9d7fdf1ba9 wimax/i2400m: Move module params to other file so they can be static
This patch moves the module parameters to the file where they
can be avoided to be global and allow them to be static.

The module param : idle_mode_disabled and power_save_disabled
are moved from  driver.c to control.c. Also these module parameters
are declared to be static as they are not required to be global anymore.
The module param : rx_reorder_disabled is moved from driver.c file to

d11a6e4495 wimax i2400m: fix race condition while accessing rx_roq by using kref count
This patch fixes the race condition when one thread tries to destroy
the memory allocated for rx_roq, while another thread still happen
to access rx_roq.
Such a race condition occurs when i2400m-sdio kernel module gets
unloaded, destroying the memory allocated for rx_roq while rx_roq
is accessed by i2400m_rx_edata(), as explained below:
$thread1                                $thread2
$ void i2400m_rx_edata()                $
$Access rx_roq[]                        $
$roq = &i2400m->rx_roq[ro_cin]          $
$ i2400m_roq_[reset/queue/update_ws]    $
$                                       $ void i2400m_rx_release();
$                                       $kfree(rx->roq);
$                                       $rx->roq = NULL;
$Oops! rx_roq is NULL

This patch fixes the race condition using refcount approach.

d94401742d wimax/i2400m: Reset the TX FIFO indices when allocating the TX FIFO in tx_setup()
This patch makes sure whenever tx_setup() is invoked during driver
initialization or device reset where TX FIFO is released and re-allocated,
the indices tx_in, tx_out, tx_msg_size, tx_sequence, tx_msg are properly
initialized.

When a device reset happens and the TX FIFO is released/re-allocated,
a new block of memory may be allocated for the TX FIFO, therefore tx_msg
should be cleared so that no any TX threads (tx_worker, tx) would access
to the out-of-date addresses.

Also, the TX threads use tx_in and tx_out to decide where to put the new
host-to-device messages and from where to copy them to the device HW FIFO,
these indices have to be cleared so after the TX FIFO is re-allocated during
the reset, the indices both refer to the head of the FIFO, ie. a new start.
The same rational applies to tx_msg_size and tx_sequence.

To protect the indices from being accessed by multiple threads simultaneously,
the lock tx_lock has to be obtained before the initializations and released
afterwards.

599e595384 wimax/i2400m: add the error recovery mechanism on TX path
This patch adds an error recovery mechanism on TX path.
The intention is to bring back the device to some known state
whenever TX sees -110 (-ETIMEOUT) on copying the data to the HW FIFO.

The TX failure could mean a device bus stuck or function stuck, so
the current error recovery implementation is to trigger a bus reset
and expect this can bring back the device.

Since the TX work is done in a thread context, there may be a queue of TX works
already that all hit the -ETIMEOUT error condition because the device has
somewhat stuck already. We don't want any consecutive bus resets simply because
multiple TX works in the queue all hit the same device erratum, the flag
"error_recovery" is introduced to denote if we are ready for taking any
error recovery. See @error_recovery doc in i2400m.h.

f4e4134581 wimax/i2400m: fix for missed reset events if triggered by dev_reset_handle()
The problem is only seen on SDIO interface since on USB, a bus reset would
really re-probe the driver, but on SDIO interface, a bus reset will not
re-enumerate the SDIO bus, so no driver re-probe is happening. Therefore,
on SDIO interface, the reset event should be still detected and handled by
dev_reset_handle().

Problem description:
Whenever a reboot barker is received during operational mode (i2400m->boot_mode == 0),
dev_reset_handle() is invoked to handle that function reset event.
dev_reset_handle() then sets the flag i2400m->boot_mode to 1 indicating the device is
back to bootmode before proceeding to dev_stop() and dev_start().
If dev_start() returns failure, a bus reset is triggered by dev_reset_handle().

The flag i2400m->boot_mode then remains 1 when the second reboot barker arrives.
However the interrupt service routine i2400ms_rx() instead of invoking dev_reset_handle()
to handle that reset event, it filters out that boot event to bootmode because it sees
the flag i2400m->boot_mode equal to 1.

The fix:
Maintain the flag i2400m->boot_mode within dev_reset_handle() and set the flag
i2400m->boot_mode to 1 when entering dev_reset_handle(). It remains 1
until the dev_reset_handle() issues a bus reset. ie: the bus reset is
taking place just like it happens for the first time during operational mode.

To denote the actual device state and the state we expect, a flag i2400m->alive
is introduced in addition to the existing flag i2400m->updown.
It's maintained with the same way for i2400m->updown but instead of reflecting
the actual state like i2400m->updown does, i2400m->alive maintains the state
we expect. i2400m->alive is set 1 just like whenever i2400m->updown is set 1.
Yet i2400m->alive remains 1 since we expect the device to be up all the time
until the driver is removed. See the doc for @alive in i2400m.h.

An enumeration I2400M_BUS_RESET_RETRIES is added to define the maximum number of
bus resets that a device reboot can retry.

A counter i2400m->bus_reset_retries is added to track how many bus resets
have been retried in one device reboot. If I2400M_BUS_RESET_RETRIES bus resets
were retried in this boot, we give up any further retrying so the device would enter
low power state. The counter i2400m->bus_reset_retries is incremented whenever
dev_reset_handle() is issuing a bus reset and is cleared to 0 when dev_start() is
successfully done, ie: a successful reboot.

570eb0ea65 wimax/i2400m: fix insufficient size of Tx buffer for 12 payload of 1400 MTU.
This patch increases the Tx buffer size so as to accommodate 12 payloads
of 1408 (1400 MTU 16 bytes aligned). Currently Tx buffer is 32 KiB which
is insufficient to accommodate 12 payloads of 1408 size.
This patch
 - increases I2400M_TX_BUF_SIZE from 32KiB to 64KiB
 - Adds a BUILD_BUG_ON if the calculated buffer size based
   on the given MTU exceeds the I2400M_TX_BUF_SIZE.

Below is how we calculate the size of the Tx buffer.
Payload + 4 bytes prefix for each payload (1400 MTU 16 bytes boundary aligned)
		= (1408 + sizeof(struct i2400m_pl_data_hdr)) * I2400M_TX_PLD_MAX
Adding 16 byte message header = + sizeof(struct i2400m_msg_hdr)
Aligning to 256 byte boundary
Total Tx buffer = (((((1408 + sizeof(struct i2400m_pl_data_hdr))
		* I2400M_TX_PLD_MAX )+ sizeof(struct i2400m_msg_hdr))
		/ 256) + 1) * 256 * 2

3d69438031 cifs: guard against hardlinking directories
When we made serverino the default, we trusted that the field sent by the
server in the "uniqueid" field was actually unique. It turns out that it
isn't reliably so.

Samba, in particular, will just put the st_ino in the uniqueid field when
unix extensions are enabled. When a share spans multiple filesystems, it's
quite possible that there will be collisions. This is a server bug, but
when the inodes in question are a directory (as is often the case) and
there is a collision with the root inode of the mount, the result is a
kernel panic on umount.

Fix this by checking explicitly for directory inodes with the same
uniqueid. If that is the case, then we can assume that using server inode
numbers will be a problem and that they should be disabled.

Fixes Samba bugzilla 7407

202cfe1060 Staging: batman-adv: Update pointer to ethhdr after skb_copy
We must ensure that all pointer to a socket buffer are updated when we
copy a socket buffer and free our reference to the old one.
Another part of the kernel could also free its reference which maybe
removes the buffer completely. In that situation we would would feed
wrong information to the routing algorithm after the memory area is
written again by someone else.

19dae340d2 Staging: batman-adv: Limit queue lengths for batman and broadcast packets
This patch limits the queue lengths of batman and broadcast packets. BATMAN
packets are held back for aggregation and jittered to avoid interferences.
Broadcast packets are stored to be sent out multiple times to increase
the probability to be received by other nodes in lossy environments.

Especially in extreme cases like broadcast storms, the queues have been seen
to run full, eating up all the memory and triggering the infamous OOM killer.
With the queue length limits introduced in this patch, this problem is
avoided.

Each queue is limited to 256 entries for now, resulting in 1 MB of maximum
space available in total for typical setups (assuming one packet including
overhead does not require more than 2000 byte). This should also be reasonable
for smaller routers, otherwise the defines can be tweaked later.

This third version of the patch does not increase the local broadcast
sequence number when the queue is already full.

f94cee2410 Staging: batman-adv: Reorganize sequence number handling
BATMAN and broadcast packets are tracked with a sequence number window of
currently 64 entries to measure and avoid duplicates. Packets which have a
sequence number smaller than the newest received packet minus 64 are not
within this sequence number window anymore and are called "old packets"
from now on.

When old packets are received, the routing code assumes that the host of the
originator has been restarted. This assumption however might be wrong as
packets can also be delayed by NIC drivers, e.g. because of long queues or
collision detection in dense WiFi? environments. This behaviour can be
reproduced by doing a broadcast ping flood in a dense node environment.

The effect is that the sequence number window is jumping forth and back,
accepting and forwarding any packet (because packets are assumed to be "new")
and causing loops.

To overcome this problem, the sequence number handling has been reorganized.
When an old packet is received, the window is reset back only once. Other old
packets are dropped for (currently) 30 seconds to "protect" the new sequence
number and avoid the hopping as described above.

The reorganization brings some code cleanups (at least i hope you feel the
same) and also fixes a bug in count_real_packets() which falsely updated
the last_real_seqno for slightly older packets within the seqno window
if they are no duplicates.

This second version of the patch also fixes a problem where for seq_diff==64
bit_shift() reads from outside of the seqno window, and removes the loop
for seq_diff == -64 which was present in the first patch.

The third iteration also adds a window for the next expected sequence numbers.
This minimizes sequence number flapping for packets with very big differences
(e.g. 3 packets with seqno 0, 25000 and 50000 might still cause problems
without this window).

208e13e429 Staging: batman-adv: move /proc interface handling to /sys
Instead of having a single /proc file "interfaces" in which you have
to echo the wanted interface batman-adv will create a subfolder in each
suitable /sys/class/net folder. This subfolder contains files for the
interface specific settings. For example, mesh_iface to add/remove an
interface from a virtual mesh network (at the moment only bat0 is
supported).

Example:
echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface

to deactivate:
echo none > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface

Interfaces which are not compatible with batman-adv won't contain the
batman-adv folder, therefore can't be activated. Not supported are:
loopback, non-ethernet, non-ARP and virtual mesh network interfaces

This is the first patch in a series of patches which aim to convert
all batman-adv /proc files to sysfs. To keep the changes in a
digestable size it has been split up into smaller chunks. During
the transition period batman-adv will use /proc as well as sysfs.

As a first step the following files have been converted:
aggregate_ogm, originators, transtable_global, transtable_local

The code here is testing to see if "i" is passed the end of the array.
