ToF is a time based method for measurement of the WiFi device location within a WiFi environment. The driver functionality provided by this patch is the interface for communication with FW and receiving location related updates from the FW. The interface provided by this patch is via debugfs.

All the supported firmwares support this API. This includes removing dwell per band, as band is no longer a factor in calculating the dwell. Only basic dwell is used and FW will calculate the actual dwell time. Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

The 'flags' field really has been reserved in the firmware API for a very long time, probably since 4965. As a consequence, the field is always 0 and checking for a IWL_CMD_FAILED_MSK flag makes no sense. Rename the field to 'reserved', get rid of IWL_CMD_FAILED_MSK and all the code for it.

In iwlmvm firmwares, the Byte count written in the scheduler byte count table is in DWORDs and not in bytes. We should check that this value fits in the 12 bits and the value can be either in bits of in DWORD or bytes depending on the firmware. Check the value after the translation to DWORDs is done (if needed). Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

In a few places, we were disabling interrupts but didn't make sure that the interrupt handler has finished running. Add calls to synchronize_irq() to ensure we finish handling the interrupts before we free resources or other things that could lead to a crash if the interrupt were to be handled later.

This makes the logging a little less useful, but as they're mostly synchronous commands it won't matter much. It gets rid of the dependency on the input command, which this is the only user of.

This driver currently has some very confusing ADD_STA response handling that runs asynchronously in the background for all of the commands, but is only really necessary for synchronous ones (the really asynchronous ones can only be done for already existing stations), and for the sync ones it actually waits for the RX handler to return a status code. Rework this to keep the debug printing in the handler, but do the code that's supposed to have an effect only for sync commands in the command sending function.

The current key offset assignment algorithm always uses the lowest unused key offset, which will potentially lead to issues when the firmware will change to take the key material for TX from the key table rather than from the TX command. In order to avoid those issues (and avoid forgetting about them) change the key offset allocation algorithm now to avoid reusing key offsets quickly. The new algorithm always picks as the next offset the least recently freed offset, i.e. the offset that has been unused for the longest amount of time. This is implemented by having a generation counter for each key offset that is incremented every time a key is deleted, except for the one that's deleted, which is reset to zero. Thus the highest counter is the key that's been unused longest. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

During NIC initialization shared HW is reset and this disables the scheduler. Some HW platforms do not activate the scheduler after it. Consequently all HCMD sent by the driver stay at the queues which cause to queue stuck. Set the scheduler to work on auto active mode so it would be activated upon change over one of the queues' write pointer.

In scenarios where we haven't converged yet to a specific modulation and rate it could be better to report to userspace the last tx rate based on the STA capabilities and RSSI. This is important as sometimes userspace displays the last tx rate as the link speed. This avoids being presented with low legacy rates when rs just begins its search or after an idle period in which it resets itself.

Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1" fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits set because of the following factors: [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so it will be filled with garbage. [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC controller (for example error flags etc). And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1" fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block. This change addresses both items above with: [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because this allocation only happens once on driver probe. [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields of all buffer descriptors during initialization of DMA transfer. And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent() counterpart as well.

Andy Gospodarek says: ==================== changes to make ipv4 routing table aware of next-hop link status This series adds the ability to have the Linux kernel track whether or not a particular route should be used based on the link-status of the interface associated with the next-hop. Before this patch any link-failure on an interface that was serving as a gateway for some systems could result in those systems being isolated from the rest of the network as the stack would continue to attempt to send frames out of an interface that is actually linked-down. When the kernel is responsible for all forwarding, it should also be responsible for taking action when the traffic can no longer be forwarded -- there is no real need to outsource link-monitoring to userspace anymore. This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'. net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, the kernel will not only report to userspace that the link is down, but it will also report to userspace that a route is dead. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be selected.

If the global or interface sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when p8p1 is down: default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 If the dead flag does not appear there should be no expectation that the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down. v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches: first to add linkdown flag and second to add new sysctl settings. Also took suggestion from Alex to simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and suggestion from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl. Added iproute2 patch to recognize and print linkdown flag. v3: Code cleanups along with reverse-path checks suggested by Alex and small fixes related to problems found when multipath was disabled. v4: Drop binary sysctls v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave v6: Style changes noticed by Dave and checkpath suggestions. v7: Last checkpatch fixup. Though there were some that preferred not to have a configuration option and to make this behavior the default when it was discussed in Ottawa earlier this year since "it was time to do this." I wanted to propose the config option to preserve the current behavior for those that desire it. I'll happily remove it if Dave and Linus approve. An IPv6 implementation is also needed (DECnet too!), but I wanted to start with the IPv4 implementation to get people comfortable with the idea before moving forward. If this is accepted the IPv6 implementation can be posted shortly. There was also a request for switchdev support for this, but that will be posted as a followup as switchdev does not currently handle dead next-hops in a multi-path case and I felt that infra needed to be added first. FWIW, we have been running the original version of this series with a global sysctl and our customers have been happily using a backported version for IPv4 and IPv6 for >6 months. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'. net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib lookup. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be selected. The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace if the sysctl is enabled and link is down. This was done as without it the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would be selected. The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the interface has IFF_UP cleared. With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed (interface p8p1 is link-down): default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1 cache local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1 cache <local> 80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15 cache While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is down.

Add a fib flag called RTNH_F_LINKDOWN to any ipv4 nexthops that are reachable via an interface where carrier is off. No action is taken, but additional flags are passed to userspace to indicate carrier status. This also includes a cleanup to fib_disable_ip to more clearly indicate what event made the function call to replace the more cryptic force option previously used. v2: Split out kernel functionality into 2 patches, this patch simply sets and clears new nexthop flag RTNH_F_LINKDOWN. v3: Cleanups suggested by Alex as well as a bug noticed in fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up when multipath was not enabled. v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave. v6: Style fixups noticed by Dave; ran checkpatch to be sure I got them all.

switchdev_port_bridge_getlink() queries SWITCHDEV_ATTR_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS attributes, but a driver doesn't need to implement this in order to get bridge link information. So error out only on errors different than -EOPNOTSUPP. (This is a follow-up patch for 7d4f8d87.)

This bug pops up with NetworkManager on Fedora 21. NetworkManager tends to stop the interface (nicvf_stop() is called) before changing settings. In stopped state MAC cannot be sent to a PF. However, when the interface is restarted (nicvf_open() is called), we ping the PF using NIC_MBOX_MSG_READY message, and the PF replies back with old MAC address, overriding what we had after MAC setting from userspace. As a result, we cannot set MAC address using NetworkManager. This patch introduces special tracking of MAC change in stopped state so that the correct new MAC address is sent to a PF when interface is reopen.

ICMP messages can trigger ICMP and local errors. In this case serr->port is 0 and starting from Linux 4.0 we do not return the original target address to the error queue readers. Add function to define which errors provide addr_offset. With this fix my ping command is not silent anymore.
