nl80211: ensure interface is up in various APIs

2012-04-09T19:54:46Z

The nl80211 handling code should ensure as much as it can that the interface is in a valid state, it can certainly ensure the interface is running. Not doing so can cause calls through mac80211 into the driver that result in warnings and unspecified behaviour in the driver.

Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

2012-04-05T22:30:34Z

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to merge things. I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion." * emailed from Andrew Morton : (16 patches) memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1 C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open() scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open() libfs: add simple_open() hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig() proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA

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

cfg80211: allow CFG80211_SIGNAL_TYPE_UNSPEC in station_info

2012-03-26T19:07:25Z

The station_info struct had demanded dBm signal values, but the cfg80211 wireless extensions implementation was also accepting "unspecified" (i.e. RSSI) unit values while the nl80211 code was completely unaware of them. Resolve this by formally allowing the "unspecified" units while making nl80211 ignore them. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg
