Change rt2x00_rf_read() and rt2x00_rf_write() to subtract 1 from the rf register number. This is needed because the rf registers are enumerated starting with one. The size of the rf register cache is just enough to hold all registers, so writing to the highest register was corrupting memory. Add a check to make sure that the rf register number is valid.

Traffic received with a priority tag (VID = 0) and non-zero priority value was incorrectly handled by the VLAN packet code path due to a check on zero for the whole VLAN tag instead of just the VID. This patch masked out the priority field when checking the vlan tag for received VLAN packets. Signed-off-by:

We return the ddp->len in ixgbe_fcoe_ddp() to indicate the length of data that have been DDPed. However, it is possible that the length is 0, e.g., for SCSI READ, the FCP_RSP may come back w/ SCSI status 0x28 as Task Set Full with no FCP data for DDP. In ixgbe_fcoe_ddp(), we return 0 to indicate not passing DDPed packets to upper layer. Therefore in the case of ddp->len being 0 upon FCP_RSP, we do not want to return the 0 ddp->len as we want FCP_RSP to be always delivered to the upper layer. This patch fixes this bug by setting rc only if ddp->len is non-zero. Signed-off-by:

o Remove private workqueue in the driver, move all scheduled tasks to keventd workqueues. This makes ports (interfaces) of same / different NIC boards independent, in terms of their link watchdog and reset tasks. o Move quick checks for link status and temperature in timer callback, schedule watchdog task only if link status changed or temperature reached critical threshold. This also fixes deadlock when thermal panic occurs, watchdog work was flushing workqueue that it was sitting on. Signed-off-by:

Currently setting rx-usecs when the interface is in legacy interrupt mode it is not immediate. We were only setting EITR for each MSIx vector and since this count would be zero for legacy mode it wasn't set until after a reset. This patch corrects that by checking what mode we are in and then setting EITR accordingly. Signed-off-by:

For 'real' hardware CAN devices the netlink interface is used to set CAN specific communication parameters. Real CAN hardware can not be created with the ip tool ... The invocation of 'ip link add type can' lead to an oops as the standard rtnl newlink function was called: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13954 This patch adds a private newlink function for the CAN device driver interface that unconditionally returns -EOPNOTSUPP.

We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID onto the local pending queue when tearing down a block ack request. This is not necessary unless we actually have received a request to start a block ack request (rate control, for example). If we never received that request we should not be splicing the tid pending queue as it would be null, causing a panic. Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set, that will require some further review as it is not quite obvious.

The bank offset was being incorrectly calculated on ICH9 parts with a bank size of 8K (instead of the more common 4K bank) which would cause any NVM writes to be done on the wrong address after switching from bank 1 to bank 0. Additionally, assume we are meant to use bank 0 if a valid bank is not detected, and remove the unnecessary acquisition of the SW/FW/HW semaphore when writing to the shadow ram version of the NVM image.

As it is, parts of the ioctl runs under the RTNL and parts of it do not. The unlocked section is still protected by the BKL, but there can be subtle races. For example, Eric Biederman and Paul Moore observed that if two threads tried to create two tun devices on the same file descriptor, then unexpected results may occur. As there isn't anything in the ioctl that is expected to sleep indefinitely, we can prevent this from occurring by extending the RTNL lock coverage. This also allows to get rid of the BKL. Finally, I changed tun_get_iff to take a tun device in order to avoid calling tun_put which would dead-lock as it also tries to take the RTNL lock. Signed-off-by:

Commit f0b3fbea ("FEC Buffer rework") breaks transmission of packets where the skb data buffer is not memory aligned according to FEC_ALIGNMENT. It incorrectly passes to dma_sync_single() the buffer address directly from the skb, instead of the address calculated for use (which may be the skb address or one of the bounce buffers). It seems there is no use converting the cpu address of the buffer to a physical either, since dma_map_single() expects the cpu address and will return the dma address to use in the descriptor. So remove the use of __pa() on the buffer address as well. This patch is against 2.6.30-rc5. This breakage is a regression over 2.6.30, which does not have this problem. Signed-off-by:

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event record sampling. A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020. Translation: struct trace_entry { type = 0x2b = 43; flags = 1; preempt_count = 2; pid = 0xa = 10; tgid = 0xa = 10; } thread_comm = "events/1" thread_pid = 0xa = 10; func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc() What will come next? - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode for perf trace, etc. - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity. That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity protection. - [...] - Profit! :-) Signed-off-by:
