forcdeth: increase max_interrupt_work

This eliminates the following often-generated warning from my 64 bit
Opteron SMP test stand:

eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq

According to the web, the problem is that the forcedeth driver has a
too-low value for max_interrupt_work.  Grepping the kernel I see that
forcedeth has the second lowest value of all ethernet drivers (ie, 6).
Most are in the 20-40 range.  So this patch increases this a bit, from 6
to 15 (at 15 forcedeth becomes the driver with third-lowest
max_interrupt_work value).

My test stand, which used to print out the above warnings repetitively
whenever it was under heavy net load, no longer does so.

airo: Kill directly reference of netdev->priv

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.

In this driver, I don't simply use netdev_priv() to replace netdev->priv.

The reason is:
Pointer netdev->priv was changed in this driver, but it shouldn't.
Because the memory was allocated when alloc_netdev() and netdev->priv
should always point to that memory.

So I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv.
After replacing, both ai and ai->wifidev->ml_priv point to the same memory.

order to not hog system resources too much when faced with a rogue source
of rfkill input events.

The old rfkill-input code (before it was refactored) had such a limit in
place.  It used to drop new events that were past the rate limit.  This
behaviour was not implemented as an anti-DoS measure, but rather as an
attempt to work around deficiencies in input device drivers which would
issue multiple KEY_FOO events too soon for a given key FOO (i.e. ones that
do not implement mechanical debouncing properly).

However, we can't really expect such issues to be worked around by every
input handler out there, and also by every userspace client of input
devices.  It is the input device driver's responsability to do debouncing
instead of spamming the input layer with bogus events.

The new limiter code is focused only on anti-DoS behaviour, and tries to
not lose events (instead, it coalesces them when possible).

The transmitters are updated once every 200ms, maximum.  Care is taken not
to delay a request to _enter_ rfkill transmitter Emergency Power Off (EPO)

rfkill: add master_switch_mode and EPO lock to rfkill and rfkill-input

Add of software-based sanity to rfkill and rfkill-input so that it can
reproduce what hardware-based EPO switches do, blocking all transmitters
and locking down any further attempts to unblock them until the switch is
deactivated.

rfkill-input is responsible for issuing the EPO control requests, like
before.

While an rfkill EPO is active, all transmitters are locked to one of the
BLOCKED states and all attempts to change that through the rfkill API
(userspace and kernel) will be either ignored or return -EPERM errors.

The lock will be released upon receipt of EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON by
rfkill-input, or should modular rfkill-input be unloaded.

This makes rfkill and rfkill-input extend the operation of an existing
wireless master kill switch to all wireless devices in the system, even
those that are not under hardware or firmware control.

Since the above is the expected operational behavior for the master rfkill
switch, the EPO lock functionality is not optional.

Also, extend rfkill-input to allow for three different behaviors when it
receives an EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON input event.  The user can set which
behavior he wants through the master_switch_mode parameter:

master_switch_mode = 0: EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON just unlocks rfkill
controller state changes (so that the rfkill userspace and kernel APIs can
now be used to change rfkill controller states again), but doesn't change
any of their states (so they will all remain blocked).  This is the safest
mode of operation, as it requires explicit operator action to re-enable a
transmitter.

master_switch_mode = 1: EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON causes rfkill-input to
attempt to restore the system to the state before the last EV_SW
SW_RFKILL_ALL OFF event, or to the default global states if no EV_SW
SW_RFKILL_ALL OFF ever happened.   This is the recommended mode of
operation for laptops.

master_switch_mode = 2: tries to unblock all rfkill controllers (i.e.
enable all transmitters) when an EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON event is received.
This is the default mode of operation, as it mimics the previous behavior
of rfkill-input.

In order to implement these features in a clean way, the entire event
handling of rfkill-input was refactored into a single worker function.

Protection against input event DoS (repeatedly firing rfkill events for
rfkill-input to process) was removed during the code refactoring.  It will
be added back in a future patch.

Note that with these changes, rfkill-input doesn't need to explicitly
handle any radio types for which KEY_<radio type> or SW_<radio type> events
do not exist yet.

Code to handle EV_SW SW_{WLAN,WWAN,BLUETOOTH,WIMAX,...} was added as it
might be needed in the future (and its implementation is not that obvious),
but is currently #ifdef'd out to avoid wasting resources.

16 years agorfkill: export global states to rfkill-input

rfkill: export global states to rfkill-input

Export the the global switch states to rfkill-input.  This is needed to
properly implement KEY_* handling without disregarding the initial state.

16 years agorfkill: use killable locks instead of interruptible
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh [Thu, 9 Oct 2008 21:15:29 +0000 (18:15 -0300)]
rfkill: use killable locks instead of interruptible

Apparently, many applications don't expect to get EAGAIN from fd read/write
operations, since POSIX doesn't mandate it.

Use mutex_lock_killable instead of mutex_lock_interruptible, which won't
cause issues.
