ath9k_htc: Restore skb headroom when returning skb to mac80211

2013-09-08T04:49:32+00:00

commit d2e9fc141e2aa21f4b35ee27072d84e9aa6e2ba0 upstream. ath9k_htc adds padding between the 802.11 header and the payload during TX by moving the header. When handing the frame back to mac80211 for TX status handling the header is not moved back into its original position. This can result in a too small skb headroom when entering ath9k_htc again (due to a soft retransmission for example) causing an skb_under_panic oops. Fix this by moving the 802.11 header back into its original position before returning the frame to mac80211 as other drivers like rt2x00 or ath5k do.

Hostap: copying wrong data prism2_ioctl_giwaplist()

2013-08-29T16:42:13+00:00

commit 909bd5926d474e275599094acad986af79671ac9 upstream. We want the data stored in "addr" and "qual", but the extra ampersands mean we are copying stack data instead. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

zd1201: do not use stack as URB transfer_buffer

2013-08-29T16:42:12+00:00

commit 1206ff4ff9d2ef7468a355328bc58ac6ebf5be44 upstream. Patch fixes zd1201 not to use stack as URB transfer_buffer. URB buffers need to be DMA-able, which stack is not. Patch is only compile tested. Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mwifiex: Add missing endian conversion.

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
