2006-09-27USB: Dealias -110 code (more complete)Pete Zaitcev
The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier, without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately". The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but it's not always available. I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb"). Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

2006-09-27[PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_privateTheodore Ts'o
The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

2006-08-29[PATCH] ipw2200: enable wireless extension passive scanZhu Yi
This patch enables the ipw2200 driver to support passive scanning as offered by the wireless extensions. For this, I enhanced the ipw_wx_set_scan function in such a way that it differentiates between a passive and an active scan request. Additionally, I added a new function called ipw_request_passive_scan that is similiar to the ipw_request_scan function to perform passive scans. Last but not least, I added a field (in fact it is a work_struct struct) called request_passive_scan to the ipw_priv struct.

2006-08-29[PATCH] ipw2200: Reassociate even if set the same essid.Zhu Yi
This patch traps the case when the essid is being set to its current value. If the essid is being set again and we are already associated, chances are some other parameters have also been altered.

2006-08-29[PATCH] ipw2200: ipw_wx_set_essid fixZhu Yi
This patch cleanups the ipw_wx_set_essid code and forces a reassociation when setting the essid to "any". I have tested this patch with iwconfig. It makes ipw2200 compliant with all the cases mentioned in the iwconfig man page. The commands iwconfig iface essid any iwconfig iface essid -- any iwconfig iface essid off iwconfig iface essid on all seemed to work correctly. None of this worked before the patch. Note, this patch treats iwconfig iface essid iwconfig iface essid "" The same. It produces an error message: essid: Unknown host. Since an essid of "" is not mentioned in the iwconfig man page.

2006-08-29[PATCH] ipw2200: SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl returns frequency rather than channelZhu Yi
The SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl fills the request structure's freq field by setting the exponent to 0 and the mantissa to the current channel number. The iwconfig tool works around this behaviour by looking up the frequency from the channel table if a frequency below 1kHz is returned, other tools (e.g. kwlaninfo) don't. According to the comment in the iwconfig source the driver is supposed to return the frequency, not the channel number.

Moving part of the debugging code from IPW_DEBUG to IPW_LL_DEBUG (low level debugging) and make IPW_DEBUG be always enabled. IPW_LL_DEBUG still needs to be enabled by selecting CONFIG_IPW2200_DEBUG.

2006-08-29[PATCH] kthread: airo.cSukadev Bhattiprolu
The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a task. The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in drivers. This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create(). It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid. Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task. As an extension of these changes, the patch further: - replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop() - replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop() - removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by kthread_stop().
