In that case, it may happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held because the user is requesting the deauth. The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although userspace was no longer expecting that. To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the race happened and in that case abort processing.

The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll() instead of via a timer. However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the interval is actually negative. As a result, the ISR will arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a softlockup at modprobe time. Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval is set before interrupts are active. Another possible fix is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine, but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

When fixed bssid is requested when joining an ibss network, incoming beacons that match the configured bssid cause mac80211 to create new sta entries, even before the ibss interface is in joined state. When that happens, it fails to bring up the interface entirely, because it checks for existing sta entries before joining. This patch fixes this bug by refusing to create sta info entries before the interface is fully operational. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

My commit 77fdaa12 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Tue Jul 7 03:45:17 2009 +0200 mac80211: rework MLME for multiple authentications inadvertedly broke WMM because it removed, along with a bunch of other now useless initialisations, the line initialising sdata->u.mgd.wmm_last_param_set to -1 which would make it adopt any WMM parameter set. If, as is usually the case, the AP uses WMM parameter set sequence number zero, we'd never update it until the AP changes the sequence number. Add the missing initialisation back to get the WMM settings from the AP applied locally.

I noticed yesterday, because Jeff had noticed a speed regression, cf. bug http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138 that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong. Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits. The bug was part of the original HT code from over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't be overwriting the peer's setting with our own but rather keep it intact when masking the peer capabilities with our own. While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of capabilities is completely useless for most of the bits, so also fix those other bits. Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no longer exists in the final 802.11n version, so also remove that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Daniel Mack authored
The libertas driver copies the SSID buffer back to the wireless core and appends a trailing NULL character for termination. This is a) unnecessary because the buffer is allocated with kzalloc and is hence already NULLed when this function is called, and b) for priv->curbssparams.ssid_len == 32, it writes back one byte too much which causes memory corruptions. Fix this by removing the extra write.

we see from http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2125 that power saving does not work well on 3945. Since then power saving has also been connected with association problems where an AP deathenticates a 3945 after it is unable to transmit data to it - this happens when 3945 enters power savings mode. Disable power save support until issues are resolved. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

I've also for a long time had a problem with the temperature calculation code, which I had fixed by byte-swapping the values, and now it turns out that was the correct fix after all. Also, any use of iwl_eeprom_query_addr() that is for more than a u8 must be cast to little endian, and some structs as well. Fix all this. Again, no real impact on platforms that already are little endian.

The construct "le16_to_cpu((__force __le16)(r >> 16))" has always bothered me when looking through the iwlwifi code, it shouldn't be necessary to __force anything, and before this code, "r" was obtained with an ioread32, which swaps each of the two u16 values in it properly when swapping the entire u32 value. I've had arguments about this code with people before, but always conceded they were right because removing it only made things not work at all on big endian platforms. However, analysing a failure of the OTP reading code, I now finally figured out what is going on, and why my intuition about that code being wrong was right all along. It turns out that the 'priv->eeprom' u8 array really wants to have the data in it in little endian. So the force code above and all really converts *to* little endian, not from it. Cf., for instance, the function iwl_eeprom_query16() -- it reads two u8 values and combines them into a u16, in a little-endian way. And considering it more, it makes sense to have the eeprom array as on the device, after all not all values really are 16-bit values, the MAC address for instance is not. Now, what this really means is that all the annotations are completely wrong. The eeprom reading code should fill the priv->eeprom array as a __le16 array, with __le16 values. This also means that iwl_read_otp_word() should really have a __le16 pointer as the data argument, since it should be filling that in a format suitable for priv->eeprom. Propagating these changes throughout, iwl_find_otp_image() is found to be, now obviously visible, defective -- it uses the data returned by iwl_read_otp_word() directly as if it was CPU endianness. Fixing that, which is this hunk of the patch: - next_link_addr = link_value * sizeof(u16); + next_link_addr = le16_to_cpu(link_value) * sizeof(u16); is the only real change of this patch. Everything else is just fixing the sparse annotations. Also, the bug only shows up on big endian platforms with a 1000 series card. 5000 and previous series do not use OTP, and 6000 series has shadow RAM support which means we don't ever use the defective code on any cards but 1000.

sizeof(iv16) and sizeof(iv32) are the sizes of pointers. Change them to the size of the copied data. Furthermore, iveiv_entry is a local structure that has just been initialized and is not visible outside this function. Thus, there would seem to be no point to copy data into it. The order of the arguments is thus changed to copy the data into the parameters, which are provided as pointers, suggesting in this case that they should be used to return values.

First, we copy/paste the padding stuff from ath9k_tx to ath_tx_cabq since it needs to same kind of padding, but for internally generated beacons. Next, software padding done on TX needs to be removed before calling ieee80211_tx_status. The code was already there in ath_tx_complete but it was wrong. Fix it by using ath9k_cmn_padpos. This later code has been tested by sending packets to a monitor interface and reading packets from the same interface.

Recent commits "iwlwifi: remove power-wasting calls to apm_ops.init()" and "iwlagn: power up device before initializing EEPROM" had the goal of reducing device power consumption from the time the module is loaded until the interface is brought up and the device's power saving mechanisms kick in. The idea is that once the module is loaded there is no need for the device to consume power until the interface is brought up. With the current solution the device is only powered up during EEPROM read, and then so also only if the EEPROM type is OTP. We have found that on certain platforms even non-OTP devices require power to be up during EEPROM read. On these platforms the driver never loads and the system log contains the following: iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!. CSR_GP_CNTRL = 0x080403D8 We thus now power up all devices during EEPROM read. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

In iwlwifi, priv->alloc_rxb_page is used to keep track of the Rx pages allocated by the driver. This cleans up the page free routines by introducing __iwl_free_pages/iwl_free_pages so that the accounting is more accurate and less error prone. This also fixes two instances where the counter was not updated. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Without this we have no gaurantee of the integrity of the EEPROM and are likely to encounter a lot of bogus bug reports due to actual issues on the EEPROM. With the EEPROM checksum check in place we can easily rule those issues out. If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead on real concrete issues. If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM feel free to apply this there too.
