2015-11-27T12:48:21+00:00

commit 1e6e63283691a2a9048a35d9c6c59cf0abd342e4 upstream.

staging: rtl8712: prevent buffer overrun in recvbuf2recvframe

2015-08-12T14:33:13+00:00

commit cab462140f8a183e3cca0b51c8b59ef715cb6148 upstream.

With an RTL8191SU USB adaptor, sometimes the hints for a fragmented
packet are set, but the packet length is too large. Allocate enough
space to prevent memory corruption and a resulting kernel panic [1].

staging: r8712u: Fix case where ethtype was never obtained and always be checked against 0

2014-05-18T13:58:04+00:00

commit f764cd68d9036498f08fe8834deb6a367b5c2542 upstream.

Zero-initializing ether_type masked that the ether type would never be
obtained for 8021x packets and the comparison against eapol_type
would always fail.

commit abf02cfc179bb4bd30d05f582d61b3b8f429b813 upstream.

64bit arches have a buggy r8712u driver, let's fix it.

skb->tail must be set properly or network stack behavior is undefined.

staging: r8712u: Fix regression caused by commit 8c213fa

2012-05-11T12:15:04+00:00

commit 2080913e017ab9f88379d93fd09546ad95faf87b upstream.

In commit 8c213fa "staging: r8712u: Use asynchronous firmware loading",
the command to release the firmware was placed in the wrong routine.

In combination with the bug introduced in commit a5ee652 "staging: r8712u:
Interface-state not fully tracked", the driver attempts to upload firmware
that had already been released. This bug is the source of one of the
problems in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996#comment89833.

staging: r8712u: Fix regression in signal level after commit c6dc001

2012-04-02T16:52:29+00:00

commit da3e6ec2f443ac00aa623c5921e3521f5f38efe4 upstream.

In commit c6dc001 "staging: r8712u: Merging Realtek's latest (v2.6.6).
Various fixes", the returned qual.qual member of the iw_statistics
struct was changed. For strong signals, this change made no difference;
however for medium and weak signals it results in a low signal that
shows considerable fluctuation, When using wicd for a medium-strength
AP, the value reported in the status line is reduced from 100% to 60% by
this bug.

This problem is reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42826.

staging: r8712u: Fix regression introduced by commit a5ee652

2012-04-02T16:52:15+00:00

commit 9f4bc8cf3fe750ed093856a5f5d41c11cc12ad22 upstream.

In commit a5ee652 "staging: r8712u: Interface-state not fully tracked",
the private boolean "bup" was set false when the interface was brought down,
as that seemed appropriate. This change has not caused any problems when
using NetworkManager or manual control of the device; however, when wicd
control is used, there is a locking problem in wpa_supplicant, as shown in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42818.

This fix reverts the only code change in commit a5ee652. My
analysis is that "bup" is badly named. In its present form, it
seems to indicate the up/down state of the device, but its usage
is more consistent with an initialized/uninitialized state. That
problem will be addressed in a later patch.

Note: Commit 8c213fa, which introdued asynchronous firmware loading
for this driver, exposed this bug to a greater extent. That bug
is addressed in the next patch in this series.

This bug is also responsible for the bug in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42815. and this bug is
also part of the problems discussed at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996#comment89950.
