2012-07-12ath9k: fix dynamic WEP related regressionFelix Fietkau
commit bed3d9c0b71f9afbfec905cb6db3b9f16be29d4d upstream. commit 7a532fe7131216a02c81a6c1b1f8632da1195a58 ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag This commit used the rx key miss indication to detect packets that were passed from the hardware without being decrypted, however it seems that this bit is not only undefined in the static WEP case, but also for dynamically allocated WEP keys. This caused a regression when using WEP-LEAP. This patch fixes the regression by keeping track of which key indexes refer to CCMP keys and only using the key miss indication for those.

2012-07-12mwifiex: fix WPS eapol handshake failureStone Piao
commit f03ba7e9a24e5e9efaad56bd1713b994ea556b16 upstream. After association, STA will go through eapol handshake with WPS enabled AP. It's observed that WPS handshake fails with some 11n AP. The reason for the failure is that the eapol packet is sent via 11n frame aggregation. The eapol packet should be sent directly without 11n aggregation. This patch fixes the problem by adding WPS session control while dequeuing Tx packets for transmission.

2012-07-12mwifiex: fix 11n rx packet drop issueStone Piao
commit 925839243dc9aa4ef25305f5afd10ed18258a4ac upstream. Currently we check the sequence number of last packet received against start_win. If a sequence hole is detected, start_win is updated to next sequence number. Since the rx sequence number is initialized to 0, a corner case exists when BA setup happens immediately after association. As 0 is a valid sequence number, start_win gets increased to 1 incorrectly. This causes the first packet with sequence number 0 being dropped. Initialize rx sequence number as 0xffff and skip adjusting start_win if the sequence number remains 0xffff. The sequence number will be updated once the first packet is received.

commit 882b7b7d11d65e8eccce738f1ce97cdfdb998f9f upstream. When debugging is disabled, the event log functions aren't functional in the way that the debugfs file expects.

2012-07-04ath9k: Fix a WARNING on suspend/resume with IBSSMohammed Shafi Shajakhan
commit 2031b4c2b4904f7448ab9e4bc6b9bf16e32709f5 upstream. this patch is dependent on the patch "cfg80211: fix interface combinations" In ath9k currently we have ADHOC interface as a single incompatible interface. when drv_add_interface is called during resume we got to consider number of vifs already present in addition to checking the drivers 'opmode' information about ADHOC. we incorrectly assume an ADHOC interface is already present. Then we may miss some driver specific data for the ADHOC interface after resume. The above mentioned checks can be removed from the driver, as the patch 'cfg80211: fix interface combinations' ensures that if an interface type is not advertised by the driver in any of the interface combinations(via ieee80211_iface_combination) then it shall be treated as a single incompatible interface. Fixes the following warning on suspend/resume with ibss interface. ath: phy0: Cannot create ADHOC interface when other interfaces already exist.

2012-06-19iwlwifi: don't mess up the SCD when removing a keyEmmanuel Grumbach
commit d6ee27eb13beab94056e0de52d81220058ca2297 upstream. When we remove a key, we put a key index which was supposed to tell the fw that we are actually removing the key. But instead the fw took that index as a valid index and messed up the SRAM of the device. This memory corruption on the device mangled the data of the SCD. The impact on the user is that SCD queue 2 got stuck after having removed keys. The message is the log that was printed is: Queue 2 stuck for 10000ms This doesn't seem to fix the higher queues that get stuck from time to time.

commit f380f2c4a12e913356bd49f8790ec1063c4fe9f8 upstream. This driver disables interrupt just after requesting it and enables it later, after interface is up. However currently there is a time window between request_irq() and disable_irq() where if interrupt arrives, the driver oopses because it's not yet ready to process it. This can be reproduced by inserting the module, associating and removing the module multiple times. Eliminate this race by setting IRQF_NOAUTOEN flag before request_irq().

Shadow registers in the device are meant to allow the driver to update certain device registers without needing to wake up all components of the device. However, using this feature in the device causes communication between the driver and the device to become unreliable, resulting in host command timeouts.

2012-06-10iwlwifi: update BT traffic load states correctlyMeenakshi Venkataraman
commit 882dde8eb0d49ce0f853f8f4084dde56a21fe55f upstream. When BT traffic load changes from its previous state, a new LQ command needs to be sent down to the firmware. This needs to be done only once per change. The state variable that keeps track of this change is last_bt_traffic_load. However, it was not being updated when the change had been handled. Not updating this variable was causing a flood of advanced BT config commands to be sent to the firmware. Fix this.

2012-05-31rtlwifi: Preallocate USB read buffers and eliminate kalloc in read routineLarry Finger
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 5ef4acd58ab2abd0dd0c8e3cacd61a0dc5d73646 upstream. Newer devices have 20 (5000 series) or 30 (6000 series) hardware queues, rather than the 16 that 4965 had. This was added to the driver a long time ago, but improperly: the queue registers for the higher queues aren't just continuations of the registers for the first 16 queues, they are in other places. Therefore, the hardware would lock up when trying to activate queue 16 or above and the device would have to be restarted. Thanks goes to Emmanuel who identified this and told me how the queue programming should be done. Note that we don't use queues 20 and higher today and doing so needs more work than this.

commit dd447319895d0c0af423e483d9b63f84f3f8869a upstream. Driver incorrectly validates command completion: instead of waiting for a command to be acknowledged it continues execution. Most of the time driver gets acknowledge of the command completion in a tasklet before it executes the next one. But sometimes it sends the next command before it gets acknowledge for the previous one. In such a case one of the following error messages appear in the log: Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command. Failed to send ASSOCIATE: Already sending a command. Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command. After that you need to reload the driver to get it working again.

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 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.

2012-03-23iwl3945: fix possible il->txq NULL pointer dereference in delayed worksStanislaw Gruszka
commit 210787e82a0ac1ffb5d7be1c796f0c51050849ad upstream. On il3945_down procedure we free tx queue data and nullify il->txq pointer. After that we drop mutex and then cancel delayed works. There is possibility, that after drooping mutex and before the cancel, some delayed work will start and crash while trying to send commands to the device. For example, here is reported crash in il3945_bg_reg_txpower_periodic(): https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42766#c10 Patch fix problem by adding il->txq check on works that send commands, hence utilize tx queue.
