* iwlwifi: fix locking assertionsJohannes Berg2010-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | spin_is_locked() can return zero on some (UP?) configurations because locks don't exist, and that causes an endless amount of warnings. Use lockdep_assert_held() instead, which has two advantages: 1) it verifies the current task is holding the lock or mutex 2) it compiles away completely when lockdep is not enabled Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.34+, maybe only parts of patch] Reported-by: Thomas Meyer <thomas@m3y3r.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* iwlwifi: fix scan abortStanislaw Gruszka2010-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix possible double priv->mutex lock introduced by commit a69b03e941abae00380fc6bc1877fb797a1b31e6 "iwlwifi: cancel scan watchdog in iwl_bg_abort_scan" . We can not call cancel_delayed_work_sync(&priv->scan_check) with priv->mutex locked because workqueue function iwl_bg_scan_check() take that lock internally. We do not need to synchronize when canceling priv->scan_check work. We can avoid races (sending double abort command or send no command at all) using STATUS_SCAN_ABORT bit. Moreover current iwl_bg_scan_check() code seems to be broken, as we should not send abort commands when currently aborting.

* iwlwifi: fix internal scan raceReinette Chatre2010-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible for internal scan to race against itself if the device is not returning the scan results from first requests. What happens in this case is the cleanup done during the abort of the first internal scan also cleans up part of the new scan, causing it to access memory it shouldn't. Here are details: * First internal scan is triggered and scan command sent to device. * After seven seconds there is no scan results so the watchdog timer triggers a scan abort. * The scan abort succeeds and a SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION is received for failed scan. * During processing of SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION we clear STATUS_SCANNING and queue the "scan_completed" work. ** At this time, since the problem that caused the internal scan in first place is still present, a new internal scan is triggered. The behavior at this point is a bit different between 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 since 2.6.35 has a lot of this synchronized. The rest of the race description will thus be generalized. ** As part of preparing for the scan "is_internal_short_scan" is set to true. * At this point the completion work for fist scan is run. As part of this there is some locking missing around the "is_internal_short_scan" variable and it is set to "false". ** Now the second scan runs and it considers itself a real (not internal0 scan and thus causes problems with wrong memory being accessed. The fix is twofold. * Since "is_internal_short_scan" should be protected by mutex, fix this in scan completion work so that changes to it can be serialized. * Do not queue a new internal scan if one is in progress.

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* iwlwifi: fix scan raceReinette Chatre2010-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a problem if an "internal short scan" is in progress when a mac80211 requested scan arrives. If this new scan request arrives within the "next_scan_jiffies" period then driver will immediately return success and complete the scan. The problem here is that the scan has not been fully initialized at this time (is_internal_short_scan is still set to true because of the currently running scan), which results in the scan completion never to be sent to mac80211. At this time also, evan though the internal short scan is still running the state (is_internal_short_scan) will be set to false, so when the internal scan does complete then mac80211 will receive a scan completion. Fix this by checking right away if a scan is in progress when a scan request arrives from mac80211. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>

The intent of this function is to reset/re-tune the radio and bring the RF/PHY back to normal state, it does not make sense calling it too frequent, if reset the radio can not bring it back to normal state, it indicate there are other reason to cause the radio not operate correctly.

* iwlwifi: Fix A band scanning when associatedHenry Zhangh2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows A band to be scanned when driver is associated to AP. Scan mechanism is that mac80211/cfg80211 requests driver to scan G band first and then immediately to scan A band. Original code require driver to wait for 2 seconds after any scan before another scan will be performed. This caused driver to service G band scan request from mac80211/cfg80211 but deny the A band scan request.

* iwlwifi: add function to reset/tune radio if neededWey-Yi Guy2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding "radio reset" function to help reset and stabilize the radio. During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is no RF reset command available, but since radio will get reset when switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio reset and get back to normal operation state. The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is not in associated state. Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the internal scan from user mode.

* iwlwifi: allocated rx page accounting cleanupZhu Yi2009-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | In iwlwifi, priv->alloc_rxb_page is used to keep track of the Rx pages allocated by the driver. This cleans up the page free routines by introducing __iwl_free_pages/iwl_free_pages so that the accounting is more accurate and less error prone. This also fixes two instances where the counter was not updated. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | Since iwlagn is the only user of these functions, move it to this module. This results in a bit more code moving than just these functions since the functions only used by them are also moved and we need to export the symbols previously available to them directly.

* iwlwifi: use paged RxZhu Yi2009-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data, alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required. It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy (which cannot be called in hard irq context). Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames, we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211 to handle them properly. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
