* [PATCH] softmac: report when scanning has finishedJohannes Berg2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | Make softmac report a scan event when scanning has finished, that way userspace can wait for the event to happen instead of polling for the results. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* [PATCH] softmac: fix event sendingJohannes Berg2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | Softmac is sending custom events to userspace already, but it should _really_ be sending the right WEXT events instead. This patch fixes that.

* [PATCH] softmac: fix spinlock recursion on reassocMichael Buesch2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a spinlock recursion on receiving a reassoc request. On reassoc, the softmac calls back into the driver. This results in a driver lock recursion. This schedules the assoc workqueue, instead of calling it directly. Probably, we should defer the _whole_ management frame processing to a tasklet or workqueue, because it does several callbacks into the driver. That is dangerous. This fix should go into linus's tree, before 2.6.17 is released, because it is remote exploitable (DoS by crash). Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* [PATCH] Revert NET_RADIO Kconfig title changeJean Tourrilhes2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.17-rc1 changed the title for the entry CONFIG_NET_RADIO. I personally disagree with this change and want it reverted. Patch for 2.6.17-rc1. Rationale : WIRELESS_EXT is an invisible option. Therefore, the only way for a user to enable it is via NET_RADIO. Some users need to do that for out-of-tree drivers. Therefore it should be mentionned in the title of the option. Rationale2 : the option just below is called "Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink". Some users may confuse this option for the main "Wireless Extension" option. Therefore reverting this change help disambiguate the relation between those two options.

* [PATCH] wireless/airo: clean up WEXT association and scan eventsDan Williams2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Airo firmware versions >= 5.30.17 send re-association events to the driver that are currently unrecognized, causing spurious disassociation events to be sent to user space. Loss of sync due to scan requests also results in disassociation events sent to user space. This patch traps those two events; suppressing sync-loss on scan, and sending the correct association event on re-association notifications.

* | [PATCH] apm: fix Armada laptops againSamuel Thibault2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the "apm: set display: Interface not engaged" error on Armada laptops again. Jordan said: I think this is fine. It seems to me that this may be the fault of one or both of the APM solutions handling this situation in a non-standard way, but since APM is used very little on the Geode, and I have direct access to our BIOS folks, if this problem comes up with a customer again, we'll solve it from the firmware.

* | [PATCH] Kconfig.debug: Set DEBUG_MUTEX to off by defaultTim Chen2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DEBUG_MUTEX flag is on by default in current kernel configuration. During performance testing, we saw mutex debug functions like mutex_debug_check_no_locks_freed (called by kfree()) is expensive as it goes through a global list of memory areas with mutex lock and do the checking. For benchmarks such as Volanomark and Hackbench, we have seen more than 40% drop in performance on some platforms. We suggest to set DEBUG_MUTEX off by default. Or at least do that later when we feel that the mutex changes in the current code have stabilized.

* | [PATCH] Fix file lookup without refDipankar Sarma2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and access the file structure without holding refereces to the file. So, we need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd table and tearing down of the file in another CPU. Otherwise, one might see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file. This patch fixes those special places where such a race may happen.

* | [PATCH] uml: add missing __volatile__Jeff Dike2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were missing __volatile__ on some bits of asm in the segfault handlers. On x86_64, this was messing up the move from %rdx to uc because that was moved to after the GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC, which changed %rdx. Also changed the other bit of asm and the one in the i386 handler to prevent any similar occurrences.

* | [PATCH] uml: physical memory map file fixesRob Landley2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UML really wants shared memory semantics form its physical memory map file, and the place for that is /dev/shm. So move the default, and fix the error messages to recognize that this value can be overridden.
