2012-04-02T16:52:36+00:00

commit 62ebeed8d00aef75eac4fd6c161cae75a41965ca upstream.

This makes it possible to reload driver if insmod has failed due to
missing firmware.

iwlwifi: always monitor for stuck queues

2012-04-02T16:52:34+00:00

commit 342bbf3fee2fa9a18147e74b2e3c4229a4564912 upstream.

If we only monitor while associated, the following
can happen:
 - we're associated, and the queue stuck check
   runs, setting the queue "touch" time to X
 - we disassociate, stopping the monitoring,
   which leaves the time set to X
 - almost 2s later, we associate, and enqueue
   a frame
 - before the frame is transmitted, we monitor
   for stuck queues, and find the time set to
   X, although it is now later than X + 2000ms,
   so we decide that the queue is stuck and
   erroneously restart the device

It happens more with P2P because there we can
go between associated/unassociated frequently.

rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix loss of receive performance

2012-04-02T16:52:34+00:00

commit a9b89e2567c743483e6354f64d7a7e3a8c101e9e upstream.

Driver rtl8192ce when used with the RTL8188CE device would start at about
20 Mbps on a 54 Mbps connection, but quickly drop to 1 Mbps. One of the
symptoms is that the AP would need to retransmit each packet 4 of 5 times
before the driver would acknowledge it. Recovery is possible only by
unloading and reloading the driver. This problem was reported at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207.

The problem is due to a missing update of the gain setting.

rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent sleeping from invalid context in rtl8192cu

2012-04-02T16:52:34+00:00

commit ebecdcc12fed5d3c81853dea61a0a78a5aefab52 upstream.

When driver rtl8192cu is used with the debug level set to 3 or greater,
the result is "sleeping function called from invalid context" due to
an rcu_read_lock() call in the DM refresh routine in driver rtl8192c.
This lock is not necessary as the USB driver does not use the struct
being protected, thus the lock is set only when a PCI interface is
active.

This bug is reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.

rtlwifi: rtl8192c_common: rtl8192de: Check for allocation failures

commit 76a92be537f1c8c259e393632301446257ca3ea9 upstream.

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771656, a kernel bug was
triggered due to a failed skb allocation that was not checked. This event
lead to an audit of all memory allocations in the complete rtlwifi family
of drivers. This patch fixes the rest.

iwl3945: fix possible il->txq NULL pointer dereference in delayed works

2012-03-23T18:21:22+00:00

commit 210787e82a0ac1ffb5d7be1c796f0c51050849ad upstream.

On il3945_down procedure we free tx queue data and nullify il->txq
pointer. After that we drop mutex and then cancel delayed works. There
is possibility, that after drooping mutex and before the cancel, some
delayed work will start and crash while trying to send commands to
the device. For example, here is reported crash in
il3945_bg_reg_txpower_periodic():
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42766#c10

Patch fix problem by adding il->txq check on works that send commands,
hence utilize tx queue.

rt2x00: fix random stalls

2012-03-19T16:02:19+00:00

commit 3780d038fdf4b5ef26ead10b0604ab1f46dd9510 upstream.

Is possible that we stop queue and then do not wake up it again,
especially when packets are transmitted fast. That can be easily
reproduced with modified tx queue entry_num to some small value e.g. 16.

If mac80211 already hold local->queue_stop_reason_lock, then we can wait
on that lock in both rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and
rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(). After drooping ->queue_stop_reason_lock
is possible that __ieee80211_wake_queue() will be performed before
__ieee80211_stop_queue(), hence we stop queue and newer wake up it
again.

Another race condition is possible when between rt2x00queue_threshold()
check and rt2x00queue_pause_queue() we will process all pending tx
buffers on different cpu. This might happen if for example interrupt
will be triggered on cpu performing rt2x00mac_tx().

To prevent race conditions serialize pause/unpause by queue->tx_lock.

carl9170: fix frame delivery if sta is in powersave mode

2012-03-12T19:31:40+00:00

commit 9926a67557532acb6cddb1c1add02952175b5c72 upstream.

Nicolas Cavallari discovered that carl9170 has some
serious problems delivering data to sleeping stations.

It turns out that the driver was not honoring two
important flags (IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE and
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT) which are set on
frames that should be sent although the receiving
station is still in powersave mode.
