Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx()
discovered by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:
CPU0 CPU1
tg3_start_xmit()
if (tx_ring_full) {
tx_lock
tg3_tx()
if (!netif_queue_stopped)
netif_stop_queue()
if (!tx_ring_full)
update_tx_ring
netif_wake_queue()
tx_unlock
}
Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above. This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.
The following changes are made:
1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.
2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.
3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling
netif_wake_queue().
4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier.
Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of
volatile.
5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.
6. Update version to 3.65.

> [<c11ad5ea>] netpoll_send_skb+0x98/0xea
This seems to be a real deadlock...
So netpoll_send_skb takes the _xmit_lock, which is all nitty gritty
but then rtl8139_start_xmit comes around while that lock is taken, and
does
spin_unlock_irq(&tp->lock);
which.. enables interrupts and softirqs; this is quite bad because the
xmit lock is taken in softirq context for the watchdog like this:
[<c1200376>] _spin_lock+0x23/0x32
[<c11af282>] dev_watchdog+0x14/0xb1
[<c101dab2>] run_timer_softirq+0xf2/0x14a
[<c101a691>] __do_softirq+0x55/0xb0
[<c1004a8d>] do_softirq+0x58/0xbd
Which would deadlock now that the spin_unlock_irq() has enabled
irqs/softirqs while the _xmit_lock is still held.
The patch below turns this into a irqsave/irqrestore pair so that
interrupts don't get enabled unconditionally.

[ 197.355612] [<c0102d9d>] common_interrupt+0x25/0x2c
this is caused because the ns83820 driver re-enables irq flags
in hardirq context.
While legal in theory, in practice it should only be done if the
hardware is really old and has some very high overhead in its ISR.
(such as PIO IDE)
For modern hardware, running ISRs with irqs enabled is discouraged,
because 1) new hardware is fast enough to not cause latency problems
2) allowing the nesting of hardware interrupts only 'spreads out'
the handling of the current ISR, causing extra cachemisses that would
otherwise not happen. Furthermore, on architectures where ISRs share
the kernel stacks, enabling interrupts in ISRs introduces a much
higher kernel-stack-nesting and thus kernel-stack-overflow risk.
3) not managing irq-flags via the _irqsave / _irqrestore variants
is dangerous: it's easy to forget whether one function nests inside
another, and irq flags might be mismanaged.
In the few cases where re-enabling interrupts in an ISR is considered
useful (and unavoidable), it has to be taught to the lock validator
explicitly (because the lock validator needs the "no ISR ever enables
hardirqs" artificial simplification to keep the IRQ/softirq locking
dependencies manageable).
This teaching is done via the explicit use local_irq_enable_in_hardirq().
On a stock kernel this maps to local_irq_enable(). If the lock validator
is enabled then this does not enable interrupts.
Now, the analysis of drivers/net/ns83820.c's irq flags use: the
irq-enabling in irq context seems intentional, but i dont think it's
justified. Furthermore, the driver suffers from problem #3 above too,
in ns83820_tx_timeout() it disables irqs via local_irq_save(), but
then it calls do_tx_done() which does a spin_unlock_irq(),
re-enabling for a function that does not expect it! While currently
this bug seems harmless (only some debug printout seems to be
affected by it), it's nevertheless something to be fixed.
So this patch makes the ns83820 ISR irq-flags-safe, and cleans up
do_tx_done() use and locking to avoid the ns83820_tx_timeout() bug.
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
ns83820_mib_isr takes the misc_lock in IRQ context. All other places that
do this in the ISR already use _irqsave versions, make this consistent at
least. At some point in the future someone should audit the driver to see
if all _irqsave's in the ISR can go away, this is generally an iffy/fragile
proposition though; for now get it safe, simple and consistent.
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
ok this is a real driver deadlock:
The ns83820 driver enabled interrupts (by unlocking the misc_lock with
_irq) while still holding the rx_info.lock, which is required to be irq
safe since it's used in the ISR like this:
writel(1, dev->base + IER);
spin_unlock_irq(&dev->misc_lock);
kick_rx(ndev);
spin_unlock_irq(&dev->rx_info.lock);
This is can cause a deadlock if an irq was pending at the first
spin_unlock_irq already, or if one would hit during kick_rx().
Simply remove the first _irq solves this

There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.
Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.
Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.
This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.
This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!
We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite
If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).

The current version of bcm43xx-softmac uses local routines to check
if a channel is valid. As noted in the comments, these routines do
not take any regulatory information into account. This patch converts
the code to use the equivalent routine in ieee80211, which is being
converted to know about regulatory information.
