2009-09-29ar9170: fix bug in iq-auto calibration value calculationChristian Lamparter
This patch fixes a embarrassing bug which was introduced by: "[PATCH] ar9170: implement frequency calibration for one-stage/openfw" The phy_data variable initialization has to done outside the for-loop scope. This is because the for-loop uses u32 phy_data variable more like a 4-byte field. But in each run only a single byte is calculated. Therefore phy_data content needs to stay the same for at least 3 more iterations, before the complete set can be uploaded.

2009-09-29mac80211_hwsim: Fix initial beacon timer configurationJouni Malinen
mac80211_hwsim does not start transmitting Beacon frames when hostapd is started for the first time and restarting hostapd fixes this. The issue is caused by the config() handler not being able to start beacon_timer when beacon interval is not yet known and bss_info_changed() handler not starting the timer. This can be fixed by making the bss_info_changed() update the timer. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-09-29mac80211: Fix [re]association power saving issue on AP sideIgor Perminov
Consider the following step-by step: 1. A STA authenticates and associates with the AP and exchanges traffic. 2. The STA reports to the AP that it is going to PS state. 3. Some time later the STA device goes to the stand-by mode (not only its wi-fi card, but the device itself) and drops the association state without sending a disassociation frame. 4. The STA device wakes up and begins authentication with an Auth frame as it hasn't been authenticated/associated previously. At the step 4 the AP "remembers" the STA and considers it is still in the PS state, so the AP buffers frames, which it has to send to the STA. But the STA isn't actually in the PS state and so it neither checks TIM bits nor reports to the AP that it isn't power saving. Because of that authentication/[re]association fails. To fix authentication/[re]association stage of this issue, Auth, Assoc Resp and Reassoc Resp frames are transmitted disregarding of STA's power saving state. N.B. This patch doesn't fix further data frame exchange after authentication/[re]association. A patch in hostapd is required to fix that.

2009-09-29nilfs2: fix missing zero-fill initialization of btree node cacheRyusuke Konishi
This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after mount. The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID: <200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth. I've also experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31. The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything. Usually this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the corruption. I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the root cause. This corrects the bug. I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.

2009-09-29percpu: make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() failures more verboseTejun Heo
The parameters to pcpu_setup_first_chunk() come from different sources depending on architecture and can be quite complex. The function runs various sanity checks on the parameters and triggers BUG() if something isn't right. However, this is very early during the boot and not reporting exactly what the problem is makes debugging even harder. Add PCPU_SETUP_BUG() macro which prints out enough information about the parameters. As the macro still puts separate BUG() for each check, it won't lose any information even on the situations where only the program counter can be retrieved. While at it, also bump pcpu_dump_alloc_info() message to KERN_INFO so that it's visible on the console if boot fails to complete. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-09-29percpu: make embedding first chunk allocator check vmalloc space sizeTejun Heo
Embedding first chunk allocator maintains the distances between units in the vmalloc area and thus needs vmalloc space to be larger than the maximum distances between units; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to create any dynamic chunks. This patch makes the embedding first chunk allocator check vmalloc space size and if the maximum distance between units is larger than 75% of it, print warning and, if page mapping allocator is available, fail initialization so that the system falls back onto it. This should work around percpu allocation failure problems on certain sparc64 configurations where distances between NUMA nodes are larger than the vmalloc area and makes percpu allocator more robust for future configurations.

2009-09-29sparc64: implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocatorTejun Heo
Implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback to the embedding allocator. The next patch will make the embedding allocator check distances between units to determine whether it fits within the vmalloc area so that this fallback can be used on such cases. sparc64 currently has relatively small vmalloc area which makes it impossible to create any dynamic chunks on certain configurations leading to percpu allocation failures. This and the next patch should allow those configurations to keep working until proper solution is found. While at it, mark pcpu_cpu_distance() with __init.

2009-09-29PM / yenta: Fix cardbus suspend/resume regressionRafael J. Wysocki
Since 2.6.29 the PCI PM core have been restoring the standard configuration registers of PCI devices in the early phase of resume. In particular, PCI devices without drivers have been handled this way since commit 355a72d75b3b4f4877db4c9070c798238028ecb5 (PCI: Rework default handling of suspend and resume). Unfortunately, this leads to post-resume problems with CardBus devices which cannot be accessed in the early phase of resume, because the sockets they are on have not been woken up yet at that point. To solve this problem, move the yenta socket resume to the early phase of resume and, analogously, move the suspend of it to the late phase of suspend. Additionally, remove some unnecessary PCI code from the yenta socket's resume routine. Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13092, which is a post-2.6.28 regression.

2009-09-28iwlwifi: fix 3945 ucode info retrieval after failureReinette Chatre
When hardware or uCode problem occurs driver captures significant information from device to enable debugging. The format of this information is different between 3945 and 4965 and later devices, yet currently the 3945 uses the 4965 and later format. Fix this by adding a new library call that is initialized to the correct formatting routine based on device. This moves the iwlagn event and error log handling back to iwl-agn.c to make it part of iwlagn module. Also remove the 3945 sysfs file that triggers dump of event log - there is already a debugfs file that can do it for all drivers.

2009-09-28iwlwifi: fix debugfs buffer handlingReinette Chatre
We keep track of where to write into a buffer by keeping a count of how much has been written so far. When writing to the buffer we thus take the buffer pointer and adding the count of what has been written so far. Keeping track of what has been written so far is done by incrementing this number every time something is written to the buffer with how much has been written at that time. Currently this number is incremented incorrectly when using the "hex_dump_to_buffer" call to add data to the buffer. Fix this by only adding what has been added to the buffer in that call instead of what has been added since beginning of buffer. Issue was discovered and discussed during testing of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464598 .
