net: orinoco: add error handling for failed kmalloc().

2012-03-28T18:25:35+00:00

With flag 'GFP_ATOMIC', probability of allocation failure is more.
Add error handling after kmalloc() call to avoid null dereference.

drivers/net: Remove unnecessary k.alloc/v.alloc OOM messages

2012-01-31T21:20:21+00:00

alloc failures use dump_stack so emitting an additional
out-of-memory message is an unnecessary duplication.

Remove the allocation failure messages.

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (net & drivers/net)

2011-12-20T03:27:29+00:00

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

(Thanks to Joe Perches for suggesting coccinelle for 0/1 -> true/false).

orinoco: clear countermeasure setting on commit

2010-12-08T20:23:52+00:00

... and interface up.

In these situations, you are usually trying to connect to a new AP, so
keeping TKIP countermeasures active is confusing. This is already how
the driver behaves (inadvertently). However, querying SIOCGIWAUTH may
tell userspace that countermeasures are active when they aren't.

Clear the setting so that the reporting matches what the driver has
done..
