commit 574e02abaf816b582685805f0c1150ca9f1f18ee upstream.
In commit b0302ab, the rtlwifi family of drivers was converted to use
asynchronous firmware loading. Unfortumately, the implementation was
racy, and the ieee80211 routines could be started before rtl_init_core()
was called to setup the data.
This patch fixes the bug noted in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43187.

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 b0302aba812bcc39291cdab9ad7e37008f352a91 upstream.
This patch addresses a kernel bugzilla report and two recent mail threads.
The kernel bugzilla report is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42632,
which reports a udev timeout on boot.
The first mail thread, which was on LKML (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/
linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html) was for a WARNING that occurs after a
suspend/resume cycle for rtl8192cu.
The scond mail thread (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132655490826766&w=2)
concerned changes in udev that break drivers that delay while firmware is loaded
on modprobe.
This patch converts all rtlwifi-based drivers to use the asynchronous firmware
loading mechanism. Drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu and rtl8192de share a common
callback routine. Driver rtl8192se needs different handling of the firmware,
thus it has its own code.

commit 76a92be537f1c8c259e393632301446257ca3ea9 upstream.
In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771656, a kernel bug was
triggered due to a failed skb allocation that was not checked. This event
lead to an audit of all memory allocations in the complete rtlwifi family
of drivers. This patch fixes the rest.

drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/usb.c: In function ‘_usb_read_sync’:
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/usb.c:102:6: warning: ‘status’ may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/usb.c:102:6: note: ‘status’ was declared here
My compiler is dumb, but better to eliminate the warning than to have
anyone waste time evaluating this again...

Driver rtlwifi fails on a big-endian host.
These changes have been tested on a Mac PowerBook G4, which has
a PPC processor.
Although this patch touches some of the code that will affect endian
issues on PCI hardware through drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192se, and
rtl8192de, these have not been tested due to lack of suitable hardware.

Driver rtl8192cu writes the firmware with 32-bit asynchronous writes. This
design is OK for USB 2.0 adapters, but the current implementation of
xhcu-hcd has a limited ring size, which is exceeded. By converting to
synchronous block writes, this error is avoided.

These were getting the macros from an implicit module.h

drivers/net: Add export.h to wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh.c
This relatively recently added file uses EXPORT_SYMBOL and hence
needs export.h included so that it is compatible with the module.h
split up work.
