ath9k: fix DMA stop sequence for AR9003+

2015-08-12T14:33:14+00:00

commit 300f77c08ded96d33f492aaa02549103852f0c12 upstream.

AR93xx and newer needs to stop rx before tx to avoid getting the DMA
engine or MAC into a stuck state.
This should reduce/fix the occurence of "Failed to stop Tx DMA" logspam.

rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix kernel deadlock

2015-08-06T23:32:07+00:00

commit 414b7e3b9ce8b0577f613e656fdbc36b34b444dd upstream.

The USB mini-driver in rtlwifi, which is used by rtl8192cu, issues a call to
usb_control_msg() with a timeout value of 0. In some instances where the
interface is shutting down, this infinite wait results in a CPU deadlock. A
one second timeout fixes this problem without affecting any normal operations.

This bug is reported at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927786.

ath5k: fix hardware queue index assignment

2015-02-20T00:49:29+00:00

commit 9e4982f6a51a2442f1bb588fee42521b44b4531c upstream.

Like with ath9k, ath5k queues also need to be ordered by priority.
queue_info->tqi_subtype already contains the correct index, so use it
instead of relying on the order of ath5k_hw_setup_tx_queue calls.

ath9k: fix BE/BK queue order

2015-02-20T00:49:28+00:00

commit 78063d81d353e10cbdd279c490593113b8fdae1c upstream.

Hardware queues are ordered by priority. Use queue index 0 for BK, which
has lower priority than BE.

ath9k_hw: fix hardware queue allocation

2015-02-20T00:49:28+00:00

commit ad8fdccf9c197a89e2d2fa78c453283dcc2c343f upstream.

The driver passes the desired hardware queue index for a WMM data queue
in qinfo->tqi_subtype. This was ignored in ath9k_hw_setuptxqueue, which
instead relied on the order in which the function is called.

rt2x00: do not align payload on modern H/W

2014-12-14T16:23:56+00:00

commit cfd9167af14eb4ec21517a32911d460083ee3d59 upstream.

RT2800 and newer hardware require padding between header and payload if
header length is not multiple of 4.

For historical reasons we also align payload to to 4 bytes boundary, but
such alignment is not needed on modern H/W.

Patch fixes skb_under_panic problems reported from time to time:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84911
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=139108549530402&w=2
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1087591

Panic happened because we eat 4 bytes of skb headroom on each
(re)transmission when sending frame without the payload and the header
length not being multiple of 4 (i.e. QoS header has 26 bytes). On such
case because paylad_aling=2 is bigger than header_align=0 we increase
header_align by 4 bytes. To prevent that we could change the check to:

	if (payload_length && payload_align > header_align)
		header_align += 4;

but not aligning payload at all is more effective and alignment is not
really needed by H/W (that has been tested on OpenWrt project for few
years now).
