2009-03-02wimax/i2400m: implement RX reorder supportInaky Perez-Gonzalez
Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information. When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held packets have to be released to the OS. This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission support when missing frames are detected. The code docs provide details about the implementation. In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on the window start for the specific queue. The modifications to files other than rx.c are: - control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled - driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder support. - i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for implementing reorder support. - linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions related to RX reorder Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost impossible. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-03-02wimax/i2400m: support extended data RX protocol (no need to reallocate skbs)Inaky Perez-Gonzalez
Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits). However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <= v1.3) to make room for it. - control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h. - rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx(). - netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking stack. - cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

2009-03-02wimax/i2400m: allow control of the base-station idle mode timeoutInaky Perez-Gonzalez
For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived. This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs interace. It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version (upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3). The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus, the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.

2009-02-24netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

2009-02-208250: fix boot hang with serial console when using with Serial Over Lan portMauro Carvalho Chehab
Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan. This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by kernel as a normal 8250 port. However, this emulation is not perfect, as also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f. Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is capable of work using IRQ's. This were done with a code similar this: serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI); lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR); iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR); serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0); if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT) up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN; This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register. Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled. However, as TX IRQ keeps working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the serial console. This is the 6 version of this patch. Previous versions were trying to introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up, UART_IIR), but not taking forever. However, the needed delay couldn't be safely determined. At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but still hangs sometimes. Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still doesn't solve. A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time. However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk. So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

2009-02-20slab: introduce kzfree()Johannes Weiner
kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying memory before releasing it to the slab allocator. Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use. These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily aware of the actual object size.

2009-02-20netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket optionPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast() return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set, netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers should do. This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy. Patrick McHardy can exchange this patch for a beer from me ;).

And here's what I got: move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00] move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00] move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff] move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0] My memory layout on this box is: [ 0.000000] Zone PFN ranges: [ 0.000000] Normal 0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d [ 0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node [ 0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges [ 0.000000] 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers the problem. This patch: Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used. I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy. This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h After this, if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c else -> per-arch back end function will be called.

2009-02-18atmel-mci: fix initialization of dma slave dataDan Williams
The conversion of atmel-mci to dma_request_channel missed the initialization of the channel dma_slave information. The filter_fn passed to dma_request_channel is responsible for initializing the channel's private data. This implementation has the additional benefit of enabling a generic client-channel data passing mechanism.

2009-02-18mm: task dirty accounting fixNick Piggin
YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty). Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is called. It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for __set_page_dirty_no_writeback. So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.

2009-02-18timerfd: add flags checkDavide Libenzi
As requested by Michael, add a missing check for valid flags in timerfd_settime(), and make it return EINVAL in case some extra bits are set. Michael said: If this is to be any use to userland apps that want to check flag support (perhaps it is too late already), then the sooner we get it into the kernel the better: 2.6.29 would be good; earlier stables as well would be even better.

2009-02-18seq_file: properly cope with preadEric Biederman
Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the offset it passed to user space. In the case pread this assumption is broken and we do the wrong thing when presented with pread. To solve this I introduce an offset cache inside of struct seq_file so we know where our logical file position is. Then in seq_read if we try to read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to the offset user space wanted.

2009-02-18vfs: separate FMODE_PREAD/FMODE_PWRITE into separate flagsPaul Turner
Separate FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE into separate flags to reflect the reality that the read and write paths may have independent restrictions. A git grep verifies that these flags are always cleared together so this new behavior will only apply to interfaces that change to clear flags individually. This is required for "seq_file: properly cope with pread", a post-2.6.25 regression fix.

We have get_vm_area_caller() and __get_vm_area() but not __get_vm_area_caller() On powerpc, I use __get_vm_area() to separate the ranges of addresses given to vmalloc vs. ioremap (various good reasons for that) so in order to be able to implement the new caller tracking in /proc/vmallocinfo, I need a "_caller" variant of it.

In NFLOG the per-rule qthreshold should overrides per-instance only it is set. With current code, the per-rule qthreshold is 1 if not set and it overrides the per-instance qthreshold. This patch modifies the default xt_NFLOG threshold from 1 to 0. Thus a value of 0 means there is no per-rule setting and the instance parameter has to apply.

2009-02-17net: Kill skb_truesize_check(), it only catches false-positives.David S. Miller
A long time ago we had bugs, primarily in TCP, where we would modify skb->truesize (for TSO queue collapsing) in ways which would corrupt the socket memory accounting. skb_truesize_check() was added in order to try and catch this error more systematically. However this debugging check has morphed into a Frankenstein of sorts and these days it does nothing other than catch false-positives. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
