net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in wireless sysfs methods.

2010-02-19T23:40:51Z

The wireless sysfs methods like the rest of the networking sysfs methods are removed with the rtnl_lock held and block until the existing methods stop executing. So use rtnl_trylock and restart_syscall so that the code continues to work. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Allow devices to specify a device specific sysfs group.

This isn't beautifully abstracted, but it is simple, simplifies uses and so far is only needed for the bonding driver. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sysfs: ethtool_ops can be NULL

2009-10-28T10:59:46Z

commit d519e17e2d01a0ee9abe083019532061b4438065 (net: export device speed and duplex via sysfs) made the wrong assumption that netdev->ethtool_ops was always set. This makes possible to crash kernel and let rtnl in locked state. modprobe dummy ip link set dummy0 up (udev runs and crash) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Andy Gospodarek Signed-off-by: David S.

wext: refactor

2009-10-07T20:39:43Z

Refactor wext to * split out iwpriv handling * split out iwspy handling * split out procfs support * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT After this, drivers need to - select WIRELESS_EXT - for wext support - select WEXT_PRIV - for iwpriv support - select WEXT_SPY - for iwspy support except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT. Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core (i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

wext: let get_wireless_stats() sleep

2009-10-05T09:22:23Z

A number of drivers (recently including cfg80211-based ones) assume that all wireless handlers, including statistics, can sleep and they often also implicitly assume that the rtnl is held around their invocation. This is almost always true now except when reading from sysfs: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:280 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 10450, name: head 2 locks held by head/10450: #0: (&buffer->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [] sysfs_read_file+0x24/0xf4 #1: (dev_base_lock){++.?..}, at: [] wireless_show+0x1a/0x4c Pid: 10450, comm: head Not tainted 2.6.32-rc3 #1 Call Trace: [] __might_sleep+0xf0/0xf7 [] mutex_lock_nested+0x1a/0x33 [] wdev_lock+0xd/0xf [cfg80211] [] cfg80211_wireless_stats+0x45/0x12d [cfg80211] [] get_wireless_stats+0x16/0x1c [] wireless_show+0x2a/0x4c Fix this by using the rtnl instead of dev_base_lock.

net: export device speed and duplex via sysfs

2009-10-05T07:43:35Z

This patch exports the link-speed (in Mbps) and duplex of an interface via sysfs. This eliminates the need to use ethtool just to check the link-speed. Not requiring 'ethtool' and not relying on the SIOCETHTOOL ioctl should be helpful in an embedded environment where space is at a premium as well. NOTE: This patch also intentionally allows non-root users to check the link speed and duplex -- something not possible with ethtool. Here's some sample output: # cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed 100 # cat /sys/class/net/eth0/duplex half # ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: Not reported Advertised auto-negotiation: No Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Half Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: off Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) Link detected: yes Signed-off-by: David S.

wext: add back wireless/ dir in sysfs for cfg80211 interfaces

2009-09-28T20:55:07Z

The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers, in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is too late. Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have the same values reported as in procfs.
