      e100: do not go D3 in shutdown unless system is powering off · ac7c992c
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 提交于
      After experimenting with kexec with the last merges after 2.6.29, I've
      had some problems when probing e100.  It would not read the eeprom.  After
      some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least
      2.6.18).  The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that
      suspend does and puts the device in D3 state.  I couldn't find a way to
      get the device back to a sane state in the probe function.  So, based on
      some similar patches from Rafael J. Wysocki for e1000, e1000e, and ixgbe,
      I wrote this one for e100.

      netfilter: revised locking for x_tables · 942e4a2b
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
      of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer 
      lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
      was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
      problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
      the necessary RCU grace period.
      
      This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
      table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
      reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

      iwlwifi: notify on scan completion even when shutting down · 74aa9be0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Under certain circumstances iwlwifi can get stuck and will no
      longer accept scan requests, because the core code (cfg80211)
      thinks that it's still processing one. This fixes one of the

      rndis_wlan: fix initialization order for workqueue&workers · e805e4d0
      Jussi Kivilinna 提交于
      rndis_wext_link_change() might be called from rndis_command() at
      initialization stage and priv->workqueue/priv->work have not been
      initialized yet. This causes invalid opcode at rndis_wext_bind on
      some brands of bcm4320.
      
      Fix by initializing workqueue/workers in rndis_wext_bind() before
      rndis_command is used.

      wireless: remove unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL the tickles a powerpc compiler bug · 6269b731

      drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c:1415: error: __ksymtab_iwl3945_rx_queue_reset causes a section type conflict
      
      I am pretty sure that this is a compiler bug, so not to worry.  However,
      as far as I can see, iwl-3945.o (the only user) and iwl3945-base.o are
      always linked into the same module, so the EXPORT_SYMBOL (which causes
      the problem) should not be needed.  Correct?

      Bluetooth: Fix connection establishment with low security requirement · 3fdca1e1
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes
      that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the
      usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except
      the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement
      mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using
      Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required
      since it causes interoperability issues.
      
      To support this properly the low security requirement translates into
      different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is
      supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to
      switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered
      for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes
      the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing
      a lot simpler.

      Bluetooth: Add different pairing timeout for Legacy Pairing · 052b30b0
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL
      links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be
      terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing
      when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point
      no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within
      10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem
      since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections
      for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks
      that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the
      support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure
      needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing
      
      When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference
      counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible
      since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken
      Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to
      deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be
      introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is
      triggered.
      
      If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the
      worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds
      instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and
      broken devices now.

      net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet() · bf368e4e
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
      
      This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
      we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
      memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
      scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
      Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
      again as event was meaningless.
      
      (All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
      
      This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
      by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
      
      Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 
      
      Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
      into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
      37e5540b 
      epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
      
      Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
      can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
      handler.
      
      This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
      in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
      blocked in this function.
      
      Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
      __kfree_skb()
       skb_release_head_state()
        sock_wfree()
