      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      mac80211: fix spurious delBA handling · 827d42c9

      Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211

          mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session
      
      and other parts were already present in the original

            mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support
      
      The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
      checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
      indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
      callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.
      
      The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
      race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
      OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
      aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
      accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
      race window where crashes could happen before the driver
      accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
      drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.
      
      For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
       1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
          about the session state; don't drop the lock
      
       2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
          even before the session was really started -- this is
          true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
          iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
          (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

      mac80211: fix panic when splicing unprepared TIDs · 416fbdff
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID
      onto the local pending queue when tearing down a
      block ack request. This is not necessary unless we
      actually have received a request to start a block ack
      request (rate control, for example). If we never received
      that request we should not be splicing the tid pending
      queue as it would be null, causing a panic.
      
      Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the
      tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set,
      that will require some further review as it is not quite
      obvious.

      mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifi · e4e72fb4
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from
      mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so
      it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle
      starting and stopping the queues in mac80211.
      
      To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software
      queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep
      track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk
      to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling
      two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the
      mac80211 counterparts.

      mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stop · cd8ffc80
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation
      (which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer
      the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb
      queue once aggregation is turned on successfully.
      
      We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and
      we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in
      a follow-up patch.
      
      This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support
      aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now
      not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being
      established, but only after it has been fully established.
