2008-07-08netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction.David S. Miller14-29/+74
A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc. Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely contains a backpointer to the net_device. The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well. Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the resulting hierarchy: net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue pointer argument.

2008-07-08vlan: avoid header copying and linearisation where possiblePatrick McHardy2-44/+8
- vlan_dev_reorder_header() is only called on the receive path after calling skb_share_check(). This means we can use skb_cow() since all we need is a writable header. - vlan_dev_hard_header() includes a work-around for some apparently broken out of tree MPLS code. The hard_header functions can expect to always have a headroom of at least there own hard_header_len available, so the reallocation check is unnecessary. - __vlan_put_tag() can use skb_cow_head() to avoid the skb_unshare() copy when the header is writable.

2008-07-08ipv6: fix race between ipv6_del_addr and DAD timerAndrey Vagin1-2/+2
Consider the following scenario: ipv6_del_addr(ifp) ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_DELADDR, ifp) ip6_del_rt(ifp->rt) after returning from the ipv6_ifa_notify and enabling BH-s back, but *before* calling the addrconf_del_timer the ifp->timer fires and: addrconf_dad_timer(ifp) addrconf_dad_completed(ifp) ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_NEWADDR, ifp) ip6_ins_rt(ifp->rt) then return back to the ipv6_del_addr and: in6_ifa_put(ifp) inet6_ifa_finish_destroy(ifp) dst_release(&ifp->rt->u.dst) After this we have an ifp->rt inserted into fib6 lists, but queued for gc, which in turn can result in oopses in the fib6_run_gc. Maybe some other nasty things, but we caught only the oops in gc so far. The solution is to disarm the ifp->timer before flushing the rt from it.

2008-07-08net/wireless/nl80211.c: fix endless Netlink callback loop.Julius Volz1-2/+4
Although I only tested similar code (I don't use any of this wireless code), the state maintainance between Netlink dump callback invocations seems wrong here and should lead to an endless loop. There are also other examples in the same file which might have the same problem. Perhaps someone can actually test this (or refute my logic). Take the simple example with only one element in the list (which should fit into the message): 1. invocation: Start: idx = 0, start = 0 Loop: condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 0) => false => no continue, fill one entry, exit loop, return skb->len > 0 2. invocation: Start: idx = 0, start = 1 Loop: condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 1) => false => no continue, fill the same entry again, exit loop, return skb->len > 0 3. invocation: Same as 2. invocation, endless invocation of callback. Also, iterations where the filling of an element fails should not be counted as completed, so idx should not be incremented in this case.

2008-07-08rtl8187: Change detection of RTL8187B with USB ID of 8187Larry Finger2-36/+47
Some early versions of RTL8187B devices have a USB ID of 0x8187 rather than the 0x8189 of later models. In addition, it appears that these early units also must be programmed with lower power. Previous patches used the Product ID string to detect this situation, but did not address the low power question. This patch uses the hardware version and sets the power accordingly.

2008-07-08rfkill: ignore errors from rfkill_toggle_radio in rfkill_add_switchHenrique de Moraes Holschuh1-6/+4
rfkill_add_switch() calls rfkill_toggle_radio() to set the state of a recently registered rfkill class to the current global state [for that rfkill->type]. The rfkill_toggle_radio() call is going to error out if the hardware is RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED, and the global state is RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED. That is a quite normal situation which I missed to account for. As things stand, the error return from rfkill_toggle_radio ends up causing rfkill_register to bail out with an error (de-registering the new switch in the process), which is Not Nice. Change rfkill_add_switch() to not return errors because of a failed call to rfkill_toggle_radio(). We can go back to returning errors again (if that's indeed the right thing to do) if we define the exact error codes the rfkill->toggle_radio callbacks are to return in each situation, so that we can ignore the right ones only.

This patch fixes the iwlwifi rfkill. It removes the input device from iwl3945, adds support for RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED and calls rfkill_force_state() to update the state rather than accessing it directly. The calls to iwl|iwl3945_rfkill_set_hw_state() had to be moved because rfkill_force_state() cannot be called from an atomic context. Tested on iwl3945 and seems to work fine.
