This makes the b43 driver just automatically fall back to PIO mode when DMA doesn't work. The driver already told the user to do it, so rather than have the user reload the module with a new flag, just make the driver do it automatically. We keep the message as an indication that something is wrong, but now just automatically fall back to the hopefully working PIO case.

If authentication has already been performed when the WLAN interface is stopped, (sometimes) the ieee80211_work_purge would corrupt some ieee80211_work-structures. The outcome is this (cleaned up): [ 2252.398681] WARNING: at net/mac80211/work.c:995 ieee80211_work_purge [ 2252.466430] Backtrace: [ 2252.529266] (ieee80211_work_purge+0x0/0xcc [mac80211]) [ 2252.546875] (ieee80211_stop+0x0/0x4c0 [mac80211]) Additionally, one would get this, going on regarless of the WLAN interface state, going on forever: [ 2252.859985] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717525) [ 2253.055419] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717524) [ 2253.250610] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717523) [ 2253.446014] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717522) [ 2253.641357] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717521) Signed-off-by: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@nokia.com> Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

In "wireless: remove WLAN_80211 and WLAN_PRE80211 from Kconfig" I inadvertantly missed a line in include/linux/netdevice.h. I thereby effectively reverted "net: Set LL_MAX_HEADER properly for wireless." by accident. :-( Now we should check there for CONFIG_WLAN instead. Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently if a driver does not set hw.max_listen_interval a listen interval of 1 is negotiated with the AP. Thus, the AP could drop buffered frames for us after just one beacon interval which can easily happen with the current powersave and scan implementation. To avoid this issue increase the default interval to 5 which should be a reasonable safe default. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

While ath9k does not support RIFS yet, the ability to receive RIFS frames is currently enabled for most chipsets in the initvals. This is causing baseband related issues on AR9160 and AR9130 based chipsets, which can lock up under certain conditions. This patch fixes these issues by overriding the initvals, effectively disabling RIFS for all affected chipsets. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Acked-by: Luis R.

Quick fix for memory/module refcount leak. Reference count of listener instance never reaches 0. Start/stop of ulogd2 is enough to trigger this bug! Now, refcounting there looks very fishy in particular this code: if (!try_module_get(THIS_MODULE)) { ... and creation of listener instance with refcount 2, so it may very well be ripped and redone. :-) Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Clients will set their MTU to 1280 if they receive a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message with an MTU less than 1280. To allow encapsulating of packets over a 1280 link we should always accept packets with a size of 1280 for forwarding even if the path has a lower MTU and fragment the encapsulated packets afterwards. In case a forwarded packet is not going to be encapsulated a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG msg will still be send by ip6_fragment() with the correct MTU.

Disabling TSO can cause the dev_watchdog timer to be triggered because when TSO is disabled netif_tx_stop_all_queues is called. If the watchdog timer fires while the queues are stopped and traffic has not recently been sent on a paticular queue this is falsly identified as a hang and ndo_tx_timeout() is called. This is ocossionally seen during testing. This removes the netif_tx_stop_all_queues() it is not needed. The scheduler submits skb's with dev_hard_start_xmit(), this checks if netif_needs_gso and if so it calls dev_gso_segment. Disabling TSO will cause dev_hard_start_xmit() to do the gso processing. However ixgbe does not use the features flags to determine if it needs to use tso or not instead it uses skb->gso_size so ixgbe will process these frames correctly regardless of the netdev features flag.

The netif_wake_queue() is called correctly (i.e. only on !txfull condition) from net_tx(). So Unconditional call to the netif_wake_queue() here is wrong. This might cause calling of start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger tx-ring overflow.
