The IMR masking was a technique recommended for avoiding getting stuck with
no interrupts generated again in MSI mode. It kept new IIR bits from getting
set between the IIR read and the IIR write, which would have otherwise
prevented an MSI from ever getting generated again. However, this caused a
problem for vblank as the IMR mask would keep the pipe event interrupt from
getting reflected in IIR, even after the IMR mask was brought back down.
Instead, just check the state of IIR after we ack the interrupts we're going
to handle, and restart if we didn't get IIR all the way to zero.

The pipestat fields affect reporting of all vblank-related interrupts, so we
have to reset them during the irq_handler, and while enabling vblank
interrupts. Otherwise, if a pipe status field had been set to non-zero
before enabling reporting, we would never see an interrupt again.
This patch adds i915_enable_pipestat and i915_disable_pipestat to abstract
out the steps needed to change the reported interrupts.

This patch works around the problem by correcting the internal register setting

USB subsystem hang issue. The change in the behavior of the logic does not
impact the normal operation of the USB subsystem.

Fixes a data corruption bug in pxa2xx_spi.c when operating in full duplex
mode with DMA and using buffers that overlap.
SPI transmit and receive buffers are allowed to be the same or to overlap.
However, this driver fails if such overlap is attempted in DMA mode
because it maps the rx and tx buffers in the wrong order. By mapping
DMA_FROM_DEVICE (read) before DMA_TO_DEVICE (write), it invalidates the
cache before flushing it, thus discarding data which should have been
transmitted.
The patch corrects the order of mapping. This bug exists in all versions
of pxa2xx_spi.c; similar bugs are in the drivers for two other SPI
controllers (au1500, imx).
A version of this patch has been tested on kernel 2.6.20 using
verification of loopback data with: random transfer length, random
bits-per-word, random positive offsets (both larger and smaller than
transfer length) between the start of the rx and tx buffers, and varying
clock rates.

A previous patch, 51e2a3846e, made
genphy_config_aneg() not restart aneg by calling genphy_restart_aneg() if
the advertisement hadn't changed.
But, genphy_restart_aneg() doesn't just restart aneg, it may also *enable*
aneg or un-isolate the PHY from the MII (those functions are controlled by
the same register). The code to avoid calling genphy_restart_aneg() didn't
consider this.
So, modify genphy_config_aneg() to also check if the PHY needs to have aneg
enabled or be un-isolated before deciding not to restart aneg.
This caused a problem with certain Davicom PHYs, as that driver isolates
the PHY (why?) before calling genphy_config_aneg() and expects the PHY to
be un-isolated by that function.

So I dug deeper into the DMA problems I had with iwlagn and a kind soul
helped me in that he said something about pci-e alignment and mentioned
the iwl_rx_allocate function to check for crossing 4KB boundaries. Since
there's 8KB A-MPDU support, crossing 4k boundaries didn't seem like
something the device would fail with, but when I looked into the
function for a minute anyway I stumbled over this little gem:
BUG_ON(rxb->dma_addr & (~DMA_BIT_MASK(36) & 0xff));
Clearly, that is a totally bogus check, one would hope the compiler
removes it entirely. (Think about it)
After fixing it, I obviously ran into it, nothing guarantees the
alignment the way you want it, because of the way skbs and their
headroom are allocated. I won't explain that here nor double-check that
I'm right, that goes beyond what most of the CC'ed people care about.
So then I came up with the patch below, and so far my system has
survived minutes with 64K pages, when it would previously fail in
seconds. And I haven't seen a single instance of the TX bug either. But
when you see the patch it'll be pretty obvious to you why.
This should fix the following reported kernel bugs:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11596http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11983
I haven't checked if there are any elsewhere, but I suppose RHBZ will
have a few instances too...
I'd like to ask anyone who is CC'ed (those are people I know ran into
the bug) to try this patch.
I am convinced that this patch is correct in spirit, but I haven't
understood why, for example, there are so many unmap calls. I'm not
entirely convinced that this is the only bug leading to the TX reply
errors.

Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the
use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may
have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset.
Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed
up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that
mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used
by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good
enough" suspend/resume.
Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only
works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or
any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless.
Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because
it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping
functions within the critical section, and now because it's called
by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl
because it is flushed under rtnl.
(cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046)
I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it
entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly.
For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for
the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably
simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get
mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to
connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we
will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer
to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation,
while the suspend operation must be done directly.
Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect
to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short
enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect
that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the
association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data
frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and
have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is
available and requested.
