      ath9k: Fix TX queue stuck issue. · d78f4b3e
      Senthil Balasubramanian authored 
      commit 86271e46 introduced a
regression that caused mac80211 queues in stopped state.

ath_drain_all_txq is called in driver flush which would reset
the stopped flag and the mac80211 queues were never started
after that. iperf traffic is completely stalled due to this issue.

Restart the mac80211 queues in driver flush only if the txqs were
drained.

      ath9k: Fix kernel panic caused by invalid rate index access. · 19b96750
      Senthil Balasubramanian authored 
      With the recent tx status optimization in mac80211, we bail out as
and and when invalid rate index is found. So the behavior of resetting
rate idx to -1 and count to 0 has changed for the rate indexes that
were not part of the driver's retry series.

This has resulted in ath9k using incorrect rate table index which
caused the system to panic. Ideally ath9k need to loop only for the
indexes that were part of the retry series and so simply use hw->max_rates
as the loop counter.

Pasted the stack trace of the panic issue for reference.

      orinoco: Clear dangling pointer on hardware busy · a3ad38e8

      On hardware busy the scan request pointer should be cleared, as higher
levels will release. This avoids a crash when that pointer is
erroneously used later.

      netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow · 961ed183
      Vasiliy Kulikov authored 
      'buffer' string is copied from userspace.  It is not checked whether it is
zero terminated.  This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul().
Changli Gao suggested to copy not more than user supplied 'size' bytes.

It was introduced before the git epoch.  Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are
root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be
relaxed to e.g. network admin user.

      netfilter: xtables: fix reentrancy · db856674
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      commit f3c5c1bf (make ip_tables reentrant) introduced a race in
handling the stackptr restore, at the end of ipt_do_table()

We should do it before the call to xt_info_rdunlock_bh(), or we allow
cpu preemption and another cpu overwrites stackptr of original one.

A second fix is to change the underflow test to check the origptr value
instead of 0 to detect underflow, or else we allow a jump from different
hooks.

      niu: Rename NIU parent platform device name to fix conflict. · a769f496
      David S. Miller authored 
      When the OF device driver bits were converted over to the platform
device infrastructure in commit 74888760
("dt/net: Eliminate users of of_platform_{,un}register_driver") we
inadvertantly created probing problems in the OF case.

The NIU driver creates a dummy platform device to represent the
board that contains one or more child NIU devices.  Unfortunately
we use the same name, "niu", as the OF device driver itself uses.

The result is that we try to probe the dummy "niu" parent device we
create, and since it has a NULL ofdevice pointer etc. everything
explodes:
