mac80211: ignore NullFunc frames in the duplicate detection

2018-12-13T08:21:37+00:00

commit 990d71846a0b7281bd933c34d734e6afc7408e7e upstream. NullFunc packets should never be duplicate just like QoS-NullFunc packets. We saw a client that enters / exits power save with NullFunc frames (and not with QoS-NullFunc) despite the fact that the association supports HT. This specific client also re-uses a non-zero sequence number for different NullFunc frames. At some point, the client had to send a retransmission of the NullFunc frame and we dropped it, leading to a misalignment in the power save state. Fix this by never consider a NullFunc frame as duplicate, just like we do for QoS NullFunc frames.

mac80211: fix reordering of buffered broadcast packets

2018-12-13T08:21:37+00:00

commit 9ec1190d065998650fd9260dea8cf3e1f56c0e8c upstream. If the buffered broadcast queue contains packets, letting new packets bypass that queue can lead to heavy reordering, since the driver is probably throttling transmission of buffered multicast packets after beacons. Keep buffering packets until the buffer has been cleared (and no client is in powersave mode).

mac80211: ignore tx status for PS stations in ieee80211_tx_status_ext

2018-12-13T08:21:37+00:00

commit a317e65face482371de30246b6494feb093ff7f9 upstream. Make it behave like regular ieee80211_tx_status calls, except for the lack of filtered frame processing. This fixes spurious low-ack triggered disconnections with powersave clients connected to an AP.

mac80211: Clear beacon_int in ieee80211_do_stop

2018-12-13T08:21:37+00:00

commit 5c21e8100dfd57c806e833ae905e26efbb87840f upstream. This fixes stale beacon-int values that would keep a netdev from going up. To reproduce: Create two VAP on one radio. vap1 has beacon-int 100, start it. vap2 has beacon-int 240, start it (and it will fail because beacon-int mismatch). reconfigure vap2 to have beacon-int 100 and start it. It will fail because the stale beacon-int 240 will be used in the ifup path and hostapd never gets a chance to set the new beacon interval.

tty: serial: 8250_mtk: always resume the device in probe.

2018-12-13T08:21:37+00:00

commit 100bc3e2bebf95506da57cbdf5f26b25f6da4c81 upstream. serial8250_register_8250_port calls uart_config_port, which calls config_port on the port before it tries to power on the port. So we need the port to be on before calling serial8250_register_8250_port. Change the code to always do a runtime resume in probe before registering port, and always do a runtime suspend in remove. This basically reverts the change in commit 68e5fc4a255a ("tty: serial: 8250_mtk: use pm_runtime callbacks for enabling"), but still use pm_runtime callbacks.

Staging: lustre: remove two build warnings

2018-12-13T08:21:36+00:00

[for older kernels only, lustre has been removed from upstream] When someone writes: strncpy(dest, source, sizeof(source)); they really are just doing the same thing as: strcpy(dest, source); but somehow they feel better because they are now using the "safe" version of the string functions. Cargo-cult programming at its finest... gcc-8 rightfully warns you about doing foolish things like this. Now that the stable kernels are all starting to be built using gcc-8, let's get rid of this warning so that we do not have to gaze at this horror. To dropt the warning, just convert the code to using strcpy() so that if someone really wants to audit this code and find all of the obvious problems, it will be easier to do so.
