Alex Romosan reported that since the mac80211 changes in "mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status" and the subsequent fixes in "mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout handling" (commits 1672c0e31917 and 89afe614c0c) there's sometimes an issue connecting to a 5 GHz network with the iwlwifi DVM driver. The reason appears to be that since these commits any bad TX status makes mac80211 immediately try again, causing all of the authentication attempts to be quickly rejected by the firmware as it hasn't heard a beacon yet. Before, it would wait for the timeout regardless of status. To fix this, invoke the passive-no-RX workaround when not associated yet as well. This will cause the first frame to get lost, but then the driver will stop the queues and the second attempt will only be transmitted after hearing a beacon, thus delaying it appropriately to not make the firmware reject it again.

When calculating "offset" for final RSSI calibration we're using numbers bigger than s8 can hold. We have for example: offset[j] = 232 - poll_results[j]; formula. If poll_results[j] is small enough (it usually is) we treat number's bit as a sign bit. For example 232 - 1 becomes: 0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25. This code was introduced in e0c9a0219a8f542e3946fe972a68aacf8c3f906c and caused stability regression on some cards, for ex. BCM4322.

il4965_rs_initialize_lq checks to see if sta is null, however, before that check il4965_rs_use_green dereferences sta when intializing use_green. Avoid a potential null pointer dereference error by only calling il4965_rs_use_green after we are sure sta is not null.

Intermittently, b43 will report "Out of order TX status report on DMA ring". When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume. The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source firmware; however, all versions of the firmware are affected. This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less than the observed value, and supplies a fake status report to skip one header/data pair. Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times per second under heavy load. As each occurence kills the unmodified driver, this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch logs only the first instance of the reset operation to prevent spamming the logs.

We're using "mind" variable to find the VCM that got the best polling results. For each VCM we calculte "currd" which is compared to the "mind". For PHY rev3+ "currd" gets values around 14k-40k. Looking for a value smaller than 40 makes no sense, so increase the initial value. This fixes a regression introduced in 3.4 by commit: e0c9a0219a8f542e3946fe972a68aacf8c3f906c (my BCM4322 performance dropped from 18,4Mb/s to 9,26Mb/s) Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.
