| * iwlagn: fix RX skb alignmentJohannes Berg2008-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So I dug deeper into the DMA problems I had with iwlagn and a kind soul helped me in that he said something about pci-e alignment and mentioned the iwl_rx_allocate function to check for crossing 4KB boundaries. Since there's 8KB A-MPDU support, crossing 4k boundaries didn't seem like something the device would fail with, but when I looked into the function for a minute anyway I stumbled over this little gem: BUG_ON(rxb->dma_addr & (~DMA_BIT_MASK(36) & 0xff)); Clearly, that is a totally bogus check, one would hope the compiler removes it entirely. (Think about it) After fixing it, I obviously ran into it, nothing guarantees the alignment the way you want it, because of the way skbs and their headroom are allocated. I won't explain that here nor double-check that I'm right, that goes beyond what most of the CC'ed people care about. So then I came up with the patch below, and so far my system has survived minutes with 64K pages, when it would previously fail in seconds. And I haven't seen a single instance of the TX bug either. But when you see the patch it'll be pretty obvious to you why. This should fix the following reported kernel bugs: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11596 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11983 I haven't checked if there are any elsewhere, but I suppose RHBZ will have a few instances too... I'd like to ask anyone who is CC'ed (those are people I know ran into the bug) to try this patch. I am convinced that this patch is correct in spirit, but I haven't understood why, for example, there are so many unmap calls. I'm not entirely convinced that this is the only bug leading to the TX reply errors. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * mac80211: remove ieee80211_notify_macJohannes Berg2008-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset. Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good enough" suspend/resume. Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless. Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping functions within the critical section, and now because it's called by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl because it is flushed under rtnl. (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046) I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly. For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation, while the suspend operation must be done directly. Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is available and requested.

* | phylib: Fix auto-negotiation restart avoidanceTrent Piepho2008-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A previous patch, 51e2a3846eab18711f4eb59cd0a4c33054e2980a, made genphy_config_aneg() not restart aneg by calling genphy_restart_aneg() if the advertisement hadn't changed. But, genphy_restart_aneg() doesn't just restart aneg, it may also *enable* aneg or un-isolate the PHY from the MII (those functions are controlled by the same register). The code to avoid calling genphy_restart_aneg() didn't consider this. So, modify genphy_config_aneg() to also check if the PHY needs to have aneg enabled or be un-isolated before deciding not to restart aneg. This caused a problem with certain Davicom PHYs, as that driver isolates the PHY (why?) before calling genphy_config_aneg() and expects the PHY to be un-isolated by that function.

We found it on a couple of machines, including T61 notebook, nehalem machine, and another HPC NX6325 notebook. All the machines use FedoraCore 8 or FedoraCore 9. With kernel prior to 2.6.28-rc, system boot doesn't fail. I debug it and locate the root cause. Pls. see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11899 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471517 As a matter of fact, there are 2 bugs. 1)root=/dev/sda1, system boot randomly fails. Mostly, boot for 5 times and fails once. nash has a bug. Some of its functions misuse return value 0. Sometimes, 0 means timeout and no uevent available. Sometimes, 0 means nash gets an uevent, but the uevent isn't block-related (for exmaple, usb). If by coincidence, kernel tells nash that uevents are available, but kernel also set timeout, nash might stops collecting other uevents in queue if current uevent isn't block-related. I work out a patch for nash to fix it. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18858 2) root=LABEL=/, system always can't boot. initrd init reports switchroot fails. Here is an executation branch of nash when booting: (1) nash read /sys/block/sda/dev; Assume major is 8 (on my desktop) (2) nash query /proc/devices with the major number; It found line "8 sd"; (3) nash use 'sd' to search its own probe table to find device (DISK) type for the device and add it to its own list; (4) Later on, it probes all devices in its list to get filesystem labels; scsi register "8 sd" always. When major is 259, nash fails to find the device(DISK) type. I enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y when compiling kernel, so 259 is picked up for device /dev/sda1, which causes nash to fail to find device (DISK) type. To fixing issue 2), I create a patch for nash and another patch for kernel. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18859 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18837 Below is the patch for kernel 2.6.28-rc4. It registers blkext, a new block device in proc/devices. With 2 patches on nash and 1 patch on kernel, I boot my machines for dozens of times without failure.

So we can't see this function printing. So, every time the last function to fill the read buffer, if overflowed, will be dropped. This also applies to set_ftrace_filter if set_ftrace_filter has more bytes than read buffer. fix: Through checking return value of seq_printf, if less than 0, we know this function doesn't be printed. Then we decrease position to force this function to be printed next time, in next read buffer. Another little fix is to show correct allocating pages count.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the ring buffers called: tracing_on() tracing_off() When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record into their buffers. tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again. These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called. A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called tracing_on This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch. echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on disables the tracing. echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on enables it. Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers. The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled. There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers: tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers. buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled. cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if an anomaly occurred. The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel called tracing_stop(). Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it. It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit. tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace can reenable it at any time. Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

Thanks to Roland for pointing out this. Somehow I missed this simple fact when I read the original patch, and I am afraid I confused Frank during the discussion. Sorry. Fortunately, these helpers work with current, we can check ->exit_state to ensure that ->signal can't go away under us. Also, add the comment and compiler barrier to account_group_exec_runtime(), to make sure we load ->signal only once.

But currently, swiotlb uses dev->dma_mask in alloc_coherent() implicitly via address_needs_mapping(), but alloc_coherent is really supposed to use coherent_dma_mask. This bug could break drivers that uses smaller coherent_dma_mask than dma_mask (though the current code works for the majority that use the same mask for coherent_dma_mask and dma_mask).
