2013-02-15mac80211: clean up channel use in ieee80211_config_ht_txJohannes Berg1-11/+3
The channel use is confusing, some uses the channel context and some the bss_conf.chandef. The latter is fine, so get rid of the channel context part. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-15mac80211: disable HT/VHT if AP has no HT/VHT capabilityJohannes Berg1-2/+14
Having HT/VHT operation IEs but not capability IEs leads to a strange situation where we configure the channel to an HT or VHT bandwidth and then can't actually use it. Prevent this by checking that the HT and VHT capability IEs are present as well as the operation IEs; if not, disable HT and/or VHT. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-15mac80211: handle operating mode notif in beacon/assoc responseJohannes Berg5-6/+38
In beacons and association response frames an AP may include an operating mode notification element to advertise changes in the number of spatial streams it can receive. Handle this using the existing function that handles the action frame, but only handle NSS changes, not bandwidth changes which aren't allowed here.

2013-02-15mac80211: init HT TX data before rate controlJohannes Berg1-20/+19
In case of connection, the station data is initialised from the beacon/probe response first and then updated from the association response. If the latter is different we update the rate control algorithm and driver. Instead of doing it this way, set the station data properly with data from the association response before initializing rate control. Also simplify the code by passing the station pointer.

2013-02-15mac80211: track number of spatial streamsJohannes Berg4-0/+49
With VHT, a station can change the number of spatial streams it can receive on the fly, not unlike spatial multiplexing in HT. Prepare for that by tracking the maximum number of spatial streams it can receive when the connection is established. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-15wireless: define operating mode action frameJohannes Berg1-0/+37

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg27-158/+184
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

2013-02-15mac80211: don't call bss_info_changed on p2p-device/monitorJohannes Berg2-9/+18
Since the idle decision rework, mac80211 started calling bss_info_changed() for the driver's monitor interface, which causes a crash for iwlwifi, but drivers generally don't expect this to happen. Therefore, avoid it. While at it, also prevent calling it in such cases and only print a warning. For the P2P Device interface the idle will no longer be called (no channel context), so also prevent that and warn on it.

2013-02-15mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout handlingJohannes Berg4-4/+25
In my commit 1672c0e31917f49d31d30d79067103432bc20cc7 ("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status") I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as having timed out. Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started" variable that tracks whether the timeout has started and is checked before timing out. Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211.

2013-02-15mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-staMichael Braun1-0/+1
When sending a broadcast while at least on of the connected stations is sleeping, it gets queued and send after a DTIM beacon is sent. If the packet was to be sent on a vlan interface, the vif used for dequeing from the per-bss queue does not hold the per-vlan sdata.

2013-02-15xfs: xfs_bmap_add_attrfork_local is too genericDave Chinner1-21/+93
When we are converting local data to an extent format as a result of adding an attribute, the type of data contained in the local fork determines the behaviour that needs to occur. xfs_bmap_add_attrfork_local() already handles the directory data case specially by using S_ISDIR() and calling out to xfs_dir2_sf_to_block(), but with verifiers we now need to handle each different type of metadata specially and different metadata formats require different verifiers (and eventually block header initialisation). There is only a single place that we add and attribute fork to the inode, but that is in the attribute code and it knows nothing about the specific contents of the data fork. It is only the case of local data that is the issue here, so adding code to hadnle this case in the attribute specific code is wrong. Hence we are really stuck trying to detect the data fork contents in xfs_bmap_add_attrfork_local() and performing the correct callout there. Luckily the current cases can be determined by S_IS* macros, and we can push the work off to data specific callouts, but each of those callouts does a lot of work in common with xfs_bmap_local_to_extents(). The only reason that this fails for symlinks right now is is that xfs_bmap_local_to_extents() assumes the data fork contains extent data, and so attaches a a bmap extent data verifier to the buffer and simply copies the data fork information straight into it. To fix this, allow us to pass a "formatting" callback into xfs_bmap_local_to_extents() which is responsible for setting the buffer type, initialising it and copying the data fork contents over to the new buffer. This allows callers to specify how they want to format the new buffer (which is necessary for the upcoming CRC enabled metadata blocks) and hence make xfs_bmap_local_to_extents() useful for any type of data fork content.

2013-02-15xfs: remove log force from xfs_buf_trylock()Brian Foster1-2/+0
The trylock log force invoked via xfs_buf_item_push() can attempt to acquire xa_lock, thus leading to a recursion bug when called with xa_lock held. This log force was originally added to xfs_buf_trylock() to address xfsaild stalls due to pinned and stale buffers. Since the addition of this behavior, the log item pushing code had been reworked to detect and track pinned items to inform xfsaild to issue a log force itself when necessary. As such, the log force on trylock failure is redundant and safe to remove.

2013-02-15xfs: recheck buffer pinned status after push trylock failureBrian Foster1-1/+11
The buffer pinned check and trylock sequence in xfs_buf_item_push() can race with an active transaction on marking the buffer pinned. This can result in the buffer becoming pinned and stale after the initial check and the trylock failure, but before the check in xfs_buf_trylock() that issues a log force. If the log force is issued from this context, a spinlock recursion occurs on xa_lock. Prepare xfs_buf_item_push() to handle the race by detecting a pinned buffer after the trylock failure so xfsaild issues a log force from a safe context. This, along with various previous fixes, renders the log force in xfs_buf_trylock() redundant.

2013-02-15xfs: limit speculative prealloc size on sparse filesDave Chinner1-10/+67
Speculative preallocation based on the current file size works well for contiguous files, but is sub-optimal for sparse files where the EOF preallocation can fill holes and result in large amounts of zeros being written when it is not necessary. The algorithm is modified to prevent EOF speculative preallocation from triggering larger allocations on IO patterns of truncate--to-zero-seek-write-seek-write-.... which results in non-sparse files for large files. This, unfortunately, is the way cp now behaves when copying sparse files and so needs to be fixed. What this code does is that it looks at the existing extent adjacent to the current EOF and if it determines that it is a hole we disable speculative preallocation altogether. To avoid the next write from doing a large prealloc, it takes the size of subsequent preallocations from the current size of the existing EOF extent. IOWs, if you leave a hole in the file, it resets preallocation behaviour to the same as if it was a zero size file. Example new behaviour: $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 31m" \ -c "pwrite 33m 1m" \ -c "pwrite 128m 1m" \ -c "fiemap -v" /mnt/scratch/blah wrote 32505856/32505856 bytes at offset 0 31 MiB, 7936 ops; 0.0000 sec (1.608 GiB/sec and 421432.7439 ops/sec) wrote 1048576/1048576 bytes at offset 34603008 1 MiB, 256 ops; 0.0000 sec (1.462 GiB/sec and 383233.5329 ops/sec) wrote 1048576/1048576 bytes at offset 134217728 1 MiB, 256 ops; 0.0000 sec (1.719 GiB/sec and 450704.2254 ops/sec) /mnt/scratch/blah: EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS 0: [0..65535]: 96..65631 65536 0x0 1: [65536..67583]: hole 2048 2: [67584..69631]: 67680..69727 2048 0x0 3: [69632..262143]: hole 192512 4: [262144..264191]: 262240..264287 2048 0x1 Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@sgi.com>

This fixes a less obvious error on one hand, and prevents futher similar errors by disambiguating and optimizing RxFCB indication, on the other hand. The error consists in NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX flag being used as an indication of Rx FCB insertion. This happened as soon gfar_uses_fcb(), which despite its name indicates Rx FCB insertion, started incorporating is_vlan_on(). is_vlan_on(), on the other hand, is also a misleading construct because we need to differentiate b/w hw VLAN extraction/VLEX (marked by VLAN_RX flag) and hw VLAN insertion/VLINS (VLAN_TX flag), which are different mechanisms using different types of FCBs. The hw spec for the RxFCB feature is as follows: In the case of RxBD rings, FCBs (Frame Control Block) are inserted by the eTSEC whenever RCTRL[PRSDEP] is set to a non-zero value. Only one FCB is inserted per frame (in the buffer pointed to by the RxBD with bit F set). TOE acceleration for receive is enabled for all rx frames in this case. This patch introduces priv->uses_rxfcb field to quickly signal RxFCB insertion in accordance with the specification above. The dependency on FSL_GIANFAR_DEV_HAS_TIMER was also eliminated as another source of confusion. The actual dependency is to priv->hwts_rx_en. Upon changing priv->hwts_rx_en via IOCTL, the gfar device is being restarted and on init_mac() the priv->hwts_rx_en flag determines RxFCB insertion, and rctrl is programmed accordingly. The patch takes care of this case too. Though maybe not as self documenting as the inlining version uses_fcb(), priv->uses_rxfcb has the main purpose to quickly signal, on the hot path, that the incoming frame has a *Rx* FCB block inserted which needs to be pulled out before passing the skb to the stack. This is a performance critical operation, it needs to happen fast, that's why uses_rxfcb is placed in the first cacheline of gfar_private. This is also why a cached rctrl cannot be used instead: 1) because we don't have 32 bits available in the first cacheline of gfar_priv (but only 16); 2) bit operations are expensive on the hot path.

2013-02-14gianfar: Remove wrong buffer size conditioning to VLAN h/w offloadClaudiu Manoil1-3/+0
The controller's ref manual states clearly that when the hw Rx vlan offload feature is enabled, meaning that the VLEX bit from RCTRL is correctly enabled, then the hw performs automatic VLAN tag extraction and deletion from the ethernet frames. So there's no point in trying to increase the rx buff size when rxvlan is on, as the frame is actually smaller. And the Tx vlan hw accel feature (VLINS) has nothing to do with rx buff size computation. Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The change is significant since it affects the rx hot path. Paul observed and documented the effects at asm level, see below: "It turns out that it does make a difference, since gfar_process_frame gets inlined, and so the increment code gets moved out of line (I have marked the if statment with * and the increment code within "-----"): ------------------------- as is currently ------------------ 4d14: 80 61 00 18 lwz r3,24(r1) 4d18: 7f c4 f3 78 mr r4,r30 4d1c: 48 00 00 01 bl 4d1c <gfar_clean_rx_ring+0x10c> * 4d20: 2f 83 00 04 cmpwi cr7,r3,4 4d24: 40 9e 00 1c bne- cr7,4d40 <gfar_clean_rx_ring+0x130> ---------------------------- 4d28: 81 3c 01 f8 lwz r9,504(r28) 4d2c: 81 5c 01 fc lwz r10,508(r28) 4d30: 31 4a 00 01 addic r10,r10,1 4d34: 7d 29 01 94 addze r9,r9 4d38: 91 3c 01 f8 stw r9,504(r28) 4d3c: 91 5c 01 fc stw r10,508(r28) ---------------------------- 4d40: a0 1f 00 24 lhz r0,36(r31) 4d44: 81 3f 00 00 lwz r9,0(r31) 4d48: 7f a4 eb 78 mr r4,r29 4d4c: 7f e3 fb 78 mr r3,r31 -------------------------- unlikely ------------------------ 4d14: 80 61 00 18 lwz r3,24(r1) 4d18: 7f c4 f3 78 mr r4,r30 4d1c: 48 00 00 01 bl 4d1c <gfar_clean_rx_ring+0x10c> * 4d20: 2f 83 00 04 cmpwi cr7,r3,4 4d24: 41 9e 03 94 beq- cr7,50b8 <gfar_clean_rx_ring+0x4a8> 4d28: a0 1f 00 24 lhz r0,36(r31) 4d2c: 81 3f 00 00 lwz r9,0(r31) 4d30: 7f a4 eb 78 mr r4,r29 4d34: 7f e3 fb 78 mr r3,r31 [...] 50b8: 81 3c 01 f8 lwz r9,504(r28) 50bc: 81 5c 01 fc lwz r10,508(r28) 50c0: 31 4a 00 01 addic r10,r10,1 50c4: 7d 29 01 94 addze r9,r9 50c8: 91 3c 01 f8 stw r9,504(r28) 50cc: 91 5c 01 fc stw r10,508(r28) 50d0: 4b ff fc 58 b 4d28 <gfar_clean_rx_ring+0x118> So, the increment does actually get moved ~1k away."
