This patch fixes a problem in the ieee80211 probe response and beacon reception code that would use the packet statistics for a network even if they were received on a channel other than that which the network exists on. This causes a problem in overlapping channels where, for example, a strong AP on channel 2 could have its beacons received on channels 1 and 3, but at much lower signal levels. If scanning was done sequentially, this means the beacon received on channel 3 would update the AP's signal level as being much lower than it really is, which subsequently could cause that AP to be passed over and an alternate AP selected.

This patch modifies the driver to support the ipw2200-fw-3.0 image format. The 3.0 fw image does not add any new capabilities, but as a result of image format changes, it should fix two problems experienced by users: 1) Race conditions with the request_firmware interface and udev/hotplug are improved as only a single request_firmware call is now required to load the firmware and microcode (vs. 3 separate calls previously) 2) The monitor mode firmware (sniffer) is now packaged with the correct boot image so it can now function without frequent restarts. Note: Once you apply this patch, you will also need to upgrade your firmware image to the 3.0 version available from: http://ipw2200.sf.net/firmware.phpSigned-off-by: James Ketrenos <jketreno@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The patch allows the user to set the handover threshold, i.e. the number of consecutively missed beacons that will trigger a roaming attempt. The disassociation threshold is set to 3 times the handover threshold.

Set a meaningful silence threshold value (replacing our previous "0" default), which gets rid of the gratuitous "Link deterioration" notifications that we've been receiving from firmware. This notification feature tells the driver information to help it determine when to pre-emptively restart the firmware/ucode in anticipation of firmware errors! But since setting this new threshold, I haven't seen any such notifications. At least it keeps the logs a little less busy.

This patch does two things. It uses the parameter IW_QUAL_DBM which is new in WE-19 to cause signal level and noise to be reported in dBm by the wireless tools. It also defines the signal level as an unsigned integer so that the signal level will be reported by iwlist iface scan.

The patch roll back the change we made to support for the ability to start/stop independent Tx queues within a single net device in order to support 802.11e QoS. We need to be able to indicate to the upper layers that packets of a given priority can not be sent any more without halting transmission of all packets, and without rescheduling high priority packets down to the next priority level. So we return NETDEV_TX_BUSY in this case and rely on the stack would take care of rescheduling... which it apparently does immediately and consumes the CPU. This caused the ksoftirqd kernel thread consuming almost all the CPU... To put the code back to the way it was before we made these changes we put the call netif_queue_stop back in ipw_tx_skb. This effectively disables multiple priority based transmit queues for 802.11e, but given that its broken anyway...

As stated in a comment, the ipw2200 driver uses several routines that were borrowed from ieee80211_geo.c. As ipw2200 requires ieee80211, these routines are duplicated. The attached patch, which is sent as an attachment to preserve whitespace, converts ipw2200.c to use the ieee80211 versions, thereby reducing bloat in both the source and binary.

Fix QoS is not active even the network and the card is QOS enabled. The problem is we pass the wrong ieee80211_network address to ipw_handle_beacon/ipw_handle_probe_response, thus the ieee80211_network->qos_data.active will not be set, causing the driver not sending QoS frames at all.

It seems that setting scheduling policy and priorities is also the kind of thing that might be performed in apps that also use the NUMA API, so it would seem consistent to use CAP_SYS_NICE for NUMA also.

page migration currently simply retries a couple of times if try_to_unmap() fails without inspecting the return code. However, SWAP_FAIL indicates that the page is in a vma that has the VM_LOCKED flag set (if ignore_refs ==1). We can check for that return code and avoid retrying the migration. migrate_page_remove_references() now needs to return a reason why the failure occured. So switch migrate_page_remove_references to use -Exx style error messages.

* git://oss.sgi.com:8090/oss/git/rc-fixes: Fix a direct I/O locking issue revealed by the new mutex code.
-
Nathan Scott authored
Affects only XFS (i.e. DIO_OWN_LOCKING case) - currently it is not possible to get i_mutex locking correct when using DIO_OWN direct I/O locking in a filesystem due to indeterminism in the possible return code/lock/unlock combinations. This can cause a direct read to attempt a double i_mutex unlock inside XFS. We're now ensuring __blockdev_direct_IO always exits with the inode i_mutex (still) held for a direct reader. Tested with the three different locking modes (via direct block device access, ext3 and XFS) - both reading and writing; cannot find any regressions resulting from this change, and it clearly fixes the mutex_unlock warning originally reported here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114189068126253&w=2Signed-off-by: Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com> Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

- Disable the EDAC sysfs code. The sysfs interface that EDAC presents to user space needs more thought, and is likely to change substantially. Therefore disable it for now so users don't start depending on it in its current form. - Disable the default behavior of calling panic() when an uncorrectible error is detected (since for now, there is no sysfs interface that allows the user to configure this behavior).
