linux-stable.git/drivers/net/wireless, branch v3.4 Linux kernel stable tree rtlwifi: fix for race condition when firmware is cached 2012-05-14T17:51:24+00:00 Larry Finger Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net 2012-05-04T13:27:43+00:00 574e02abaf816b582685805f0c1150ca9f1f18ee In commit b0302ab, the rtlwifi family of drivers was converted to use asynchronous firmware loading. Unfortumately, the implementation was racy, and the ieee80211 routines could be started before rtl_init_core() was called to setup the data. This patch fixes the bug noted in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43187.

iwlwifi: fix skb truesize underestimation 2012-05-03T14:52:30+00:00 Eric Dumazet eric.dumazet@gmail.com 2012-03-24T04:29:46+00:00 ed90542b0ce5415050c6fbfca324bccaafa69f2f By default, iwlwifi uses order-1 pages (8 KB) to store incoming frames, but doesnt say so in skb->truesize. This makes very possible to exhaust kernel memory since these skb evade normal socket memory accounting. As struct ieee80211_hdr is going to be pulled before calling IP stack, there is no need to use dev_alloc_skb() to reserve NET_SKB_PAD bytes. alloc_skb() is ok in this driver, allowing more tailroom. Pull beginning of frame in skb header, in the hope we can reuse order-1 pages in the driver immediately for small frames and reduce their truesize to the minimum (linear skbs) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Cc: "John W.

Revert "ath9k_hw: Fix incorrect spur_freq_sd for AR9003" 2012-05-02T18:02:03+00:00 Rajkumar Manoharan rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com 2012-05-01T03:42:24+00:00 9d1ceac5c6f7e77ea914de376ec17ced3eb22e5f This reverts commit a844adfd7bee4edc66d337de6c33b348e83552a8. The commit a844adfd is degrading rx sensitivity of lower rate in HT40 mode and it is confirmed that reverting the change is improving rx sensitivity. spur_freq_sd (for self-corr in AGC) is defined with respect to the center of each 20MHz channel while spur_phase_delta (for self-corr in Rx and spur data filter) is defined with respect to the center of current RF channel. So in short, we need to subtract spur_freq_sd (for self-corr in AGC) by the offset between the center of primary20 and the center of RF channel in SW. This offset could be +/10 MHz for dynamic 40.
