When we remove a key, we put a key index which was supposed to tell the fw that we are actually removing the key. But instead the fw took that index as a valid index and messed up the SRAM of the device. This memory corruption on the device mangled the data of the SCD. The impact on the user is that SCD queue 2 got stuck after having removed keys.

This is iwlegacy version of: commit 342bbf3f Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Sun Mar 4 08:50:46 2012 -0800 iwlwifi: always monitor for stuck queues If we only monitor while associated, the following can happen: - we're associated, and the queue stuck check runs, setting the queue "touch" time to X - we disassociate, stopping the monitoring, which leaves the time set to X - almost 2s later, we associate, and enqueue a frame - before the frame is transmitted, we monitor for stuck queues, and find the time set to X, although it is now later than X + 2000ms, so we decide that the queue is stuck and erroneously restart the device Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

On rt2x00_dmastart() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX and on rt2x00_dmadone() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX_DONE. So entries between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX are those we currently process in the hardware. Entries between Q_INDEX and Q_INDEX_DONE are those we can submit to the hardware. According to that fix rt2x00usb_kick_queue(), as we need to submit RX entries that are not processed by the hardware. It worked before only for empty queue, otherwise was broken. Note that for TX queues indexes ordering are ok. We need to kick entries that have filled skb, but was not submitted to the hardware, i.e. started from Q_INDEX_DONE and have ENTRY_DATA_PENDING bit set. From practical standpoint this fixes RX queue stall, usually reproducible in AP mode, like for example reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828824Reported-and-tested-by: Franco Miceli <fmiceli@plan.ceibal.edu.uy> Reported-and-tested-by: Tom Horsley <horsley1953@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

If association failed due to internal error (e.g. no supported rates IE), we call ieee80211_destroy_assoc_data() with assoc=true, while we actually reject the association. This results in the BSSID not being zeroed out. After passing assoc=false, we no longer have to call sta_info_destroy_addr() explicitly. While on it, move the "associated" message after the assoc_success check.

As we don't provide custom regulatory rules to cfg80211, "chan->max_power" remains uninitialized (0dbm) and "chan->max_reg_power" will contain maximum power for a channel extracted from regulatory rules provided by CRDA; hence use "chan->max_reg_power" in reg_notifier handler instead of "chan->max_power" to set max_power in firmware.

We miss to wakeup main thread after adding command to cmd pending queue at follwing places. These commands are handled later when main thread is woken up for handling an interrupt for sleep event from firmware. This adds worst case delay of 50msec. 1) We don't wakeup main thread when asynchronous command is added to cmd pending queue. Move queue_work() call from mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() to mwifiex_send_cmd_async() to wakeup main thread for sync as well as async commands. 2) Scan operation is triggered due to following reasons a) request from user (ex. "iw scan" command) b) Scan performed by driver internally. In first case main thread is woken up when first scan command is queued in cmd pending queue (we don't need to wakeup main thread for subsequent scan commands, because they are queued in scan command response handler), but it is not done for second case. queue_work() is moved inside mwifiex_scan_networks() to handle both the cases.

ath9k_ani_reset (which is called at reset time) uses a state variable ani->update_ani to prevent the ANI noise immunity state on the operating channel from being overwritten by background scans. Unfortunately this is also being set for AP mode, since it's mixed with code that is only supposed to change the default settings after a reset. In AP mode this has the side effect of having ANI run, but being unable to change its runtime noise immunity level, making it effectively useless. Fix this by getting rid of ani->update_ani and passing a parameter to ath9k_hw_set_ofdm_nil and ath9k_hw_set_cck_nil instead.

Every now and then, after resuming from suspend, the iwlegacy driver prints iwl4965 0000:03:00.0: Queue 2 stuck for 2000 ms. iwl4965 0000:03:00.0: On demand firmware reload I have no idea what causes these errors. But the code currently uses wd_timeout in the first error. wd_timeout will generally be set at IL_DEF_WD_TIMEOUT (ie, 2000). Perhaps printing for how long the queue was actually stuck can clarify the cause of these errors. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211 adds stations in HT IBSS as soon as a frame comes by, even if the HT capabilities are not known yet (they are often received later, e.g. in beacons). So far, ampdu factor/density are only calculated when the station is initially added. This patch changes this to update ampdu factor/density settings when starting a blockack session. Using this patch, we had performance boosts from 60 to 150 MBit/s between two 2x2 Atheros devices in 5 GHz HT IBSS mode.
