2013-10-28nl80211/cfg80211: enable DFS for IBSS modeSimon Wunderlich
To use DFS in IBSS mode, userspace is required to react to radar events. It can inform nl80211 that it is capable of doing so by adding a NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS attribute when joining the IBSS. This attribute is supplied to let the kernelspace know that the userspace application can and will handle radar events, e.g. by intiating channel switches to a valid channel. DFS channels may only be used if this attribute is supplied and the driver supports it. Driver support will be checked even if a channel without DFS will be initially joined, as a DFS channel may be chosen later.

2013-10-28mac80211: implement SMPS for APEmmanuel Grumbach
When the driver requests to move to STATIC or DYNAMIC SMPS, we send an action frame to each associated station and reconfigure the channel context / driver. Of course, non-MIMO stations are ignored. The beacon isn't updated. The association response will include the original capabilities. Stations that associate while in non-OFF SMPS mode will get an action frame right after association to inform them about our current state. Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an action frame before the EAPOL is finished can be an issue for a few clients. Clients aren't likely to send EAPOL frames in MIMO anyway. When the SMPS configuration gets more permissive (e.g. STATIC -> OFF), we don't wake up stations that are asleep We remember that they don't know about the change and send the action frame when they wake up. When the SMPS configuration gets more restrictive (e.g. OFF -> STATIC), we set the TIM bit for every sleeping STA. uAPSD stations might send MIMO until they poll the action frame, but this is for a short period of time.

2013-10-11cfg80211: enable regulatory hints for strict custom settingsLuis R. Rodriguez
If we have a wiphy with an ISO3166-alpha2 regulatory domain programmed with the strict flag set we wait until the wiphy gets its wiphy->regd programmed before allowing regulatory domains hints other than country IE hints from processing on the wiphy. The existing check however discards the possibility of custom regulatory domains having also used the strict flag and these will not have the wiphy->regd set. Custom strict regulatory domains never set the wiphy->regd though as such currently all regulatory hints other than country IE hints are being ignored on these wiphys. All custom strict regulatory domains set the wiphy with the WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY and use wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Enhance the check for the strict ISO3166-alpha2 regulatory domain case by exempting the WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY case. This will enable other regulatory hints to be processed now for these strict custom regulatory domains. Cc: smihir@qti.qualcomm.com Cc: tushnimb@qca.qualcomm.com Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2013-10-02mac80211: implement STA CSA for drivers using channel contextsArik Nemtsov
Limit the current implementation to a single channel context used by a single vif, thereby avoiding multi-vif/channel complexities. Reuse the main function from AP CSA code, but move a portion out in order to fit the STA scenario.

2013-10-01regulatory: enable channels 52-64 and 100-144 for world roamingJohannes Berg
If allowed in a country, these channels typically require DFS so mark them as such. Channel 144 is a bit special, it's coming into use now to allow more VHT 80 channels, but world roaming with passive scanning is acceptable anyway. It seems fairly unlikely that it'll be used as the control channel for a VHT AP, but it needs to be present to allow a full VHT connection to an AP that uses it as one of the secondary channels. Also enable VHT 160 on these channels, and also for channels 36-48 to be able to use VHT 160 there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-10-01mac80211: support reporting A-MSDU subframes individuallyMichal Kazior
Some devices may not be able to report A-MSDUs in single buffers. Drivers for such devices were forced to re-assemble A-MSDUs which would then be eventually disassembled by mac80211. This could lead to CPU cache thrashing and poor performance. Since A-MSDU has a single sequence number all subframes share it. This was in conflict with retransmission/duplication recovery (IEEE802.11-2012: 9.3.2.10). Patch introduces a new flag that is meant to be set for all individually reported A-MSDU subframes except the last one. This ensures the last_seq_ctrl is updated after the last subframe is processed. If an A-MSDU is actually a duplicate transmission all reported subframes will be properly discarded.

2013-09-26mac80211: add ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_rtnl()Johannes Berg
If it is needed to disconnect multiple virtual interfaces after (WoWLAN-) suspend, the most obvious approach would be to iterate all interfaces by calling ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() and then call ieee80211_resume_disconnect() for each one. This is what the iwlmvm driver does. Unfortunately, this causes a locking dependency from mac80211's iflist_mtx to the key_mtx. This is problematic as the former is intentionally never held while calling any driver operation to allow drivers to iterate with their own locks held. The key_mtx is held while installing a key into the driver though, so this new lock dependency means drivers implementing the logic above can no longer hold their own lock while iterating. To fix this, add a new ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_rtnl() function that iterates while the RTNL is already held. This is true during suspend/resume, so that then the locking dependency isn't introduced. While at it, also refactor the various interface iterators and keep only a single implementation called by the various cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-09-15partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lbaDavidlohr Bueso
Matt found that commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics, Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1]. Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value other than these.

2013-09-14vfs: fix dentry LRU list handling and nr_dentry_unused accountingLinus Torvalds
The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic. This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing things from the LRU. The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular sanity checking.

2013-09-13cifs: Avoid calling unlock_page() twice in cifs_readpage() when using fscacheSachin Prabhu
When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages. In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by fscache. With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the page lock in cifs_write_begin(). The problem was first noticed when testing new fscache patches for cifs. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005737 Signed-off-by: Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com>

We do not need to take a reference to the pagecache in cifs_readpage_worker() since the calling function will have already taken one before passing the pointer to the page as an argument to the function.
