[hermon] Reset device during probe()

2009-10-14T01:11:16+00:00

Some systems will retry their boot sequence in the event of a boot failure. On these systems, the second and subsequent boot attempts will fail to initialise the Hermon HCA. Fix by resetting the HCA during probe(). This incurs a one-second cost, but there seems to be no viable alternative. Originally-fixed-by: Itay Gazit

[pci] Add generic configuration space backup/restore facility

2009-10-14T01:06:23+00:00

Some devices can only be reset via a mechanism that also resets the card's PCI core, thus necessitating a backup and restore of all or part of the PCI configuration space across a reset.

[802.11] Support multicast hashing

2009-08-11T23:54:29+00:00

802.11 multicast hashing is the same as standard Ethernet hashing, so just expose and use eth_mc_hash(). Signed-off-by: Joshua Oreman

[802.11] Properly initialize autoassociation process

2009-08-11T23:31:34+00:00

The recent change to process_add() to detect duplicate process additions relies on the fact that all processes will be initialized using process_init_stopped() before being passed to that function. The autoassociation process was not initialized in this fashion, so process_add() erroneously detected it as a duplicate. Fix by using process_init_stopped() to initialize the autoassociation process instead of setting the step member directly. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[dhcp] Fall back to using the hardware address to populate the chaddr field

2009-08-11T23:27:08+00:00

For IPoIB, the chaddr field is too small (16 bytes) to contain the 20-byte IPoIB link-layer address. RFC4390 mandates that we should pass an empty chaddr field and rely on the DHCP client identifier instead. This has many problems, not least of which is that a client identifier containing an IPoIB link-layer address is not very useful from the point of view of creating DHCP reservations, since the QPN component is assigned at runtime and may vary between boots. Leave the DHCP client identifier as-is, to avoid breaking existing setups as far as possible, but expose the real hardware address (the port GUID) via the DHCP chaddr field, using the broadcast flag to instruct the DHCP server not to use this chaddr value as a link-layer address. This makes it possible (at least with ISC dhcpd) to create DHCP reservations using host declarations such as: host duckling { fixed-address 10.252.252.99; hardware unknown-32 00:02:c9:02:00:25:a1:b5; }

[netdevice] Allow the hardware and link-layer addresses to differ in size

2009-08-11T23:23:38+00:00

IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes represent anything relating to a "hardware address". The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address" field with the initial link layer address (as generated by register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).
