iwlegacy: don't mess up the SCD when removing a key

2012-07-09T19:01:03Z

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.

iwlegacy: always monitor for stuck queues

2012-07-09T19:01:02Z

This is iwlegacy version of: commit 342bbf3fee2fa9a18147e74b2e3c4229a4564912 Author: Johannes Berg Date: Sun Mar 4 08:50:46 2012 -0800 iwlwifi: always monitor for stuck queues If we only monitor while associated, the following can happen: - we're associated, and the queue stuck check runs, setting the queue "touch" time to X - we disassociate, stopping the monitoring, which leaves the time set to X - almost 2s later, we associate, and enqueue a frame - before the frame is transmitted, we monitor for stuck queues, and find the time set to X, although it is now later than X + 2000ms, so we decide that the queue is stuck and erroneously restart the device Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: John W.

rt2x00usb: fix indexes ordering on RX queue kick

2012-07-09T19:01:02Z

On rt2x00_dmastart() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX and on rt2x00_dmadone() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX_DONE. So entries between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX are those we currently process in the hardware. Entries between Q_INDEX and Q_INDEX_DONE are those we can submit to the hardware. According to that fix rt2x00usb_kick_queue(), as we need to submit RX entries that are not processed by the hardware. It worked before only for empty queue, otherwise was broken. Note that for TX queues indexes ordering are ok. We need to kick entries that have filled skb, but was not submitted to the hardware, i.e. started from Q_INDEX_DONE and have ENTRY_DATA_PENDING bit set. From practical standpoint this fixes RX queue stall, usually reproducible in AP mode, like for example reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828824 Reported-and-tested-by: Franco Miceli Reported-and-tested-by: Tom Horsley Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: John W.

net: dont use __netdev_alloc_skb for bounce buffer

2012-07-09T06:52:27Z

commit a1c7fff7e1 (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) broke b44 on some 64bit machines. It appears b44 and b43 use __netdev_alloc_skb() instead of alloc_skb() for their bounce buffers. There is no need to add an extra NET_SKB_PAD reservation for bounce buffers : - In TX path, NET_SKB_PAD is useless - In RX path in b44, we force a copy of incoming frames if GFP_DMA allocations were needed.

John Linville says: ==================== Amitkumar Karwar gives us two mwifiex fixes: one fixes some skb manipulations when handling some event messages; and another that does some similar fixing on an error path. Avinash Patil gives us a fix for for a memory leak in mwifiex. Dan Rosenberg offers an NFC NCI fix to enforce some message length limits to prevent buffer overflows. Eliad Peller provides a mac80211 fix to prevent some frames from being built with an invalid BSSID. Eric Dumazet sends an NFC fix to prevent a BUG caused by a NULL pointer dereference. Felix Fietkau has an ath9k fix for a regression causing LEAP-authenticated connection failures. Johannes Berg provides an iwlwifi fix that eliminates some log SPAM after an authentication/association timeout. He also provides a mac80211 fix to prevent incorrectly addressing certain action frames (and in so doing, to comply with the 802.11 specs). Larry Finger provides a few USB IDs for the rtl8192cu driver -- should be harmless. Panayiotis Karabassis provices a one-liner to fix kernel bug 42903 (a system freeze). Randy Dunlap provides a one-line Kconfig change to prevent build failures with some configurations. Stone Piao provides an mwifiex sequence numbering fix and a fix to prevent mwifiex from attempting to include eapol frames in an aggregation frame. Finally, Tom Hughes provides an ath9k fix for a NULL pointer dereference. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ath9k: fix panic caused by returning a descriptor we have queued for reuse

2012-06-27T18:48:13Z

Commit 3a2923e83c introduced a bug when a corrupt descriptor is encountered - although the following descriptor is discarded and returned to the queue for reuse the associated frame is also returned for processing.
