From: Hermann Lauer <Hermann.Lauer@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de> Attached is a patch which improves the output of ethtool (see below) to some sensefull values with a sungem fibre card which uses the sungem interal pcs connected to a serdes chip. The seriallink case in the driver is untouched. Most values are hardcoded, because gigabit fibre autoneg is anyways limited and the driver don't really support much at the moment with that hardware.

This patch addresses a book-keeping issue in tcp_vegas.c. At present tcp_vegas does separate book-keeping of cwnd based on packet sequence numbers. A mismatch can develop between this book-keeping and tp->snd_cwnd due, for example, to delayed acks acking multiple packets. When vegas transitions to reno operation (e.g. following loss), then this mismatch leads to incorrect behaviour (akin to a cwnd backoff). This seems mostly to affect operation at low cwnds where delayed acking can lead to a significant fraction of cwnd being covered by a single ack, leading to the book-keeping mismatch. This patch modifies the congestion avoidance update to avoid the need for separate book-keeping while leaving vegas congestion avoidance functionally unchanged. A secondary advantage of this modification is that the use of fixed-point (via V_PARAM_SHIFT) and 64 bit arithmetic is no longer necessary, simplifying the code. Some example test measurements with the patched code (confirming no functional change in the congestion avoidance algorithm) can be seen at: http://www.hamilton.ie/doug/vegaspatch/Signed-off-by: Doug Leith <doug.leith@nuim.ie> Signed-off-by: David S.

As reported by Hermann Lauer, PCS PHY support in the sungem driver simply doesn't work. When the chip is reset due to open, or some other similar operation, the PCS is reset too but we don't program it back into a running state. The result is no link when the device is brought up. This partially rectifies the situation for the moment, by kicking the PCS after a sungem chip reset so that it will renegotiate and be re-enabled again. The behavior is still a little bit dodgy as the added renegotiate make the link take some time after bringing the interface up, but this is a significant improvement in that things actually work now :-) Based almost entirely upon an initial patch by Hermann.

Under my 2.6.28-rc6 sparc64, when associating to an AP through my zd1211rw device, I was seeing kernel log messages like (not exact output): Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10129b68] zd_mac_rx+0x144/0x32c [zd1211rw] For the zd1211rw module, on RX, the 80211 packet will be located after the PLCP header in the skb data buffer. The PLCP header being 5 bytes long, the 80211 header will start unaligned from an aligned skb buffer. As per Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt, we must replace the not unaligned() safe compare_ether_addr() with memcmp() to protect architectures that require alignment.

After fixing zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr(), I started to see kernel log messages detailing unaligned access: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100f7f44] sta_info_get+0x24/0x68 [mac80211] As with the aforementioned patch, the unaligned access was eminating from a compare_ether_addr() call. Concerned that whilst it was safe to assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the easy fix of changing the call to memcmp(). My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing mac address comparisons throughout the module.

In "ipw2200: Call netif_*_queue() interfaces properly", netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue() were removed with the reason "netif_carrier_{on,off}() handles starting and stopping packet flow into the driver". The patch also removes a valid condition check that ipw_tx_skb() cannot be called if device is not in STATUS_ASSOCIATED state. But netif_carrier_off() doesn't guarantee netdev->hard_start_xmit won't be called because linkwatch event is handled in a delayed workqueue. This caused a kernel oops reported by Frank Seidel: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397390 This patch fixes the problem by moving the STATUS_ASSOCIATED check back to ipw_tx_skb(). It also adds a missing netif_carrier_off() call to ipw_disassociate().

This patch cleans uCode key table bit map iwl_clear_stations_table since all stations are cleared also the key table must be. Since the keys are not removed properly on suspend by mac80211 this may result in exhausting key table on resume leading to memory corruption during removal This patch also fixes a memory corruption problem reported in http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=122641417231586&w=2 and tracked in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12040. When the key is removed a second time the offset is set to 255 - this index is not valid for the ucode_key_table and corrupts the eeprom pointer (which is 255 bits from ucode_key_table).

This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c. At the moment this code leaves ssthresh untouched. However, this means that the vegas congestion control algorithm is effectively unable to reduce cwnd below the ssthresh value (if the vegas update lowers the cwnd below ssthresh, then slow start is activated to raise it back up). One example where this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would restore the window again. Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data" (33cf71ce). It also removes some unnecessary code from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could be that something was changed down the road, or it might have been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from ~64k before the urg point. The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.

On "/etc/init.d/capiutils stop", this oops happened. The oops happens on reading /proc/capi/controllers because capi_ctrl->procinfo is called for the wrongly not unregistered controller, which points to b1isa_procinfo(), which was removed on module unload. b1isa_exit() did not call b1isa_remove() for its controllers because io[0] == 0 on module unload despite having been 0x340 on module load. Besides, just removing the controllers that where added on module load time and not those that were added later via b1isa_add_card() is wrong too - the place where all added cards are found is isa_dev[]. relevant dmesg lines: [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.27.4 (w@shubashi) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) ) #3 Thu Oct 30 16:49:03 CET 2008 [ 67.403555] CAPI Subsystem Rev 1.1.2.8 [ 68.529154] capifs: Rev 1.1.2.3 [ 68.563292] capi20: Rev 1.1.2.7: started up with major 68 (middleware+capifs) [ 77.026936] b1: revision 1.1.2.2 [ 77.049992] b1isa: revision 1.1.2.3 [ 77.722655] kcapi: Controller [001]: b1isa-340 attached [ 77.722671] b1isa: AVM B1 ISA at i/o 0x340, irq 5, revision 255 [ 81.272669] b1isa-340: card 1 "B1" ready.

Due to a wrong safety check in af_can.c it was not possible to filter for SFF frames with a specific CAN identifier without getting the same selected CAN identifier from a received EFF frame also. This fix has a minimum (but user visible) impact on the CAN filter API and therefore the CAN version is set to a new date. Indeed the 'old' API is still working as-is. But when now setting CAN_(EFF|RTR)_FLAG in can_filter.can_mask you might get less traffic than before - but still the stuff that you expected to get for your defined filter ...

The bnx2 chips do not support per MSI vector masking. On 5706/5708, new MSI address/data are stored only when the MSI enable bit is toggled. As a result, SMP affinity no longer works in the latest kernel. A more serious problem is that the driver will no longer receive interrupts when the MSI receiving CPU goes offline. The workaround in this patch only addresses the problem of CPU going offline. When that happens, the driver's timer function will detect that it is making no forward progress on pending interrupt events and will recover from it. Eric Dumazet reported the problem. We also found that if an interrupt is internally asserted while MSI and INTA are disabled, the chip will end up in the same state after MSI is re-enabled. The same workaround is needed for this problem. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Tested-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Count the insertion of new pages in the statistics used to drive the pageout scanning code. This should help the kernel quickly evict streaming file IO. We count on the fact that new file pages start on the inactive file LRU and new anonymous pages start on the active anon list. This means streaming file IO will increment the recent scanned file statistic, while leaving the recent rotated file statistic alone, driving pageout scanning to the file LRUs. Pageout activity does its own list manipulation.

Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the last registered device of the devices sharing one queue. On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created. This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

The previous patch from Alan Cox ("nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash", commit 731572d3) fixed the problem where knfsd crashes on exported shmemfs objects and strict overcommit is set. But the patch forgot supporting the case when CONFIG_SECURITY is disabled. This patch copies a part of his fix which is mainly for detecting a bug earlier.
