iwlagn: fix (remove) use of PAGE_SIZE

2012-01-12T19:29:26+00:00

commit 106671369e6d046c0b3e1e72b18ad6dd9cb298b0 upstream.

The ICT code erroneously uses PAGE_SIZE. The bug
is that PAGE_SIZE isn't necessarily 4096, so on
such platforms this code will not work correctly
as we'll try to attempt to read an index in the
table that the device never wrote, it always has
4096-byte pages.

Additionally, the manual alignment code here is
unnecessary -- Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt
states:
  The cpu return address and the DMA bus master address are both
  guaranteed to be aligned to the smallest PAGE_SIZE order which
  is greater than or equal to the requested size.  This invariant
  exists (for example) to guarantee that if you allocate a chunk
  which is smaller than or equal to 64 kilobytes, the extent of the
  buffer you receive will not cross a 64K boundary.

Just use appropriate new constants and get rid of
the alignment code.

iwlagn: fix TID use bug

2012-01-12T19:29:25+00:00

commit 9a215e40d70ae63762963ab3ccc7f31dd966dc6a upstream.

The driver everywhere uses max TID count as 9,
which is wrong, it should be 8.

I think the reason it uses 9 here is off-by-one
confusion by whoever wrote this. We do use the
value IWL_MAX_TID_COUNT for "not QoS/no TID"
but that is completely correct even if it is 8
and not 9 since 0-7 are only valid.

As a side effect, this fixes the following bug:

wl12xx: Check buffer bound when processing nvs data

commit f6efe96edd9c41c624c8f4ddbc4930c1a2d8f1e1 upstream.

An nvs with malformed contents could cause the processing of the
calibration data to read beyond the end of the buffer. Prevent this
from happening by adding bound checking.

libertas: clean up scan thread handling

2012-01-12T19:29:20+00:00

commit afbca95f95f2bf7283a72670c24c1f6de00b1cb5 upstream.

The libertas scan thread expects priv->scan_req to be non-NULL.  In theory,
it should always be set.  In practice, we've seen the following oops:

[ 8363.067444] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004

While I've not found a smoking gun, there are two places that raised red flags
for me.  The first is in _internal_start_scan, when we queue up a scan; we
first queue the worker, and then set priv->scan_req.  There's theoretically
a 50mS delay which should be plenty, but doing things that way just seems
racy (and not in the good way).

The second is in the scan worker thread itself.  Depending on the state of
priv->scan_channel, we cancel pending scan runs and then requeue a run in
300mS.  We then send the scan command down to the hardware, sleep, and if
we get scan results for all the desired channels, we set priv->scan_req to
NULL.  However, it that's happened in less than 300mS, what happens with
the pending scan run?

This patch addresses both of those concerns.  With the patch applied, we
have not seen the oops in the past two weeks.

rt2800usb: Move ID out of unknown

2012-01-12T19:29:18+00:00

commit 3f81f8f1524ccca24df1029b0cf825ecef5e5cdc upstream.

Testing on the openSUSE wireless forum has shown that a Linksys
WUSB54GC v3 with USB ID 1737:0077 works with rt2800usb when the ID is
written to /sys/.../new_id. This ID can therefore be moved out of UNKNOWN.

mwifiex: fix crash during simultaneous scan and connect

2012-01-03T19:40:45+00:00

If 'iw connect' command is fired when driver is already busy in
serving 'iw scan' command, ssid specific scan operation for connect
is skipped. In this case cmd wait queue handler gets called with no
command in queue (i.e. adapter->cmd_queued = NULL).

This patch adds a NULL check in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete()
routine to fix crash observed during simultaneous scan and assoc
operations.
