staging: rtl8723bs: Improve the comment explaining the locking rules

2022-03-02T15:38:24+00:00

rtw_mlme.h has a comment which briefly describes the locking rules for
the rtl8723bs driver, improve this to also mention the locking order
of xmit_priv.lock vs the lock(s) embedded in the various queues.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
  found several instances where the code is not using the existing
  abstractions properly.

  This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a
  signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of
  the existing abstractions that I found.

  A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
  as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
  hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
  calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).

  In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
  where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
  found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
  makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and
  allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp

  And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the
  wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build."

Merge tag 'staging-5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

2021-11-04T14:56:22+00:00

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of staging driver updates and cleanups for
  5.16-rc1.

  Overall we ended up removing a lot of code this time, a bit over
  20,000 lines are now gone thanks to a lot of cleanup work by many
  developers.

  Nothing huge in here functionality wise, just loads of cleanups:

   - r8188eu driver major cleanups and removal of unused and dead code

   - wlan-ng minor cleanups

   - fbtft driver cleanups

   - most driver cleanups

   - rtl8* drivers cleanups

   - rts5208 driver cleanups

   - vt6655 driver cleanups

   - vc04_services drivers cleanups

   - wfx cleanups on the way to almost getting this merged out of
     staging (it's close!)

   - tiny mips changes needed for the mt7621 drivers, they have been
     acked by the respective subsystem maintainers to go through this
     tree.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

exit/rtl8723bs: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0

2021-10-29T19:31:34+00:00

Every place thread_exit is called is at the end of a function started
with kthread_run.  The code in kthread_run has arranged things so a
kernel thread can just return and do_exit will be called.

So just have the threads return instead of calling complete_and_exit.

treewide: Replace 0-element memcpy() destinations with flexible arrays

2021-10-18T19:28:53+00:00

The 0-element arrays that are used as memcpy() destinations are actually
flexible arrays. Adjust their structures accordingly so that memcpy()
can better reason able their destination size (i.e. they need to be seen
as "unknown" length rather than "zero").

In some cases, use of the DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper is needed when a
flexible array is alone in a struct.

staging: rtl8723bs: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2021-10-05T10:28:06+00:00

One-element and zero-length arrays are deprecated and should be
replaced with flexible-array members[1].

Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member and make use
of the struct_size() helper.

staging: rtl8723bs: remove header file ethernet.h

2021-08-26T10:14:57+00:00

The header file ehternet.h defines only two constants.

#define ETHERNET_HEADER_SIZE   14          /*  Ethernet Header Length */
#define LLC_HEADER_SIZE         6          /*  LLC Header Length */

Both are only used in the file core/rtw_recv.c and ETHERNET_HEADER_SIZE
just duplicates the in-kernel constant ETH_HLEN. Replace the usage of
ETHERNET_HEADER_SIZE with ETH_HLEN, move the definition of LLC_HEADER_SIZE
into rtw_rev.h (renamed to LLC_HEADER_LENGTH) and remove the now unused
header file ethernet.h.
