39d3215774 virtio_net: Make delayed refill more reliable
I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected
OOM.  After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side
and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side.  As
the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal
skb, the host cannot proceed.

The guest did not have a refill job scheduled.

My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill
job scheduled.  The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but
not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed.

As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely
to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall.

The following patch removes this stall possibility by always
rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled.

Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas
previously it would occur within a day.

5a27e86bab sfc: Use fixed-size buffers for MCDI NVRAM requests
The low-level MCDI code always uses 32-bit MMIO operations, and
callers must pad input and output buffers to multiples of 4 bytes.
The MCDI NVRAM functions are not doing this.  Also, their buffers are
declared as variable-length arrays with no explicit maximum length.

Switch to a fixed buffer size based on the chunk size used by the
MTD driver (which is a multiple of 4).

8704a2c8e9 sfc: Add workspace for GMAC bug workaround to MCDI MAC_STATS buffer
Due to a hardware bug in the SFC9000 family, the firmware must
transfer raw GMAC statistics to host memory before aggregating them
into the cooked (speed-independent) MAC statistics.  Extend the stats
buffer to support this.

The length of the buffer is explicit in the MAC_STATS command, so this
change is backward-compatible on both sides.

723bae7ee4 mac80211: track work started through callbacks
Currently, the remain_on_channel work callback needs
to track in its own data structure whether the work
was just started or not. By reordering some code this
becomes unnecessary, the generic wk->started variable
can still be 'false' on the first invocation and only
be 'true' on actual timeout invocations, so that the
extra variable can be removed.

382b16559d mac80211: fix sw crypto
What a stupid mistake. In

    commit 813d766940
    Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
    Date:   Sun Jan 17 01:47:58 2010 +0100

        mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment

I inserted code testing the wrong flags field,
which means that the test is almost always true
(it's really testing for the peer's WMM support)
and thus the later parts of the stack assume hw
crypto will be done even if that's not true.

Obviously, that broke software crypto. Maxim
said so specifically, and Jochen probably uses
some cipher that iwl3945 doesn't support in
hardware, which might also explain that Maxim
reports that even hw crypto is broken.

Fix this to test the right flags field.

ieee80211_work_rx_queued_mgmt does not handle these, as they should

though, and several users have reported such instances.

96869a3939 b43: Workaround circular locking in hw-tkip key update callback
The TKIP key update callback is called from the RX path, where the driver
mutex is already locked. This results in a circular locking bug.
Avoid this by removing the lock.

Johannes noted that there is a separate bug: The callback still breaks on SDIO
hardware, because SDIO hardware access needs to sleep, but we are not allowed
to sleep in the callback due to mac80211's RCU locking.

658965107e ath9k: improve max rate retry handling
ath9k currently forces hw->max_rate_tries to 4 to work around rate
control inefficiencies. This has some negative side effects, such as
rate_control_send_low also using a maximum of 4 tries, which could
negatively affect reliability of unicast management frames.
This patch pushes the retry limit to the rate control instead, and
allows it to use more tries on the last stage to prevent unnecessary
packet loss.

ff27fabe62 iwlwifi: fix throughput degradation in aggregation mode
The following commit

	commit e4da8c37af
	Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
	Date:   Wed Dec 23 13:15:43 2009 +0100

	   mac80211: make off-channel work generic

triggered a bug in iwlwifi where HT parameters would not be correctly set in
some mac80211 pathways. The aggregation (and possibly other) station flags were
not being set, which limited the size of aggregation blocks and reduced
throughput at high rates.

>From Johannes:
"""
Due to Wey-Yi's patch to use the set-channel command when the channel changes
while associated, we don't get a full new RXON. Therefore, we don't re-set the
rxon-station either. However, under some circumstances that apparently have
gotten more likely mac80211 will first set up the BSS info, then add the
station and then switch to an HT channel type.

Therefore, the check for "priv->current_ht_config.is_ht" in
iwl_rxon_add_station() will hit false and not fill in the HT information.

However, that check can just be removed, which is the easiest fix for all this,
because the HT capa struct is always there, just could possibly have the
ht_supported member set to false.
"""

A sample good link in my 3x3 network improves by approximately 25% TCP
throughput. This fixes Bug 2144
(http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2144).

81963d6857 iwlwifi: cleanup spectrum measurement command support
In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been
disabled since v2.6.29 without any requests for it. In addition to this
when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware
SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 ). Since then
this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting.

Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be
added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers
has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains
as it has been enabled all the time.

In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig
option and make this command always supported. The code added by this
enabling is minimal and only run when user triggers a spectrum measurement
request via sysfs.

06702a735e iwlwifi: module parameter to enable/disable bt co-exist
Adding "bt_coex_active" module parameter for iwlcore to enable/disable
BT coexist; if bt_coex_active is true (default), uCode will do kill/defer
every time the priority line is asserted (BT is sending signals on the
priority line in the PCIx). By disable the bt_coex_active, uCode will
ignore the BT activity and perform the normal operation.

Users might experience transmit issue on some platform due to this
WiFi/BT co-exist problem. The possible symptoms are: NetworkManager and
other similar programs can scan and find all the available APs, but will
timeout and unable to associate with any of the APs; no out-going frames
can be found with wireless sniffer tools.

On those platforms, WiFi communication can be restored by set "bt_coex_active"
module parameter to "false"

3459ab5a1c iwlwifi: make broadcast station addition generic
Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it
in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and
iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add
that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality
resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code
reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This
seems to be an efficient solution.

It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945
broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since
the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always
set.

1fa97aaeb7 iwlwifi: cleanup station adding code
The work done when a station is added is very similar whether the station
is added synchronously or asynchronously. Centralize this work. At the same
time increase the status flags being checked for when the command returns
with accompanying debug messages. Also increase checking when setting the
"ucode active" state with accompanying debugging.

This work is done in preparation for station notification support.

3e4fb5faef iwlwifi: Tune radio to prevent unexpected behavior
We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune.  There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point.  By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.

To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

d4d59e88cb iwlwifi: Logic to control how frequent radio should be reset if needed
Add additional logic for internal scan routine to control how
frequent this function should be performed.

The intent of this function is to reset/re-tune the radio and bring the
RF/PHY back to normal state, it does not make sense calling it too
frequent,
if reset the radio can not bring it back to normal state, it indicate
there are other reason to cause the radio not operate correctly.

220575f78f iwlwifi: Fix A band scanning when associated
This patch allows A band to be scanned when driver is associated to AP.
Scan mechanism is that mac80211/cfg80211 requests driver to scan G band
first and then immediately to scan A band. Original code require
driver to wait for 2 seconds after any scan before another scan will be
performed. This caused driver to service G band scan request from
mac80211/cfg80211 but deny the A band scan request.

afbdd69af0 iwlwifi: add function to reset/tune radio if needed
Adding "radio reset" function to help reset and stabilize the radio.

During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter
problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to
recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is
no RF reset command available, but since radio will get reset when
switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio
reset and get back to normal operation state.

The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first
available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The
request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is
not in associated state.

Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the
internal scan from user mode.

a13d276f1e iwlwifi: configure missed beacon threshold
Add support to configure missed beacon threshold, by default, if receive
"missed beacon" notification from uCode and has more than 5 consecutive
beacon missed, then perform sensitivity calibration; with this change,
allow user to adjust the missed beacon threshold from debugfs in case
more sensitivity calibration required for better performance in noisy
environment

The default value (=5) should be good enough for the normal condition,
but for very noisy environment, more sensitivity calibration could help
improve the throughput, so by setting the missed beacon threshold to
lower number, user might experience better performance result.

   Date:   Thu Feb 12 10:06:45 2009 +0530

   ath9k: Enable Fractional N mode

changed the hw attach code to fix up initialization values only for
dual band devices, however the commit message did not give a reason as
to why this would be useful or necessary.

According to tests by Jorge Boncompte, this breaks at least some
2GHz-only cards, so the code should be changed back to the
unconditional INI fixup.

74bf4076f2 tracing: Prevent kernel oops with corrupted buffer
If the contents of the ftrace ring buffer gets corrupted and the trace
file is read, it could create a kernel oops (usualy just killing the user
task thread). This is caused by the checking of the pid in the buffer.
If the pid is negative, it still references the cmdline cache array,
which could point to an invalid address.

The simple fix is to test for negative PIDs.

bd1f46deba PCI: fix nested spinlock hang in aer_inject
The aer_inject module hangs in aer_inject() when checking the device's
error masks.  The hang is due to a recursive use of the aer_inject lock.
The aer_inject() routine grabs the lock while processing the error and then
calls pci_read_config_dword to read the masks. The pci_read_config_dword
routine is earlier overridden by pci_read_aer, which among other things,
grabs the aer_inject lock.

Fixed by moving the pci_read_config_dword calls to read the masks to before
the lock is taken.
