| * | wimax/i2400m: fix reboot echo/ack barker deadlockInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The i2400m based devices can get in a sort of a deadlock some times; when they boot, they send a reboot "barker" (a magic number) and then the driver has to echo that same barker to ack reception (echo/ack). Then the device does a final ack by sending an ACK barker. The first time this happens, we don't know ahead of time with barker the device is going to send, as different device models and SKUs will send different barker depending on the EEPROM programming. If the device has sent the barker before the driver has been able to read it, the driver looses, as it doesn't know which barker it has to echo/ack back. With older devices, we tried a couple of combinations and that always worked; but now, with adding support for more, in which we have an unlimited number of new barkers, that is not an option. So we rework said case so that when the device gets stuck, we just cycle through all the known types until one forces the device to send an ack. Otherwise, the driver gives up and aborts.

| * | wimax/i2400m: decide properly if using signed vs non-signed firmware loadingInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The i2400m based devices can boot two main types of firmware images: signed and non-signed. Signed images have signature data included that must match that of a certificate stored in the device. Currently the code is making the decission on what type of firmware load (signed vs non-signed) is going to be loaded based on a hardcoded decission in __i2400m_ack_verify(), based on the barker the device sent upon boot. This is not flexible enough as future hardware will emit more barkers; thus the bit has to be set in a place where there is better knowledge of what is going on. This will be done in follow-up commits -- however this patch paves the way for it. So the querying of the mode is packed into i2400m_boot_is_signed(); the main changes are just using i2400m_boot_is_signed() to determine the method to follow and setting i2400m->sboot in i2400m_is_boot_barker(). The modifications in i2400m_dnload_init() and i2400m_dnload_finalize() are just reorganizing the order of the if blocks and thus look larger than they really are.

| * | wimax: allow specifying debug levels as command line optionInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "debug" module options to all the wimax modules (including drivers) so that the debug levels can be set upon kernel boot or module load time. This is needed as currently there was a limitation where the debug levels could only be set when a device was succesfully enumerated. This made it difficult to debug issues that made a device not probe properly. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

Turning it off is desirable as it saves power. By default, the 50610 enables the RXC reference clock and the 50610M disables it. Presumably this is one of the reasons why the hardware architect chose one over the other. Adding a "rx reference clock disable" flag is not the ideal way to describe the option, as it would force the MAC using a 50610M to set the flag. Ideally we want the flags to represent opt-in behavior that deviates from hardware defaults. Furthermore, the lack of a "disable" flag implies that the requester wants the rx reference clock enabled, which doesn't necessarily follow. By presenting the option as a passive statement (rx reference clock unused) rather than a command, I hope to convey an opt-in option to disable the rx reference clock that falls back to hardware defaults if not set. A secondary benefit of this is that it keeps the intelligence about phy defaults in the broadcom module where it belongs and allows the broadcom module more latitude should a bug arise.

* | inet: rename some inet_sock fieldsEric Dumazet2009-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch. Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt to a separate cache line (only written by rx path) This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr, sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | can: make the number of echo skb's configurableWolfgang Grandegger2009-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows the CAN controller driver to define the number of echo skb's used for the local loopback (echo), as suggested by Kurt Van Dijck, with the function: struct net_device *alloc_candev(int sizeof_priv, unsigned int echo_skb_max); The CAN drivers have been adapted accordingly. For the ems_usb driver, as suggested by Sebastian Haas, the number of echo skb's has been increased to 10, which improves the transmission performance a lot.

* | net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscallArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and net stack entry/exit operations. Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation. This takes into account comments made by: . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram, sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest. . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that works in the same fashion as the ppoll one. If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB one) it has received so far. . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it in the next call. This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg, where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at every underlying recvmsg call.
