mwifiex: Add missing endian conversion.

2013-08-11T22:38:22+00:00

commit 83e612f632c3897be29ef02e0472f6d63e258378 upstream. Both type and pkt_len variables are in host endian and these should be in Little Endian in the payload. Signed-off-by: Tomasz Moń Acked-by: Bing Zhao Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

rt2x00: fix stop queue

2013-08-11T22:38:22+00:00

commit e2288b66fe7ff0288382b2af671b4da558b44472 upstream. Since we clear QUEUE_STARTED in rt2x00queue_stop_queue(), following call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() reduce to noop, i.e we do not stop queue in mac80211. To fix that introduce rt2x00queue_pause_queue_nocheck() function, which will stop queue in mac80211 directly. Note that rt2x00_start_queue() explicitly set QUEUE_PAUSED bit. Note also that reordering operations i.e. first call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and then clear QUEUE_STARTED bit, will race with rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(), so calling ieee80211_stop_queue() directly is the only available solution to fix the problem without major rework.

ath9k_htc: do some initial hardware configuration

2013-08-11T22:38:22+00:00

commit dc2a87f519a4d8cb376ab54f22b6b98a943b51ce upstream. Currently we configure harwdare and clock, only after interface start. In this case, if we reload module or reboot PC without configuring adapter, firmware will freeze. There is no software way to reset adpter. This patch add initial configuration and set it in disabled state, to avoid this freeze. Behaviour of this patch should be similar to: ifconfig wlan0 up; ifconfig wlan0 down.

rt2x00: read 5GHz TX power values from the correct offset

2013-07-28T23:18:26+00:00

commit 0a6f3a8ebaf13407523c2c7d575b4ca2debd23ba upstream. The current code uses the same index value both for the channel information array and for the TX power table. The index starts from 14, however the index of the TX power table must start from zero. Fix it, in order to get the correct TX power value for a given channel. The changes in rt61pci.c and rt73usb.c are compile tested only. Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos Acked-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Acked-by: Gertjan van Wingerde Signed-off-by: John W.

ath9k: Disable PowerSave by default

2013-06-20T18:28:20+00:00

commit 531671cb17af07281e6f28c1425f754346e65c41 upstream. Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode) for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link stability.

b43: stop format string leaking into error msgs

2013-06-20T18:28:20+00:00

commit e0e29b683d6784ef59bbc914eac85a04b650e63c upstream. The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered, and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err() parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware, this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation. CVE-2013-2852 Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mwifiex: fix setting of multicast filter

2013-05-19T17:04:42+00:00

commit ccd384b10420ac81ba3fb9b0a7d18272c7173552 upstream. A small bug in this code was causing the ALLMULTI filter to be set when in fact we were just wanting to program a selective multicast list to the hardware. Fix that bug and remove a redundant if condition in the code that follows. This fixes wakeup behaviour when multicast WOL is enabled. Previously, all multicast packets would wake up the system. Now, only those that the host intended to receive trigger wakeups. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake Acked-by: Bing Zhao Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mwifiex: clear is_suspended flag when interrupt is received early

2013-05-19T17:04:41+00:00

commit 48795424acff7215d5eac0b52793a2c1eb3a6283 upstream. When the XO-4 with 8787 wireless is woken up due to wake-on-WLAN mwifiex is often flooded with "not allowed while suspended" messages and the interface is unusable. [ 202.171609] int: sdio_ireg = 0x1 [ 202.180700] info: mwifiex_process_hs_config: auto cancelling host sleep since there is interrupt from the firmware [ 202.201880] event: wakeup device...

The error is hit within an hour or two. This issue happens when an interrupt comes in early while host sleep is still activated. Driver handles this case by auto cancelling host sleep. However is_suspended flag is still set which prevents any cmd or data from being sent to firmware. Fix it by clearing is_suspended flag in this path.

ath9k: fix key allocation error handling for powersave keys

2013-05-19T17:04:41+00:00

commit 4ef69d0394cba8caa9f75d3f2e53429bfb8b3045 upstream. If no keycache slots are available, ath_key_config can return -ENOSPC. If the key index is not checked for errors, it can lead to logspam that looks like this: "ath: wiphy0: keyreset: keycache entry 228 out of range" This can cause follow-up errors if the invalid keycache index gets used for tx.
