Jarek Poplawski [Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:20:12 +0000 (07:20 +0000)]
net: Optimize hard_start_xmit() return checking

Recent changes in the TX error propagation require additional checking
and masking of values returned from hard_start_xmit(), mainly to
separate cases where skb was consumed. This aim can be simplified by
changing the order of NETDEV_TX and NET_XMIT codes, because the latter
are treated similarly to negative (ERRNO) values.

After this change much simpler dev_xmit_complete() is also used in
sch_direct_xmit(), so it is moved to netdevice.h.

Additionally NET_RX definitions in netdevice.h are moved up from
between TX codes to avoid confusion while reading the TX comment.

Indeed. But we dump at most one skb (<= 8192 bytes ?), so rcu_read_lock

addresses. I wonder if its really common...

net/atm: move all compat_ioctl handling to atm/ioctl.c

We have two implementations of the compat_ioctl handling for ATM, the
one that we have had for ages in fs/compat_ioctl.c and the one added to
net/atm/ioctl.c by David Woodhouse. Unfortunately, both versions are
incomplete, and in practice we use a very confusing combination of the
two.

For ioctl numbers that have the same identifier on 32 and 64 bit systems,
we go directly through the compat_ioctl socket operation, for those that

differ, we do a conversion in fs/compat_ioctl.c.

This patch moves both variants into the vcc_compat_ioctl() function,
while preserving the current behaviour. It also kills off the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL
definitions that we never use here.
Doing it this way is clearly not a good solution, but I hope it is a
step into the right direction, so that someone is able to clean up this
mess for real.

15 years agoiwlwifi: Use RTS/CTS as the preferred protection mechanism for 6000 series
Wey-Yi Guy [Fri, 6 Nov 2009 23:17:04 +0000 (15:17 -0800)]
iwlwifi: Use RTS/CTS as the preferred protection mechanism for 6000 series

When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.

The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.

When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.

By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.

For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.
