Add new nl80211 attributes that can be used with NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY and NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY to manage fragmentation/RTS threshold and retry limits. Since these values are stored in struct wiphy, remove the local copy from mac80211 where feasible (frag & rts threshold). The retry limits are currently needed in struct ieee80211_conf, but these could be eventually removed since the driver should have access to the values in struct wiphy.

This adds IBSS API along with (preliminary) wext handlers. The wext handlers can only do IBSS so you need to call them from your own wext handlers if the mode is IBSS. The nl80211 API requires * an SSID * a channel (frequency) for the case that a new IBSS has to be created It optionally supports * a flag to fix the channel * a fixed BSSID The cfg80211 code also takes care to leave the IBSS before the netdev is set down. If wireless extensions are used, it also caches values when the interface is down and instructs the driver to join when the interface is set up.

libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chip Use RxPD->pkt_ptr to locate eth803 header in the packet received since SD8688/v10 firmware allows a gap between RxPD and eth803 header. Set SDIO block size to 256 for CMD53. The maximum block size for SD8688 WLAN function is set to 512 in TPLFE_MAX_BLK_SIZE. But using 512 as block size results upto 2K bytes data (4 blocks) being transferred and causes buffer overflow in firmware. Both changes above are backward compatible with earlier firmware versions for SD8385/SD8686.

Define a new nl80211 event, NL80211_CMD_MICHAEL_MIC_FAILURE, to be used to notify user space about locally detected Michael MIC failures. This matches with the MLME-MICHAELMICFAILURE.indication() primitive. Since we do not actually have TSC in the skb anymore when mac80211_ev_michael_mic_failure() is called, that function is changed to take in the TSC as an optional parameter instead of as a requirement to include the TSC after the hdr field (which we did not really follow). For now, TSC is not included in the events from mac80211, but it could be added at some point. Signed-off-by: NJouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

aio_write gets const struct iovec * but tun_chr_aio_write casts this to struct iovec * and modifies the iovec. As a result, attempts to use io_submit to send packets to a tun device fail with weird errors such as EINVAL. Since tun is the only user of skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec, we can fix this simply by changing the later so that it does not touch the iovec passed to it. Signed-off-by: NMichael S.

Marvell 88E1121R Dual PHY device can be hardware-configured to use shared interrupt pin for both PHY ports. For such PHY configurations using shared PHY interrupt phy_interrupt() handler will also schedule a work for PHY port which didn't cause an interrupt. This patch adds a possibility for PHY drivers to provide did_interrupt() function which reports if the PHY (or a PHY port in a multi-PHY device) generated an interrupt. This function is called in phy_change() as phy_change() shouldn't proceed if it is invoked for a PHY which didn't cause an interrupt. So check for interrupt originator in phy_change() to allow early-out. Signed-off-by: NAnatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.

Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in uninterruptible sleep (D state). Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the load average when making decisions. If a cgroup is frozen, the load average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization to such applications. This is especially inconvenient if the job scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low priority jobs. Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose: the stopped tasks do not count toward system load. Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is frozen. This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets users' expectations.

The code that enables branch tracing for all (non-constant) branches plays games with the preprocessor and #define's the C 'if ()' construct to do tracing. That's all fine, but it fails for some unusual but valid C code that is sometimes used in macros, notably by the intel-iommu code: if (i=drhd->iommu, drhd->ignored) .. because now the preprocessor complains about multiple arguments to the 'if' macro. So make the macro expansion of this particularly horrid trick use varargs, and handle the case of comma-expressions in if-statements. Use another macro to do it cleanly in just one place. This replaces a patch by David (and acked by Steven) that did this all inside that one already-too-horrid macro.

After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode; CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk. A few users gave us the report that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs, and it turned out to be the cause. Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support nanosecond timestamps on this occation. Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this purpose without impact for the users. So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.

This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't exist.
