This patch "iwlwifi: do not use GFP_DMA in iwl_tx_queue_init" removes GFP_DMA from allocation tx command buffers. GFP_DMA allows allocation only for memory under 16M which causes allocation problems suspend/resume flows. Using kmalloc is temporal solution and some consistent/coherent allocation schema will be more correct. Since iwlwifi hardware supports 64bit address this solution should work on x86 (32 and 64bit) for now. This patch fixes memory freeing problem in the previous patch.

This patch fixes rx_chain computation. The code that adjusts number of rx chains to number supported by HW was missing. Miss configuration causes firmware error. Note: iwlwifi supports HW with up to 3 RX chains (2x2, 2x3, 1x2, and 3x3 MIMO). This patch also simplifies the whole RX chain computation.

This patch fixes the wrong use MIMO power save values. Our TX was configured with our MIMO power save values instead of peer's MIMO power save values, this may affect connectivity. The peer STA/AP may not sense our traffic at all as it doesn't have all RX chains opened.

Rx chain might change during power save transitions but it doesn't require sending Full-ROXN command to the firmware. Full-RXON requires reconnection to an AP and thus affects user experience. The patch avoids the Full-RXON by removing the rx_chain modification check in iwl_full_rxon_required function.

This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

Ever since commit 4c563f76 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held. If we do, we'll deadlock since we have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take it again. Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock is dropped.

Re-enable IP when the MTU gets back to a valid size. This patch just checks if the in_dev is NULL on a NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event and if MTU is valid (bigger than 68), then re-enable in_dev.

In case of error, the function xfrm_bundle_create returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR test should be deleted.

This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid() uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211. As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the kernel warning message. Pasted the kernel warning message for reference. kernel: ath0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:1b:11:60:7a:3d - assume out of range kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel: WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:136 local_bh_enable+0x3c/0xab() kernel: Pid: 1029, comm: ath9k Not tainted 2.6.27-rc4-wt-w1fi-wl kernel: kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<ffffffff802278d8>] warn_on_slowpath+0x51/0x77 kernel: [<ffffffff80224c51>] check_preempt_wakeup+0xf3/0x123 kernel: [<ffffffff80239658>] autoremove_wake_function+0x9/0x2e kernel: [<ffffffff8022c281>] local_bh_enable+0x3c/0xab kernel: [<ffffffffa01ab75a>] ath_rx_node_cleanup+0x38/0x6e [ath9k] kernel: [<ffffffffa01b2280>] ath_node_detach+0x3b/0xb6 [ath9k] kernel: [<ffffffffa01ab09f>] ath9k_sta_notify+0x12b/0x165 [ath9k] kernel: [<ffffffff802366cf>] queue_work+0x1d/0x49 kernel: [<ffffffffa018c3fc>] add_todo+0x70/0x99 [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffffa017de76>] __sta_info_unlink+0x16b/0x19e [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffffa017e6ed>] sta_info_unlink+0x18/0x43 [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffffa0182732>] ieee80211_associated+0xaa/0x16d [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffffa0184a1a>] ieee80211_sta_work+0x4fb/0x6b4 [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffff80469c58>] thread_return+0x30/0xa9 kernel: [<ffffffffa018451f>] ieee80211_sta_work+0x0/0x6b4 [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffff802362c2>] run_workqueue+0xb1/0x17a kernel: [<ffffffff80236be9>] worker_thread+0xd0/0xdb kernel: [<ffffffff8023964f>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e kernel: [<ffffffff80236b19>] worker_thread+0x0/0xdb kernel: [<ffffffff8023954a>] kthread+0x47/0x75 kernel: [<ffffffff80223121>] schedule_tail+0x18/0x50 kernel: [<ffffffff8020bc49>] child_rip+0xa/0x11 kernel: [<ffffffff80239503>] kthread+0x0/0x75 kernel: [<ffffffff8020bc3f>] child_rip+0x0/0x11 kernel: kernel: ---[ end trace e9bb5da661055827 ]--- Signed-off-by: Senthil Balasubramanian <senthilkumar@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Updating sc_keytype multiple times when groupwise and pairwise ciphers are different results in incorrect pairwise key type assumed for TX control and normal ping fails. This works fine for cases where both groupwise and pairwise ciphers are same. Also use mac80211 provided enums for key length calculation.

Jouni Malinen authored
debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures; usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost. Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future) that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

When multicasting the driver sets the number of group addresses using the count from the previous set multicast command. In general this means you have to set the multicast addresses twice to get the behaviour you want. If we were multicasting, and reduce the number of addresses we are multicasting to, then the driver would write uninitialised data from the stack into the group addresses to multicast to. Only write the multicast addresses we have specifically set. Signed-off-by: David Kilroy <kilroyd@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Nothing in linux/pim.h should be exported to userspace. This should fix the XORP build failure reported by Jose Calhariz, the debain package maintainer. Nothing originally in linux/mroute.h was exported to userspace ever, but some of this stuff started to be when it was moved into this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong. If we didn't provide these definitions for 10 years we can reasonably expect that applications defined this stuff locally or used GLIBC headers providing the protocol definitions. And as such the only result of this can be conflict and userland build breakage. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Use qdisc_root_sleeping_lock() instead of qdisc_root_lock() where appropriate. The only difference is while dev is deactivated, when currently we can use a sleeping qdisc with the lock of noop_qdisc. This shouldn't be dangerous since after deactivation root lock could be used only by gen_estimator code, but looks wrong anyway.

Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers). However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without extension headers. Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets. A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform software checksum calculation.
