Linus Torvalds de33c8db59 Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments
As of commit ba470de431 ("map: handle
mlocked pages during map, remap, unmap") we now use the 'vma' variable
at the end of mmap_region() to handle the page-in of newly mapped
mlocked pages.

However, if we merged adjacent vma's together, the vma we're using may
be stale.  We historically consciously avoided using it after the merge
operation, but that got overlooked when redoing the locked page
handling.

This commit simplifies mmap_region() by doing any vma merges early,
avoiding the issue entirely, and 'vma' will always be valid.  As pointed
out by Hugh Dickins, this depends on any drivers that change the page
offset of flags to have set one of the VM_SPECIAL bits (so that they
cannot trigger the early merge logic), but that's true in general.

Anton Vorontsov e5664bb2a7 gianfar: Fix Wake-on-LAN support
commit 0f0ca340e5 ("phy: power
management support") caused a regression in the gianfar driver.

Now phylib turns off PHY power during suspend, and thus WOL
doesn't work anymore.

This patch workarounds the issue by enabling wakeup in the MDIO
device, i.e. just restores the old behaviour for the gianfar
driver. Note that this way all PHYs on a given MDIO bus won't
be turned off during suspend, which isn't good from the power
saving point of view.

A proper, per netdevice wakeup management support will need
a bit reworked phylib suspend/resume logic.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 1af7ad5104 wimax: fix build issue when debugfs is disabled
As reported by Toralf Förster and Randy Dunlap.

- http://linuxwimax.org/pipermail/wimax/2009-January/000460.html

- http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/279

The definitions needed for the wimax stack and i2400m driver debug
infrastructure was, by mistake, compiled depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
(by them being placed in the debugfs.c files); thus the build broke in
2.6.29-rc3 when debugging was enabled (CONFIG_WIMAX_DEBUG) and
DEBUG_FS was disabled.

These definitions are always needed if debug is enabled at compile
time (independently of DEBUG_FS being or not enabled), so moving them
to a file that is always compiled fixes the issue.

Herbert Xu 81705ad1b2 gro: Do not merge paged packets into frag_list
gro: Do not merge paged packets into frag_list

Bigger is not always better :)

It was easy to continue to merged packets into frag_list after the
page array is full.  However, this turns out to be worse than LRO
because frag_list is a much less efficient form of storage than the
page array.  So we're better off stopping the merge and starting
a new entry with an empty page array.

In future we can optimise this further by doing frag_list merging
but making sure that we continue to fill in the page array.

Herbert Xu 86911732d3 gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packets
Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best.  The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal.  The problem was quite
obvious.  For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.

LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.

This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it.  Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

Shyam Iyer 71b3346d18 net: Fix OOPS in skb_seq_read().
It oopsd for me in skb_seq_read. addr2line said it was
linux-2.6/net/core/skbuff.c:2228, which is this line:


	while (st->frag_idx < skb_shinfo(st->cur_skb)->nr_frags) {


I added some printks in there and it looks like we hit this:

        } else if (st->root_skb == st->cur_skb &&
                   skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list) {
                 st->cur_skb = skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list;
                 st->frag_idx = 0;
                 goto next_skb;
        }



Actually I did some testing and added a few printks and found that the
st->cur_skb->data was 0 and hence the ptr used by iscsi_tcp was null.
This caused the kernel panic.

 	if (abs_offset < block_limit) {
-		*data = st->cur_skb->data + abs_offset;
+		*data = st->cur_skb->data + (abs_offset - st->stepped_offset);

I enabled the debug_tcp and with a few printks found that the code did
not go to the next_skb label and could find that the sequence being
followed was this -

It hit this if condition -

        if (st->cur_skb->next) {
                st->cur_skb = st->cur_skb->next;
                st->frag_idx = 0;
                goto next_skb;

And so, now the st pointer is shifted to the next skb whereas actually
it should have hit the second else if first since the data is in the
frag_list.

        else if (st->root_skb == st->cur_skb &&
                 skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list) {
                st->cur_skb = skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list;
                goto next_skb;
        }

Reversing the two conditions the attached patch fixes the issue for me
on top of Herbert's patches.

Grant Likely e489a44e24 powerpc/5200: Bugfix for PCI mapping of memory and IMMR
This patch ensures that memory gets properly mapped into the PCI
address space.  Without this patch, the memory window BAR is left
at whatever value happened to be loaded into the BAR when Linux
was booted.  Without this patch, memory could end up getting mapped
at any of the 1G address boundaries instead of at '0' where Linux
expects it.

Similarly, this patch also ensures that the internally memory mapped
registers (IMMR) are mapped to the correct PCI address range.

Without this patch, PCI appears to work correctly until a PCI
device is inserted which DMAs into memory.

Michael Buesch 060210f938 b43: Dynamically control log verbosity
Dynamically control the log verbosity with a module parameter.
This enables us to dynamically enable debugging messages (or disable
info, warn, error messages) via module parameter or /sys/module/b43/parameters/verbose.

This increases the module size by about 3k. But in practice it reduces the
module size for the user, because some distributions ship the b43 module
with CONFIG_B43_DEBUG set, which increases the module by about 15k.

So with this patch applied, distributions should really _disable_ CONFIG_B43_DEBUG.
There is no reason to keep it in a production-release kernel.
So we have a net reduction in size by about 12k.

This patch also adds a printk of the wireless core revision, so people
don't have to enable SSB debugging to get the wireless core revision.

Bob Copeland e874e65855 mac80211: flush workqueue a second time in suspend()
Drivers can theoretically queue more work in one of their callbacks
from mac80211 suspend, so let's flush it once more to be on the safe
side, just before calling ->stop().

Bob Copeland 30d3ef41b4 mac80211: change workqueue back to non-freezeable
"mac80211: make workqueue freezable" made the mac80211
workqueue freezeable to prevent us from doing any work after the
driver went away.  This was fine before mac80211 had any suspend
support.

However, now we want to flush this workqueue in suspend().  Because
the thread for a freezeable workqueue is stopped before the device
class suspend() is called, flush_workqueue() will hang in the
suspend-to-disk case.

Converting it back to a non-freezeable queue will keep suspend from
hanging.  Moreover, since we flush the workqueue under RTNL and
userspace is stopped, there won't be any new work in the workqueue
until after resume.  Thus we still don't have to worry about pinging
the AP without hardware.

Alina Friedrichsen dfe670121a mac80211: Fixed BSSID handling revisited
This patch cleanup the fixed BSSID handling, that
ieee80211_sta_set_bssid() works like ieee80211_sta_set_ssid(). So
that the BSSID is only a second selection criterion besides the
SSID. This allows us to create new IBSS networks with fixed BSSIDs,
which was broken before.

In the second version of this patch the handling of the stupid merges
to the same BSSID is moved out to get reworked into an other patch.

And this version hopefully solves the problems with some low-level
drivers and re-adds the config BSSID warning to help debugging the
low-level drivers.

Much thanks to all who have helped testing! :)

Dan Williams c038069352 airo: clean up WEP key operations
get_wep_key() and set_wep_key() combind both get/set of the actual WEP
key and get/set of the transmit index into the same functions.  Split those
out so it's clearer what is going one where.  Add error checking to WEP
key hardware operations too.
