Revert "rt2800: use TXOP_BACKOFF for probe frames"

2018-05-29T07:39:07+00:00

This reverts commit fb47ada8dc3c30c8e7b415da155742b49536c61e. In some situations when we set TXOP_BACKOFF, the probe frame is not sent at all. What it worse then sending probe frame as part of AMPDU and can degrade 11n performance to 11g rates. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

wireless: Use octal not symbolic permissions

2018-03-27T08:01:13+00:00

Prefer the direct use of octal for permissions. Done with checkpatch -f --types=SYMBOLIC_PERMS --fix-inplace and some typing. Miscellanea: o Whitespace neatening around these conversions. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

net/wireless: fix spaces and grammar copy/paste in vendor Kconfig help text

2018-03-13T16:52:25+00:00

Lots of the wireless driver vendor Kconfig symol help text says "questions about cards." (2 spaces between "about" and "cards") Besides dropping one of those spaces, it also needs some other word inserted there. Instead of putting each vendor's name there, I chose to say "these" cards in all of the Kconfig help text. Cc: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

rt2x00: do not pause queue unconditionally on error path

2018-01-08T17:39:07+00:00

Pausing queue without checking threshold is racy with txdone path. Moreover we do not need pause queue on any error, but only if queue is full - in case when we send RTS frame ( other cases of almost full queue are already handled in rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame() ). Patch fixes of theoretically possible problem of pausing empty queue. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Tested-by: Enrico Mioso Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo
