      [IrDA]: Kingsun KS-959 IrDA USB driver · 4b6aa599
      Alex Villacís Lasso 提交于
      This dongle does not follow the usb-irda specification, so it needs its own
      special driver. First, it uses control URBs for data transfer, instead of
      bulk or interrupt transfers; the only interrupt endpoint exposed seems to
      be a dummy to prevent the interface from being rejected. Second, it uses
      obfuscation and padding at the USB traffic level, for no apparent reason
      other than to make reverse engineering harder (full details on obfuscation
      in comments at beginning of source). Although it is advertised as a "4 Mbps
      FIR dongle", it apparently loses packets at speeds greater than 57600 bps.
      
      On plugin, this dongle reports vendor and device IDs: 0x07d0:0x4959 .
      
      The Windows driver that is used normally to control this dongle has a
      filename of KS-959.SYS .

      [IrDA]: Kingsun Dazzle IrDA USB driver · 4a1d7c25
      Alex Villacís Lasso 提交于
      This dongle does not follow the usb-irda specification, so it needs its own
      special driver. Just like the Kingsun/Donshine dongle, it exposes two
      interrupt endpoints. Reception is performed through direct reads from the
      input endpoint. Transmission requires splitting the IrDA frames into 8-byte
      segments, in which the first byte encodes how many of the remaining 7 bytes
      are used as data. Speed change is made with a control URB just like the one
      in cypress_m8, and it seems to support up to 115200 bps.

      [NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs · 0bcc1816
      Satyam Sharma 提交于
      Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
      
      This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
      and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
      userspace interface exported via configfs.  Documentation is also updated
      accordingly.
      
      Issues and brief design overview:
      
      (1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
          possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
          exclusively from userspace.  But netconsole must support boot/module
          params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
          setup from the kernel.  Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
          lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
          via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
          boot/module option string.  This adds complexity and some redundancy here
          and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
          through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
          dynamically).  However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
          complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
          kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
      
      (2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
          mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem.  If we used an ioctl(2) to
          create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
          able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
          specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
          we set up the netpoll.  For configfs, this information is not available at
          the time of mkdir(2).  So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
          configfs) disabled by default.  The user is expected to set various
          attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
          required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute.  Thus,
          netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
          _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself.  This design enables
          the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
          attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
          netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created.  All this
          effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
      
      (3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
          sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
          compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
      
      (4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
          that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
          netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
          be used from netconsole.

      [NET] netconsole: Support multiple logging targets · b5427c27
      Satyam Sharma 提交于
      Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
      
      This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of
      CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and
      (including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really
      add too many bytes to module text.  All the complexity (and size) comes with
      the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's
      plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid
      a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too).
      
      Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify
      multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string.
      
      Brief overview:
      
      We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock).  Get rid of the static
      "default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our
      netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour
      such as default values).  During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the
      separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option
      string.  The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup.  During
      exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.

      [NET] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_netdev_notifier · 17951f34
      Satyam Sharma 提交于
      Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
      
      To update fields of underlying netpoll structure at runtime on corresponding
      NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications.
      
      ioctl(SIOCSIFHWADDR or SIOCSIFNAME) could be used to change the hardware/MAC
      address or name of the local interface that our netpoll is attached to.
      Whenever this happens, netdev notifier chain is called out with the
      NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME event message.  We respond to that and
      update the local_mac or dev_name field of the struct netpoll.  This makes
      sense anyway, but is especially required for dynamic netconsole because the
      netpoll structure's internal members become user visible files when either
      sysfs or configfs are used.  So this helps us to keep up with the MAC
      address/name changes and keep values in struct netpoll uptodate.
      
      [ Note that ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) to change IP address of interface at
        runtime is not handled (to update local_ip of netpoll) on purpose --
        some setups may set the local_ip to a private address, not necessary
        the actual IP address of the sender host, as presently allowed. ]

      [NET] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_target · df180e36
      Satyam Sharma 提交于
      Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
      
      Introduce a wrapper structure over netpoll to represent logging targets
      configured in netconsole.  This will get extended with other members in
      further patches.
      
      This is done independent of the (to-be-introduced) NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC config
      option so that we're able to drastically cut down on the #ifdef complexity of
      final netconsole.c.  Also, struct netconsole_target would be required for
      multiple targets support also, and not just dynamic reconfigurability.

      [NET] netconsole: Simplify boot/module option setup logic · d2b60881
      Satyam Sharma 提交于
      Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
      
      Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the case of
      built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() ->
      netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole()) vs
      modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the config
      variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() -> netpoll_parse_options()).
      
      This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent of a
      module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the param string
      passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable.  So,
      strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is always
      called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for both cases
      similar.
      
      Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case, so we
      put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about
      option_setup() being "defined but not used".  Also, the "configured" variable
      is redundant with this patch and hence removed.

      Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
      
      The (!np.dev) check in write_msg() is bogus (always false), because: np.dev is
      set by netpoll_setup(), which is called by init_netconsole() before
      register_console(), so write_msg() cannot be triggered unless netpoll_setup()
      successfully set np.dev.  Also np.dev cannot go away from under us, because
      netpoll_setup() grabs us reference on it.  So let's remove the bogus check.

      Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver

      Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces but
      it can be used as is as well.
      
      The newlink callback is organized that way to make it easy to
      create the peer device in the separate namespace when we have
      them in kernel.

      [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects. · bea3348e
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
      device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
      queues.
      
      In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
      structure representing the poll is independant from the net
      device itself.
      
      The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
      
      	int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
      
      to
      
      	int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
      
      The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
      the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
      abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
      dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
      caller upon return.
      
      The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
      structures.
      
      Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
      instances in it's ->stop() device close handler.  Since the
      napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
      only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
      it may have per-device.
      
      With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
      Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

      [MAC80211]: improved short preamble handling · 7e9ed188
      Daniel Drake 提交于
      Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b
      transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global.
      
      For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP
      IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been
      restricted to AP-only subifs.
      
      ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed.
      
      Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions:
       - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration
       - ieee80211_rts_duration
       - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration
