3815270b31 rt2x00: Disable powersaving for rt61pci and rt2800pci.
commit 93b6bd26b7 upstream.

We've had many reports of rt61pci failures with powersaving enabled.
Therefore, as a stop-gap measure, disable powersaving of the rt61pci
until we have found a proper solution.
Also disable powersaving on rt2800pci as it most probably will show
the same problem.

3196f989c5 orinoco: fix GFP_KERNEL in orinoco_set_key with interrupts disabled
commit 5b0691508a upstream.

orinoco_set_key is called from two places both with interrupts disabled
(under orinoco_lock). Use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL. Fixes following

7fcb55881e b43: avoid PPC fault during resume
commit c2ff581aca upstream.

The routine b43_is_hw_radio_enabled() has long been a problem.
For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register
B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43_status()
returns a value of 2 (B43_STAT_STARTED) (BUG 14181). Fixing that
results in Bug 14538 in which the driver is unable to reassociate
after resuming from hibernation because b43_status() returns 0.

The correct fix would be to determine why the status is 0; however,
I have not yet found why that happens. The correct value is found for
my device, which has PHY revision >= 3.

Returning TRUE when the PHY revision < 3 and b43_status() returns 0 fixes
the regression for 2.6.32.

This patch fixes the problem in Red Hat Bugzilla #538523.

ee6bfc69e6 e100: Fix broken cbs accounting due to missing memset.
commit 70abc8cb90 upstream.

Alan Stern noticed that e100 caused slab corruption.
commit 98468efddb changed
the allocation of cbs to use dma pools that don't return zeroed memory,
especially the cb->status field used to track which cb to clean, causing
(the visible) double freeing of skbs and a wrong free cbs count.

Now the cbs are explicitly zeroed at allocation time.

c4ae8aea88 iwlwifi: fix more eeprom endian bugs
commit b7bb1756cb upstream.

I've also for a long time had a problem with the
temperature calculation code, which I had fixed
by byte-swapping the values, and now it turns out
that was the correct fix after all.

Also, any use of iwl_eeprom_query_addr() that is
for more than a u8 must be cast to little endian,
and some structs as well.

Fix all this. Again, no real impact on platforms
that already are little endian.

df5d119f46 iwlwifi: fix EEPROM/OTP reading endian annotations and a bug
commit af6b8ee388 upstream.

The construct "le16_to_cpu((__force __le16)(r >> 16))" has
always bothered me when looking through the iwlwifi code,
it shouldn't be necessary to __force anything, and before
this code, "r" was obtained with an ioread32, which swaps
each of the two u16 values in it properly when swapping the
entire u32 value. I've had arguments about this code with
people before, but always conceded they were right because
removing it only made things not work at all on big endian
platforms.

However, analysing a failure of the OTP reading code, I now
finally figured out what is going on, and why my intuition
about that code being wrong was right all along.

It turns out that the 'priv->eeprom' u8 array really wants
to have the data in it in little endian. So the force code
above and all really converts *to* little endian, not from
it. Cf., for instance, the function iwl_eeprom_query16() --
it reads two u8 values and combines them into a u16, in a
little-endian way. And considering it more, it makes sense
to have the eeprom array as on the device, after all not
all values really are 16-bit values, the MAC address for
instance is not.

Now, what this really means is that all the annotations are
completely wrong. The eeprom reading code should fill the
priv->eeprom array as a __le16 array, with __le16 values.

This also means that iwl_read_otp_word() should really have
a __le16 pointer as the data argument, since it should be
filling that in a format suitable for priv->eeprom.

Propagating these changes throughout, iwl_find_otp_image()
is found to be, now obviously visible, defective -- it uses
the data returned by iwl_read_otp_word() directly as if it
was CPU endianness. Fixing that, which is this hunk of the
patch:

-               next_link_addr = link_value * sizeof(u16);
+               next_link_addr = le16_to_cpu(link_value) * sizeof(u16);

is the only real change of this patch. Everything else is
just fixing the sparse annotations.

Also, the bug only shows up on big endian platforms with a
1000 series card. 5000 and previous series do not use OTP,
and 6000 series has shadow RAM support which means we don't
ever use the defective code on any cards but 1000.

commit bc45a67079 upstream.

we see from http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2125
that power saving does not work well on 3945. Since then power saving has
also been connected with association problems where an AP deathenticates a
3945 after it is unable to transmit data to it - this happens when 3945
enters power savings mode.

Disable power save support until issues are resolved.

d5086b90c5 ath5k: fix SWI calibration interrupt storm
commit 242ab7ad68 upstream.

The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software
interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll()
instead of via a timer.

However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before
interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an
interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the
interval is actually negative.  As a result, the ISR will
arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then
rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a
softlockup at modprobe time.

Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval
is set before interrupts are active.  Another possible fix
is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine,
but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

b) for priv->curbssparams.ssid_len == 32, it writes back one byte too

This is a backport of upstream commit: e8c6342d989e241513baeba4b05a04b6b1f3bc8b

This patch fixes a bug in ath9k's tx status check, which
caused mac80211 to consider regularly transmitted unicast frames
as un-acked.

When checking the ts_status field for errors, it needs to be masked
with ATH9K_TXERR_FILT, because this field also contains other fields
like ATH9K_TX_ACKED.

Without this patch, AP mode is pretty much unusable, as hostapd
checks the ACK status for the frames that it injects.

e82a3a2db5 ath9k: Fix maximum tx fifo settings for single stream devices
This is a backport of upstream commit: f4709fdf68

Atheros single stream AR9285 and AR9271 have half the PCU TX FIFO
buffer size of that of dual stream devices. Dual stream devices
have a max PCU TX FIFO size of 8 KB while single stream devices
have 4 KB. Single stream devices have an issue though and require
hardware only to use half of the amount of its capable PCU TX FIFO
size, 2 KB and this requires a change in software.

Technically a change would not have been required (except for frame
burst considerations of 128 bytes) if these devices would have been
able to use the full 4 KB of the PCU TX FIFO size but our systems
engineers recommend 2 KB to be used only. We enforce this through
software by reducing the max frame triggger level to 2 KB.

Fixing the max frame trigger level should then have a few benefits:

  * The PER will now be adjusted as designed for underruns when the
    max trigger level is reached. This should help alleviate the
    bus as the rate control algorithm chooses a slower rate which
    should ensure frames are transmitted properly under high system
    bus load.

  * The poll we use on our TX queues should now trigger and work
    as designed for single stream devices. The hardware passes
    data from each TX queue on the PCU TX FIFO queue respecting each
    queue's priority. The new trigger level ensures this seeding of
    the PCU TX FIFO queue occurs as designed which could mean avoiding
    false resets and actually reseting hw correctly when a TX queue
    is indeed stuck.

  * Some undocumented / unsupported behaviour could have been triggered
    when the max trigger level level was being set to 4 KB on single
    stream devices. Its not clear what this issue was to me yet.

022fe0eb67 ath9k: fix processing of TX PS null data frames

When mac80211 was telling us to go into Powersave we listened
and immediately turned RX off. This meant hardware would not
see the ACKs from the AP we're associated with and hardware
we'd end up retransmiting the null data frame in a loop
helplessly.

Fix this by keeping track of the transmitted nullfunc frames
and only when we are sure the AP has sent back an ACK do we
go ahead and shut RX off.

For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register
B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43legacy_status()

the driver is unable to associate after resuming from hibernation unless
this routine returns 1. To satisfy both conditions, the routine is rewritten
to return TRUE whenever b43legacy_status() returns a value < 2.

599343ebd4 b44 WOL setup: one-bit-off stack corruption kernel panic fix
[ Upstream commit: e0188829cb ]

About 50% of shutdowns of b44 Ethernet adapter ends by kernel panic
with kernels compiled with stack-protector.

Checking b44_magic_pattern() return values, one call of
b44_magic_pattern() returns 127. It means, that set_bit(128, pmask)
was called on line 1509. It means that bit 0 of 17th byte of pmask was
overwritten. But pmask has only 16 bytes. Stack corruption happens.

It seems that set_bit() on line 1509 always writes one bit off.

The fix does not only solve the stack corruption, but also makes Wake

If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted
EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This
patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and
avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead
on real concrete issues.

If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM
feel free to apply this there too.

827d42c9ac mac80211: fix spurious delBA handling
Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211

which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up
changing the order in which things were done -- this was

and other parts were already present in the original

  Date:   Mon Jan 28 14:07:22 2008 +0200

      mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support

The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.

The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
race window where crashes could happen before the driver
accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.

For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
 1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
    about the session state; don't drop the lock

 2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
    even before the session was really started -- this is
    true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
    iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
    (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

generation of a random one down from the open function to
the probe function.

d5ccd67bb7 NET: smc91x: Fix irq flags
smc91x.h defines SMC_IRQ_FLAGS to be -1 when it wants the interrupt
flags to be taken from the resource structure.  However, d280ead
changed this to checking for non-zero resource flags.

Unfortunately, this means that on some platforms, we end up passing
'-1' to request_irq rather than the desired result.  Combine the two
conditions into one so that the IRQ flags are taken from the resource
if either SMC_IRQ_FLAGS is -1 or the resource flags specify an
interrupt trigger.

This restores network on at least the Versatile platform.

6c53b1b15e smsc9420: prevent BUG() if ethtool is called with interface down
This patch fixes a null pointer dereference BUG() if ethtool is used on
an smsc9420 interface while it is down, because the phy_dev is only
allocated while the interface is up.

cc098dc705 r8169: restore mac addr in rtl8169_remove_one and rtl_shutdown
The newer chipsets (all PCI-E) are known that they need full power cycle
(AC or battery removal) to reset MAC address to a  hardwired one. Previous
patch to address this problem loads the original MAC address from EEPROM.
But it brought other problem for which it is necessary to introduce a new
module parameter.
However, it might suffice to restore the initial MAC address before
shutdown/reboot/kexec and when removing the module.

dcfcb256cc hso: fix soft-lockup
Fix soft-lockup in hso.c which is triggered on SMP machine when
modem is removed while file descriptor(s) under /dev are still open:

  old version called kref_put() too early which resulted in destroying
  hso_serial and hso_device objects which were still used later on.

5d09e534bb netxen : fix BOND_MODE_TLB/ALB mode.
o Along with netdev->perm_addr, mac address will be
  maintained in device private structure.

o Device limitation: We need to set mac address when ever
  interface comes up.

In ALB/TAL mode, bonding driver calls set_mac for all slave with bond mac address.
But bonding driver set netdev->dev_addr field to its original value,
after enslaving interfaces.

When ever active slave changes, it swap dev_addr of inactive slave with active.
Yet it doesn't notify driver about change in netdev->dev_addr.

As netxen driver need to set mac addr when ever interface comes up,
it can't rely on netdev->dev_addr field. Specially in case of bonding mode ALB/TLB.
