A long time ago, a user reported several crashes due to
data corruptions which are likely the result of a
not-100%-supported, or faulty? PCI bridge.
( http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/53004/ )

This patch fixes entry #1.
"1.  p54p_check_rx_ring - skb_over_panic: Under a ping flood
or just left running for a bit would panic with a skb_over_panic."
As described in the mail: The invalid frame length causes
skb_put to bailout and trigger a crash.

Note:
Simply dropping the frame is problematic, because if its content
contains a tx feedback we would lose some portion of the device
memory space.... And the driver/mac80211 should handle all other
invalid data.

While testing the pid rate controller in mac80211_hwsim, I noticed
that once the controller reached 54 Mbit rates, it would fail to
lower the rate when necessary.  The debug log shows:

1945 186786 pf_sample 50 3534 3577 50

My interpretation is that the fixed point scaling of the target
error value (pf) is incorrect: the error value of 50 compared to
a target of 14 case should result in a scaling value of
(14-50) = -36 * 256 or -9216, but instead it is (14 * 256)-50, or
3534.

Correct this by doing fixed point scaling after subtraction.

Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection
mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.

Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.

ieee80211_set_power_mgmt is meant for STA interfaces only. Moreover,
since sdata->u.mgd.mtx is only initialized for STA interfaces, using

Currently we cannot set the channel using wext extension
if we have already associated and disconnected. As
cfg80211_mgd_wext_siwfreq will not switch the channel if ssid is set.
This fixes it by clearing the ssid.
Following is the sequence which it tries to fix.
modprobe iwlagn
iwconfig wlan0 essid ""
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 chan X

wext is marked as deprecate.If we use nl80211 we can easily play with

When ieee80211_monitor_select_queue encounters data frames, it selects
the WMM AC based on skb->priority and assumes that skb->priority
contains a valid 802.1d tag. However this assumption is incorrect, since
ieee80211_select_queue has not been called at this point.
If skb->priority > 7, an array overrun occurs, which could lead to
invalid values, resulting in crashes in the tx path.
Fix this by setting skb->priority based on the 802.11 header for QoS
frames and using the default AC for all non-QoS frames.

Smatch (and presumably other static checkers) complain that MAX_TID_COUNT is
past the end of the array.  In the resulting discussion, Zhu Yi pointed out
that this value is not used in real life and the assignment was only there to
silence a gcc warning.

If there were a bug in the surrounding code and the value were used, the
WARN_ON(!qc) would print a warning before the crash.

On beacon change update notification from mac we are not disabling
the tx in adhoc mode. Mac sends BSS_CHANGED_BEACON_ENABLED when
station leaves IBSS. Driver should indicate uCode to not to send
anything on receiving this notification.

Functionality to indicate uCode is duplicated across
two notifications so created a common function called iwl_set_no_assoc.

Commit 'mac80211: fix skb buffering issue' added an ->ndo_select_queue()
for monitor interfaces which can end up dereferencing ieee802_1d_to_ac[]
beyond the end of the array for injected data packets (as skb->priority
isn't guaranteed to be zero or within [0:7]), which then triggers the
WARN_ON in net/core/dev.c:dev_cap_txqueue().  Fix this by always setting
the priority to zero on injected data frames.

Current rt2x00 drivers may result in a "ieee80211_tx_status: headroom too
small" error message when a frame needs to be properly aligned before
transmitting it.
This is because the space needed to ensure proper alignment isn't
requested from mac80211.
Fix this by adding sufficient amount of alignment space to the amount
of headroom requested for TX frames.

Since I removed the master netdev, we've been
keeping internal queues only, and even before
that we never told the networking stack above
the virtual interfaces about congestion. This
means that packets are queued in mac80211 and
the upper layers never know, possibly leading
to memory exhaustion and other problems.

This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
queues for the virtual interfaces as well.

The injection case will use VO by default for
non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow
chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

Commit 8bf3d79b enabled EEPROM
checksum checks to avoid bogus bug reports but failed to address
updating the code to consider devices with custom EEPROM sizes.
Devices with custom sized EEPROMs have the upper limit size stuffed
in the EEPROM. Use this as the upper limit instead of the static
default size. In case of a checksum error also provide back the
max size and whether or not this was the default size or a custom
one. If the EEPROM is busted we add a failsafe check to ensure
we don't loop forever or try to read bogus areas of hardware.

This closes bug 14874

If multicast parameter (as returned by zd_op_prepare_multicast) has
changed, no bit in changed_flags is set. To handle this situation, we do
not return if changed_flags is 0. If we do so, we will have some issue
with IPv6 which uses multicast for link layer address resolution.

tid is used as an array offset.
	agg = &priv->stations[sta_id].tid[tid].agg;
	iwl4965_tx_status_reply_tx(priv, agg, tx_resp, txq_id, index);

It should be limitted to MAX_TID_COUNT - 1;

`loop' reaches INIT_LOOP + 1 after the loop. so if ACX_INTR_INIT_COMPLETE
occurs in the last iteration the write occurs but also the error out as if a
timeout occurred. This is probably very unlikely to ever occur.

mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration
requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all
the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume
cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume
the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will
continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers,
queue work, and so on for a device which is completley
unfunctional.

The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and
warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch
is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware
reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable
anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a
device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

For further details refer to the thread:

When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback
as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will
be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked.
If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing
hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable
upon resume.

Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work
by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts
quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as
that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the
mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the
beginning of suspend cycle.

The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch.

My previous change added in:

 commit 815833e7
    ath9k: fix tx status reporting

was not checking all possible tx error conditions. This could possibly
lead to throughput issues due to slow rate control adaption or missed
retransmissions of failed A-MPDU frames.

This patch adds a mask for all possible error conditions and uses it
in the xmit ok check.

AMDPDU actions poke hardware for TX operation, as such
we want to turn hardware on for these actions. AMDPU RX operations
do not require hardware on as nothing is done in hardware for
those actions. Without this we cannot guarantee hardware has
been programmed correctly for each AMPDU TX action.

When we remove a IBSS/AP/Mesh interface we stop DMA
but to do this we should ensure hardware is on. Awaken
the device prior to these calls. This should ensure
DMA is stopped upon suspend and plain device removal.

Ensure the device is awake prior to trying to tell hardware
to stop it. Impact of not doing this is we can likely leave
the device in an undefined state likely causing issues with
suspend and resume. This patch ensures harware is where it
should be prior to suspend.
