Checksum generation is an attribute of our hardware TX queues, not TX descriptors. We previously used a single queue and turned checksum generation on or off as requested through ethtool. However, this can result in regenerating checksums in raw packets that should not be modified. We now create 2 hardware TX queues with checksum generation on or off. They are presented to the net core as one queue since it does not know how to select between them. The self-test verifies that a bad checksum is unaltered on the queue with checksum generation off.

Removes all _nested_compat() functions from the API. The prio qdisc no longer requires them and netem has its own format anyway. Their existance is only confusing. Resend: Also remove the wrapper macro. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Nothing in linux/pim.h should be exported to userspace. This should fix the XORP build failure reported by Jose Calhariz, the debain package maintainer. Nothing originally in linux/mroute.h was exported to userspace ever, but some of this stuff started to be when it was moved into this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong. If we didn't provide these definitions for 10 years we can reasonably expect that applications defined this stuff locally or used GLIBC headers providing the protocol definitions. And as such the only result of this can be conflict and userland build breakage. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Use qdisc_root_sleeping_lock() instead of qdisc_root_lock() where appropriate. The only difference is while dev is deactivated, when currently we can use a sleeping qdisc with the lock of noop_qdisc. This shouldn't be dangerous since after deactivation root lock could be used only by gen_estimator code, but looks wrong anyway.

This patch rewrites the TX power recalculation algorithms to scale better with changed enviromnent. If there's low TX traffic, the power will be checked against the desired values every 60 seconds. If there is high TX traffic, the check is redone every 2 seconds. This improves the reaction times a lot and confuses the rate control less. It will also reduce the time it initially takes to tune to a new TX power value. With the old algorithm it could take about 30 to 45 seconds to settle to a new power value. This will happen in about two to four seconds now. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This patch implements a dynamic "ops" based PHY API. This is needed in order to conveniently support future PHY types to avoid the "switch"-hell. This patch does not change any functionality. It just moves lots of code from one place to another and adjusts it for the changed data structures. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

Instead of using the PLCP flag to indicate if the signal value is plcp or the bitrate we should add a new flag to mark the bitrate type explicitely.

Some hardware configuration registers such as antenna and channel configuration can only be written when the radio is enabled. Previously, we didn't consider this, so some configuration items could be set inconsistently after reenabling the radio. This patch changes the config() handler to only reprogram the hardware when the radio is enabled. Configuration changes that are made while the radio is off are postponed until the radio is switched back on. We also leave the radio turned off during initialization and only enable it when requested by mac80211. This allows us to get rid of the DIRTY_CONFIG flag, because the device is now guaranteed to be completely initialized when brought up by mac80211.

Some of the flags should be accessed atomically to prevent race conditions. The flags that are most important are those that can change often and indicate the actual state of the device, queue or queue entry. The big flag rename was done to move all state flags to the same naming type as the other rt2x00dev flags and made sure all places where the flags were used were changed. ;) Thanks to Stephen for most of the queue flags updates, which fixes some of the most obvious consequences of the race conditions. Among those the notorious: rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0. rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0. rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.

Ever wondered why the signal was so bad with p54 compared to madwifi, or intel? Well, if you have revision 1 rssi calibration curve points in your EEPROM, then wonder no more. The firmware wants a extra 1 byte padding for every curve point. But someone forgot to put them into the EEPROM's data structure... So now, big question: what happens when we blindly "memcpy" these data points? Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Only rev 1 and 2 ssb SPROMs have fields named et0mac and et1mac; however, all of the extraction routines extract pseudo data for these fields from regions that are all 1's resulting in a hardware address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. This patch forces such a fill at the beginning of the data extraction process, and only does the formal extraction if the SPROM rev is 1 or 2.
