commit 673f7786e205c87b5d978c62827b9a66d097bebb upstream.

In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42976, a system with driver
rtl8192se used as an AP suffers from "Out of SW-IOMMU space" errors. These
are caused by the DMA buffers used for beacons never being unmapped.

<title>rtlwifi: Preallocate USB read buffers and eliminate kalloc in read routine</title>

commit a7959c1394d4126a70a53b914ce4105f5173d0aa upstream.

The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to
acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When
_usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is
reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.
The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could
be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from
within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync()
by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and
allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.

commit 011afa1ed8c408d694957d2474d89dc81a60b70c upstream.

This reverts commit c1afdaff90538ef085b756454f12b29575411214.

Users have reported connection failures in 3.3.1 and suspend/resume
failures in 3.4-rcX. Revert this commit for now - PS IDLE can be
fixed in a clean manner later on.

commit 883a649b737cdbe3ede7e50f3f939fd706ed5c4e upstream.

This il-&gt;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.

<title>ath9k: fix max noise floor threshold</title>

commit 2ee0a07028d2cde6e131b73f029dae2b93c50f3a upstream.

Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The
assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help
de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous
interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are
collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too
much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips
specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the
connection stability in congested networks.

commit 643c61e119459e9d750087b7b34be94491efebf9 upstream.

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver
rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e2) has already been applied,
and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in
the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however,
the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started.

Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as well.

Without this, usbnet adjusts the MTU down to 1494 bytes, and the host is
