2010-02-23tc35815: Remove a wrong netif_wake_queue() call which triggers BUG_ONAtsushi Nemoto1-1/+0
The netif_wake_queue() is called correctly (i.e. only on !txfull condition) from txdone routine. So Unconditional call to the netif_wake_queue() here is wrong. This might cause calling of start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger BUG_ON. This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled. After txdone there must be at least one free tx slot. But with NAPI, this is not true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load. In this driver NAPI was enabled on 2.6.33-rc1 so this is regression from 2.6.32 kernel.

2010-02-19iwlwifi: set HT flags after channel in rxonDan Halperin1-1/+1
The HT extension channel settings require priv->staging_rxon.channel to be accurate. However, iwl_set_rxon_ht was being called before iwl_set_rxon_channel and thus HT40 could be broken unless another call to iwl_mac_config came in. This problem was recently introduced by "iwlwifi: Fix to set correct ht configuration" The particular setting in which I noticed this was monitor mode: iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor ifconfig wlan0 up ./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40- #./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40- tcpdump -i wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO would only catch HT40 packets if I issued the IW command twice. From visual inspection, iwl_set_rxon_channel does not depend on iwl_set_rxon_ht, so simply swapping them should be safe and fixes this problem.

2010-02-12sfc: Fix SFE4002 initialisationSteve Hodgson2-1/+2
From: Steve Hodgson <shodgson@solarflare.com> Commit 357d46a17e54c9a87e0e6ef3930ff4ab2d232b81 "sfc: QT202x: Remove unreliable MMD check at initialisation" broke initialisation of the SFE4002. efx_mdio_reset_mmd() returns a positive value rather than 0 on success. The above commit causes this value to be propagated up by qt202x_reset_phy(), which is treated as a failure by its callers. Change qt202x_reset_phy() to return 0 if successful. The PCI layer treats >0 as "fail, but please call remove() anyway", which means that unloading the driver would cause a crash. Add a WARN_ON() on the failure path of efx_pci_probe() to provide early warning if there are any other cases where we do this.

2010-02-10via-velocity: Fix races on shared interruptsSimon Kagstrom1-11/+10
This patch fixes two potential races in the velocity driver: * Move the ACK and error handler to the interrupt handler. This fixes a potential race with shared interrupts when the other device interrupts before the NAPI poll handler has finished. As the velocity driver hasn't acked it's own interrupt, it will then steal the interrupt from the other device. * Use spin_lock_irqsave in velocity_poll. In the current code, the interrupt handler will deadlock if e.g., the NAPI poll handler is executing when an interrupt (for another device) comes in since it tries to take the already held lock. Also unlock the spinlock only after enabling the interrupt in velocity_poll. The error path is moved to the interrupt handler since this is where the ISR is checked now.

2010-02-04igb: make certain to reassign legacy interrupt vectors after resetAlexander Duyck1-15/+5
This change corrects an issue that will cause false hangs when using either 82575 or 82580 in legacy interrupt mode. The issue is caused when there is a slow traffic flow and an "ethtool -r" is executed while using legacy or MSI interrupts. MSI-X is not affected by this issue due to the fact that we were already reconfiguring the vectors after reset. If possible it would be best to push this for net-2.6 since it is resolving a bug but if that is not possible then net-next-2.6 will be fine.

2010-02-03b43: Fix throughput regressionLarry Finger2-3/+11
Commit c7ab5ef9bcd281135c21b4732c9be779585181be entitled "b43: implement short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling. Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s. Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

2010-01-25virtio_net: Make delayed refill more reliableHerbert Xu1-2/+1
I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected OOM. After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side. As the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal skb, the host cannot proceed. The guest did not have a refill job scheduled. My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill job scheduled. The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed. As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall. The following patch removes this stall possibility by always rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled. Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas previously it would occur within a day.

2010-01-25sfc: Add workspace for GMAC bug workaround to MCDI MAC_STATS bufferGuido Barzini1-1/+3
Due to a hardware bug in the SFC9000 family, the firmware must transfer raw GMAC statistics to host memory before aggregating them into the cooked (speed-independent) MAC statistics. Extend the stats buffer to support this. The length of the buffer is explicit in the MAC_STATS command, so this change is backward-compatible on both sides.

2010-01-25qlge: Only free resources if they were allocatedBreno Leitao1-7/+8
Currently qlge tries to release regions even if they were not allocated. This causes messages like the following in the kernel log Trying to free nonexistent resource <00000000006af400-00000000006af4ff> Trying to free nonexistent resource <00003c04ff9f4000-00003c04ff9f7fff> Trying to free nonexistent resource <00003c04ffc00000-00003c04ffcfffff> This patch fixes the goto logic in order to not release the resources if they were not allocated.

2010-01-25ath9k: fix eeprom INI values override for 2GHz-only cardsFelix Fietkau1-4/+3
Among other changes, this commit: commit 06d0f0663e11cab4ec5f2c143a118d71a12fbbe9 Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Date: Thu Feb 12 10:06:45 2009 +0530 ath9k: Enable Fractional N mode changed the hw attach code to fix up initialization values only for dual band devices, however the commit message did not give a reason as to why this would be useful or necessary. According to tests by Jorge Boncompte, this breaks at least some 2GHz-only cards, so the code should be changed back to the unconditional INI fixup.
