      ath5k: fix regression in tx status processing · 7ede612f
      Felix Fietkau authored
      The regression was introduced in the following commit:
      
      0967e01e
      "ath5k: make use of the new rate control API"
      
      ath5k_tx_frame_completed saves the intended per-rate retry counts before
      they are cleared by ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status, however at this
      point the information in info->status.rates is incomplete.
      
      This causes significant throughput degradation and excessive packet loss
      on links where high bit rates don't work properly.
      
      Move the copy from bf->rates a few lines up to ensure that the saved
      retry counts are updated, and that they are really cleared in
      info->status.rates after the call to ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status.

      iwlwifi: dvm: don't override mac80211's queue setting · f6b12952
      Emmanuel Grumbach authored
      Since we set IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL, we can let
      mac80211 do the queue assignement and don't need to
      override its decisions.
      While reassiging the same values is harmless of course,
      it triggered  a WARNING when iwlwifi and mac80211 came
      to different conclusions. This happened when mac80211 set
      IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM, but didn't route the
      packet to the cab_queue because no stations were asleep.
      
      iwlwifi should not override mac80211's decicions for
      offchannel packets and packets to  be sent after DTIM,
      but it should override mac80211's decision for AMPDUs
      since we have a special queue for them. So for AMPDU,
      we still override info->hw_queue by the AMPDU queue.
      
      This avoids:

      mac80211: disable WMM with invalid parameters · 095d81ce
      Johannes Berg authored
      Some APs (notably a Sitecom WL-153 v1 with firmware 1.45) are sending
      invalid WMM parameters setting AIFSN, ECWmin and ECWmax to zero. The
      spec mandates that the value of AIFSN is at least 2, and some cards
      (e.g. Intel with the iwldvm driver) can't transmit when the invalid
      QoS parameters are actually uploaded to the firmware.
      
      Since there's little chance of being able to guess the values that
      the AP actually meant, disable WMM if such an invalid case is found.
      Since ECWmin/ECWmax are allowed to be zero, only verify AIFSN >= 2
      and ECWmin <= ECWmax.

      cfg80211: fix sysfs registration race · aa5f66d5
      Johannes Berg authored
      My locking rework/race fixes caused a regression in the
      registration, causing uevent notifications for wireless
      devices before the device is really fully registered and
      available in nl80211.
      
      Fix this by moving the device_add() under rtnl and move
      the rfkill to afterwards (it can't be under rtnl.)

      bcma: make bcma_core_pci_{up,down}() callable from atomic context · 2bedea8f
      Arend van Spriel authored
      This patch removes the bcma_core_pci_power_save() call from
      the bcma_core_pci_{up,down}() functions as it tries to schedule
      thus requiring to call them from non-atomic context. The function
      bcma_core_pci_power_save() is now exported so the calling module
      can explicitly use it in non-atomic context. This fixes the
      'scheduling while atomic' issue reported by Tod Jackson and
      Joe Perches.

      brcmfmac: obtain platform data upon module initialization · db4efbbe
      Arend van Spriel authored
      The driver uses platform_driver_probe() to obtain platform data
      if any. However, that function is placed in the .init section so
      it must be called upon driver module initialization.
      
      The problem was reported by Fenguang Wu resulting in a kernel
      oops because the .init section was already freed.
