| * [PATCH] ieee80211_geo.c: remove frivolous BUG_ON'sPete Zaitcev2006-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have come to consider BUG_ON generally harmful. The idea of an assert is to prevent a program to execute past a point where its state is known erroneous, thus preventing it from dealing more damage to the data (or hiding the traces of malfunction). The problem is, in kernel this harm has to be balanced against the harm of forced reboot. The last straw was our softmac tree, where "iwlist eth1 scan" causes a lockup. It is absolutely frivolus and provides no advantages a normal assert has to provide. In fact, doing this impedes debugging. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * [PATCH] wireless/airo: Remove 'Setting transmit key' info messagesDan Williams2006-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These messages end up polluting logs when things like NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant are controlling the driver. They aren't really that useful, and no other drivers output messages like this when the user fiddles with encryption keys. Users can use iwconfig and other wireless-tools methods to determine and change the current transmit key if they wish to do so manually. Therefore, remove the messages.

The method used to implement this has since been commented upon as "illegal" and in recent kernels even causes a BUG when receiving ip fragments while using jumbo frames. This patch simply goes back to the way things were. We expect some complaints due to order 3 allocations failing to come back due to this change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RedBoot boot loader writes flash partition tables containing native byte sex 32 bit values. When booting an opposite byte sex kernel (e.g. an LE kernel from BE RedBoot) the current MTD driver fails to handle the partition table and therefore is unable to generate the correct partition map for the flash. So far as I am aware this problem is ARM specific, because only ARM supports software change of the CPU (memory system) byte sex, however the partition table parsing is in generic MTD code. The patch below has been tested on NSLU2 (an IXP4XX based system) with a patch, 10-ixp4xx-copy-from.patch (submitted to linux-arm-kernel - it's ARM specific) required to make the maps/ixp4xx.c driver work with an LE kernel. Builds of the patched system are in the 'unstable' release of OpenSlug and UcSlugC available from www.nslu2-linux.org. These builds are BE, the archives at www.nslu2-linux.org and www.handhelds.org (see monotone.vanille.de) can be built LE (currently DISTRO targets nslu-ltu.conf for LE thumb uclibc (32 bit kernel) and nslu2-lau.conf, nslu2-lag.conf for LE arm uclibc/glibc) and this patch has been tested extensively will both BE and LE systems on the NSLU2 (including swapping between BE and LE by reflashing from both RedBoot and Linux). The patch recognises that the FIS directory (the partition table) is byte-reversed by examining the partition table size, which is known to be one erase block (this is an assumption made elsewhere in redboot.c). If the size matches the erase block after byte swapping the value then byte-reversal is assumed, if not no further action is taken. The patched code is fail safe; should redboot.c be changed to support a partition table with a modified size field the test will fail and the partition table will be assumed to have the host byte sex. If byte-reversal is detected the patch byte swaps the remainder of the 32 bit fields in the copy of the table; this copy is then used to set up the MTD partition map.

The above would only happen if the 'negative_timeout=N' option was used, otherwise lookups reply -ENOENT, which worked correctly.
