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.

Commit 46abc021 ("phylib: give mdio buses a device tree presence") added a call to device_unregister() in a situation where the caller did not intend for the device to be freed yet, but apart from just unregistering the device from the system, device_unregister() does an additional put_device() that is intended to free it. The right function to use in this situation is device_del(), which unregisters the device from the system like device_unregister() does, but without dropping the reference count an additional time.

This is the next page of the scm recursion story (the commit f8d570a4 net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy()). In function scm_fp_dup(), the INIT_LIST_HEAD(&fpl->list) of newly created fpl is done *before* the subsequent memcpy from the old structure and thus the freshly initialized list is overwritten. But that's OK, since this initialization is not required at all, since the fpl->list is list_add-ed at the destruction time in any case (and is unused in other code), so I propose to drop both initializations, rather than moving it after the memcpy. Please, correct me if I miss something significant. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This fixes a TX hang reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer. When an architecutre cannot provide a fully functional 64-bit atomic readq/writeq, the driver must implement it's own. This is because only the driver can say whether doing something like using two 32-bit reads to implement the full 64-bit read will actually work properly. In particular one of the issues is whether the top 32-bits or the bottom 32-bits of the 64-bit register should be read first. There could be side effects, and in fact that is exactly the problem here. The TX_CS register has counters in the upper 32-bits and state bits in the lower 32-bits. A read clears the state bits. We would read the counter half before the state bit half. That first read would clear the state bits, and then the driver thinks that no interrupts are pending because the interrupt indication state bits are seen clear every time. Fix this by reading the bottom half before the upper half. Tested-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <jdb@comx.dk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device to the physical wireless device. Unfortunately, that trick no longer works... Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack the best option we have in the short run. Hopefully someone will eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected hardware dies. (Above text by me.

This patch fixes a minor bug in tcp_htcp.c which has been highlighted by Lachlan Andrew and Lawrence Stewart. Currently, the time since the last congestion event, which is stored in variable last_cong, is reset whenever there is a state change into TCP_CA_Open. This includes transitions of the type TCP_CA_Open->TCP_CA_Disorder->TCP_CA_Open which are not associated with backoff of cwnd. The patch changes last_cong to be updated only on transitions into TCP_CA_Open that occur after experiencing the congestion-related states TCP_CA_Loss, TCP_CA_Recovery, TCP_CA_CWR.
