2008-02-05b43: avoid unregistering device objects during suspendRafael J. Wysocki
Modify the b43 driver to avoid deadlocking suspend and resume, which happens as a result of attempting to unregister device objects locked by the PM core during suspend/resume cycles. Also, make it use a suspend-safe method of unregistering device object in the resume error path. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Checking if an address is a vmalloc address is done in a couple of places. Define a common version in mm.h and replace the other checks. Again the include structures suck.

2008-02-05tun: impossible to deassert IFF_ONE_QUEUE or IFF_NO_PINathaniel Filardo
From: "Nathaniel Filardo" <nwfilardo@gmail.com> Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9806 The TUN/TAP driver only permits one-way transitions of IFF_NO_PI or IFF_ONE_QUEUE during the lifetime of a tap/tun interface. Note that tun_set_iff contains 541 if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_NO_PI) 542 tun->flags |= TUN_NO_PI; 543 544 if (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_ONE_QUEUE) 545 tun->flags |= TUN_ONE_QUEUE; This is easily fixed by adding else branches which clear these bits. Steps to reproduce: This is easily reproduced by setting an interface persistant using tunctl then attempting to open it as IFF_TAP or IFF_TUN, without asserting the IFF_NO_PI flag. The ioctl() will succeed and the ifr.flags word is not modified, but the interface remains in IFF_NO_PI mode (as it was set by tunctl).

2008-02-04virtio: reset functionRusty Russell
A reset function solves three problems: 1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a guest driver without rebooting the guest. 2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset, we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and 3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers. So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: populate network rings in the probe routine, not openRusty Russell
Since we want to reset the device to remove them, this is simpler (device is reset for us on driver remove). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: Tweak virtio_net definesRusty Russell
1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming separate). Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win. 2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to IPv6 or v4. 3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do checksumming). 4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: Net header needs hdr_lenRusty Russell
It's far easier to deal with packets if we don't have to parse the packet to figure out the header length to know how much to pull into the skb data. Add the field to the virtio_net_hdr struct (and fix the spaces that somehow crept in there). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.Rusty Russell
It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so. Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback now returns void, rather than a boolean. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: simplify config mechanism.Rusty Russell
Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended at the end. The main driver-visible changes: 1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit. 2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.
