Kalle Olavi Niemitalo reported that: "..., when one process calls sendmsg once to send 43804 bytes of data and one file descriptor, and another process then calls recvmsg three times to receive the 16032+16032+11740 bytes, each of those recvmsg calls returns the file descriptor in the ancillary data. I confirmed this with strace. The behaviour differs from Linux 2.6.26, where reportedly only one of those recvmsg calls (I think the first one) returned the file descriptor." This bug was introduced by a patch from me titled "net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector", commit 6209344f. And the reason is, quoting Kalle: "Before your patch, unix_attach_fds() would set scm->fp = NULL, so that if the loop in unix_stream_sendmsg() ran multiple iterations, it could not call unix_attach_fds() again. But now, unix_attach_fds() leaves scm->fp unchanged, and I think this causes it to be called multiple times and duplicate the same file descriptors to each struct sk_buff." Fix this by introducing a flag that is cleared at the start and set when the fds attached to the first buffer. The resulting code should work equivalently to the one on 2.6.26.

When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old qdisc has been destroyed. Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs. Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.

The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore, and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware. It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users out there please let us know!

The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK consume time are different then the values as used by the Legacy drivers. After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that the calculated values caused a high amount of TX failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to excessive retries. The symptoms of this problem: - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely) - Problems with DHCP - Broken connections due to lack of probe response This should fix at least: Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273] Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203] but possible some additional bugs as well.

apply the conformance test limits (CTL) stored in the eeprom upon the values calculated for the tx power (ar->power_*). This is based on the implementation in the vendor driver (hal/hpmain.c, line 3700 ff.) with one difference: If any ctl mode isn't found in the eeprom, we fall back to the "lower", legacy modes (5GHT20,11A or 2GHT20,11G,11B). Otus only did 5GHT20->11A. Currently CTL are applied for the FCC group only. Signed-off-by: Joerg Albert <jal2@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Use a threaded IRQ handler to allow locking the mutex and sleeping while executing an interrupt. This removes usage of the irq_lock spinlock, but introduces a new hardirq_lock, which is _only_ used for the PCI/SSB lowlevel hard-irq handler. Sleeping busses (SDIO) will use mutex instead.

CHANNEL_G has to be set for 2GHZ channels since IS_CHAN_G() checks for this in channelFlags and not in chanmode. To make things messier, ath9k_hw_process_ini() checks for CHANNEL_G in chanmode and not in channelFlags. The supreme, brain-searing fix is to set the flag in both cases.
