wimax: i2400m - prevent a possible kernel bug due to missing fw_name string

2012-04-27T17:16:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4eee6a3a04e8bb53fbe7de0f64d0524d3fbe3f80 ]

This happened on a machine with a custom hotplug script calling nameif,
probably due to slow firmware loading. At the time nameif uses ethtool
to gather interface information, i2400m->fw_name is zero and so a null
pointer dereference occurs from within i2400m_get_drvinfo().

wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use

2012-03-16T09:01:41+00:00

A driver start_xmit() method cannot free skb and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY,
since caller is going to reuse freed skb.

In fact netif_tx_stop_queue() / netif_stop_queue() is needed before
returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or you can trigger a ksoftirqd fatal loop.

In case of memory allocation error, only safe way is to drop the packet
and return NETDEV_TX_OK

Also increments tx_dropped counter

   Please, this kind of stuff rots forever and not using bool properly
   drives me crazy.

Joe Perches  gave me the spatch script:

	@@
	bool b;
	@@
	-b = 0
	+b = false
	@@
	bool b;
	@@
	-b = 1
	+b = true

I merely installed coccinelle, read the documentation and took credit.

wimax/i2400m: remove an unused variable

2011-12-16T20:57:03+00:00

"result" isn't used.  We ignore errors here because there is not much we
can do about them.

drivers/net: Add moduleparam.h to drivers as required.

2011-10-31T23:31:09+00:00

These files were using moduleparam infrastructure, but were not
including anything for it -- which is fine when module.h is being
implicitly included in all files, but that is going away.

drivers/net: Add export.h to files using EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE

2011-10-31T23:31:08+00:00

These were getting the macros from an implicit module.h
include via device.h, but we are planning to clean that up.

drivers/net: Add export.h to wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh.c

This relatively recently added file uses EXPORT_SYMBOL and hence
needs export.h included so that it is compatible with the module.h
split up work.

drivers/net: Add module.h to drivers who were implicitly using it

2011-10-31T23:31:07+00:00

The device.h header was including module.h, making it present for
most of these drivers.  But we want to clean that up.  Call out the
include of module.h in the modular network drivers.

PM / Runtime: Add macro to test for runtime PM events

2011-08-19T21:49:48+00:00

This patch (as1482) adds a macro for testing whether or not a
pm_message value represents an autosuspend or autoresume (i.e., a
runtime PM) event.  Encapsulating this notion seems preferable to
open-coding the test all over the place.
