the scan itself.

Hence, after scanning a channel, check if we have queued up any tx frames and
return to the operating channel in that case.

Unfortunately we don't know if the AP has buffered any frames for us. Hence,
scan only as many channels in a row as the pm_qos latency and the negotiated

mac80211: Fix HT rate control configuration

Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel
with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update()
notification to the driver.

This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel
is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it
is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver

iwlwifi: load firmware asynchronously before mac80211 registration

At the wireless summit in Portland we discussed a way of
loading firmware asynchronously from ->probe() before
registration to mac80211, in order to register with the
wireless subsystems with complete information in cases
where firmware is required to know parameters.

This is not yet the case in iwlwifi, but for some new
features we're working on it will be the case since
those will only be supported by new firmware images.

Hence, to start with, convert iwlwifi to load firmware
asynchronously from probe, unbinding the device when
firmware loading fails, and only registering with the
wireless subsystems after firmware has been loaded
successfully.

Future patches will hook into this to register the
new firmware capabilities, depending on the firmware
API version.

allow association commands while in associated state to enable support
for roaming within an ESS. However, this was not enough to resolve all
cases with mac80211 which needs some additional handling of the

This patch makes ieee80211_mgd_assoc() accept a valid reassociation

fixes roaming between BSSes in an ESS when using wpa_supplicant with

14 years agobnx2x: Tx barriers and locks
Vladislav Zolotarov [Sun, 28 Feb 2010 00:12:02 +0000 (00:12 +0000)]
bnx2x: Tx barriers and locks

[Resending with the proper subject. Sorry for the mess. ]

This patch is based on the RFC of Stanislaw Gruszka.

More specifically it fixes two possible races:
- One, described by Stanislaw, may lead to permanent disabling of the Tx
queue.
This is fixed by adding the smp_wmb() to propagate the BD consumer
change towards the memory.
- Second may lead to bnx2x_start_xmit() returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY.
This is fixed by taking a tx_lock() before rechecking the number of
available Tx BDs.

thanks,
vlad

14 years agoscm: Only support SCM_RIGHTS on unix domain sockets.

scm: Only support SCM_RIGHTS on unix domain sockets.

We use scm_send and scm_recv on both unix domain and

new multicast_lock is used for all operations.  The hash table

The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a
preset limit.  If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain
length then snooping will be disabled.
