To handle amsdu_8k capability, the PCI routine of this driver must allocate receive buffers of order 2. Under heavy load, this causes fragmentation of memory. The present code releases the current buffer before checking to see if a new one is availble. Recovery from allocation failures is not possible, which results in kernel panics. The fix is to reorder the code to check that a new buffer can be allocated before the old one is released. If not possible, the received frame is dropped and the old one is reused. Without this change, it is impossible to transfer a 2 GB file without a kernel panic.

In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for the SSID length before assigning the value correctly. Since the memory was just kzalloc'ed, the check was always failing and SSID with over 32 characters were allowed to go through. This was causing a buffer overflow when copying the actual SSID to the proper place. This bug has been there since 2.6.29-rc4.

While decoding received event packet from firmware, 4 bytes of interface header are already removed unconditionally. So for handling event only 4 more bytes needs to be pulled. This is achieved by changing event header length to 4. Almost all the events, except BA stream related and AMSDU aggregation control events, do not have the payload in their event skb. Such events handling depends only on the event ID. This event ID is the first four bytes of the event skb, which is copied to a separate variable before pulling the skb header. Hence event handling worked only for those events that didn't have payload in event skb. This patch fixes the broken event path of the events with payload in their event skb without harming existing working event path for the events without payload.

Some stack variables (name *ssid and *channel) are only used to define the size of the memory block that needs to be allocated for the request structure in the nl80211_trigger_scan() and nl80211_start_sched_scan() functions. This is unnecessary because the sizes of the actual elements in the structure can be used instead. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Commit "ath9k_htc: Fix AMPDU subframe handling" registered the maximum subframe limit of the driver with mac80211, which was used in ADDBA negotiation.

This adds a new generic gpio rfkill driver to support rfkill switches which are controlled by gpios. The driver also supports passing in data about the clock for the radio, so that when rfkill is blocking, it can disable the clock. This driver assumes platform data is passed from the board files to configure it for specific devices.

In ad-hoc mode, beacon timers are configured differently compared to AP mode, and (depending on the scenario) can vary enough to make the beacon tasklet not detect slot 0 based on the TSF. Since staggered beacons are not (and cannot be) used in ad-hoc mode, it makes more sense to just hardcode slot 0 here, avoiding unnecessary TSF reads and calculations.

cfg80211 scan code adds separate BSS entries if the same BSS shows up on multiple channels. However, sme implementation does not use the frequency when fetching the BSS entry. Fix this by adding channel information to cfg80211_roamed() and include it in cfg80211_get_bss() calls. Please note that drivers using cfg80211_roamed() need to be modified to fully implement this fix. This commit includes only minimal changes to avoid compilation issues; it maintains the old (broken) behavior for most drivers. ath6kl was the only one that I could test, so I updated it to provide the operating frequency in the roamed event.

This adds proper RCU annotations to the mesh path table code, and fixes a number of bugs in the code that I found while checking the sparse warnings I got as a result of the annotations. Some things like the changes in mesh_path_add() or mesh_pathtbl_init() only serve to shut up sparse, but other changes like the changes surrounding the for_each_mesh_entry() macro fix real RCU bugs in the code.

The locking in mesh_{mpath,mpp}_table_grow not only has an rcu_read_unlock() missing, it's also racy (though really only technically since it's invoked from a single function only) since it obtains the new size of the table without any locking, so two invocations of the function could attempt the same resize. Additionally, it uses synchronize_rcu() which is rather expensive and can be avoided trivially here. Modify the functions to only use the table lock and use call_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu().
