Second round of drivers for Gb cards (and NIU one I forgot in the 10GB round) Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler. Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This comment suggested storing two pieces of state in the LLC skb control block, and in fact we do. Someone did the implementation but never killed this todo comment :-) Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As the 'state_get' API call was added, we need to increase the minor protocol version number so applications that depend on the can check it's presence. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

When the i2400m is connected to a network, the host interface (USB) cannot be suspended. For that to happen, the device has to have negotiated with the basestation to put the link on IDLE state. If the host tries to put the device in standby while it is connected but not idle, the device resets, as the driver should not do that. To avoid triggering that, when the USB susbsytem requires the driver to autosuspend the device, the driver checks if the device is not yet idle. If it is not, the request is requested (will be retried again later on after the autosuspend timeout). At some point the device will enter idle and the request will succeed (unless of course, there is network traffic, but at that point, there is no idle neither in the link or the host interface).

wimax connection manager / daemon has to know what is current state of the device. Previously it was only possible to get notification whet state has changed. Note: By mistake, the new generic netlink's number for WIMAX_GNL_OP_STATE_GET was declared inserting into the existing list of API calls, not appending; thus, it'd break existing API. Fixed by Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> by moving to the tail, where we add to the interface, not modify the interface. Thanks to Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> for catching this. Signed-off-by: Paulius Zaleckas <paulius.zaleckas@teltonika.lt>

From a fix by Cindy H Kao: Block size has to be set before sending IOE enable because the firmware reads the block size register before it reads IOE register. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

Functions i2400m_report_tlv*() are only called from i2400m_report_hook(), called in a workqueue by i2400m_report_hook_work(). The scheduler checks for device readiness before scheduling. Added an extra check for readiness in i2400m_report_hook_work(), which makes all the checks down the line redundant. Obviously the device state could change in the middle, but error handling would take care of that. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

By running 'echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmxX/i2400m/trace_msg_from_user', the driver will echo to user space all the commands being sent to the device from user space, along with the responses. However, this only helps with the commands being sent from user space; with this patch, the trace hook is moved to i2400m_msg_to_dev(), which is the single access point for running commands to the device (both by user space and the kernel driver). This allows better debugging by having a complete stream of commands/acks and reports. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

When commands are sent from user space, trace both the command sent and the answer received over the "echo" pipe instead of over the "trace" pipe when command tracing is enabled. As well, when the device sends a reports/indications, send it over the "echo" pipe. The "trace" pipe is used by the device to send firmware traces; gets confusing. Another named pipe makes it easier to split debug information. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

The WiMAX i2400m driver needs to generate a fake source MAC address to fake an ethernet header (for destination, the card's MAC is used). This is the source of the packet, which is the basestation it came from. The basestation's mac address is not usable for this, as it uses its own namespace and it is not always available. Currently the fake source MAC address was being set to all zeros, which was causing trouble with bridging. Use random_ether_addr() to generate a proper one that creates no trouble.

First of all, it exposes the SKB list implementation. Second of all it's not needed. If we get called here, we successfully enqueued the URB with the linked SKB and such a completion only gets called one time on such an SKB. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As we know the only packets which need the final pskb_may_pull are completely non-linear, and have all the required bits in frag0, we can perform a straight memcpy instead of going through pskb_may_pull and doing skb_copy_bits.

By caching frag0_len, we can avoid checking both frag0 and the length separately in skb_gro_header.
