simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()

2012-04-05T22:25:50Z

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Al Viro Cc: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mac80211: zero initialize count field in ieee80211_tx_rate

2012-02-21T19:45:26Z

rate control algorithms concludes the rate as invalid with rate[i].idx < -1 , while they do also check for rate[i].count is non-zero. it would be safer to zero initialize the 'count' field. recently we had a ath9k rate control crash where the ath9k rate control in ath_tx_status assumed to check only for rate[i].count being non-zero in one instance and ended up in using invalid rate index for 'connection monitoring NULL func frames' which eventually lead to the crash. thanks to Pavel Roskin for fixing it and finding the root cause. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768639 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Pavel Roskin Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: call rate control only after init

2012-02-15T18:56:06Z

There are situations where we don't have the necessary rate control information yet for station entries, e.g. when associating. This currently doesn't really happen due to the dummy station handling; explicitly disabling rate control when it's not initialised will allow us to remove dummy stations.

mac80211: off by one in mcs mask handling

mac80211: add support for mcs masks

2012-01-30T20:48:26Z

* Handle MCS masks set by the user. * Match rates provided by the rate control algorithm to the mask set, also in HT mode, and switch back to legacy mode if necessary. * add debugfs files to observate the rate selection Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich Signed-off-by: Mathias Kretschmer Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: clean up rate control code

2012-01-24T19:21:55Z

It seems exceedingly unlikely that we'll ever support swapping rate control algorithms at runtime, so remove the unused refcounting code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

net: Fix files explicitly needing to include module.h

2011-10-31T23:30:28Z

With calls to modular infrastructure, these files really needs the full module.h header. Call it out so some of the cleanups of implicit and unrequired includes elsewhere can be cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

mac80211: Send nullfunc frames at lower rate during connection monitor

2011-10-03T19:22:32Z

Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate control was not adopted to environment due to minimal transmission. As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should not be sacrificed for rate control updation. So it is better to send the monitoring null func frames at minimum rate that could help to retain the connection. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
