wireless: add back sysfs directory

2012-12-03T19:37:55Z

commit 38c1a01cf10c6e4049b4ffbd4a6af655df2a46e1 upstream. commit 35b2a113cb0298d4f9a1263338b456094a414057 broke (at least) Fedora's networking scripts, they check for the existence of the wireless directory. As the files aren't used, add the directory back and not the files. Also do it for both drivers based on the old wireless extensions and cfg80211, regardless of whether the compat code for wext is built into cfg80211 or not.

wireless: remove wext sysfs

2012-06-05T19:32:15Z

The only user of this was hal prior to its 0.5.12 release which happened over two years ago, so I'm sure this can be removed without issues. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

net: cleanup unsigned to unsigned int

2012-04-15T16:44:40Z

Use of "unsigned int" is preferred to bare "unsigned" in net tree. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/core: simple_strtoul cleanup

2012-04-12T20:09:08Z

Changed net/core/net-sysfs.c: netdev_store() to use kstrtoul() instead of obsolete simple_strtoul(). Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

2012-02-24T09:05:59Z

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

bql: Fix inconsistency between file mode and attr method.

2012-01-17T15:05:55Z

There is no store() method for inflight attribute in the tx-/byte_queue_limits sysfs directory. So remove S_IWUSR bit. Signed-off-by: Hiroaki SHIMODA Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls

2012-01-12T20:26:56Z

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, y). We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Stephen Hemminger CC: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rfs: better sizing of dev_flow_table

2011-12-24T21:13:27Z

Aim of this patch is to provide full range of rps_flow_cnt on 64bit arches. Theorical limit on number of flows is 2^32 Fix some buggy RPS/RFS macros as well. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Tom Herbert CC: Xi Wang CC: Laurent Chavey Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2011-12-23T22:13:56Z

Conflicts: net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c Just two overlapping changes, one added an initialization of a local variable, and another change added a new local variable. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rps: fix insufficient bounds checking in store_rps_dev_flow_table_cnt()

2011-12-23T03:34:56Z

Setting a large rps_flow_cnt like (1 << 30) on 32-bit platform will cause a kernel oops due to insufficient bounds checking. if (count > 1<<30) { /* Enforce a limit to prevent overflow */ return -EINVAL; } count = roundup_pow_of_two(count); table = vmalloc(RPS_DEV_FLOW_TABLE_SIZE(count)); Note that the macro RPS_DEV_FLOW_TABLE_SIZE(count) is defined as: ... + (count * sizeof(struct rps_dev_flow)) where sizeof(struct rps_dev_flow) is 8. (1 << 30) * 8 will overflow 32 bits. This patch replaces the magic number (1 << 30) with a symbolic bound. Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Xi Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
