bebb8a5e2c mac80211: make debugfs files root-only
Unfortunately, debugfs can be made to access invalid memory by
open()ing a file and then waiting until the corresponding debugfs
file has been removed (and, probably, the underlying object.)

That could be exploited by any user if the user is able to open
debugfs files and can cause networking devices, STA entries or
similar to disappear which is quite easy to do.

Hence, all debugfs files should be root-only.

the device needs to be programmed with this information.
Give the driver chance to make the changes before notifying the

Now rt2x00lib handles the initial configure_filter() command, we can
directly call lib->config_filter() in scheduled context since the
called function will no longer check if anything has changed (which is

This fixes a endless loop with USB drivers where the config_filter
command was scheduled time and time again without sending any command

49ec6fa220 mac80211: fix possible sta-debugfs work lockup
Because we queue the sta-debugfs-adding work on our mac80211
workqueue (which needs to be flushed under RTNL) and that work
needs the RTNL, it can currently deadlock, thanks to Reinette
Chatre for pointing out the lockdep warning about this.

This patch fixes it by moving this work to the common kernel
workqueue (using schedule_work) and canceling it as appropriate.

It also fixes a related problem: When a STA is pinned by the
debugfs adding work and sta_info_flush() runs concurrently
it is not guaranteed that all STAs are removed from the driver
before the corresponding interface is removed which may lead
to bugs.

2aee82de52 wavelan_cs: stop inlining largish static functions
Hi John,

Can you please take a look at this patch?

drivers/net/wireless/wavelan_cs.c has unusually large number
of static inline functions - 27.

I looked through them and 20 of them do not seem to warrant inlining.
Some are really big; others call mdelay(1) or busy-wait for a bit
to be set in a hardware register - it's pointless
to optimize such functions for speed.

This patch removes "inline" from these static function
(regardless of number of callsites - gcc nowadays auto-inlines
statics with one callsite).

Size difference for 32bit x86:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

5100d5ac81 b43: Add PIO support for PCMCIA devices
This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices.
This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work
and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine.
On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX.
So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster
than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that).

The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100%
CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption
point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt.

PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with
the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all
PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't).

2473670163 Revert "mac80211: use a struct for bss->mesh_config"
This reverts commit 6c4711b469.

That patch breaks mesh config comparison between beacons/probe reponses, so
every beacon from a mesh network would be added as a new bss. Since the
comparison has to be performed for every received beacon I believe it is best to
save the mesh config in a format easy to compare, rather than do a bunch of
unaligned accesses to compare field by field.

6adb4f733e [TCP]: Don't allow FRTO to take place while MTU is being probed
MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal
packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong
decision (it might not be that serious threat for anything
though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is
underway.

It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an
skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one
but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check
isn't robust against wraparounds).

882bebaaca [TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L
This fixes Bugzilla #10384

tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.

The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.

More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.

So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7 ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

c137f3dda0 [TCP]: Fix NewReno's fast rexmit/recovery problems with GSOed skb
Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.

It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.

Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.

Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.

In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

1b69d74539 [TCP]: Restore 2.6.24 mark_head_lost behavior for newreno/fack
The fast retransmission can be forced locally to the rfc3517
branch in tcp_update_scoreboard instead of making such fragile
constructs deeper in tcp_mark_head_lost.

This is necessary for the next patch which must not have
loopholes for cnt > packets check. As one can notice,
readability got some improvements too because of this :-).
