wireless: hostap: proc: print properly escaped SSID

2014-10-14T00:18:27+00:00

Instead of substituting non-printable characters by '_' let's print SSID
properly escaped by using recently added %*pE specifier.

wireless: ipw2x00: print SSID via %*pE

2014-10-14T00:18:27+00:00

Instead of custom approach this allows to print escaped strings via
recently added kernel extension: %*pE.

====================
pull request: wireless-next 2014-10-09

Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.18 stream!

Andrea Merello makes rtl818x_pci use a more reasonable transmission
rate for HW generated frames.

Fabian Frederick tweaks some kernel-doc bits to avoid warnings.

Larry Finger corrects a possible unaligned access in the rtlwifi code.

Marek Puzyniak avoids a kernel panic in ath9k_hw_reset.

Sujith Manoharan goes for the hat trick -- he fixes a smatch warning
in the shared ath code, he fixes a crash in ath9k, and he corrects
a sequence number assignment problem in ath9k too.

For ease of merging, I pulled the last bits of the wireless tree as well...

Please let me know if there are problems!

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Most notable changes in here:

   1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
      contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit.  This is
      the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
      several individuals.

      Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
      skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
      telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.

      skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
      call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.

      There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
      packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
      software is now done with no locks held.

      Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
      be used to test a multi-send implementation.

      Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
      virtio_net

      Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
      support this optimization soon.

      I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
      Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
      Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
      David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.

   2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.

   3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
      ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver.  From
      Govindarajulu Varadarajan.

   4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
      driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
      Florian Fainelli.

   5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
      to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
      into pools of pages.  The objective is to get exactly the
      necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
      but no more.  The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
      From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
      by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
      Dumazet.

   6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
      encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility.  From Tom
      Herbert.

   7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
      Fainelli.

   8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
      testsuite.  Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.

   9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
      areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators.  From John
      Fastabend.

  10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
      Duyck.

  11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From
      Florian Westphal.

  13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly
      faster.  From Eric Dumazet"

rtlwifi: Fix possible unaligned array in ether_addr_copy()

2014-10-08T19:24:16+00:00

Two macros used to copy BSSID information use ether_addr_copy(), thus
the arrays must be 2-byte aligned. In one case, the array could become
unaligned if the struct containing it were changed. Use the __unaligned(2)
attribute to retain the necessary alignment. In addition, the magic number
used to specify the size of the array is replaced by ETH_ALEN.

ath9k: Fix sequence number assignment

2014-10-08T19:24:15+00:00

Currently, ath9k uses a global counter for all
frames that need to be assigned a sequence number.
QoS-data frames are handled properly since they
have a per-tid counter. But, beacons and other
management frames use the same counter even if
multiple interfaces or contexts are present.

Fix this issue by making the counter per-interface
and using it when mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ.

ath9k_htc: avoid kernel panic in ath9k_hw_reset

2014-10-07T19:07:15+00:00

hw pointer of ath_hw is not assigned to proper value
in function ath9k_hw_reset what finally causes kernel panic.
This can be solved by proper initialization of ath_hw in
ath9k_init_priv.

ath9k: Fix crash in MCC mode

2014-10-07T18:48:37+00:00

When a channel context is removed, the hw_queue_base
is set to -1, this will result in a panic because
ath9k_chanctx_stop_queues() can be called on an interface
that is not assigned to any context yet - for example,
when trying to scan.

Fix this issue by setting the hw_queue_base to zero
when a channel context is removed.
