From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt To: Jeff Garzik Cc: achirica@telefonica.net, linux-kernel mailing list Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <1059483772.8545.13.camel@gaston> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.3 Date: 29 Jul 2003 09:02:52 -0400 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi ! Here's a patch against Linus current airo.c, it adds back some fixes I did during OLS on the previous version of this driver. I couldn't test this new 'fixed' version though as I don't have the airo card anymore: - Initialize the work_struct structures used by the driver - Change most of schedule_work() to schedule_delayed_work(). The problem with schedule_work() is that the worker_thread will never schedule() if the work keeps getting added back to the list by the callback, which typically happened with this driver when the xmit work gets scheduled while the semaphore was used by a pending command. Note that -ac tree has a modified version of this driver that gets rid of this "over-smart" work queue stuff and uses normal spinlock instead, probably at the expense of some latency... - Fix a small signed vs. unsigned char issue - Remove bogus pci_module_init(), use pci_register_driver() instead and add missing pci_unregister_driver() so the module can now be removed without leaving stale references (and thus avoid an oops next time the driver list is walked by the device core). Jeff, if you are ok with these, please send to Linus, Ben diff -urN linux-2.5/drivers/net/wireless/airo.c linuxppc-2.5-benh/drivers/net/wireless/airo.c --- linux-2.5/drivers/net/wireless/airo.c 2003-07-29 08:51:06.000000000 -0400 +++ linuxppc-2.5-benh/drivers/net/wireless/airo.c 2003-07-29 08:54:26.000000000 -0400 @@ -633,7 +633,7 @@ u16 SSIDlen; char SSID[32]; char apName[16]; - char bssid[4][ETH_ALEN]; + unsigned char bssid[4][ETH_ALEN]; u16 beaconPeriod; u16 dimPeriod; u16 atimDuration; @@ -1031,7 +1031,7 @@ struct work_struct promisc_task; struct { struct sk_buff *skb; - int fid; + int fid, hardirq; struct work_struct task; } xmit, xmit11; struct net_device *wifidev; @@ -1348,7 +1348,12 @@ netif_stop_queue(dev); priv->xmit.task.func = (void (*)(void *))airo_do_xmit; priv->xmit.task.data = (void *)dev; - schedule_work(&priv->xmit.task); + if (priv->xmit.hardirq) { + priv->xmit.hardirq = 0; + schedule_work(&priv->xmit.task); + return; + } + schedule_delayed_work(&priv->xmit.task, 1); return; } status = transmit_802_3_packet (priv, fids[fid], skb->data); @@ -1393,6 +1398,7 @@ fids[i] |= (len << 16); priv->xmit.skb = skb; priv->xmit.fid = i; + priv->xmit.hardirq = 1; airo_do_xmit(dev); } return 0; @@ -1410,7 +1416,12 @@ netif_stop_queue(dev); priv->xmit11.task.func = (void (*)(void *))airo_do_xmit11; priv->xmit11.task.data = (void *)dev; - schedule_work(&priv->xmit11.task); + if (priv->xmit11.hardirq) { + priv->xmit11.hardirq = 0; + schedule_work(&priv->xmit11.task); + return; + } + schedule_delayed_work(&priv->xmit11.task, 1); return; } status = transmit_802_11_packet (priv, fids[fid], skb->data); @@ -1485,7 +1496,7 @@ } else { ai->stats_task.func = (void (*)(void *))airo_read_stats; ai->stats_task.data = (void *)ai; - schedule_work(&ai->stats_task); + schedule_delayed_work(&ai->stats_task, 1); } } @@ -1508,7 +1519,7 @@ } else { ai->promisc_task.func = (void (*)(void *))airo_end_promisc; ai->promisc_task.data = (void *)ai; - schedule_work(&ai->promisc_task); + schedule_delayed_work(&ai->promisc_task, 1); } } @@ -1524,7 +1535,7 @@ } else { ai->promisc_task.func = (void (*)(void *))airo_set_promisc; ai->promisc_task.data = (void *)ai; - schedule_work(&ai->promisc_task); + schedule_delayed_work(&ai->promisc_task, 1); } } @@ -1710,6 +1721,14 @@ sema_init(&ai->sem, 1); ai->need_commit = 0; ai->config.len = 0; + INIT_WORK(&ai->stats_task, NULL, NULL); + INIT_WORK(&ai->promisc_task, NULL, NULL); + INIT_WORK(&ai->xmit.task, NULL, NULL); + INIT_WORK(&ai->xmit11.task, NULL, NULL); + INIT_WORK(&ai->mic_task, NULL, NULL); +#ifdef WIRELESS_EXT + INIT_WORK(&ai->event_task, NULL, NULL); +#endif rc = add_airo_dev( dev ); if (rc) goto err_out_free; @@ -1859,7 +1878,7 @@ } else { ai->event_task.func = (void (*)(void *))airo_send_event; ai->event_task.data = (void *)dev; - schedule_work(&ai->event_task); + schedule_delayed_work(&ai->event_task, 1); } } #endif @@ -1876,7 +1895,7 @@ } else { ai->mic_task.func = (void (*)(void *))airo_read_mic; ai->mic_task.data = (void *)ai; - schedule_work(&ai->mic_task); + schedule_delayed_work(&ai->mic_task, 1); } } @@ -4090,7 +4109,7 @@ #ifdef CONFIG_PCI printk( KERN_INFO "airo: Probing for PCI adapters\n" ); - rc = pci_module_init(&airo_driver); + rc = pci_register_driver(&airo_driver); printk( KERN_INFO "airo: Finished probing for PCI adapters\n" ); #endif @@ -4102,6 +4121,7 @@ static void __exit airo_cleanup_module( void ) { + pci_unregister_driver(&airo_driver); while( airo_devices ) { printk( KERN_INFO "airo: Unregistering %s\n", airo_devices->dev->name ); stop_airo_card( airo_devices->dev, 1 ); @@ -5160,7 +5180,7 @@ & status_rid.bssid[i][2] & status_rid.bssid[i][3] & status_rid.bssid[i][4] - & status_rid.bssid[i][5])!=-1 && + & status_rid.bssid[i][5])!=0xff && (status_rid.bssid[i][0] | status_rid.bssid[i][1] | status_rid.bssid[i][2]
