<id>a6aebd63e71e65c0823aa1866062489f85c72a4b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit dd447319895d0c0af423e483d9b63f84f3f8869a upstream.

Driver incorrectly validates command completion: instead of waiting
for a command to be acknowledged it continues execution.  Most of the
time driver gets acknowledge of the command completion in a tasklet
before it executes the next one. But sometimes it sends the next
command before it gets acknowledge for the previous one. In such a
case one of the following error messages appear in the log:

Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command.
Failed to send ASSOCIATE: Already sending a command.
Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.

After that you need to reload the driver to get it working again.

This bug occurs during roaming (reported by Sam Varshavchik)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738508
and machine booting (reported by Tom Gundersen and Mads Kiilerich)
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28097
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802106

This patch doesn't fix the delay issue during firmware load.
But at least device now works as usual after boot.

<title>ipw2x00: signedness bug handling frame length</title>

This is basically just a cleanup.  Large positive numbers get counted as
negative but then get implicitly cast to positive again for the checks
that matter.

This does make a small difference in ipw_handle_promiscuous_rx() when we
test "if (unlikely((len + IPW_RX_FRAME_SIZE) &gt; skb_tailroom(rxb-&gt;skb)))"
It should return there, but we don't return until a couple lines later
when we test "if (len &gt; IPW_RX_BUF_SIZE - sizeof(struct ipw_rt_hdr)) {".
The difference is that in the second test the sizeof() means that there
is an implied cast to unsigned.

The macro is only used in ipw2200 and we certainly
don't want to encourage its use, so move it out of
the radiotap header file and into the driver.
