carl9170: Fix memory accounting when sta is in power-save mode.

2012-03-12T17:33:01Z

commit 992d52529d7840236d3059b51c15d5eb9e81a869 upstream. On Access Point mode, when transmitting a packet, if the destination station is in powersave mode, we abort transmitting the packet to the device queue, but we do not reclaim the allocated memory. Given enough packets, we can go in a state where there is no packet on the device queue, but we think the device has no memory left, so no packet gets transmitted, connections breaks and the AP stops working. This undo the allocation done in the TX path when the station is in power-save mode. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Cavallari Acked-by: Christian Lamparter Signed-off-by: John W.

ath9k_hw: prevent writes to const data on AR9160

2012-03-12T17:32:56Z

commit 9bbb8168ed3d8b946f9c1901a63a675012de88f2 upstream. Duplicate the data for iniAddac early on, to avoid having to do redundant memcpy calls later. While we're at it, make AR5416 < v2.2 use the same codepath. Fixes a reported crash on x86. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Reported-by: Magnus Määttä Signed-off-by: John W.

ath9k: stop on rates with idx -1 in ath9k rate control's .tx_status

2012-03-01T00:34:28Z

commit 2504a6423b9ab4c36df78227055995644de19edb upstream. Rate control algorithms are supposed to stop processing when they encounter a rate with the index -1. Checking for rate->count not being zero is not enough. Allowing a rate with negative index leads to memory corruption in ath_debug_stat_rc().

rt2800pci: fix spurious interrupts generation

2012-01-26T01:25:02Z

commit dfd00c4c8f3dfa1fd7cec45f83d98b2a49743dcd upstream. Same devices can generate interrupt without properly setting bit in INT_SOURCE_CSR register (spurious interrupt), what will cause IRQ line will be disabled by interrupts controller driver. We discovered that clearing INT_MASK_CSR stops such behaviour. We previously first read that register, and then clear all know interrupt sources bits and do not touch reserved bits. After this patch, we write to all register content (I believe writing to reserved bits on that register will not cause any problems, I tested that on my rt2800pci device). This fix very bad performance problem, practically making device unusable (since worked without interrupts), reported in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658451 We previously tried to workaround that issue in commit 4ba7d9997869d25bd223dea7536fc1ce9fab3b3b "rt2800pci: handle spurious interrupts", but it was reverted in commit 82e5fc2a34fa9ffea38f00c4066b7e600a0ca5e6 as thing, that will prevent to detect real spurious interrupts.

rt2800usb: Move ID out of unknown

2012-01-12T19:34:58Z

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. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Acked-by: Gertjan van Wingerde Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
