linux/net/rfkill, branch v3.7-rc2

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

2012-10-02T20:38:27Z

Pull networking changes from David Miller: 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov. 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman. 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko. 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar. 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy. 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others. 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel Borkmann. 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet. 12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation. From Stephen Hemminger. 13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around. Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user namespace changes. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1012 commits) hyperv: Add buffer for extended info after the RNDIS response message. hyperv: Report actual status in receive completion packet hyperv: Remove extra allocated space for recv_pkt_list elements hyperv: Fix page buffer handling in rndis_filter_send_request() hyperv: Fix the missing return value in rndis_filter_set_packet_filter() hyperv: Fix the max_xfer_size in RNDIS initialization vxlan: put UDP socket in correct namespace vxlan: Depend on CONFIG_INET sfc: Fix the reported priorities of different filter types sfc: Remove EFX_FILTER_FLAG_RX_OVERRIDE_IP sfc: Fix loopback self-test with separate_tx_channels=1 sfc: Fix MCDI structure field lookup sfc: Add parentheses around use of bitfield macro arguments sfc: Fix null function pointer in efx_sriov_channel_type vxlan: virtual extensible lan igmp: export symbol ip_mc_leave_group netlink: add attributes to fdb interface tg3: unconditionally select HWMON support when tg3 is enabled.

rfkill: prevent unnecessary event generation

2012-09-24T08:35:54Z

Prevent unnecessary rfkill event generation when the state has not actually changed. These events have to be delivered to relevant userspace processes, causing these processes to wake up and do something while they could as well have slept. This obviously results in more CPU usage, longer time-to-sleep-again and therefore higher power consumption. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Wool Signed-off-by: Mykyta Iziumtsev Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Revert "rfkill: remove dead code"

2012-08-21T18:50:25Z

This reverts commit 2e48928d8a0f38c1b5c81eb3f1294de8a6382c68. Those functions are needed and should not be removed, or there is no way to set the rfkill led trigger name. Signed-off-by: AceLan Kao Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of cancel + queue

2012-08-13T23:27:37Z

Convert delayed_work users doing cancel_delayed_work() followed by queue_delayed_work() to mod_delayed_work(). Most conversions are straight-forward. Ones worth mentioning are, * drivers/edac/edac_mc.c: edac_mc_workq_setup() converted to always use mod_delayed_work() and cancel loop in edac_mc_reset_delay_period() is dropped. * drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c: No need to remember whether watchdog is active or not. @fan_watchdog_active and related code dropped. * drivers/power/charger-manager.c: Seemingly a lot of delayed_work_pending() abuse going on here. [delayed_]work_pending() are unsynchronized and racy when used like this. I converted one instance in fullbatt_handler(). Please conver the rest so that it invokes workqueue APIs for the intended target state rather than trying to game work item pending state transitions. e.g. if timer should be modified - call mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync](). * drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling() simplified. Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are meaningless. round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta delay used by delayed_work. v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be safely converted to mod_delayed_work(). They could be calling it from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn() is running, it could deadlock. __cancel_delayed_work() users are dropped.

rfkill: Add the capability to switch all devices of all type in __rfkill_switch_all().

2012-06-06T19:18:17Z

__rfkill_switch_all() switches the state of devices of a given type; however, it does not switch devices of all type (RFKILL_TYPE_ALL). As a result, it ignores the keycode "KEY_RFKILL" from another module, i.e. eeepc-wmi. This fix is to make __rfkill_switch_all() to be able to switch not only devices of a given type but also all devices. Signed-off-by: Alex Hung Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)

2012-03-11T18:27:37Z

For files that are actively using linux/device.h, make sure that they call it out. This will allow us to clean up some of the implicit uses of linux/device.h within include/* without introducing build regressions. Yes, this was created by "cheating" -- i.e. the headers were cleaned up, and then the fallout was found and fixed, and then the two commits were reordered. This ensures we don't introduce build regressions into the git history. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

net/rfkill/rfkill-gpio.c: introduce missing kfree

2012-01-04T19:30:46Z

Error handling code following a kmalloc should free the allocated data. The label fail_alloc already does this for rfkill. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) // @r exists@ local idexpression x; statement S; identifier f1; position p1,p2; expression *ptr != NULL; @@ x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...); ... if (x == NULL) S <... when != x when != if (...) { <+...x...+> } x->f1 ...> ( return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\); | return@p2 ...; ) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; @@ print "* file: %s kmalloc %s return %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: John W.

net: rfkill: convert net/rfkill/* to use module_platform_driver()

2011-11-30T20:08:27Z

This patch converts the drivers in net/rfkill/* to use the module_platform_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit simpler. Cc: "David S. Miller" Cc: "John W.
