On a shuttle machine here we got 07b8:6001 device, handled by zd1211rw, which does not work. Scanning is OK but association does not work, we get "direct probe to AP xxx timed out" It appears that this simple patch makes the device work perfectly. This id was already there in initial import of the driver so I don't know if it has ever been working as ZD1211 (which would mean they changed it and kept the id :( ). Signed-off-by:

If rix is not found in mi->r[], i will become -1 after the loop. This value is eventually used to access arrays, so we were accessing arrays with a negative index, which is obviously not what we want to do. This patch fixes this potential problem. Signed-off-by:

When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it. If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the following two issues. 1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer due to shortage in tx desc. 2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw(). This patch fixes these two issues. kernel BUG at ../drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c:180!

The call resource_size(res) returns res->end - res->start + 1 and thus the second change is semantics-preserving. res_size is then used as the second argument of a call to request_mem_region, and the memory allocated by this call appears to be the same as what is released in the two calls to release_mem_region. So the size argument for those calls should be resource_size(size) as well. Alternatively, in the second call to release_mem_region, the second argument could be res_size, as that variable has already been initialized at the point of this call. The problem was found using the following semantic patch: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ struct resource *res; @@ - (res->end - res->start) + 1 + resource_size(res) @@ struct resource *res; @@ - res->end - res->start + BAD(resource_size(res)) // </smpl> Signed-off-by:

It is currently possible for an asynchronous device unregister to cause the same tun device to be unregistered twice. This is because the unregister in tun_chr_close only checks whether __tun_get(tfile) != NULL. This however has nothing to do with whether the device has already been unregistered. All it tells you is whether __tun_detach has been called. This patch fixes this by using the most obvious thing to test whether the device has been unregistered. It also moves __tun_detach outside of rtnl_unlock since nothing that it does requires that lock. Signed-off-by:

A previous workaround for 82578 to avoid link stall causes some PHY registers to get cleared inadvertently. Add a delay after all LCD resets to make sure PHY registers are in a stable state before continuing. Also, after resets check the EEC register for the state of PHY configuration performed by the MAC for ICH9 and earlier parts (as done before), but check the LAN_INIT_DONE bit in the STATUS register for ICH10 and newer parts (EEC doesn't exist in these newer parts).

Currently if we loaded the driver, insert an unsupported module, and then attempt to "ifconfig up" the device it will be brought down but the netdev would not be unregistered. This behavior is different than all other code paths. This patch corrects that by down'ing the device and then scheduling the sfp_config_module_task tasklet. The tasklet will detect this condition (like it does with other code paths) and do the unregister_netdev(). I also removed the log message as this condition (an unsupported SFP+ module) will be logged in sfp_config_module_task. Signed-off-by:

The change to check the SFP+ module again on open() was causing the XFP (non-SFP+) adapters to be rejected. We only want to try and re-identify the SFP+ module if the original probe found that this device was an SFP+ device. So for this code path (driver loaded with SFP module, module inserted, ifconfig up of the device) the type will be ixgbe_phy_unknown for an unidentified SFP+ module. So we only check if that is the case. This problem also shows up on Copper devices. Signed-off-by:

Several small fixes around negative test case of the insertion of a IXGBE_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED module. - mdio45_probe call was always failing due to mdio.prtad not being set. The function set to mdio.mdio_read was still working as we just happen to always be at prtad == 0. This will allow us to set the phy_id and phy.type correctly now. - There was timing issue with i2c calls when initiated from a tasklet. A small delay was added to allow the electrical oscillation to calm down. - Logic change in ixgbe_sfp_task that allows NOT_SUPPORTED condition to be recognized. Signed-off-by:

We need to set/clear the mac address register when the link goes up/down respectively. Without this both ports of a 2-port device can end up with the same mac address in a bonding scenario. The new ql_link_on() and ql_link_off() will also be used in handling certain firmware events. Signed-off-by:

This addes functionality to set/clear the MAC address in the hardware when the link goes up/down. The MAC address register is persistent across function resets. In bonding the same address can bounce from one port to the other. This can cause packets to be delivered to the wrong port. This patch clears the MAC address in the hardware when the link is down and sets it when the link comes up. It was found that pulling/pushing the cable from one port to another causes the same MAC address to be in both ports. The next patch in this series will use this functionality as well. Signed-off-by:

We were turning on the carrier without verifying the link was up. This adds link up to the link initialize check before turning carrier on. Signed-off-by:

The hardware semaphore covers the configuration register as well as the ICB registers. The ICB high and low regs contain the address of the initialization control block and the config register is used to signal the hardware that a block is ready to be downloaded. Currently we were only protecting the ICB regs. This changes expands to cover the config register as well. Signed-off-by:

There's a bug in addrconf_prefix_rcv() where it won't update the preferred lifetime of an IPv6 address if the current valid lifetime of the address is less than 2 hours (the minimum value in the RA). For example, If I send a router advertisement with a prefix that has valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 2 hours we'll build this address: 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 7175sec preferred_lft 7175sec If I then send the same prefix with valid lifetime = preferred lifetime = 0 it will be ignored since the minimum valid lifetime is 2 hours: 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:217:8ff:fe7d:4718/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 7161sec preferred_lft 7161sec But according to RFC 4862 we should always reset the preferred lifetime even if the valid lifetime is invalid, which would cause the address to immediately get deprecated. So with this patch we'd see this: 5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:1890:1109:a20:21f:29ff:fe5a:ef04/64 scope global deprecated dynamic valid_lft 7163sec preferred_lft 0sec The comment winds-up being 5x the size of the code to fix the problem. Update the preferred lifetime of IPv6 addresses derived from a prefix info option in a router advertisement even if the valid lifetime in the option is invalid, as specified in RFC 4862 Section 5.5.3e. Fixes an issue where an address will not immediately become deprecated. Reported by Jens Rosenboom. Signed-off-by:Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by:
