commit efd5d6b03bd9c9e0df646c56fb5f4f3e25e5c1ac upstream.

On our system (ARM Cortex-M3 SOC running linux-2.6.33)
frequent crashes were observed in the rt2800usb module
because of the invalid length of the received packet (3392,
46920...). This patch adds the sanity check on the packet
legth. Also, changed WARNING to ERROR in rt2x00lib_rxdone()
so that the bad packet condition would be noticed.

The fix was tested on the latest compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.

<title>rt2x00: Fix rfkill polling prior to interface start.</title>

commit a396e10019eaf3809b0219c966865aaafec12630 upstream.

We need to program the rfkill switch GPIO pin direction to input at
device initialization time, not only when the interface is brought up.
Doing this only when the interface is brought up could lead to rfkill
detecting the switch is turned on erroneously and inability to create
the interface and bringing it up.

commit deee0214def5d8a32b8112f11d9c2b1696e9c0cb upstream.

We can not pass NULL libconf-&gt;conf-&gt;channel to rt61pci_config() as it
is dereferenced unconditionally in rt61pci_config_lna_gain() subroutine.

<title>rt2x00usb: fix indexes ordering on RX queue kick</title>

<id>efd821182cec8c92babef6e00a95066d3252fda4</id>
<content type='text'>
On rt2x00_dmastart() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX and on
rt2x00_dmadone() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX_DONE. So entries
between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX are those we currently process in the
hardware. Entries between Q_INDEX and Q_INDEX_DONE are those we can
submit to the hardware.

According to that fix rt2x00usb_kick_queue(), as we need to submit RX
entries that are not processed by the hardware. It worked before only
for empty queue, otherwise was broken.

Note that for TX queues indexes ordering are ok. We need to kick entries
that have filled skb, but was not submitted to the hardware, i.e.
started from Q_INDEX_DONE and have ENTRY_DATA_PENDING bit set.

From practical standpoint this fixes RX queue stall, usually reproducible
in AP mode, like for example reported here:

Remove spinlock as atomic_t can be used instead. Note we use only 16
lower bits, upper bits are changed but we impilcilty cast to u16.

This fix possible deadlock on IBSS mode reproted by lockdep:

Remove spinlock as atomic_t can be used instead. Note we use only 16
lower bits, upper bits are changed but we impilcilty cast to u16.

This fix possible deadlock on IBSS mode reproted by lockdep:

Pull more networking updates from David Miller:
 "Ok, everything from here on out will be bug fixes."

1) One final sync of wireless and bluetooth stuff from John Linville.
   These changes have all been in his tree for more than a week, and
   therefore have had the necessary -next exposure.  John was just away
   on a trip and didn't have a change to send the pull request until a
   day or two ago.

2) Put back some defines in user exposed header file areas that were
   removed during the tokenring purge.  From Stephen Hemminger and Paul
   Gortmaker.

3) A bug fix for UDP hash table allocation got lost in the pile due to
   one of those "you got it..  no I've got it.." situations.  :-)

   From Tim Bird.

4) SKB coalescing in TCP needs to have stricter checks, otherwise we'll
   try to coalesce overlapping frags and crash.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

5) RCU routing table lookups can race with free_fib_info(), causing
   crashes when we deref the device pointers in the route.  Fix by
   releasing the net device in the RCU callback.  From Yanmin Zhang.
