iwlegacy: fix IBSS cleanup

2013-02-04T00:24:41+00:00

commit fa4cffcba9e13798ed7c6b8526b91b1631ecb53e upstream.

We do not correctly change interface type when switching from
IBSS mode to STA mode, that results in microcode errors.

iwlegacy: don't mess up the SCD when removing a key

2012-07-19T15:58:57+00:00

commit b48d96652626b315229b1b82c6270eead6a77a6d upstream.

When we remove a key, we put a key index which was supposed
to tell the fw that we are actually removing the key. But
instead the fw took that index as a valid index and messed
up the SRAM of the device.

This memory corruption on the device mangled the data of
the SCD. The impact on the user is that SCD queue 2 got
stuck after having removed keys.

    iwlwifi: always monitor for stuck queues

    If we only monitor while associated, the following
    can happen:
     - we're associated, and the queue stuck check
       runs, setting the queue "touch" time to X
     - we disassociate, stopping the monitoring,
       which leaves the time set to X
     - almost 2s later, we associate, and enqueue
       a frame
     - before the frame is transmitted, we monitor
       for stuck queues, and find the time set to
       X, although it is now later than X + 2000ms,
       so we decide that the queue is stuck and
       erroneously restart the device

Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

2012-04-05T22:30:34+00:00

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
 "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
  merge things.

  I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches.  I've been
  wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
  prospects for success of the project.  But after speaking with Pavel
  at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
  completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped
  complaining" stage regarding the net changes.  So I need to go back
  and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."

simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()

2012-04-05T22:25:50+00:00

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:


@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
-{
(
-if (i->i_private)
-f->private_data = i->i_private;
|
-f->private_data = i->i_private;
)
-return 0;
-}

@ has_open depends on open @
identifier fops;
identifier open.open_f;
@@
struct file_operations fops = {
...
-.open = open_f,
+.open = simple_open,
...
};

iwlegacy: fix BSSID setting

2012-03-26T19:07:24+00:00

Current commit 0775f9f90cdaf40fbf69b3192b3dddb2b3436f45
"mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag" exposed bug on iwlegacy,
that we do not set BSSID address correctly and then device was not able
to receive frames after successful associate.

On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate()
do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed.
I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures:

 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3)
 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3)
 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 3/3)
 wlan4: authentication with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe timed out

iwlegacy: do not nulify il->vif on reset

2012-03-26T19:07:22+00:00

This il->vif is dereferenced in different part of iwlegacy code, so do
not nullify it. This should fix random crashes observed in companion
with microcode errors i.e. crash in il3945_config_ap().

Additionally this should address also
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/common.c:4656 il_mac_remove_interface
at least one of the possible reasons of that warning.

net: add a truesize parameter to skb_add_rx_frag()

2012-03-25T17:29:58+00:00

skb_add_rx_frag() API is misleading.

Network skbs built with this helper can use uncharged kernel memory and
eventually stress/crash machine in OOM.

Add a 'truesize' parameter and then fix drivers in followup patches.
