidance algorithm) can be seen at: http://www.hamilton.ie/doug/vegaspatch/ Signed-off-by: Doug Leith <doug.leith@nuim.ie> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-12-09sungem: Make PCS PHY support partially work again.David S. Miller
As reported by Hermann Lauer, PCS PHY support in the sungem driver simply doesn't work. When the chip is reset due to open, or some other similar operation, the PCS is reset too but we don't program it back into a running state. The result is no link when the device is brought up. This partially rectifies the situation for the moment, by kicking the PCS after a sungem chip reset so that it will renegotiate and be re-enabled again. The behavior is still a little bit dodgy as the added renegotiate make the link take some time after bringing the interface up, but this is a significant improvement in that things actually work now :-) Based almost entirely upon an initial patch by Hermann.

2008-12-05zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr()Shaddy Baddah
Under my 2.6.28-rc6 sparc64, when associating to an AP through my zd1211rw device, I was seeing kernel log messages like (not exact output): Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10129b68] zd_mac_rx+0x144/0x32c [zd1211rw] For the zd1211rw module, on RX, the 80211 packet will be located after the PLCP header in the skb data buffer. The PLCP header being 5 bytes long, the 80211 header will start unaligned from an aligned skb buffer. As per Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt, we must replace the not unaligned() safe compare_ether_addr() with memcmp() to protect architectures that require alignment.

2008-12-05mac80211: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr()Shaddy Baddah
After fixing zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr(), I started to see kernel log messages detailing unaligned access: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100f7f44] sta_info_get+0x24/0x68 [mac80211] As with the aforementioned patch, the unaligned access was eminating from a compare_ether_addr() call. Concerned that whilst it was safe to assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the easy fix of changing the call to memcmp(). My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing mac address comparisons throughout the module.

2008-12-05ipw2200: fix netif_*_queue() removal regressionZhu Yi
In "ipw2200: Call netif_*_queue() interfaces properly", netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue() were removed with the reason "netif_carrier_{on,off}() handles starting and stopping packet flow into the driver". The patch also removes a valid condition check that ipw_tx_skb() cannot be called if device is not in STATUS_ASSOCIATED state. But netif_carrier_off() doesn't guarantee netdev->hard_start_xmit won't be called because linkwatch event is handled in a delayed workqueue. This caused a kernel oops reported by Frank Seidel: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397390 This patch fixes the problem by moving the STATUS_ASSOCIATED check back to ipw_tx_skb(). It also adds a missing netif_carrier_off() call to ipw_disassociate().

This patch cleans uCode key table bit map iwl_clear_stations_table since all stations are cleared also the key table must be. Since the keys are not removed properly on suspend by mac80211 this may result in exhausting key table on resume leading to memory corruption during removal This patch also fixes a memory corruption problem reported in http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=122641417231586&w=2 and tracked in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12040. When the key is removed a second time the offset is set to 255 - this index is not valid for the ucode_key_table and corrupts the eeprom pointer (which is 255 bits from ucode_key_table).

2008-12-04tcp: tcp_vegas ssthresh bug fixDoug Leith
This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c. At the moment this code leaves ssthresh untouched. However, this means that the vegas congestion control algorithm is effectively unable to reduce cwnd below the ssthresh value (if the vegas update lowers the cwnd below ssthresh, then slow start is activated to raise it back up). One example where this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

2008-12-03tcp: make urg+gso work for real this timeIlpo Järvinen
I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would restore the window again. Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data" (33cf71cee1). It also removes some unnecessary code from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could be that something was changed down the road, or it might have been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from ~64k before the urg point. The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.

2008-12-03b1isa: fix b1isa_exit() to really remove registered capi controllersWilfried Klaebe
On "/etc/init.d/capiutils stop", this oops happened. The oops happens on reading /proc/capi/controllers because capi_ctrl->procinfo is called for the wrongly not unregistered controller, which points to b1isa_procinfo(), which was removed on module unload. b1isa_exit() did not call b1isa_remove() for its controllers because io[0] == 0 on module unload despite having been 0x340 on module load. Besides, just removing the controllers that where added on module load time and not those that were added later via b1isa_add_card() is wrong too - the place where all added cards are found is isa_dev[]. relevant dmesg lines: [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.27.4 (w@shubashi) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) ) #3 Thu Oct 30 16:49:03 CET 2008 [ 67.403555] CAPI Subsystem Rev 1.1.2.8 [ 68.529154] capifs: Rev 1.1.2.3 [ 68.563292] capi20: Rev 1.1.2.7: started up with major 68 (middleware+capifs) [ 77.026936] b1: revision 1.1.2.2 [ 77.049992] b1isa: revision 1.1.2.3 [ 77.722655] kcapi: Controller [001]: b1isa-340 attached [ 77.722671] b1isa: AVM B1 ISA at i/o 0x340, irq 5, revision 255 [ 81.272669] b1isa-340: card 1 "B1" ready.

Due to a wrong safety check in af_can.c it was not possible to filter for SFF frames with a specific CAN identifier without getting the same selected CAN identifier from a received EFF frame also. This fix has a minimum (but user visible) impact on the CAN filter API and therefore the CAN version is set to a new date. Indeed the 'old' API is still working as-is. But when now setting CAN_(EFF|RTR)_FLAG in can_filter.can_mask you might get less traffic than before - but still the stuff that you expected to get for your defined filter ...

2008-12-03bnx2: Add workaround to handle missed MSI.Michael Chan
The bnx2 chips do not support per MSI vector masking. On 5706/5708, new MSI address/data are stored only when the MSI enable bit is toggled. As a result, SMP affinity no longer works in the latest kernel. A more serious problem is that the driver will no longer receive interrupts when the MSI receiving CPU goes offline. The workaround in this patch only addresses the problem of CPU going offline. When that happens, the driver's timer function will detect that it is making no forward progress on pending interrupt events and will recover from it. Eric Dumazet reported the problem. We also found that if an interrupt is internally asserted while MSI and INTA are disabled, the chip will end up in the same state after MSI is re-enabled. The same workaround is needed for this problem. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Tested-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If xpc.ko and gru.ko are both statically linked into the kernel, then xpc_init() can get called before gru_init() and make a call to one of the gru's exported functions before the gru has initialized itself. The end result is a NULL dereference. Signed-off-by: Dean Nelson <dcn@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-12-02powerpc: Use physical cpu id when setting the processor affinityKumar Gala
In the CONFIG_SMP case the irq_choose_cpu() code was returning back a logical cpu id not the physical id. We were writing that directly into the HW register. We need to be calling get_hard_smp_processor_id() so irq_choose_cpu() always returns a physical cpu id.

2008-12-02vmscan: evict streaming IO firstRik van Riel
Count the insertion of new pages in the statistics used to drive the pageout scanning code. This should help the kernel quickly evict streaming file IO. We count on the fact that new file pages start on the inactive file LRU and new anonymous pages start on the active anon list. This means streaming file IO will increment the recent scanned file statistic, while leaving the recent rotated file statistic alone, driving pageout scanning to the file LRUs. Pageout activity does its own list manipulation.

2008-12-02bdi: register sysfs bdi device only once per queueKay Sievers
Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the last registered device of the devices sharing one queue. On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created. This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

The previous patch from Alan Cox ("nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash", commit 731572d39fcd3498702eda4600db4c43d51e0b26) fixed the problem where knfsd crashes on exported shmemfs objects and strict overcommit is set. But the patch forgot supporting the case when CONFIG_SECURITY is disabled. This patch copies a part of his fix which is mainly for detecting a bug earlier.

2008-12-02amd74xx: workaround unreliable AltStatus register for nVidia controllersBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device is in Compatibility Mode. In order to achieve this: * Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>. * Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode. * Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag. This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216). [ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ] Thanks to Remy LABENE and Lars Winterfeld for help with debugging the problem.

2008-12-01i82875p_edac: fix module removeJarkko Lavinen
Fix module removal bugs of i82875p_edac. Also i82975x_edac code seems to have the same module removal bugs as in i82875p_edac. The problems were: 1. In module removal i82875p_remove_one() is never called. Variable i82875p_registered is newer changed from 1, which guarantees i82875p_remove_one() is not called (and even if it were called, it would be called in wrong order). As a result, the edac_mc workque is not stopped and keeps probing. If kernel debugging options are not enabled, user may not notice anything going wrong. if debugging options are enabled and I do "rmmod i82875p_edac", I get: edac debug: edac_pci_workq_function() checking BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f882d16f ... call trace: [<f8834df3>] ? edac_mc_workq_function+0x55/0x7e [edac_core] [<c0233974>] ? run_workqueue+0xd7/0x1a5 [<c023392f>] ? run_workqueue+0x92/0x1a5 [<f8834d9e>] ? edac_mc_workq_function+0x0/0x7e [edac_core] [<c0233af9>] ? worker_thread+0xb7/0xc3 [<c0236a7b>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33 [<c0233a42>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0xc3 [<c0236809>] ? kthread+0x3b/0x61 [<c02367ce>] ? kthread+0x0/0x61 [<c0204587>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 Fix for this is to get rid of needles variable i82875p_registered altogether and run i82875p_remove_one() *before* pci_unregister_driver(). 2. edac_mc_del_mc() uses mci after freeing mci edac_mc_del_mc() calls calls edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). The kobject refcount of mci drops to 0 and mci is freed. After this mci is accessed via debug print and i82875p_remove_one() still uses mci->pvt and tries to free mci again with edac_mc_free(). The fix for this is add kobject_get(&mci->edac_mci_kobj) after edac_mc_alloc(). Then the mci is still available after returning from edac_mc_del_mc() with refcount 1, and mci->pvt is still available. When i82875p_remove_one() finally calls edac_mc_free(), this will cause kobject_put() and mci is released properly.

2008-12-01i82875p_edac: fix overflow device resource setupJarkko Lavinen
When I do "modprobe i82875p_edac" on my Asus P4C800 MB on kernels 2.6.26 or later, the module load fails due to BAR 0 collision. On 2.6.25 the module loads just fine. The overflow device on the MB seems to be hidden and its resources are not allocated at normal PCI bus init. Log shows the missing resource problem: EDAC DEBUG: i82875p_probe1() PCI: 0000:00:06.0 reg 10 32bit mmio: [fecf0000, fecf0fff] pci 0000:00:06.0: device not available because of BAR 0 [0xfecf0000-0xfecf0fff] collisions EDAC i82875p: i82875p_setup_overfl_dev(): Failed to enable overflow device The patch below fixes this by calling pci_bus_assign_resources() after the overflow device is revealed and added to the bus.

2008-12-01fbdev: fix FB console blankingDmitry Baryshkov
The commit aef7db4bd5a3b6068dfa05919a3d685199eed116 fixed the problem with recursive locking in fb blanking code if blank is caused by user setting the /sys/class/graphics/fb*/blank. However this broke the fbcon timeout blanking. If you use a driver that defines ->fb_blank operation and at the same time that driver relies on other driver (e.g. backlight or lcd class) to blank the screen, when the fbcon times out and tries to blank the fb, it will call only fb driver blanker and won't notify the other driver. Thus FB output is disabled, but the screen isn't blanked. Restore fbcon blanking and at the same time apply the proper fix for the above problem: if fbcon_blank is called with FBINFO_FLAG_USEREVENT, we are already called through notification from fb_blank, thus we don't have to blank the fb again.
