Due to my recent commit (ath9k: allow to load EEPROM content via firmware API) smatch complains about that the 'pdata' variable in 'ath9k_hw_init' can be NULL and it is dereferenced before checking that. That is absolutely correct. Check the 'pdata' variable before using it to avoid a NULL pointer dereference.

Accurate RX timestamp reporting is important for proper IBSS merging, mesh synchronization, and MCCA scheduling.

This can lead to a panic if the driver isn't ready to handle them. Since our interrupt line is shared, we can get an interrupt at any time (and CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ checks that even when the interrupt is being freed). If the op_mode has gone away, we musn't call it. To avoid this the transport disables the interrupts when the hw is stopped and the op_mode is leaving. If there is an event that would cause an interrupt the INTA register is updated regardless of the enablement of the interrupts: even if the interrupts are disabled, the INTA will be changed, but the device won't issue an interrupt. But the ISR can be called at any time, so we ought ignore the value in the INTA otherwise we can call the op_mode after it was freed. I found this bug when the op_mode_start failed, and called iwl_trans_stop_hw(trans, true). Then I played with the RFKILL button, and removed the module. While removing the module, the IRQ is freed, and the ISR is called (CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled). Panic.

We know that we have issues with the fw in the reclaim path. This is why iwl_reclaim doesn't complain too loud when it happens since it is recoverable. Somehow, the caller of iwl_reclaim however WARNed when it happens. This doesn't make any sense. When I digged into the history of that code, I discovered that this bug occurs only when we receive a BA notification. So move the W/A in the BA notification handling code where it was before.

The WARN_ON_ONCE() check for scan_request will not correctly detect a NULL pointer for scan_type == IWL_SCAN_NORMAL. Make it explicit that the check only applies to normal scans. Convert WARN_ON_ONCE to WARN_ON since priv->scan_request really _can't_ be NULL for normal scans. If it is then we should emit frequent warnings. This smatch warning led to scrutiny of iwlagn_request_scan(): drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/scan.c:894 iwlagn_request_scan() error: we previously assumed 'priv->scan_request' could be null (see line 792) Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@canonical.com> Reviewed-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The calibration data for devices w/o a separate EEPROM chip can be specified via the 'eeprom_data' field of 'ath9k_platform_data'. The 'eeprom_data' is usually filled from board specific setup functions. It is easy if the EEPROM data is mapped to the memory, but it can be complicated if it is stored elsewhere. The patch adds support for loading of the EEPROM data via the firmware API to avoid this limitation. Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

The 'ath9k_hw_nvram_read' function takes a 'struct ath_common *' as its first argument. Almost each of its caller has a 'struct ath_hw *' parameter in their argument list, and that is dereferenced in order to get the 'struct ath_common' pointer. Change the first argument of 'ath9k_hw_nvram_read' to be a 'struct ath_hw *', and remove the dereference calls from the callers. Also change the type of the first argument of the ar9300_eeprom_read_{byte,word} functions. Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

While AR_PHY_CCA_NOM_VAL_* does contain the expected internal noise floor for a chip measured in clean air, it refers to the lowest expected reading. Depending on the frequency, this measurement can vary by about 6db, thus causing a higher reported channel noise and signal strength. Factor in the 6db offset when converting internal noisefloor to channel noise. This patch makes the reported values more accurate for all chips without affecting NF calibration behavior.

D-Link DWA-125/B1 is a relatively new USB Wi-Fi adapter, using a Ralink chipset supported by the rt2800usb driver. Currently, to work around the problem (it's missing in all present kernel versions, up to and including 3.7.x), I had to add this to /etc/rc.local: echo 2001 3c1e >> /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id After that, the device works without problems. Been using it for over a week with no bugs in sight. The attached patch is trivial and simply adds the new USB ID to the list of devices handled by rt2800usb.

As described in the documentation of bcma_wflush16 in drivers/net /wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/types.h some PCIe controllers of Broadcom SoCs are broken. The PCIe controller on these SoCs are mostly used to connect some additional wifi device to the SoC and some of these wifi devices are supported by brcmsmac. For my BCM43224 connected to the broken PCIe controller of the BCM4718 I need an extra read after write in brcms_b_write_objmem() to prevent a Data bus error.

Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the probe routine to fail because the request to user space times out. The original fix for b43legacy (commit a3ea2c76) moved the firmware load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous firmware loading. This method is OK when b43legacy is built as a module; however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel. This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to hold the work queue until that file is available. The remaining firmware files are read synchronously. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Cc: Stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> (V3.4+) Signed-off-by: John W.
