      iwlwifi: fix activating inactive stations · eac9ac6d
      Johannes Berg authored
      When authentication/association timed out, the driver would
      complain bitterly, printing the message
      ACTIVATE a non DRIVER active station id ... addr ...
      
      The cause turns out to be that when the AP station is added
      but we don't associate, the IWL_STA_UCODE_INPROGRESS is set
      but never cleared. This then causes iwl_restore_stations()
      to attempt to resend it because it uses the flag internally
      and uploads even if it didn't set it itself.
      
      To fix this issue and not upload the station again when it
      has already been removed by mac80211, clear the flag after
      adding it in case we add it only for association.

      warning: (WL12XX) selects WLCORE which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && WLAN && WL_TI && GENERIC_HARDIRQS && MAC80211 && INET)
      
      The INET dependency was added in commit
      3c6af5b5:
          wl1271_main.c:(.text+0x271052): undefined reference to `unregister_inetaddr_

      tifier'
      
          Driver is doing some filtering based on IP addresses...
      
      but this driver no longer has that code and it builds fine even when
      CONFIG_INET is not enabled, so drop that dependency and eliminate the
      kconfig warning message.

      ath9k: fix dynamic WEP related regression · bed3d9c0
      Felix Fietkau authored
      commit 7a532fe7
      ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag
      
      This commit used the rx key miss indication to detect packets that were
      passed from the hardware without being decrypted, however it seems that
      this bit is not only undefined in the static WEP case, but also for
      dynamically allocated WEP keys. This caused a regression when using
      WEP-LEAP.
      
      This patch fixes the regression by keeping track of which key indexes
      refer to CCMP keys and only using the key miss indication for those.

      ensure that the PLL-WAR for AR9485/AR9340 is executed only if the STA is
      associated (or) IBSS/AP mode had started beaconing. Ideally this WAR
      is needed to recover from some rare beacon stuck during stress testing.
      Before the STA is associated/IBSS had started beaconing, PLL4(0x1618c)
      always seem to have zero even though we had configured PLL3(0x16188) to
      query about PLL's locking status. When we keep on polling infinitely PLL4's
      8th bit(ie check for PLL locking measurements is done), machine hangs
      due to softlockup.

      mac80211: stop polling in disassociation · 79543d8e
      David Spinadel authored
      Stop connection monitor poll during disassociation.
      This clears the polling flags and if a scan was
      deferred it will be run.
      
      Without this fix, if a scan was deferred due to
      connection monitoring while disassociation happens,
      this scan blocks further scan requests until interface
      down/up which causes problems connecting to another AP.

      cfg80211: fix potential deadlock in regulatory · fe20b39e
      Eliad Peller authored
      reg_timeout_work() calls restore_regulatory_settings() which
      takes cfg80211_mutex.
      
      reg_set_request_processed() already holds cfg80211_mutex
      before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(reg_timeout),
      so it might deadlock.
      
      Call the async cancel_delayed_work instead, in order
      to avoid the potential deadlock.
      
      This is the relevant lockdep warning:

      rndis_wlan: fix matching bssid check in rndis_check_bssid_list() · b0fd49b7
      Jussi Kivilinna authored
      rndis_check_bssid_list() originally tried to check if bssid->mac and
      match_bssid are equal using compare_ether_addr() when it should use
      !compare_ether_addr(). This check was added by commit
      b5257c95 as part of workaround for
      hardware issue.
      
      Commit 2e42e474 that replaced
      compare_ether_addr with ether_addr_equal relieved that this compare
      to be inverse of what it should be.
      
      Compare was added as response to hardware bug, where bssid-list does
      not contain BSSID and other information of currently connected AP
      (spec insists that device must provide this information in the list
      when connected). Lack bssid-data on current connection then causes
      WARN_ON somewhere in cfg80211. Workaround was to check if bssid-list
      returns current bssid and if it does not, manually construct bssid
      information in other ways. And this workaround worked, with inverse
      check. Which must mean that when hardware is experiencing the problem,
      it's actually returning empty bssid-list and this check didn't make
      any difference for workaround.
      
      However inverse check causes workaround be activated when bssid-list
      returns only entry, currently connected BSSID. That does not cause
      problems in itself, just slightly more inaccurate information in
      scan-list.

      ath9k: remove incompatible IBSS interface check in change_iface · a23415fd
      Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored
      'cfg80211: fix interface combinations' ensures that if an interface
      type is not advertised by the driver in any of the interface combinations
      (via ieee80211_iface_combination) then it shall be treated as a single
      incompatible interface. if there are more than one interfaces present
      and changing them to incompatible interface type is not possible.
      These checks will be properly handled by cfg80211_change_iface ->
      cfg80211_can_change_interface.
      
      this patch is dependent on 'cfg80211: fix interface combinations'
