      net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks · a57de0b4
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
      receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
      to wrap the memory barrier.
      
      Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
      The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
      and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.
      
      CPU1                         CPU2
      
      sys_select                   receive packet
        ...                        ...
        __add_wait_queue           update tp->rcv_nxt
        ...                        ...
        tp->rcv_nxt check          sock_def_readable
        ...                        {
        schedule                      ...
                                      if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                              wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                      ...
                                   }
      
      If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
      rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.
      
      Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
      passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
      tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
      In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
      waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.
      
      The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
      cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
      endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
      socket.
      
      Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:

      mac80211: minstrel: avoid accessing negative indices in rix_to_ndx() · 3938b45c
      Luciano Coelho authored
      If rix is not found in mi->r[], i will become -1 after the loop.  This value
      is eventually used to access arrays, so we were accessing arrays with a
      negative index, which is obviously not what we want to do.  This patch fixes
      this potential problem.

      ath9k: Fix leak in tx descriptor · cbfe89c6
      Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan authored
      When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the
      last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it.
      If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal
      reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding
      descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the
      following two issues.
      
      1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer
      due to shortage in tx desc.
      
      2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to
      update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame
      associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in
      the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw().
      
      This patch fixes these two issues.

      than other users of the FEC driver. And its definition of the

      The fec interface cannot transmit data with the old value.
