* i2c-nforce2: Add support for MCP67, MCP73, MCP78S and MCP79Jean Delvare2009-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | The MCP78S and MCP79 appear to be compatible with the previous nForce chips as far as the SMBus controller is concerned. The MCP67 and MCP73 were not tested yet but I'd be very surprised if they weren't compatible too.

| * nl80211: Remove NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IEJouni Malinen2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The functionality that NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE provided can now be achieved with cleaner design by adding IE(s) into NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN, NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE, NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE, NL80211_CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE, and NL80211_CMD_DISASSOCIATE. Since this is a very recently added command and there are no known (or known planned) applications using NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE and taken into account how much extra complexity it adds to the IE processing we have now (and need to add in the future to fix IE order in couple of frames), it looks like the best option is to just remove the implementation of this command for now. The enum values themselves are left to avoid changing the nl80211 command or attribute numbers. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SMEJouni Malinen2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme") for informing user space about received and processed Authentication, (Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11 management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it includes all the needed information. This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the SME. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

An example policy is to deny write permission by default but grant write permission to files of AV/C video and audio devices and IIDC video devices. The FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR ioctl could be used to partly subvert such a policy: Find a device file with relaxed permissions, use the ioctl to add a descriptor with AV/C marker to the local node's ROM, thus gain access to the local node's character device file. (This is only possible if there are udev scripts installed which actively relax permissions for known device types and if there is a device of such a type connected.) Accessibility of the local node's device file is relevant to host security if the host contains two or more IEEE 1394 link layer controllers which are plugged into a single bus. Therefore change the ABI to deny FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR if the file belongs to a remote node. (This change has no impact on known implementers of the ABI: None of them uses the ioctl yet.) Also clarify the documentation: The ioctl affects all local nodes, not just one local node. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

A simplification: - fw_cdev_allocate_iso_resource.channels is now ordered like libdc1394's dc1394_iso_allocate_channel() channels_allowed argument. By the way, I looked closer at cards from NEC, TI, and VIA, and noticed that they all don't implement IEEE 1394a behaviour which is meant to deviate from IEEE 1212's notion of lock compare-swap. This means that we have to do two lock transactions instead of one in many cases where one transaction would already succeed on a fully 1394a compliant IRM.

All existing client implementations, libraw1394 and libdc1394, set header_size = 4. And since the ABI v1 behaviour does not offer any advantages over the new behaviour, we deliberately do not provide the old behaviour anymore. Also add documentation about the format of fw_cdev_get_cycle_timer which may be used in conjunction with the timestamp of iso packets but has a different format.

In case of 1394a bus topologies, the maximum possible speed could be figured out with some effort by evaluation of the remote node's link speed field in the config ROM, the local node's link speed field, and the PHY speeds and topologic information in the local node's or IRM's topology map CSR. However, this does not work in case of 1394b buses. Hence add an ioctl to export the maximum speed which the kernel already determined. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Only the part of the ABI which enables auto-reallocation and auto-deallocation is included here. This implements ioctls for kernel-assisted allocation of isochronous channels and isochronous bandwidth. The benefits are: - The client does not have to have write access to the /dev/fw* device corresponding to the IRM. - The client does not have to perform reallocation after bus resets. - Channel and bandwidth are deallocated by the kernel if the file is closed before the client deallocated the resources. Thus resources are released even if the client crashes. It is anticipated that future in-kernel code (firewire-core IRM code; the firewire port of firedtv), will use the fw-iso.c portions of this code too.

| |/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but currently only x86 and mips provide one. Add a generic compat_sys_ustat and switch all architectures over to it. Instead of doing various user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as it's trivial. This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann. Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of data writen by the syscall.

| | | | | * | SLUB: Do not pass 8k objects through to the page allocatorPekka Enberg2009-02-20

The network stack uses 8k objects for performance critical operations. The patch is motivated by a SLAB vs. SLUB regression in the netperf benchmark. The problem is that the kfree(skb->head) call in skb_release_data() that is subject to page allocator pass-through as the size passed to __alloc_skb() is larger than 4 KB in this test. As explained by Yanmin Zhang: I use 2.6.29-rc2 kernel to run netperf UDP-U-4k CPU_NUM client/server pair loopback testing on x86-64 machines. Comparing with SLUB, SLAB's result is about 2.3 times of SLUB's. After applying the reverting patch, the result difference between SLUB and SLAB becomes 1% which we might consider as fluctuation.

This allows the removal of some BKL usage and fixes a number of longstanding (if microscopic) races.
