commit 8b0162a3dc5c30e862b7a73da29e32de3170f5e4 upstream.

Noise floor calibration occasionally fails on Atheros hardware.
This is not fatal and can happen if there's simply too much
noise on the air. Ignoring the calibration error is the right
thing to do here, because when the error is ignored, the hardware
will still work, whereas if the error causes the driver to bail out
of a bigger configuration function and does not configure the tx
queues or the IMR (as is the case in reset.c), the hw no longer
works properly until the next reset.

This enables beacons to come through on STA/IBSS.
It should fix sporadic connection issues. Right now
mac80211 expect beacons so give it beacons.

commit f1bc4ac61f2c08515afd80c6dc3962aa6d0b138b upstream.

Previously we allocate Rx SKB with GFP_ATOMIC flag. This is because we need
to hold a spinlock to protect the two rx_used and rx_free lists operation
in the rxq.

	spin_lock();
	...
	element = rxq->rx_used.next;
	element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_ATOMIC);
	list_del(element);
	list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free);
	...
	spin_unlock();

After spliting the rx_used delete and rx_free insert into two operations,
we don't require the skb allocation in an atomic context any more (the
function itself is scheduled in a workqueue).

	spin_lock();
	...
	element = rxq->rx_used.next;
	list_del(element);
	...
	spin_unlock();
	...
	element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_KERNEL);
	...
	spin_lock()
	...
	list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free);
	...
	spin_unlock();

This patch should fix the "iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers" warning
we see recently.

This patch fixes a segfault in ppp_shutdown_interface() and
ppp_destroy_interface() when a PPP connection is closed. I bisected
the problem to the following commit:

    netdevice ppp: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv

    1. Use netdev_priv(dev) to replace dev->priv.
    2. Alloc netdev's private data by alloc_netdev().

The original ppp_generic code treated the netdev and struct ppp as
independent data structures which were freed separately. In moving the
ppp struct into the netdev, it is now possible for the private data to
be freed before the call to ppp_shutdown_interface(), which is bad.

The kfree(ppp) in ppp_destroy_interface() is also wrong; presumably
ppp hasn't worked since the above commit.

The following patch fixes both problems.

kernel BUG at drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c:165!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

How?

mdiobus_alloc() sets bus->state = MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED.

mdiobus_register() sets bus->state = MDIOBUS_REGISTERED but then can
   fail (mdiobus_scan()) returning an error to the caller.

The caller aborts correctly with mdiobus_free() which does:
        if (bus->state == MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED) {
                kfree(bus);
                return;
        }

        BUG_ON(bus->state != MDIOBUS_UNREGISTERED);

The enc28j60 driver reads incoming packets in the process (workqueue) context,
not in a tasklet or the interrupt context.  Thus, we should use netif_rx_ni()
to deliver those packets to the networking layer, instead of netif_rx(). This
way incoming packets don't wait in the incoming queue for the next IRQ to be
serviced.
