      mac80211: proper IBSS locking · 7a17a33c
      Johannes Berg authored 
      IBSS has never had locking, instead relying on some
memory barriers etc. That's hard to get right, and
I think we had it wrong too until the previous patch.
Since this is not performance sensitive, it doesn't
make sense to have the maintenance overhead of that,
so add proper locking.

      mac80211: fix IBSS lockdep complaint · bc05d19f
      Johannes Berg authored 
      Bob reported a lockdep complaint originating in
the mac80211 IBSS code due to the common work
struct patch. The reason is that the IBSS and
station mode code have different locking orders
for the cfg80211 wdev lock and the work struct
(where "locking" implies running/canceling).

Fix this by simply not canceling the work in
the IBSS code, it is not necessary since when
the REQ_RUN bit is cleared, the work will run
without effect if it runs. When the interface
is set down, it is flushed anyway, so there's
no concern about it running after memory has
been invalidated either.

This fixes
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16419

Additionally, looking into this I noticed that
there's a small window while the IBSS is torn
down in which the work may be rescheduled and
the REQ_RUN bit be set again after leave() has
cleared it when a scan finishes at exactly the
same time. Avoid that by setting the ssid_len
to zero before clearing REQ_RUN which signals
to the scan finish code that this interface is
not active.

      mac80211: refuse shared key auth when WEP is unavailable · 9dca9c49
      Johannes Berg authored 
      When WEP is not available, we should reject shared
key authentication because it could never succeed.

      cfg80211: fix race between sysfs and cfg80211 · 5a652052
      Maxime Bizon authored 
      device_add() is called before adding the phy to the cfg80211 device
list.

So if a userspace program uses sysfs uevents to detect new phy
devices, and queries nl80211 to get phy info, it can get ENODEV even
though the phy exists in sysfs.

An easy workaround is to hold the cfg80211 mutex until the phy is
present in sysfs/cfg80211/debugfs.

AFAICT, none of these amount to real bugs.  But this reduces warning
spam from sparse w/o significantly affecting readability of the code (IMHO).
