Flavio Leitner e12b453904 bonding: fix to rejoin multicast groups immediately
The IGMP specs states that if the system receives a
membership report, it shouldn't send another for the
next minute. However, if a link failure happens right
after that, the backup slave and the switch connected
to this slave will not know about the multicast and
the traffic will hang for about a minute.

This patch fixes it to rejoin multicast groups immediately
after a failover restoring the multicast traffic.

Flavio Leitner 5a37e8ca85 bonding: rejoin multicast groups on VLANs
During a failover, the IGMP membership is sent to update
the switch restoring the traffic, but it misses groups added
to VLAN devices running on top of bonding devices.

This patch changes it to iterate over all VLAN devices
on top of it sending IGMP memberships too.

It happens because a user space writer to bond_master can try to

Eric Dumazet d6bf781712 net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table
David

This is the first step for RCU conversion of neigh code.

Next patches will convert hash_buckets[] and "struct neighbour" to RCU
protected objects.

Thanks

[PATCH net-next] net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table

Instead of storing hash_buckets, hash_mask and hash_rnd in "struct
neigh_table", a new structure is defined :

struct neigh_hash_table {
       struct neighbour        **hash_buckets;
       unsigned int            hash_mask;
       __u32                   hash_rnd;
       struct rcu_head         rcu;
};

And "struct neigh_table" has an RCU protected pointer to such a
neigh_hash_table.

This means the signature of (*hash)() function changed: We need to add a
third parameter with the actual hash_rnd value, since this is not
anymore a neigh_table field.

Eric Dumazet caf586e5f2 net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter
In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)

We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)

This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped
accounting), thus reverting it.

Evgeny Kuznetsov 231d0aefd8 wait: using uninitialized member of wait queue
The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in
the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait().  "flags" is
used in bitwise operations.

If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place.
Incorrect flags might used later in code.

Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into
"init_wait".

Linus Torvalds 5336377d62 modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
 - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
   belongs.
 - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
   (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
   for other reasons.

Luis R. Rodriguez e7480bbb92 mac80211: fix channel assumption for association done work
Be consistent and use the wk->chan instead of the
local->hw.conf.channel for the association done work.
This prevents any possible races against channel changes
while we run this work.

In the case that the race did happen we would be initializing
the bit rates for the new AP under the assumption of a wrong
channel and in the worst case, wrong band. This could lead
to trying to assuming we could use CCK frames on 5 GHz, for
example.

table even if the device inidicates that the high power table

 c) specify a post_doit hook that can undo

Helmut Schaa b34793ee27 rt2x00: Work around hw aggregation oddity in rt2800
If a frame is not meant to be sent as AMPDU or part of it the hw might
still decide to aggregate this frame if a previous frame started an
AMPDU. However, this will limit the usefulness of the reported tx rate
since the reported rate will be the one specified in the TXWI of the
first frame and thus it is not possible to reliably caculate the
number of retrys by substracting the reported tx rate from the tx rate
in the TXWI.

To fix this issue, only report the successful rate for frames that were
not meant to be aggregated but ended up in an aggregate.

Example:
Frame A (MCS7, AMPDU=1) B (MCS7, AMPDU=1) C (MCS12, AMDPU=0, PROBE_RATE)

Although frame C shoudn't be aggregated the hw might sill put it
into an AMPDU together with A and B. If the transmission succeeds the tx
status will contain MCS7 for all three frames. In that case we should
only report MCS7 as success rate and avoid reporting MCS12-MCS8 as
failed tx attempts as this will affect the future rate control
decisions.

This oddity might strike us in other scenarious as well but the most
common "wrong" report happened for frames used to probe a different tx
rate.

This improves the rate control decisions notable.

Helmut Schaa 74ee3802c0 rt2x00: Update comment about the AMPDU flag in the TXWI
During testing with AMPDUs it turned out that the rt2800 hw will aggregate
consecutive frames with the same RA and TID when the first frame in a
possible aggregate has set AMPDU=1 in the TXWI. If a following frame has
set AMPDU=0 in its TXWI it might sill end up in the aggregate of the
previous frame. Update the comment accordingly.

Ivo van Doorn bc8a979e2d rt2x00: Improve TX status entry validation
The TX_STA_FIFO contains some information for identifying
a outgoing frame, however matching by WCID and ACK status is
not sufficient to 100% identify the macthing queue_entry structure
(containing the SKB buffer) which belongs to the status report.

Within TX_STA_FIFO we have a 4-bit field named PACKETID, which is
currently used to encode the queue id. The queue ID is however
limited to values from 0 to 3, which means 2 bits are sufficient
to encode the value. With the remaining 2 bits we can encode a
partial queue_entry index number. The value of PACKETID is not
allowed to become 0, with the queue ID ranging from 0 to 3, at least
one of the bits for the entry identification must be 1.

That leaves us with 3 possible values we can still encode in the
bits. Altough this doesn't allow 100% accurate matching of the
TX_STA_FIFO queue to a queue_entry structure, it at least improves
the accuracy. This allows us to better detect if we have missed the
TX_STA_FIFO report, which in turn reduces the number of watchdog
warnings regarding the TX status timeout.

Helmut Schaa ba3b9e5e8c rt2x00: correctly set max_report_rates in rt61pci and rt2800
rt61pci and rt2800 devices can use up to 7 different rates per tx frame.
However, the device uses a global fallback table. Hence, the rc
algortihm cannot specify multiple rates to try but the device is able to
report multiple rates (based on the retry table). Specify that behavior
by correctly setting max_report_rates and max_rates.

This makes rt2x00 and minstrel play nicer together.

Helmut Schaa 78be49ec2a mac80211: distinct between max rates and the number of rates the hw can report
Some drivers cannot handle multiple retry rates specified by the rc
algorithm but instead use their own retry table (for example rt2800).
However, if such a device registers itself with a max_rates value of 1
the rc algorithm cannot make use of the extended information the device
can provide about retried rates. On the other hand, if a device
registers itself with a max_rates value > 1 the rc algorithm assumes
that the device can handle multi rate retries.

Fix this issue by introducing another hw parameter max_report_rates that
can be set to a different value then max_rates to indicate if a device
is capable of reporting more rates then specified in max_rates.

Helmut Schaa 5a5b6ed6ce rt2x00: Don't enable broad- and multicast buffering on USB devices
Since rt2x00 USB devices have no chance to know when a beacon was sent
out in AP mode currently all broad- and multicast traffic is buffered in
mac80211 but never sent out at all.

Unfortunately we have no chance in sending the traffic out after a
DTIM beacon due to hw limitations. Hence, instead of never sending the
buffered traffic out better send it out immediately.

Helmut Schaa 95192339c2 rt2x00: Fix race between dma mapping and clearing rx entries in rt2800pci
During rx, rt2x00lib calls rt2800pci_fill_rxdone to read the RX
descriptor. At that time the skb is already dma unmapped but no new skb
was dma mapped for this entry again. However, rt2800pci_fill_rxdone also
moves the hw rx queue index, marking this entry to be available for
reuse. Since no new skb was dma mapped and also the previous skb was
unmapped this might lead to strange hw behavior.

To fix this issue move the hw rx queue index increment to
rt2800pci_clear_entry where a new skb was already dma mapped and can be
safely used by the hw.

Helmut Schaa 96c3da7d7d rt2x00: rework tx status handling in rt2800pci
This patch changes the way tx status reports are handled by rt2800pci.
Previously rt2800pci would sometimes lose tx status reports as the
TX_STA_FIFO register is a fifo of 16 entries that can overflow in case
we don't read it often/fast enough. Since interrupts are disabled in the
device during the execution of the interrupt thread it happend sometimes
under high network and CPU load that processing took too long and a few
tx status reports were dropped by the hw.

To fix this issue the TX_STA_FIFO register is read directly in the
interrupt handler and stored in a kfifo which is large enough to hold
all status reports of all used tx queues.

To process the status reports a new tasklet txstatus_tasklet is used.
Using the already used interrupt thread is not possible since we don't
want to disable the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt while processing them and
it is not possible to schedule the interrupt thread multiple times for
execution. A tasklet instead can be scheduled multiple times which
allows to leave the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt enabled while a previously
scheduled tasklet is still executing.

In short: All other interrupts are handled in the interrupt thread as
before. Only the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt is partly handled in the
interrupt handler and finished in the according tasklet.

One drawback of this patch is that it duplicates some code from
rt2800lib. However, that can be cleaned up in the future once the
rt2800usb and rt2800pci tx status handling converge more.

Using this patch on a Ralink RT3052 embedded board gives me a reliable
wireless connection even under high CPU and network load. I've
transferred several gigabytes without any queue lockups.
