brcmfmac: fix incorrect event channel deduction

2017-03-15T02:02:43+00:00

commit 8e290cecdd0178f3d4cf7d463c51dc7e462843b4 upstream.

brcmf_sdio_fromevntchan() was being called on the the data frame
rather than the software header, causing some frames to be
mischaracterized as on the event channel rather than the data channel.

This fixes a major performance regression (due to dropped packets). With
this patch the download speed jumped from 1Mbit/s back up to 40MBit/s due
to the sheer amount of packets being incorrectly processed.

rtlwifi: rtl8192c-common: Fix "BUG: KASAN:

commit 6773386f977ce5af339f9678fa2918909a946c6b upstream.

Kernels built with CONFIG_KASAN=y report the following BUG for rtl8192cu
and rtl8192c-common:

The problem is due to rtl8192ce and rtl8192cu sharing routines, and having
different layouts of struct rtl_pci_priv, which is used by rtl8192ce, and
struct rtl_usb_priv, which is used by rtl8192cu. The problem was resolved
by placing the struct bt_coexist_info at the head of each of those private
areas.

rtlwifi: Fix alignment issues

2017-03-12T05:41:50+00:00

commit 40b368af4b750863b2cb66a3a9513241db2f0793 upstream.

The addresses of Wlan NIC registers are natural alignment, but some
drivers have bugs. These are evident on platforms that need natural
alignment to access registers.  This change contains the following:
 1. Function _rtl8821ae_dbi_read() is used to read one byte from DBI,
    thus it should use rtl_read_byte().
 2. Register 0x4C7 of 8192ee is single byte.

ath9k: use correct OTP register offsets for the AR9340 and AR9550

2017-03-12T05:41:47+00:00

commit c9f1e32600816d695f817477d56490bfc2ba43c6 upstream.

This patch fixes the OTP register definitions for the AR934x and AR9550
WMAC SoC.

Previously, the ath9k driver was unable to initialize the integrated
WMAC on an Aerohive AP121:

| ath: phy0: timeout (1000 us) on reg 0x30018: 0xbadc0ffe & 0x00000007 != 0x00000004
| ath: phy0: timeout (1000 us) on reg 0x30018: 0xbadc0ffe & 0x00000007 != 0x00000004
| ath: phy0: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -5
| ath9k ar934x_wmac: failed to initialize device
| ath9k: probe of ar934x_wmac failed with error -5

It turns out that the AR9300_OTP_STATUS and AR9300_OTP_DATA
definitions contain a typo.

ath9k: fix race condition in enabling/disabling IRQs

2017-03-12T05:41:46+00:00

commit 3a5e969bb2f6692a256352649355d56d018d6b88 upstream.

The code currently relies on refcounting to disable IRQs from within the
IRQ handler and re-enabling them again after the tasklet has run.

However, due to race conditions sometimes the IRQ handler might be
called twice, or the tasklet may not run at all (if interrupted in the
middle of a reset).

This can cause nasty imbalances in the irq-disable refcount which will
get the driver permanently stuck until the entire radio has been stopped
and started again (ath_reset will not recover from this).

Instead of using this fragile logic, change the code to ensure that
running the irq handler during tasklet processing is safe, and leave the
refcount untouched.

ath10k: fix boot failure in UTF mode/testmode

2017-03-12T05:41:46+00:00

commit cb4281528b62207918b1e95827cad7527aa4dbaa upstream.

Rx filter reset and the dynamic tx switch mode (EXT_RESOURCE_CFG)
configuration are causing the following errors when UTF firmware
is loaded to the target.

Error message 1:
[ 598.015629] ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: failed to ping firmware: -110
[ 598.020828] ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: failed to reset rx filter: -110
[ 598.141556] ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: failed to start core (testmode): -110

Error message 2:
[ 668.615839] ath10k_ahb a000000.wifi: failed to send ext resource cfg command : -95
[ 668.618902] ath10k_ahb a000000.wifi: failed to start core (testmode): -95

Avoiding these configurations while bringing the target in
testmode is solving the problem.

rtlwifi: rtl_usb: Fix for URB leaking when doing ifconfig up/down

2017-02-26T10:10:52+00:00

commit 575ddce0507789bf9830d089557d2199d2f91865 upstream.

In the function rtl_usb_start we pre-allocate a certain number of urbs
for RX path but they will not be freed when calling rtl_usb_stop. This
results in leaking urbs when doing ifconfig up and down. Eventually,
the system has no available urbs.

iwlwifi: mvm: avoid crash on restart w/o reserved queues

2017-02-09T07:08:29+00:00

commit 03c902bff524e0cf664737a33f2365f7837040bf upstream.

When the firmware restarts in a situation in which any station
has no queue reserved anymore because that queue was used, the
code will crash trying to access the queue_info array at the
offset 255, which is far too big. Fix this by checking that a
queue is actually reserved before writing its status.
