Hm, no, I didn't. I received an email from Justin Bronder but not from
Jaret Cantu. Justin's email did help but is still pretty high-level.
We need a clear understanding as to what is happening in the digital
layer and the driver to know how execution is getting into a block of
error handling code that should never be executed. Once we understand
that we can start thinking about what the best fix is.

I expect that it would help if he joins. After the holidays is fine -
I think many people are taking it easy for the next week or so, anyway.

I think it would help you if you split it off because the first two patches
have a good chance of being accepted but this one doesn't (yet). If you
separate the them, it will make it easier for Samuel to take the first two
(or he may take the first two anyway but its always good to make it as
easy maintainers as you can).

I actually do use incremental hashing later on. BPF currently
vmallocs() a big temporary buffer just so it can fill it and hash it.
I change it to hash as it goes.
I painted the bike shed the other way because I thought that crypto_
names should indicate that they're the versions compatible with the
crypto API, but I take your point about churn. Part of the reason I
didn't want to use crypto_sha256_update is because that function is
currently like this:
int crypto_sha256_update(struct shash_desc *desc, const u8 *data,
unsigned int len)
and I wanted to avoid churn. The sha256_update() functions scattered
all over were static, so I didn't worry about them.
I'm going to give this another try as a split-up series that tries to
avoid making any changes beyond simple function renames to the
drivers.

I tested it, albeit poorly. I wanted feedback on the API (thanks!)
and I figured I could more carefully check the implementation once the
API survives a bit of review. Since it looks like I have to rework
this, I'd need to re-test anyway.

s/very slightly/negligibly? There's an extra speedup from avoiding a
variable-length stack allocation, but that probably doesn't matter
much either.

I want to get sha256 right first. Once it's in good shape, making the

Agreed, and my model may not be quite right. It might have to be
something like:
if (arch_begin_sha256(len)) {
... do it with arch helpers...
arch_end_sha256();
} else {
... do it generically ...

Ugh, right. I clearly need to organize this change better to avoid
this kind of mistake.

If kmemdup fails, then wl->nvs_len will contain invalid non-zero size.
?
This probably should go as first in series, as it is bugfix?

Before this patch, driver generated random MAC address every time it

with fixed one, if provided.

I don't quite get where the advantage is supposed to be. Is it that
"use_eeprom" is set, but reading fails?
The only case where this helps is if wl1251_read_eeprom_mac() succeeds
but reads invalid address.

Is goto out here good idea? IMNSHO it is copy&paste bug, it should

Random bytes are read from kernel only if random MAC address is needed.
And in wl->mac_addr is always either invalid address or permanenent mac
address which will be used. Without patch in wl->mac_addr can be random
temporary address for some time...

No, goto is correct here. wl1251 cannot be initialized without NVS data.
And when fetching (from userspace) fails it is fatal error.

It is quite complicated. { 0x6d, 0x54 } (= 0x546d) in data represent
address 0x546c and content are data. You need to apply mask 0xfffe for
0x546d and you get address where data will be written (so 0x546c).

I'm thinking if checks is really needed. But probably moving it to
separate function is good idea.

Just for the record, digests will never ever be used to skip the
verification step, so I don't know why this idea even comes up
here (?) or is part of the changelog? As this will never be done
anyway, rather drop that part so we can avoid confusion on this?
Wrt untrusted programs, I don't see much of a use on this facility
in general for them. Something like a tail call map would quite
likely only be private to the application. And again, I really doubt
we'll have something like user namespace support in the foreseeable
future. Anyway, that said, I don't really have a big issue if you
want to switch to sha256, though.

I don't think so. The analysis and patch I proposed provides an explanation
of how we get into the seen endless loop, it provides a logical fix for it,
which has been reviewed by others and it has been tested extensively that it
resolves the issue, which was easily reproducible for the reporter and that
after the fix it never occurred again. The delta is absolutely simple and
really low risk. Given this function has not much changed over time, also
distros could pick it up that have a much older base kernel than current
stable ones. This initiated follow-up discussion we're having here in general
is dragging the focus away for everyone, and quite frankly I'm getting tired
of discussing it. I have stated my preferences, you have stated yours, and
we're only repeating ourselves in circles which isn't helpful in any way,
the discussion is not about some concrete bug in the logic to fix anymore
(otherwise please name it). Hence my proposal that everything else can wait
and be done in net-next.

Those spaces were actually left out purposely: The file in question (typhoon.c)
is missing those spaces between the statements (if, for, while) and the
following opening bracket pretty much always (except 2-3 times) and we figured
that it might be better to keep the coding style consistent since this might
aswell have been intended by the original author.

In a few cases the err-variable is not set to a negative error code if a
function call fails and thus 0 is returned instead.
It may be better to set err to the appropriate negative error code
before returning.

It is never, ever, appropriate to use the same exact Subject: line
text for two different changes.
Someone looking at "git shortlog" has no way to know what is different
between the two changes.
You must put care and time into constructing Subject: lines because
this text is critical for data mining and analysis done by both humans

You need to provide something more than an empty commit message.
Instead, the commit message must explain why this particular
sysctl should be considered for namespacification and what

Different namespaces might have different requirements to reuse

cases where different namespace applications are in place which

In addition to what DaveM said, your choise of the subject prefixes is too
wide -- it would seem that you're fixing all 3com drivers, while you're only
fixing typhoon. That "typhoon:" alone would have been an appropriate prefix.

This doesn’t work VFs [the PF has the RSS configuration object in their
case; They don't have it], which is fine as 'key' should never be set for
them [since you're adding bnx2x_get_rxfh_key_size() to ethtool ops
only for PFs]. But this probably still worth a comment, though.

The change you've applied in bnx2x_setup_rss() should affect here
as well, meaning the PF would copy the parameters into the PF's RSS
configuration object belonging to the VF from the parameter.
This change would cause the PF to configure the VF's RSS key
as all-zeros [as parameters were initially zeroed].

Responding to this patch as it provides a lot of context to discuss. As
you might have gathered from earlier discussions I am not a fan of using
user-space helper. I can agree that the kernel driver, wl1251 in this
case, should be agnostic to platform specific details regarding storage
solutions and the firmware api should hide that. However, it seems your
only solution is adding user-space to the mix and changing the api
towards that. Can we solve it without user-space help?
The firmware_class already supports a number of path prefixes it
traverses looking for the requested firmware. So I was thinking about
adding a hashtable in which a platform driver can add firmware which are
stored in the hashtable using the hashed firmware name. Upon a firmware
request from the driver we could check the hashtable before traversing
the path prefixes on VFS. The obvious problem is that the request may
come before the firmware is added to the hashtable. Just wanted to pitch
the idea first and hear what others think about it and maybe someone has
a nice solution for this problem. Fingers crossed :-p

With the firmware hashtable api on N900 a platform driver could
interpret the CAL data in the nand partition and provide it through the
firmware_class.

But on other devices that use wl1251, but for instance have no userspace
helper the request to userspace will fail (after 60 sec?) and try VFS
after that. Maybe not so nice. You should consider other device
configurations. Not just N900.

Arend
