hostap_cs: fix sleeping function called from invalid context

2011-04-30T14:53:01Z

commit 4e5518ca53be29c1ec3c00089c97bef36bfed515 upstream. pcmcia_request_irq() and pcmcia_enable_device() are intended to be called from process context (first function allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL, second take a mutex). We can not take spin lock and call them. It's safe to move spin lock after pcmcia_enable_device() as we still hold off IRQ until dev->base_addr is 0 and driver will not proceed with interrupts when is not ready.

hostap: Protect against initialization interrupt

2010-08-02T17:18:50Z

commit d6a574ff6bfb842bdb98065da053881ff527be46 upstream. Use an irq spinlock to hold off the IRQ handler until enough early card init is complete such that the handler can run without faulting. Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

hostap: pad the skb->cb usage in lieu of a proper fix

2008-11-20T22:54:44Z

commit f7cd168645dda3e9067f24fabbfa787f9a237488 upstream. Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device to the physical wireless device. Unfortunately, that trick no longer works... Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack the best option we have in the short run. Hopefully someone will eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected hardware dies. (Above text by me. Johannes officially disavows all knowledge of this hack. -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

netdev: Handle ->addr_list_lock just like ->_xmit_lock for lockdep.

2008-07-22T21:16:42Z

The new address list lock needs to handle the same device layering issues that the _xmit_lock one does. This integrates work done by Patrick McHardy. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.

2008-07-18T02:21:00Z

alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

netdev: Move _xmit_lock and xmit_lock_owner into netdev_queue.

2008-07-09T06:13:53Z

Accesses are mostly structured such that when there are multiple TX queues the code transformations will be a little bit simpler. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
