An earlier commit, 'ath9k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix', removed code that was documented to disable RETRY_TIMEOUT register (PCI reg 0x41) since it was claimed to be a no-op. However, it turns out that there are some combinations of hosts and ath9k-supported cards for which this is not a no-op (reg 0x41 has value 0x80, not 0) and this code (or something similar) is needed. In such cases, the driver may be next to unusable due to very frequent PCI FATAL interrupts from the card. Reverting the earlier commit, i.e., restoring the RETRY_TIMEOUT disabling, seems to resolve the issue. Since the removal of this code was not based on any known issue and was purely a cleanup change, the safest option here is to just revert that commit. Should there be desire to clean this up in the future, the change will need to be tested with a more complete coverage of cards and host systems. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13483 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The patch adds a mutex to protect the iwm_reset_worker against netdev ndo_open and ndo_stop because all of them call iwm_up and iwm_down in the implementation. Note the latter two are already protected by rtnl. So if iwm_reset_worker is not required in the future, the mutex can also be removed.

The iwm_if_free() is called before destroy_workqueue for isr_wq on device remove method. But if there is still some pending work in the isr_wq, the required data structures are already freed at this point. This leeds a kernel oops. The patch fixes this problem by moving iwm_if_free after destroy_workqueue. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <samuel.ortiz@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

We used to do alloc_netdev and register_netdev at the same time in iwm_if_alloc. But some bus related structures will only be initialized after iwm_priv is allocated. This caused a race condition that the netdev might be registered earlier. The patch adds iwm_if_add and iwm_if_remove so that the bus layer could register the device after all initialization is done.

We need to check for iwm_priv_init() errors and do proper cleanups. Otherwise we may fail to catch the create_singlethread_workqueue() error which will cause a kernel oops when destroy_workqueue() later.

This forces every update of tx ring producer to check for availability of space for next full TSO command. Earlier firmware control commands didn't care to pause tx queue. Stop the tx queue if there's not enough space to transmit one full LSO command left on the tx ring after current transmit. This avoids returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY after checking distance between producer and consumer on every cpu. Restart the tx queue only if we have cleaned up enough tx descriptors.

If the adapter is not power-manageable using either ACPI, or the native PCI PM interface, __e100_power_off() returns error code, which causes every attempt to suspend to fail, although it should return 0 in such a case.

This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits: 1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer. 2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently on netdevices (with exporting right functions). I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.

My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't strict enough. It treats exceptionally tnodes without parent, assuming they are newly created, so "invisible" for the read side yet. But the top tnode doesn't have parent as well, so we have to exclude all exceptions (at least until a better way is found). Additionally we need to move rcu assignment of this node before flushing, so the return type of the trie_rebalance() function is changed.

Looking at the crash in log_martians(), one suspect is that the check for mac header being set is not correct. The value of mac_header defaults to 0 on allocation, therefore skb_mac_header_was_set will always be true on platforms using NET_SKBUFF_USES_OFFSET.

commit 2b85a34e (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx) changed initial sk_wmem_alloc value. Some protocols check sk_wmem_alloc value to determine if a timer must delay socket deallocation. We must take care of the sk_wmem_alloc value being one instead of zero when no write allocations are pending. Reported by Ingo Molnar, and full diagnostic from David Miller. This patch introduces three helpers to get read/write allocations and a followup patch will use these helpers to report correct write allocations to user.
