staging: r8712u: Use asynchronous firmware loading

2012-02-08T22:14:15+00:00

In https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996, failure of driver r8712u is
reported, with a timeout during module loading due to synchronous loading
of the firmware. The code now uses request_firmware_nowait().

staging: r8712u: Fix problem when CONFIG_R8712_AP is set

2012-02-08T22:14:15+00:00

When this driver was upgraded to the vendor 20100831 version in
commit 93c55dda092c7 et al,, one listhead initialization was missed.
This broke complete operation of the driver whenever AP mode was
enabled.

This patch fixes https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996.

drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_mlme.c: eliminate a null pointer dereference

2011-11-27T01:19:23+00:00

If ibss_wlan is NULL, it is not correct to memcpy into its field.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@r@
expression E, E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;
@@

if (E == NULL)
{
  ... when != if (E == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
      when != E = E1
*E->f
  ... when any
  return ...;
}
else S3

staging: r8712u: Fix possible out-of-bounds index with TKIP and AES keys

2011-10-11T16:02:49+00:00

Array XGrpKey has only 2 elements and uses (keyid - 1) as the index, which
allows the possibility of memory corruption from an out-of-bounds index.

This problem was reported by a new version of smatch.

staging: r8712u: Most return-values changed from -1 to proper errno macros.

2011-09-07T00:00:36+00:00

The ioctl handlers were frequently returning -1 upon failure. Most of
these have now been changed to proper errno macros.
The few remaining ones have been left untouched because either the
handler is not called (and so cannot be tested), or the function never
fails (and so cannot be system-tested), or requires new code to
distinguish its failures.

staging: r8712u: Tracking kmemleak false positives.

2011-09-07T00:00:35+00:00

The frame buffers allocated in _r8712_init_recv_priv() are not tracked
by kmemleak, but they are freed when the driver is unloaded. To help
find any real leaks, these false positives are annotated for kmemleak.
