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

usbnet: do not pretend to support SG/TSO

2013-08-11T22:38:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 20f0170377264e8449b6987041f0bcc4d746d3ed ] usbnet doesn't support yet SG, so drivers should not advertise SG or TSO capabilities, as they allow TCP stack to build large TSO packets that need to be linearized and might use order-5 pages. This adds an extra copy overhead and possible allocation failures. Current code ignore skb_linearize() return code so crashes are even possible. Best is to not pretend SG/TSO is supported, and add this again when/if usbnet really supports SG for devices who could get a performance gain.

arcnet: cleanup sizeof parameter

[ Upstream commit 087d273caf4f7d3f2159256f255f1f432bc84a5b ] This patch doesn't change the compiled code because ARC_HDR_SIZE is 4 and sizeof(int) is 4, but the intent was to use the header size and not the sizeof the header size.

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.

virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing

2013-08-04T07:43:40+00:00

commit cbdadbbf0c790f79350a8f36029208944c5487d0 upstream virtio net called virtqueue_enable_cq on RX path after napi_complete, so with NAPI_STATE_SCHED clear - outside the implicit napi lock. This violates the requirement to synchronize virtqueue_enable_cq wrt virtqueue_add_buf. In particular, used event can move backwards, causing us to lose interrupts. In a debug build, this can trigger panic within START_USE. Jason Wang reports that he can trigger the races artificially, by adding udelay() in virtqueue_enable_cb() after virtio_mb(). However, we must call napi_complete to clear NAPI_STATE_SCHED before polling the virtqueue for used buffers, otherwise napi_schedule_prep in a callback will fail, causing us to lose RX events. To fix, call virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare with NAPI_STATE_SCHED set (under napi lock), later call virtqueue_poll with NAPI_STATE_SCHED clear (outside the lock).
