2013-09-26ath10k: align RX frames properlyMichal Kazior
Ethernet-like decapping mode leaves IP protocol frame not aligned to 4-byte boundaries. This leads to re-aligning in mac80211 which in turn leads to poor CPU cache behaviour on some machines. Since HW doesn't allow to change payload offset properly the solution is to force HW to decap in Native Wifi mode which always has 24-bytes long 802.11 header (even for QoS frames). This means IP frame is properly aligned in this decap mode. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

2013-09-25Bluetooth: Add new mgmt_set_advertising commandJohan Hedberg
This patch adds a new mgmt command for enabling and disabling LE advertising. The command depends on the LE setting being enabled first and will return a "rejected" response otherwise. The patch also adds safeguards so that there will ever only be one set_le or set_advertising command pending per adapter. The response handling and new_settings event sending is done in an asynchronous request callback, meaning raw HCI access from user space to enable advertising (e.g. hciconfig leadv) will not trigger the new_settings event. This is intentional since trying to support mixed raw HCI and mgmt access would mean adding extra state tracking or new helper functions, essentially negating the benefit of using the asynchronous request framework. The HCI_LE_ENABLED and HCI_LE_PERIPHERAL flags however are updated correctly even with raw HCI access so this will not completely break subsequent access over mgmt.

2013-09-25Bluetooth: Add new mgmt setting for LE advertisingJohan Hedberg
This patch adds a new mgmt setting for LE advertising and hooks up the necessary places in the mgmt code to operate on the HCI_LE_PERIPHERAL flag (which corresponds to this setting). This patch does not yet add any new command for enabling the setting - that is left for a subsequent patch.

2013-09-25Bluetooth: Use async request for LE enable/disableJohan Hedberg
This patch updates the code to use an asynchronous request for handling the enabling and disabling of LE support. This refactoring is necessary as a preparation for adding advertising support, since when LE is disabled we should also disable advertising, and the cleanest way to do this is to perform the two respective HCI commands in the same asynchronous request.

2013-09-25Bluetooth: Move mgmt response convenience functions to a better locationJohan Hedberg
The settings_rsp and cmd_status_rsp functions can be useful for all mgmt command handlers when asynchronous request callbacks are used. They will e.g. be used by subsequent patches to change set_le to use an async request as well as a new set_advertising command. Therefore, move them higher up in the mgmt.c file to avoid unnecessary forward declarations or mixing this trivial change with other patches.

Previously when powering on while the auto off timer was still set the code could have let two or more pending power on commands to be queued.

2013-09-20Bluetooth: don't release the port in rfcomm_dev_state_change()Gianluca Anzolin
When the dlc is closed, rfcomm_dev_state_change() tries to release the port in the case it cannot get a reference to the tty. However this is racy and not even needed. Infact as Peter Hurley points out: 1. Only consider dlcs that are 'stolen' from a connected socket, ie. reused. Allocated dlcs cannot have been closed prior to port activate and so for these dlcs a tty reference will always be avail in rfcomm_dev_state_change() -- except for the conditions covered by #2b below. 2. If a tty was at some point previously created for this rfcomm, then either (a) the tty reference is still avail, so rfcomm_dev_state_change() will perform a hangup. So nothing to do, or, (b) the tty reference is no longer avail, and the tty_port will be destroyed by the last tty_port_put() in rfcomm_tty_cleanup. Again, no action required. 3. Prior to obtaining the dlc lock in rfcomm_dev_add(), rfcomm_dev_state_change() will not 'see' a rfcomm_dev so nothing to do here. 4. After releasing the dlc lock in rfcomm_dev_add(), rfcomm_dev_state_change() will 'see' an incomplete rfcomm_dev if a tty reference could not be obtained. Again, the best thing to do here is nothing. Any future attempted open() will block on rfcomm_dev_carrier_raised(). The unconnected device will exist until released by ioctl(RFCOMMRELEASEDEV). The patch removes the aforementioned code and uses the tty_port_tty_hangup() helper to hangup the tty.

2013-09-19netconsole: fix a deadlock with rtnl and netconsole's mutexNikolay Aleksandrov
This bug was introduced by commit 7a163bfb7ce50895bbe67300ea610d31b9c09230 ("netconsole: avoid a crash with multiple sysfs writers"). In store_enabled() we have the following sequence: acquire nt->mutex then rtnl, but in the netconsole netdev notifier we have rtnl then nt->mutex effectively leading to a deadlock. The NULL pointer dereference that the above commit tries to fix is actually due to another bug in netpoll_cleanup(). This is fixed by dropping the mutex from the netdev notifier as it's already protected by rtnl. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
