The DMA-mapping.txt Documentation recommends this but for PCI-X
considerations and on strange architecture like SGI SN2, not sure

Instead of hardcoding the used in/out endpoints
we should detect them by walking through all
available endpoints.
rt2800usb will gain the most out of this, because
the legacy drivers indicate that there are multiple
endpoints available.
However this code might benefit at least rt73usb as
well for the MIMO queues, and if we are really lucky
rt2500usb will benefit because for the TX and PRIO
queues.
Even if rt2500usb and rt73usb do not get better performance
after this patch, the endpoint detection still belongs to
rt2x00usb, and it shouldn't hurt to always try to detect
the available endpoints.

that the sequence number reported by hardware includes entire sequence
control in a 12 bit only field, so a workaround is done to check only

Race condition causes RX buffers to be accessed even before it is
initialized. The RX and TX buffers are initialized immediately after
the hardware is registered with mac80211. The mac80211 start callback
is ready to be fired once the device is registered for a case when the
wpa_supplicant is also running at the same time.
The same race condition is also possible for RKFILL registration
as RFKILL init happens after the device registration with mac80211
and it is possible that rfkill_register would be called even before
it is initialized.

The callback function write_tx_data() can only fail
when our ENTRY_OWNER_DEVICE_DATA flag on a queue entry
failed to determine the entry was not available and
it is in fact still owned by the hardware.
This means that if that function fails the queue
must be stopped in mac80211.
When rt2x00queue_get_queue() returns NULL in the TX
path, it means mac80211 has passed us an invalid queue,
although this should be impossible, it shouldn't hurt
if we send mac80211 a signal to stop the queue either.
Both issues can simply be resolved by removing their
manual failure handler and making them use the failure path
provided in rt2x00mac_tx().

This should fix the SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
seen ok kernel.org bugzilla 11811:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11811
Users on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2 would see something like:
DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4224 bytes at device 0000:0b:00.0
Unfortunately its only easy to trigger on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2
so far so its difficult to debug (even with swiotlb=force).
We were pci_unmap_single()'ing less bytes than what we called
for with pci_map_single() and as such we were starving
the swiotlb from its 64MB amount of bounce buffers. We remain
consistent and now always use sc->rxbufsize for RX. While at
it we update the beacon DMA maps as well to only use the data
portion of the skb, previous to this we were pci_map_single()'ing
more data for beaconing than what we tell the hardware it can use,
therefore pushing more iotlb abuse.
Still not sure why this is so easily triggerable on
MacBook Pro 3.1, it may be the hardware configuration
tends to use more memory > 3GB mark for DMA.

I asked around, and he's right, there may be platforms that do not allow

changes it by using the proper dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu API

This patch replaces hardcoded 2's with the NET_IP_ALIGN constant or
TG3_RAW_IP_ALIGN where appropriate. Some platforms can redefine the
NET_IP_ALIGN definition to zero if unaligned DMA transfers cost more
than the IP header alignment gains. This patch represents a
performance improvement when using the 5701 on these platforms.
The copy path can be avoided.
TG3_RAW_IP_ALIGN is used in cases where we always want to align the
IP header on dword boundaries.

Check return code for all NVM accesses[1] and error out accordingly; log
a debug message for failed accesses.
For ICH8/9, the valid NVM bank detect function was not checking whether the
SEC1VAL (sector 1 valid) bit in the EECD register was itself valid (bits 8
and 9 also have to be set). If invalid, it would have defaulted to the
possibly invalid bank 0. Instead, try to use the valid bank detection
method used by ICH10 which has been cleaned up a bit.

Hi,
after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with
the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the
respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed
out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs
doesn't claim this ID.
I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to
axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel
maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch
and integrated it into the kernel:
<http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fullstory/linux-sidux-2.6/trunk/debian/patches/features/2.6.27.4_PCMCIA_move-PCMCIA-ID-for-Netgear-FA411-from-pcnet_cs-to-axnet_cs.patch>
This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for
other devices on sidux-support.
This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited
experience with kernel modifications I might be woefully wrong there.
But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it
into the official kernel?
I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if
necessary.

Indirect registers require multiple calls to the CSR
register in order to access the indirect registers.
This must be protected under a lock to prevent race
conditions which could cause invalid data to
be returned when reading from the indirect register or silent
failures when writing data to the indirect register.
USB drivers where already protected under a mutex,
so rename the mutex and make PCI drivers use the mutex
as well.
This now means that BBP and RF registers are no longer
accessible in interrupt context. That is not a bad
situation since the slow behavior of accessing
those registers means we don't _want_ to access them
in interrupt context either.

Merge the callback functions init_txentry() and

lot simpler and we can cleanup several functions.
rt2x00pci contained "fake" FIELD definitions for

assumes the driver will always have the same field

This should be dependent on the driver, and we

Noise floor calibration occasionally fails on Atheros hardware.
This is not fatal and can happen if there's simply too much
noise on the air. Ignoring the calibration error is the right
thing to do here, because when the error is ignored, the hardware
will still work, whereas if the error causes the driver to bail out
of a bigger configuration function and does not configure the tx
queues or the IMR (as is the case in reset.c), the hw no longer
works properly until the next reset.

With the new configuration handling, and more specifically
splitting the configuration of the antenna from the normal
configuration steps allowed a BUG_ON() to be triggered
in the driver because the SW_DIVERSITY was send to the
driver. This fixes that by catching the value early in
rt2x00config.c and replacing it with a sensible value.
This also fixes a problem where the antenna is not being
initialized at all when the radio is enabled. Since it
no longer is part of the mac80211 configuration the
only place where rt2x00 configured it was the SW diversity
handler. Obviously this is broken for all non-diversity
hardware and breaks SW diversity due to a broken initialization.
When the radio is enabled the antenna will be configured
once as soon as the config() callback function is called.

mac80211 will call set_key() when the device is
shutting down. When the device is unplugged the
keys will be lost automatically due to the power
loss. When the device is not plugged but the module
is only unloaded the keys can remain in the device
hardware, when the module is loaded the keys will
be cleaned up during initialization.
This should prevent the problem reported by Johannes Berg,
where unplugging the device while suspended resulted in
a NULL pointer error during set_key() which was

For every global LED state change (register/unregister,
suspend/resume) we should force the LEDS to turn off.
This makes sure that the LEDS will always be in a sane
state after the state switch.
Note that when unregister is called but the LED class
wasn't resumed yet, we shouldn't change the LED state
since we might not have access to the device (device
was unplugged while suspended).
Also remove the checks in the activity, assoc and
radio LEDS which blocked calls to brightness_set()
when the state hasn't changed. Some of those LEDS
could be enabled by themselves when something happens
in the hardware (e.g. firmware is loaded). We already
did called rt2x00leds to switch the LED off, but those

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.
(Original patch posted by Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> w/ above
changelog but using dev->ml_priv. That doesn't seem appropriate
to me for this driver, so I've revamped it to use netdev_priv()
instead. -- JWL)

Currently, if multiple unicast addresses are programmed into a
mv643xx_eth interface, the core networking will resort to enabling
promiscuous mode on the interface, as mv643xx_eth does not implement
->set_rx_mode().
This patch switches mv643xx_eth over from ->set_multicast_list()
to ->set_rx_mode(), and implements support for secondary unicast
addresses. The hardware can handle multiple unicast addresses as
long as their first 11 nibbles are the same (i.e. are of the form
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xy where the x part is the same for all addresses), so
if that is the case, we use that mode. If it's not the case, we enable
unicast promiscuous mode in the hardware, which is slightly better than
enabling promiscuous mode for multicasts as well, which is what would
happen before.
While we are at it, change the programming sequence so that we
don't clear all filter bits first, so we don't lose all incoming
packets while the filter is being reprogrammed.

The mv643xx_eth driver uses the rdl()/wrl() macros to read and
write hardware registers. Per-port registers are accessed in the
following way:
#define PORT_STATUS(p) (0x0444 + ((p) << 10))
[...]
static inline u32 rdl(struct mv643xx_eth_private *mp, int offset)
{
return readl(mp->shared->base + offset);
}
[...]
port_status = rdl(mp, PORT_STATUS(mp->port_num));
By giving the per-port 'struct mv643xx_eth_private' its own
'void __iomem *base' pointer that points to the per-port register
area, we can get rid of both the double indirection and the << 10
that is done for every per-port register access -- this patch does

A previous patch, 51e2a3846e, made
genphy_config_aneg() not restart aneg by calling genphy_restart_aneg() if
the advertisement hadn't changed.
But, genphy_restart_aneg() doesn't just restart aneg, it may also *enable*
aneg or un-isolate the PHY from the MII (those functions are controlled by
the same register). The code to avoid calling genphy_restart_aneg() didn't
consider this.
So, modify genphy_config_aneg() to also check if the PHY needs to have aneg
enabled or be un-isolated before deciding not to restart aneg.
This caused a problem with certain Davicom PHYs, as that driver isolates
the PHY (why?) before calling genphy_config_aneg() and expects the PHY to
be un-isolated by that function.

So I dug deeper into the DMA problems I had with iwlagn and a kind soul
helped me in that he said something about pci-e alignment and mentioned
the iwl_rx_allocate function to check for crossing 4KB boundaries. Since
there's 8KB A-MPDU support, crossing 4k boundaries didn't seem like
something the device would fail with, but when I looked into the
function for a minute anyway I stumbled over this little gem:
BUG_ON(rxb->dma_addr & (~DMA_BIT_MASK(36) & 0xff));
Clearly, that is a totally bogus check, one would hope the compiler
removes it entirely. (Think about it)
After fixing it, I obviously ran into it, nothing guarantees the
alignment the way you want it, because of the way skbs and their
headroom are allocated. I won't explain that here nor double-check that
I'm right, that goes beyond what most of the CC'ed people care about.
So then I came up with the patch below, and so far my system has
survived minutes with 64K pages, when it would previously fail in
seconds. And I haven't seen a single instance of the TX bug either. But
when you see the patch it'll be pretty obvious to you why.
This should fix the following reported kernel bugs:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11596http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11983
I haven't checked if there are any elsewhere, but I suppose RHBZ will
have a few instances too...
I'd like to ask anyone who is CC'ed (those are people I know ran into
the bug) to try this patch.
I am convinced that this patch is correct in spirit, but I haven't
understood why, for example, there are so many unmap calls. I'm not
entirely convinced that this is the only bug leading to the TX reply
errors.

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.
