This patch removes the pci_bist and pci_hdr_type members from the device structure and removes the code that references them. They are not really used. The patch rounds out the changes by moving the pci_cmd member to plug a structure hole that would have been created. On 32-bit systems, this movement removes a subsequent structure hole later in the structure. On 64-bit systems though, the movement merely consolidates two holes into one larger hole.

This patch attempts to make the relationship between IPV6 checksum offload and IPV6 LSO more obvious. The patch also toggles a bit needed for IPV6 LSO on 5785 and 57780 devices.

The first hunk of this patch inverts a flag that was accidentally toggled as part of commit 0a459aac ("tg3: Allow WOL for phylib controlled Broadcom phys"). The second hunk of the patch removes the call to device_may_wakeup() in the 5906 config detection path. At the point of the call, the driver shouldn't be querying for WOL capability. It should be detecting and setting it.

Adds the Backward Congestion Notification Address (BCNA) attribute to the Backward Congestion Notification (BCN) interface for Data Center Bridging (DCB), which was missing. Receive the BCNA attribute in the ixgbe driver. The BCNA attribute is for a switch to inform the endstation about the physical port identification in order to support BCN on aggregated links.

Data Center Bridging (DCB) had no way to know if setstate had failed in the driver. This patch enables dcb netlink code to handle the status for the DCB setstate interface. Likewise it allows the driver to return a failed status if MSI-X isn't enabled.

This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some require the host to do it. The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms: iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware. It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle. In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS. Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

This is a preparation for the dynamic power save support. In future there are two paths to stop the master queues and we need to track this properly to avoid starting queues incorrectly. Implement this by adding a status array for each queue. The original idea and design is from Johannes Berg, I just did the implementation based on his notes. All the bugs are mine, of course.

Also disable power save when disassociated. It makes no sense to have power save enabled while disassociated. iwlwifi seems to have this check in the driver, but it's better to do this in mac80211 instead.

The RX code in ath9k uses sc_keymap to figure out whether a default key was used. However, the default key entries in sc_keymap were always set and as such, frames could have been claimed to be decrypted by hardware when they were not. This can cause problems especially with TKIP since mac80211 is validating the Michael MIC in the frame and this will result in MIC failure and potentially TKIP countermeasures if the frame was not decrypted correctly. Change key cache slot allocation to mark only the keys that really have been used in sc_keymap to avoid the issue. The key cache slot selection routines are now internally avoiding the slots that may be needed for TKIP group keys. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Previously we allocate Rx SKB with GFP_ATOMIC flag. This is because we need to hold a spinlock to protect the two rx_used and rx_free lists operation in the rxq. spin_lock(); ... element = rxq->rx_used.next; element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_ATOMIC); list_del(element); list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free); ... spin_unlock(); After spliting the rx_used delete and rx_free insert into two operations, we don't require the skb allocation in an atomic context any more (the function itself is scheduled in a workqueue). spin_lock(); ... element = rxq->rx_used.next; list_del(element); ... spin_unlock(); ... element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_KERNEL); ... spin_lock() ... list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free); ... spin_unlock(); This patch should fix the "iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers" warning we see recently.

Reported-by: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@users.sourceforge.net> After the code was modified to use urb anchors ("rtl8187: Use usb anchor facilities to manage urbs"), rtl8187 began generating an intermittent GPF on shutdown when using SLUB with debugging enabled. Furthermore, rebooting the system with a ping running caused a GPF every time. There are two problems: (1) incorrect locking in the rtl8187_rx_cb() routine, a pre-existing bug that apparently had not been triggered before, and (2) duplicate freeing of receive skbs that was probably introduced with the change to anchors.
