* ath9k: disable MIB interrupts to fix interrupt stormLuis R. Rodriguez2008-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enabling the MIB interrupts has proven to cause an interrupt storm after 7 hours of run. We will make use of the MIB interrupt once we have ANI supported added so for now to cure this we disable the interrupt. The interrupt storm can be seen as follows after 7 hours of run as reported by Steven Noonan <steven@uplinklabs.net>: 18:28:38 sum 1106.00 18:28:39 sum 1037.62 18:28:40 sum 1069.00 18:28:41 sum 1167.00 18:28:42 sum 1155.00 18:28:43 sum 1339.00 18:28:44 sum 18355.00 18:28:45 sum 17845.45 18:28:46 sum 15285.00 18:28:47 sum 17511.00 18:28:48 sum 17568.69 18:28:49 sum 17704.04 18:28:50 sum 18566.67 18:28:51 sum 18913.13 at 18:28:44 the MIB interrupt kicked off and caused huge latency which can be seen even on a video he submitted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GeCx1gZMpA Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Connectivtiy is lost after Group rekeying is done. The keytype maintained by ath9k is reset when group key is updated. Though sc_keytype can be reset only for broadcast key the proper fix would be to use mac80211 provided key type from txinfo during xmit and get rid of sc_keytype from ath9k ath_softc.

| * | bnx2: Promote vector field in bnx2_irq structure from u16 to unsigned intBenjamin Li2008-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bnx2 driver stores/uses the irq value from the pci_dev internally. But when it stores the irq value, it has been performing an integer demotion. Because of the recent changes made to arch/x86/kernel/io_apic.c, the new method in creating the irq value (using build_irq_for_pci_dev()) has exposed this bug on x86 systems. Because of this demotion when calling request_irq() from bnx2_request_irq(), the driver would get a return code of -EINVAL. This is because the kernel could not find the requested irq descriptor. By storing the irq value properly, the kernel can find the correct irq descriptor and the bnx2 driver can operate normally.

| * | | iwlwifi: W/A for the TSF correction in IBSSAssaf Krauss2008-09-03
| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

| * | ath9: Fix ath_rx_flush_tid() for IRQs disabled kernel warning message.Senthil Balasubramanian2008-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid() uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211. As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the kernel warning message.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multicasting the driver sets the number of group addresses using the count from the previous set multicast command. In general this means you have to set the multicast addresses twice to get the behaviour you want. If we were multicasting, and reduce the number of addresses we are multicasting to, then the driver would write uninitialised data from the stack into the group addresses to multicast to. Only write the multicast addresses we have specifically set. Signed-off-by: David Kilroy <kilroyd@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
