Some network devices, particularly USB ones, take several seconds to fully init and appear in the device list. If the user turned ipconfig on, they are using it for NFS root or some other early booting purpose. So it makes no sense to just flat out fail immediately if the device isn't found. It also doesn't make sense to just jack up the initial wait to something crazy like 10 seconds. Instead, poll immediately, and then periodically once a second, waiting for a usable device to appear. Fail after 12 seconds. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Tested-by: Christian Pellegrin <chripell@fsfe.org>

we read the IQ correction values (i_cal and q_cal) for G mode from a wrong location (the same shifts as for A mode is applied which is incorrect). use correct locations, matching the docs and HAL sources. also we should write IQ correction only when we have that information in the EEPROM, starting from version 4. also write it in the same way as we do in the periodic recalibration (enable last), just to be sure.

I/Q calibration was completely broken, resulting in a high number of CRC errors on received packets. before i could see around 10% to 20% CRC errors, with this patch they are between 0% and 3%. 1.) the removal of the mask in commit "ath5k: Fix I/Q calibration (f1cf2dbd)" resulted in no mask beeing used when writing the I/Q values into the register. additional errors in the calculation of the values (see 2.) resulted too high numbers, exceeding the masks, so wrong values like 0xfffffffe were written. to be safe we should always use the bitmask when writing parts of a register. 2.) using a (s32) cast for q_coff is a wrong conversion to signed, since we convert to a signed value later by substracting 128. this resulted in too low numbers for Q many times, which were limited to -16 by the boundary check later on. 3.) checked everything against the HAL sources and took over comments and minor optimizations from there. 4.) we can't use ENABLE_BITS when we want to write a number (the number can contain zeros). also always write the correction values first and set ENABLE bit last, like the HAL does.

when using a fixed antenna we should use the antenna number in all tx descriptors, otherwise the hardware will sometimes send the frame out on the other antenna. it seems like the hardware does not always respect the default antenna and diversity settings (esp. AR5K_STA_ID1_DEFAULT_ANTENNA). also i would like to note that antenna diversity does not always work correctly on 5414 (at least) when only one antenna is connected: for example all frames might be received on antenna A but still the HW tries to send on antenna B some times, causing packet loss. this is both verified with the antenna statistics output of the previous patch and a spectrum analyzer.

Commit 34e89507 introduced sta_mtx locking into sta_info_insert() (now sta_info_insert_rcu), but forgot to unlock this mutex on one of the error paths. Fix this by adding the missing mutex_unlock() call for the case where STA insert fails due to an entry existing already. This may happen at least in AP mode when a STA roams between two BSSes (vifs).

Depending on their definition in z/VM, virtual devices for z/VM VSWITCH or GuestLAN must be configured either in layer2 or in layer3 mode. If qeth detects a layer mismatch, device activation fails. Trying to recover from this error cannot help; thus scheduling a recovery should be avoided. In addition, since recovery is forbidden during online setting of a qeth device, existence of its network device is guaranteed for all dev_close() calls in qeth. The corresponding checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ursula.braun@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Frank Blaschka <frank.blaschka@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This reverts commit 21b2d8bd. As explained by Johannes: When we build a probe request frame in the buffer with the SSID, we could arrive over the limit of 200 bytes. When we build it in the buffer without the SSID (wildcard) we don't arrive over 200 bytes, but the ucode still allows direct probe in addition because it has an internal buffer that is larger when it inserts the SSID...

Recent patch "iwlwifi: move 3945 clip groups to 3945 data" exposed a memory corruption problem. When initializing the clip groups the code was mistakenly using the iwlagn rate count, not the 3945 rate count. This resulted in more memory being written than was allocated. "iwlwifi: move 3945 clip groups to 3945 data" moved the location where the clip groups are stored and the impact is now severe in that the number of configured TX queues is modified. Previously the "temperature" field was overwritten, which did not seem to affect the operation. Fix this one instance where wrong rate count was used. I also noticed one more location where the iwlagn rate count was used to index an iwl3945 array, fix this. I also modified one location that modified the iwlagn rate count to obtain the iwl3945 rate count ... just use the iwl3945 rate count directly.

Port commit 20deb48d16fdd07ce2fdc8d03ea317362217e085 from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git Part of the large effort I'm trying to help with getting all the downstreamed code from windriver forward ported to the upstream tree Origional commit message Restore check to filter out inadverdently received messages This patch reimplements a check that allows TIPC to discard messages that are not intended for it. This check was present in TIPC 1.5/1.6, but was removed by accident during the development of TIPC 1.7; it has now been updated to account for new features present in TIPC 1.7 and reinserted into TIPC. The main benefit of this check is to filter out messages arriving from orphaned link endpoints, which can arise when a node exits the network and then re-enters it with a different TIPC network address (i.e. <Z.C.N> value).

Remove htohl implementation from tipc I was working on forward porting the downstream commits for TIPC and ran accross this one: http://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=people/allan/tipc.git;a=commitdiff;h=894279b9437b63cbb02405ad5b8e033b51e4e31e I was going to just take it, when I looked closer and noted what it was doing. This is basically a routine to byte swap fields of data in sent/received packets for tipc, dependent upon the receivers guessed endianness of the peer when a connection is established. Asside from just seeming silly to me, it appears to violate the latest RFC draft for tipc: http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/draft-spec-tipc-02.txt Which, according to section 4.2 and 4.3.3, requires that all fields of all commands be sent in network byte order. So instead of just taking this patch, instead I'm removing the htohl function and replacing the calls with calls to ntohl in the rx path and htonl in the send path. As part of this fix, I'm also changing the subscr_cancel function, which searches the list of subscribers, using a memcmp of the entire subscriber list, for the entry to tear down. unfortunately it memcmps the entire tipc_subscr structure which has several bits that are private to the local side, so nothing will ever match. section 5.2 of the draft spec indicates the <type,upper,lower> tuple should uniquely identify a subscriber, so convert subscr_cancel to just match on those fields (properly endian swapped). I've tested this using the tipc test suite, and its passed without issue. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We added an automatic route cache rebuilding in commit 1080d709 but had to correct few bugs. One of the assumption of original patch, was that entries where kept sorted in a given way. This assumption is known to be wrong (commit 1ddbcb00 gave an explanation of this and corrected a leak) and expensive to respect. Paweł Staszewski reported to me one of his machine got its routing cache disabled after few messages like : [ 2677.850065] Route hash chain too long! [ 2677.850080] Adjust your secret_interval! [82839.662993] Route hash chain too long! [82839.662996] Adjust your secret_interval! [155843.731650] Route hash chain too long! [155843.731664] Adjust your secret_interval! [155843.811881] Route hash chain too long! [155843.811891] Adjust your secret_interval! [155843.858209] vlan0811: 5 rebuilds is over limit, route caching disabled [155843.858212] Route hash chain too long! [155843.858213] Adjust your secret_interval! This is because rt_intern_hash() might be fooled when computing a chain length, because multiple entries with same keys can differ because of TOS (or mark/oif) bits. In the rare case the fast algorithm see a too long chain, and before taking expensive path, we call a helper function in order to not count duplicates of same routes, that only differ with tos/mark/oif bits. This helper works with data already in cpu cache and is not be very expensive, despite its O(N^2) implementation. Paweł Staszewski sucessfully tested this patch on his loaded router.
