Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference. This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly. If you want to reproduce this panic, 1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on 2. Create 2 guests on KVM 2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net 4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden 5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes) Signed-off-by: Koki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The failed_get label is used after the call to clk_get has succeeded, so it should be moved up above the call to clk_put. The failed_req labels doesn't do anything different than failed_get, so delete it. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ expression e1,e2; statement S; @@ e1 = clk_get@p1(...); ... when != e1 = e2 when != clk_put(e1) when any if (...) { ... when != clk_put(e1) when != if (...) { ... clk_put(e1) ... } * return@p3 ...; } else S // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently the DM9000 driver requests the primary interrupt before it resets the chip and puts it into a known good state. This means that if the chip is asserting interrupt for some reason we can end up with a screaming IRQ that the interrupt handler is unable to deal with. Avoid this by only requesting the interrupt after we've reset the chip so we know what state it's in. This started manifesting itself on one of my boards in the past month or so, I suspect as a result of some core infrastructure changes removing some form of mitigation against bad behaviour here, even when things boot it seems that the new code brings the interface up more quickly.

Currently, user-space cannot determine if a 0 tcp_vlan_tci means there is no VLAN tag or the VLAN ID was zero. Add flag to make this explicit. User-space can check for TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID || tp_vlan_tci > 0, which will be backwards compatible. Older could would have just checked for tp_vlan_tci, so it will work no worse than before.

The current code takes an unaligned pointer and does htonl() on it to make it big-endian, then does a memcpy(). The problem is that the compiler decides that since the pointer is to a __be32, it is legal to optimize the copy into a processor word store. However, on an architecture that does not handled unaligned writes in kernel space, this produces an unaligned exception fault. The solution is to track the pointer as a "char *" (which removes a bunch of unpleasant casts in any case), and then just use put_unaligned_be32() to write the value to memory.

Several crashes in cleanup_once() were reported in recent kernels. Commit d6cc1d64 (inetpeer: various changes) added a race in unlink_from_unused(). One way to avoid taking unused_peers.lock before doing the list_empty() test is to catch 0->1 refcnt transitions, using full barrier atomic operations variants (atomic_cmpxchg() and atomic_inc_return()) instead of previous atomic_inc() and atomic_add_unless() variants. We then call unlink_from_unused() only for the owner of the 0->1 transition. Add a new atomic_add_unless_return() static helper With help from Arun Sharma.

We make oldconfig every time when a new kernel arrives, but if we don't have such a device(I guess this is the most common case for a new device), the default value should be 'n' so that the kernel size we build doesn't grow up too much quickly.

Whenever there is a channel width change from 40 Mhz to 20 Mhz, the hardware is reconfigured to ht20. Meantime before doing the rate control updation, the packets are being transmitted are selected rate with IEEE80211_TX_RC_40_MHZ_WIDTH. While transmitting ht40 rate packets in ht20 mode is causing baseband panic with AR9003 based chips. ==== BB update: BB status=0x02001109 ==== ath: ** BB state: wd=1 det=1 rdar=0 rOFDM=1 rCCK=1 tOFDM=0 tCCK=0 agc=2 src=0 ** ath: ** BB WD cntl: cntl1=0xffff0085 cntl2=0x00000004 ** ath: ** BB mode: BB_gen_controls=0x000033c0 ** ath: ** BB busy times: rx_clear=99%, rx_frame=0%, tx_frame=0% ** ath: ==== BB update: done ==== Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Although a previous fix handles the kernel panics that result from failure to allocate a new RX buffer, memory fragmentation can be reduced if the amsdu_8k capability is disabled as new buffers need only be of O(0), not O(2).

Larry Finger authored
To handle amsdu_8k capability, the PCI routine of this driver must allocate receive buffers of order 2. Under heavy load, this causes fragmentation of memory. The present code releases the current buffer before checking to see if a new one is availble. Recovery from allocation failures is not possible, which results in kernel panics. The fix is to reorder the code to check that a new buffer can be allocated before the old one is released. If not possible, the received frame is dropped and the old one is reused. Without this change, it is impossible to transfer a 2 GB file without a kernel panic.

In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for the SSID length before assigning the value correctly. Since the memory was just kzalloc'ed, the check was always failing and SSID with over 32 characters were allowed to go through. This was causing a buffer overflow when copying the actual SSID to the proper place. This bug has been there since 2.6.29-rc4.

While decoding received event packet from firmware, 4 bytes of interface header are already removed unconditionally. So for handling event only 4 more bytes needs to be pulled. This is achieved by changing event header length to 4. Almost all the events, except BA stream related and AMSDU aggregation control events, do not have the payload in their event skb. Such events handling depends only on the event ID. This event ID is the first four bytes of the event skb, which is copied to a separate variable before pulling the skb header. Hence event handling worked only for those events that didn't have payload in event skb. This patch fixes the broken event path of the events with payload in their event skb without harming existing working event path for the events without payload.
