Pre-allocate a skb at init time to be used for control messages to the HW if skb allocation fails. Tolerate failures to send messages initializing some memories at the cost of parity error detection for these memories. Retry sending connection id release messages if both alloc_skb(GFP_ATOMIC) and alloc_skb(GFP_KERNEL) fail. Do not bring the interface up if messages binding queue set to port fail to be sent.

RX buffer rings can be comprised of non-contiguous fixed size chunks of memory. The ring is given to the hardware as a pointer to a location that stores the location of the queue. If the queue is greater than 4096 bytes then the hardware gets a list of said pointers. This patch addes the necessary logic to generate the list if the queue size exceeds 4096. Signed-off-by:

Restore support for cards with MII-lacking PHYs as compared to removed pre-2.6.29 eepro100 driver: use full low-level MII I/O access abstraction by providing clean PHY-specific mdio_ctrl() functions for either standard MII-compliant cards, slightly special ones or non-MII PHY ones. We now have another netdev_priv member for mdio_ctrl(), thus we have some array indirection, but we save some additional opcodes for specific phy_82552_v handling in the common case.

rfkill currently requires a global lock within the rfkill_register() function, and holds that lock over calls to the set_block() methods. This means that we cannot hold a lock around rfkill_register() that we also require in set_block(), directly or indirectly. Fix cfg80211 to register rfkill outside the block locked by its global lock. Much of what cfg80211 does in the locked block doesn't need to be locked anyway. Reported-by:

When associated, but probing the AP because we detected beacon loss, we need to disable powersave to be able to receive the probe response. Change the code to do that by checking whether we're trying to probe when determining the possibility of going into PS, and recalculate the PS ability at the necessary spots. Signed-off-by:

We don't want to trigger moving between PS mode during scan, because then we will sometimes end up sending nullfunc frames during scan. We're supposed to only send one prior to scan and after scan. This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124277331319024 The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control. We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually go into PS because it's not associated.

This patch along with my previous patch in mac80211 "Fix the way ADDBA count..", fixes hang in tx when connected to an HT AP which rejects/times out on addba req. AGGR_ADDBA_PROGRESS should be cleared in aggr state when addba negotiation is terminated due to either addba response is timed out or addba is denied by the AP. With out clearing this bit, all frames are queued onto s/w queue for getting tx'd as aggr and will never be scheduled onto hw queue. Signed-off-by:

addba_req_num[tid] is supposed to have the count of consecutive addba request attempts on 'tid' which failed. This count is checked against a retry threshold (3 times) before starting the addba negotiation. This patch fixes the way this addba count is incremented/reset and thereby avoids indefinite addba attempts. Signed-off-by:

Alan Jenkins authored
rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core. Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call. We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi. Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon (see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt). Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav". Signed-off-by:

In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption is used. Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also fixes a problem where frames for that particular station could be reordered when some were still on the software queues and older ones are re-injected into the software queue after them.

This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code. In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs. However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for pending data frames. This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g. We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different in the mean time. But - as you guessed it - this simple approach stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation. Signed-off-by:

The minstrel rate controller periodically looks up rate indexes in a sampling table. When accessing a specific row and column, minstrel correctly does a bounds check which, on the surface, appears to handle the case where mi->n_rates < 2. However, mi->sample_idx is actually defined as an unsigned, so the right hand side is taken to be a huge positive number when negative, and the check will always fail. Consequently, the RC will overrun the array and cause random memory corruption when communicating with a peer that has only a single rate. The max value of mi->sample_idx is around 25 so casting to int should have no ill effects. Without the change, uptime is a few minutes under load with an AP that has a single hard-coded rate, and both the AP and STA could potentially crash. With the change, both lasted 12 hours with a steady load. Thanks to Ognjen Maric for providing the single-rate clue so I could reproduce this. This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12490 on the regression list (also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13000). Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by:

Also the delay in read path in case use_dummy_writes are not used is moved into the SPI host driver. Tested-by:
