      ath9k: fix handling of rate control probe frames · 0299a50a
      Felix Fietkau authored 
      The ath9k aggregation code was already checking the rate control probe flag
to prevent starting an aggregate frame with a sampling rate. What was missing
was closing an aggregate before adding a probing frame to it.
Without that, rate control cannot have precise control over probing, which
delays using faster rates when the channel conditions improve.

      ath9k: fix crash in ath_update_survey_stats · 0845735e
      Felix Fietkau authored 
      If ah->curchan is uninitialized, the channel index is bogus, which leads
to invalid memory access when the cycle counters are updated.

      ath9k_hw: Fix TX carrier leakage for IEEE compliance on AR9003 2.2 · 0dfa6dbb
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored 
      This updates the initvals for the AR9003 2.2 chipsets. The initvals
are the initial register values we use for our registers upon hardware
reset. This synchs up the initvals to match what our latest recommendation
from our systems engineering team.

The description of changes in this update:

        Improves ability to support very strong Rx conditions.
        Enhances DFS support for AP-mode.
        Improves performance of Tx carrier leak calibration.
        Adds support for Japan channel 14 Tx filtering requirements.
        Improves Tx power accuracy.

Impact:

        Update required to address degraded throughput at very short range.
        Update required for AP-mode DFS certification.
        Update required to comply to IEEE Tx carrier leak specification.
        May not meet expected +/- 2 dB Tx power accuracy without update.

The most important fix here would be the TX carrier leakage required
to comply with IEEE 802.11 specifications. The group of changes have
been tested all together in one release.

      cfg80211: fix regression on processing country IEs · a171fba4
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored 
      The patch 4f366c5d:

	wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE

removed some complex intersection we were always doing between the AP's
country IE info and what we got from CRDA. When CRDA sent us back a
regulatory domain we would do some sanity checks on that regulatory
domain response we just got. Part of these sanity checks included
checking that we already had performed an intersection for the
request of NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE type.

This mean that cfg80211 was only processing country IEs for cases
where we already had an intersection, but since we removed enforcing
this this is no longer required, we should just apply the country
IE country hint with the data received from CRDA.

This patch has fixes intended for kernels >= 2.6.36.

      carl9170: fix memory leak issue in async cmd macro wrappers · 3d2f2cd0
      Christian Lamparter authored 
      This patch continues where the previous commit:
	"carl9170: fix async command buffer leak"
left off.

Similar to carl9170_reboot/carl9170_powersave, the
carl9170_async_regwrite* macros would leak the
temporary command buffer, if __carl9170_exec_cmd
fails to upload the command to the device.

      mac80211: don't sanitize invalid rates · 5f4e6b2d
      Christian Lamparter authored 
      I found this bug while poking around with a pure-gn AP.

Commit:
cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control

Added some sanity checks to ensure that each tx rate index
is included in the configured mask and it would change any
rate indexes if it wasn't.

But, the current implementation doesn't take into account
that the invalid rate index "-1" has a special meaning
(= no further attempts) and it should not be "changed".

      Tejun Heo authored 
      iee80211_hw->restart_work is the only work which uses the system
workqueue.  Instead of calling flush_scheduled_work() during
iee80211_exit(), cancel the work during unregistration.

This is to prepare for the deprecation and removal of
flush_scheduled_work().
