Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy information can still overflow even though its size in 3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump" protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy. For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase the size only when needed, as described in the comments. As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we can only use 4k. Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Some mlme work structs are not cancelled on disassociation nor interface deletion, which leads to them running after the memory has been freed There is not a clean way to cancel these in the disassociation logic because they must be canceled outside of the ifmgd->mtx lock, so just cancel them in mgd_stop logic that tears down the station. This fixes the crashes we see in 3.7.9+. The crash stack trace itself isn't so helpful, but this warning gives more useful info: WARNING: at /home/greearb/git/linux-3.7.dev.y/lib/debugobjects.c:261 debug_print_object+0x7c/0x8d() ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: work_struct hint: ieee80211_sta_monitor_work+0x0/0x14 [mac80211] Modules linked in: [...] Pid: 14743, comm: iw Tainted: G C O 3.7.9+ #11 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81087ef8>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98 [<ffffffff81087fa4>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x41/0x43 [<ffffffff812a2608>] debug_print_object+0x7c/0x8d [<ffffffff812a2bca>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x95/0x1c3 [<ffffffff8114cc69>] slab_free_hook+0x70/0x79 [<ffffffff8114ea3e>] kfree+0x62/0xb7 [<ffffffff8149f465>] netdev_release+0x39/0x3e [<ffffffff8136ad67>] device_release+0x52/0x8a [<ffffffff812937db>] kobject_release+0x121/0x158 [<ffffffff81293612>] kobject_put+0x4c/0x50 [<ffffffff8148f0d7>] netdev_run_todo+0x25c/0x27e Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When the driver does not want a monitor mode VIF, no channel context is allocated for it.

Johannes Berg authored
The wiphy information is getting very close to being too much for a typical netlink dump message and adding the radar attributes to channels and interface combinations can push it over the limit, which means userspace gets no information whatsoever. Therefore, remove these again for now, no driver actually supports radar detection anyway and a modified userspace is required as well. We're working on a solution that will allow userspace to request splitting the information across multiple netlink messages, which will allow us to add this back.

Unload sequence for mwifiex PCIE driver is as follows: 1. Invoking cleanup module from kernel results into pci_unregister_driver 2. Kernel invokes PCIE remove() handler which disconnects all interfaces. 3. One step during disconnect is to clean PCIE TX rings. During this we read txbd_rdptr from FW. While loading driver next time, we see pci_enable_device() results into system freeze. This may have happened because we accessed PCI device after unregistering from bus driver. Removing this ioread() operation resolves this bug. Signed-off-by: Avinash Patil <patila@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

rtlwifi allocates both setup_packet and data buffer of control message urb, using shared kmalloc in _usbctrl_vendorreq_async_write. Structure used for allocating is: struct { u8 data[254]; struct usb_ctrlrequest dr; }; Because 'struct usb_ctrlrequest' is __packed, setup packet is unaligned and DMA mapping of both 'data' and 'dr' confuses ARM/sunxi, leading to memory corruptions and freezes. Patch changes setup packet to be allocated separately.

Fix this issue by making the TE removal synchronous as well, this means that we wait for the response to that command first, before there's any chance of sending a new one. Also, to detect such issues more easily in the future, add a warning to the notification handler that detects them.

Larry noticed (and bisected) that commit df881293 "cfg80211: Pass TDLS peer's QoS/HT/VHT information during set_station" broke secure connections. This is is the case only for drivers that don't support TDLS, where any kind of change, even just the change of authorized flag that is required for normal operation, was rejected now. To fix this, remove the checks. I have some patches that will add proper verification for all the different cases later.
