2006-03-23[PATCH] skge: version 1.5Stephen Hemminger
Update version to allow tracking of complaints. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-03-23[PATCH] skge: compute available ring buffersStephen Hemminger
Don't need to keep track of available buffers, it is simpler to just compute the value (ala e1000). Don't need tes on link up because should always have available buffers then. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-03-23[PATCH] skge: dont free skb until multi-part transmit completeStephen Hemminger
Don't free transmit buffers until the whole set of transmit descriptors has been marked as done. Otherwise, we risk freeing a skb before the whole transmit is done. This changes the transmit completion handling from incremental to a two pass algorithm. First pass scans and records the start of the last done descriptor, second cleans up until that point.

2006-03-23[PATCH] skge: rx_reuse called twiceStephen Hemminger
In the error case we call skge_rx_reuse twice. This is harmless but unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-03-23[PATCH] skge: dont use dev_alloc_skb for rx buffsStephen Hemminger
The skge driver was using dev_alloc_skb which reserves space for the Ethernet header. This unnecessary and it should just use alloc_skb, also by using GFP_KERNEL during startup it won't run into problems when a user asks for a huge ring size or mtu and potentially drains the reserved atomic pool.

2006-03-23[PATCH] skge: align receive buffersStephen Hemminger
The skge driver aligns the header on the initial receive buffers, but but doesn't on followon receive buffer allocations. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-03-23[PATCH] sky2: dont need to use dev_kfree_skb_anyStephen Hemminger
Transmit buffers are always freed with interrupts enabled (softirq), so we can just call dev_kfree_skb. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-03-23[PATCH] Restore channel setting after scan.David Woodhouse
After a scan, we weren't switching back to the original channel if we were associated with an AP. So NetworkManager's periodic scans would disrupt connectivity until the ESSID was manually set again.

2006-03-23[PATCH] wireless/airo: cache wireless scansDan Williams
Observed problems when multiple processes request scans and subsequently scan results. This causes a scan result request to hit card registers before the scan is complete, returning an incomplete scan list and possibly making the card very angry. Instead, cache the results of a wireless scan and serve result requests from the cache, rather than hitting the hardware for them. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-03-23[PATCH] reduce size of bio mempoolsBenjamin LaHaise
The biovec default mempool limit of 256 entries results in over 3MB of RAM being permanently pinned, even on systems with only 128MB of RAM. Since mempool tries to allocate from the system pool first, it makes sense to reduce the size of the mempool fallbacks to a more reasonable limit of 1-5 entries -- enough for the system to be able to make progress even under load.

2006-03-23[PATCH] __GENERIC_PER_CPU changesEric Dumazet
Now CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is in, initial percpu data [__per_cpu_start,__per_cpu_end] can be declared as a redzone, and invalid accesses after boot can be detected, at least for i386. We can let non possible cpus percpu data point to this 'redzone' instead of NULL . NULL was not a good choice because part of [0..32768] memory may be readable and invalid accesses may happen unnoticed. If CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is not defined, each non possible cpu points to the initial percpu data (__per_cpu_offset[cpu] == 0), thus invalid accesses wont be detected/crash. This patch also moves __per_cpu_offset[] to read_mostly area to avoid false sharing.

2006-03-23[PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversionsAndrew Morton
When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu(). This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.

2006-03-23[PATCH] Only allocate percpu data for possible CPUsEric Dumazet
percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus.

2006-03-23[PATCH] get_empty_filp tweaks, inline epoll_init_file()Benjamin LaHaise
Eliminate a handful of cache references by keeping current in a register instead of reloading (helps x86) and avoiding the overhead of a function call. Inlining eventpoll_init_file() saves 24 bytes. Also reorder file initialization to make writes occur more sequentially.

2006-03-23[PATCH] pause_on_oops command line optionAndrew Morton
Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs. If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option. It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed. The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that architectures other than x86 will find it useful.
