2010-08-24iwlagn: adjust starting action for rate scaleWey-Yi Guy
During rate scale, reset starting action after making action adjustment to avoid the possibility of break out of loop too early. Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>
2010-08-24iwlwifi: refactor iwl_setup_rxon_timingJohannes Berg
All callers of iwl_setup_rxon_timing() also send the command right away, so rename the function to iwl_send_rxon_timing() and move the sending into it. Also, some callers clear the data, this can be done always and thus moved in as well. Finally, there's no reason for the function to acquire the spinlock, but it should be called with the mutex held, so assert that.

2010-08-24iwlwifi: cleanup iwl_set_rxon_channel()Shanyu Zhao
Update outdated comments of iwl_set_rxon_channel() to reflect the current signature. Also remove the unnecessary validation of the channel. Those channel info are constructed in iwlwifi driver and mac80211 will never modify the content of the struct. Also everytime before this function is called the channel info has been validated already (as a paranoid check).

2010-08-24iwlwifi: avoid race condition in channel changeShanyu Zhao
When iwl_mac_config() is called by mac80211, the channel pointer hw->conf->channel can potentially change, resulting in mismatch band and channel number when configuring RXON command. To avoid this situation, save the channel pointer in local variables and validate the channel before using it. Note that priv->mutex is locked during the whole function so the local variables are safe. Same change is applied to iwl_mac_channel_switch() since basically it copies code from iwl_mac_config(). Also removed an outdated comment in the flow. Signed-off-by: Shanyu Zhao <shanyu.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>
2010-08-24iwlwifi: do not call ieee80211_frequency_to_channelShanyu Zhao
A few cases in iwlwifi driver function ieee80211_frequency_to_channel() is called to get channel number from center frequency. This is not needed since the channel number is already saved in hw_value field of struct ieee80211_channel in function iwlcore_init_geos(). So replace those function calls with hw_value field of struct ieee80211_channel.

It will not look standard-compliant in a sniffer because because it doesn't * sync TSF * adjust the TSF in beacons * send beacons at TBTT * cancel beacons when another phy sends However, it does allow testing the configuration and parts of the mac80211 code for IBSS and as such is still useful.

2010-08-24wireless: move documentation booksJohannes Berg
This moves mac80211 documentation into a new 802.11 bookset and also adds a cfg80211 book to the set.

2010-08-24p54: improve eeprom parserChristian Lamparter
Like other vendors, p54* devices have a checksum for the EEPROM descriptor data. This patch enhances the parser code to generate and verify the data fields, before initializing the radio-chip on the card. Note: If you have to bootstrap an alternative EEPROM image for your device and you don't know how to generate a valid crc ccitt checksum, you should take a look at: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/chr/p54tools.git The "checksum" utility loads a binary p54 EEPROM blob (use the -f switch, to skip the check) and applies the correct crc automatically.

2010-08-24ath5k: remove monitor check in receive_frame_ok filterBob Copeland
Monitor interfaces are never seen by the driver, so tests based on that opmode don't make sense. Also, we already pass all mic failure packets.

2010-08-24mac80211: remove unused don't-encrypt flagJohannes Berg
When MFP is disabled, action frames will not be encrypted since they are management frames and the only management frames that can then be encrypted are authentication frames.

2010-08-24cfg80211: mark ieee80211_hdrlen constJohannes Berg
This function analyses only its single, value-passed argument, and has no side effects. Thus it can be const, which makes mac80211 smaller, for example: text data bss dec hex filename 362518 16720 884 380122 5ccda mac80211.ko (before) 362358 16720 884 379962 5cc3a mac80211.ko (after) a 160 byte saving in text size, and an optimisation because the function won't be called as often.

2010-08-24xen: handle events as edge-triggeredJeremy Fitzhardinge
Xen events are logically edge triggered, as Xen only calls the event upcall when an event is newly set, but not continuously as it remains set. As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq. This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of events getting lost if: - an event's interrupt handler is running - the event is migrated to a different vcpu - the event is re-triggered The most noticable symptom of these lost events is occasional lockups of blkfront. Many thanks to Tom Kopec and Daniel Stodden in tracking this down.

2010-08-24xen: use percpu interrupts for IPIs and VIRQsJeremy Fitzhardinge
IPIs and VIRQs are inherently per-cpu event types, so treat them as such: - use a specific percpu irq_chip implementation, and - handle them with handle_percpu_irq This makes the path for delivering these interrupts more efficient (no masking/unmasking, no locks), and it avoid problems with attempts to migrate them.

2010-08-24workqueue: improve destroy_workqueue() debuggabilityTejun Heo
Now that the worklist is global, having works pending after wq destruction can easily lead to oops and destroy_workqueue() have several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON() doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final flush_workqueue(). This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins. If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue, WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue and keeps the system working in most cases. Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes modifying the field from destruction path. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
