My patch "mac80211: correctly place aMPDU RX reorder code" uses an skb queue for MPDUs that were released from the buffer. I intentially didn't initialise and use the skb queue's spinlock, but in this place forgot that the code variant that doesn't touch the spinlock is needed. Thanks to Christian Lamparter for quickly spotting the bug in the backtrace Reinette reported.

Wifi and wimax coexistence mode is set by wifi at boot time. There can be several modes, defined by priority tables. User space components can decide which one to select by writing to /sys/module/iwmc3200wifi/parameters/wiwi with this patch, before bringing the interface up.

The driver version number is a remnant from when there was an out-of-tree iwlwifi driver. Now that the driver forms part of kernel source we do not need a separate driver version. Instead, we now use the kernel version as driver version. We maintain the previous tags used to indicate which components the driver has been compiled with.

An earlier optimization on removing unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces ("mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces ") ended up removing quite a bit more than just unnecessary traffic. It was not supposed to remove TX status reporting for injected frames, but ended up doing it by checking the injected flag in skb->cb only after that field had been cleared with memset.. Fix this by taking a local copy of the injected flag before skb->cb is cleared. This broke user space applications that depend on getting TX status notifications for injected data frames. For example, STA inactivity poll from hostapd did not work and ended up kicking out stations even if they were still present. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

I've just noticed that some events are no longer propagated for some wireless drivers. Basically, SET request with a extra payload for driver without commit handler. The fix is pretty simple, see attached. Actually, a few lines below this line, you will see that the event generation for simple SET (iwpoint-less ?) is done properly, and this other event generation does not need fixing.

For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43legacy_status() returns a value of 2 (B43legacy_STAT_STARTED); however, one finds that the driver is unable to associate after resuming from hibernation unless this routine returns 1. To satisfy both conditions, the routine is rewritten to return TRUE whenever b43legacy_status() returns a value < 2. This patch fixes the second problem listed in the postings for Red Hat Bugzilla #538523. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Cc: Stable <stable@vger.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

The routine b43_is_hw_radio_enabled() has long been a problem. For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43_status() returns a value of 2 (B43_STAT_STARTED) (BUG 14181). Fixing that results in Bug 14538 in which the driver is unable to reassociate after resuming from hibernation because b43_status() returns 0. The correct fix would be to determine why the status is 0; however, I have not yet found why that happens. The correct value is found for my device, which has PHY revision >= 3. Returning TRUE when the PHY revision < 3 and b43_status() returns 0 fixes the regression for 2.6.32. This patch fixes the problem in Red Hat Bugzilla #538523.

After TCP RCU conversion, tw->tw_refcnt should not be set to 1 in inet_twsk_alloc(). It allows a RCU reader to get this timewait socket, while we not yet stabilized it. Only choice we have is to set tw_refcnt to 0 in inet_twsk_alloc(), then atomic_add() it later, once everything is done. Location of this atomic_add() is tricky, because we dont want another writer to find this timewait in ehash, while tw_refcnt is still zero ! Thanks to Kapil Dakhane tests and reports.

Its currently possible that several threads issuing a connect() find the same timewait socket and try to reuse it, leading to list corruptions. Condition for bug is that these threads bound their socket on same address/port of to-be-find timewait socket, and connected to same target. (SO_REUSEADDR needed) To fix this problem, we could unhash timewait socket while holding ehash lock, to make sure lookups/changes will be serialized. Only first thread finds the timewait socket, other ones find the established socket and return an EADDRNOTAVAIL error. This second version takes into account Evgeniy's review and makes sure inet_twsk_put() is called outside of locked sections.

when disabling interrupts, driver was writing with IO, this is no necessary because on ixgbe parts the hardware can "oneshot" disable and clear the interrupt. So on 82598/82599 use of EIAM should avoid one posted write per interrupt when in MSI-X mode. This should improve performance and seems to in my limited testing, reduce CPU utilization VERY slightly.

decrease the memory utilization of the tx / rx queue allocation by changing the default ring size to 512 (from 1024).
