Under my 2.6.28-rc6 sparc64, when associating to an AP through my zd1211rw device, I was seeing kernel log messages like (not exact output): Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10129b68] zd_mac_rx+0x144/0x32c [zd1211rw] For the zd1211rw module, on RX, the 80211 packet will be located after the PLCP header in the skb data buffer. The PLCP header being 5 bytes long, the 80211 header will start unaligned from an aligned skb buffer. As per Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt, we must replace the not unaligned() safe compare_ether_addr() with memcmp() to protect architectures that require alignment.

In "ipw2200: Call netif_*_queue() interfaces properly", netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue() were removed with the reason "netif_carrier_{on,off}() handles starting and stopping packet flow into the driver". The patch also removes a valid condition check that ipw_tx_skb() cannot be called if device is not in STATUS_ASSOCIATED state. But netif_carrier_off() doesn't guarantee netdev->hard_start_xmit won't be called because linkwatch event is handled in a delayed workqueue. This caused a kernel oops reported by Frank Seidel: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397390 This patch fixes the problem by moving the STATUS_ASSOCIATED check back to ipw_tx_skb(). It also adds a missing netif_carrier_off() call to ipw_disassociate().

This patch cleans uCode key table bit map iwl_clear_stations_table since all stations are cleared also the key table must be. Since the keys are not removed properly on suspend by mac80211 this may result in exhausting key table on resume leading to memory corruption during removal This patch also fixes a memory corruption problem reported in http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=122641417231586&w=2 and tracked in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12040. When the key is removed a second time the offset is set to 255 - this index is not valid for the ucode_key_table and corrupts the eeprom pointer (which is 255 bits from ucode_key_table).

The bnx2 chips do not support per MSI vector masking. On 5706/5708, new MSI address/data are stored only when the MSI enable bit is toggled. As a result, SMP affinity no longer works in the latest kernel. A more serious problem is that the driver will no longer receive interrupts when the MSI receiving CPU goes offline. The workaround in this patch only addresses the problem of CPU going offline. When that happens, the driver's timer function will detect that it is making no forward progress on pending interrupt events and will recover from it. Eric Dumazet reported the problem. We also found that if an interrupt is internally asserted while MSI and INTA are disabled, the chip will end up in the same state after MSI is re-enabled. The same workaround is needed for this problem. Signed-off-by: NMichael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Tested-by: NEric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit 7ff93f8b ("mlx4_core: Multiple port type support") introduced support for different port types. As part of that support, SET_PORT is invoked to set the port type during driver startup. However, as a side-effect, for IB ports the invocation of this command also sets the port's capability mask to zero (losing the default value set by FW). To fix this, get the default ib port capabilities (via a MAD_IFC Port Info query) during driver startup, and save them for use in the mlx4_SET_PORT command when setting the port-type to Infiniband. This patch fixes problems with subnet manager (SM) failover such as <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1183>, which occurred because the IsTrapSupported bit in the capability mask was zeroed.

This should fix the SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation seen ok kernel.org bugzilla 11811: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11811 Users on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2 would see something like: DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4224 bytes at device 0000:0b:00.0 Unfortunately its only easy to trigger on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2 so far so its difficult to debug (even with swiotlb=force). We were pci_unmap_single()'ing less bytes than what we called for with pci_map_single() and as such we were starving the swiotlb from its 64MB amount of bounce buffers. We remain consistent and now always use sc->rxbufsize for RX. While at it we update the beacon DMA maps as well to only use the data portion of the skb, previous to this we were pci_map_single()'ing more data for beaconing than what we tell the hardware it can use, therefore pushing more iotlb abuse. Still not sure why this is so easily triggerable on MacBook Pro 3.1, it may be the hardware configuration tends to use more memory > 3GB mark for DMA.

Hi, after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs doesn't claim this ID. I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch and integrated it into the kernel: <http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fullstory/linux-sidux-2.6/trunk/debian/patches/features/2.6.27.4_PCMCIA_move-PCMCIA-ID-for-Netgear-FA411-from-pcnet_cs-to-axnet_cs.patch> This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for other devices on sidux-support. This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited experience with kernel modifications I might be woefully wrong there. But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it into the official kernel? I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if necessary. -cord [1] Socket 1 Device 0: [axnet_cs] (bus ID: 1.0) Configuration: state: on Product Name: NETGEAR FA411 Fast Ethernet Identification: manf_id: 0x0149 card_id: 0x0411 function: 6 (network) prod_id(1): "NETGEAR" (0x9aa79dc3) prod_id(2): "FA411" (0x40fad875) prod_id(3): "Fast Ethernet" (0xb4be14e3) prod_id(4): --- (---) From: Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <s.l-h@gmx.de> Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2008 23:53:04 +0000 Subject: PCMCIA: move PCMCIA ID for Netgear FA411 from pcnet_cs to axnet_cs: Since kernel 2.6.25, commit 61da96be (pcnet_cs: if AX88190-based card, printk "use axnet_cs instead" message.), pcnet_cs bails out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs doesn't claim this ID.

A previous patch, 51e2a384, made genphy_config_aneg() not restart aneg by calling genphy_restart_aneg() if the advertisement hadn't changed. But, genphy_restart_aneg() doesn't just restart aneg, it may also *enable* aneg or un-isolate the PHY from the MII (those functions are controlled by the same register). The code to avoid calling genphy_restart_aneg() didn't consider this. So, modify genphy_config_aneg() to also check if the PHY needs to have aneg enabled or be un-isolated before deciding not to restart aneg. This caused a problem with certain Davicom PHYs, as that driver isolates the PHY (why?) before calling genphy_config_aneg() and expects the PHY to be un-isolated by that function.

So I dug deeper into the DMA problems I had with iwlagn and a kind soul helped me in that he said something about pci-e alignment and mentioned the iwl_rx_allocate function to check for crossing 4KB boundaries. Since there's 8KB A-MPDU support, crossing 4k boundaries didn't seem like something the device would fail with, but when I looked into the function for a minute anyway I stumbled over this little gem: BUG_ON(rxb->dma_addr & (~DMA_BIT_MASK(36) & 0xff)); Clearly, that is a totally bogus check, one would hope the compiler removes it entirely. (Think about it) After fixing it, I obviously ran into it, nothing guarantees the alignment the way you want it, because of the way skbs and their headroom are allocated. I won't explain that here nor double-check that I'm right, that goes beyond what most of the CC'ed people care about. So then I came up with the patch below, and so far my system has survived minutes with 64K pages, when it would previously fail in seconds. And I haven't seen a single instance of the TX bug either. But when you see the patch it'll be pretty obvious to you why. This should fix the following reported kernel bugs: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11596 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11983 I haven't checked if there are any elsewhere, but I suppose RHBZ will have a few instances too... I'd like to ask anyone who is CC'ed (those are people I know ran into the bug) to try this patch. I am convinced that this patch is correct in spirit, but I haven't understood why, for example, there are so many unmap calls. I'm not entirely convinced that this is the only bug leading to the TX reply errors. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset. Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good enough" suspend/resume. Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless. Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping functions within the critical section, and now because it's called by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl because it is flushed under rtnl. (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046) I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly. For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation, while the suspend operation must be done directly. Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is available and requested.

skb->tail can't be meant here because it's not the same across 32/64 bit compilations. This means there's no way the current driver can work on 64-bit architectures.

Some users reported that they have machines with BMCs enabled that cannot receive IPMI traffic after e1000e is loaded. http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=121909039127414&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=121365543823387&w=2 This fixes the issue if they load with the new parameter = 0 by disabling crc stripping, but leaves the performance feature on for most users.
