mwifiex: fix incomplete scan in case of IE parsing error 2013-02-14T18:48:00+00:00 Bing Zhao bzhao@marvell.com 2013-01-29T22:38:02+00:00 ff888473a24be9e8761e6baabbc73386b5f747b9 commit 8a7d7cbf7b5ff9912ef50b3e94c9ad9f37b1c75f upstream. A scan request is split into multiple scan commands queued in scan_pending_q. Each scan command will be sent to firmware and its response is handlded one after another. If any error is detected while parsing IE in command response buffer the remaining data will be ignored and error is returned. We should check if there is any more scan commands pending in the queue before returning error. This ensures that we will call cfg80211_scan_done if this is the last scan command, or send next scan command in scan_pending_q to firmware.

commit 8a7d7cbf7b5ff9912ef50b3e94c9ad9f37b1c75f upstream.

A scan request is split into multiple scan commands queued in
scan_pending_q. Each scan command will be sent to firmware and
its response is handlded one after another.

If any error is detected while parsing IE in command response
buffer the remaining data will be ignored and error is returned.

We should check if there is any more scan commands pending in
the queue before returning error. This ensures that we will call
cfg80211_scan_done if this is the last scan command, or send
next scan command in scan_pending_q to firmware.

rtlwifi: Fix scheduling while atomic bug 2013-02-14T18:47:59+00:00 Larry Finger Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net 2013-02-02T21:55:00+00:00 1174e03b914aa8120e1dfedb3dfa5121757d4d90 commit a5ffbe0a1993a27072742ef7db6cf9839956fce9 upstream. Kernel commits 41affd5 and 6539306 changed the locking in rtl_lps_leave() from a spinlock to a mutex by doing the calls indirectly from a work queue to reduce the time that interrupts were disabled. This change was fine for most systems; however a scheduling while atomic bug was reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903881. The backtrace indicates that routine rtl_is_special(), which calls rtl_lps_leave() in three places was entered in atomic context. These direct calls are replaced by putting a request on the appropriate work queue.

The commit "ath9k: fix rx flush handling" added a deadlock that happens because ath_rx_tasklet is called in a section that has already taken the rx buffer lock. It seems that the only purpose of the rxbuflock was a band-aid fix to the reset vs rx tasklet race, which has been properly fixed in the commit "ath9k: add a better fix for the rx tasklet vs rx flush race". Now that the fix is in, we can safely remove the lock to avoid such issues.

Right now the rx flush is not doing anything useful on AR9003+, as it only works if the buffers in the rx FIFO have not been purged yet, as is done by ath_stoprecv. To fix this, always call ath_flushrecv from within ath_stoprecv before the FIFO is emptied, but still after the hw receive path has been stopped. This ensures that frames received (and ACKed by the hardware) shortly before a reset will be seen by the software, which should improve A-MPDU session stability.
