Check whether index is within bounds before testing the element. (also includes "Libertas: Association request to the driver failed" The size of the tmp buffer was too small, causing a regression rates->rates has an arraysize of 1, so a memcpy with MAX_RATES (14) was already causing reads out of bounds. In get_common_rates() the memset/memcpy can be moved upwards. -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com> Tested-by: Daniel Mack <daniel@caiaq.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

Due to the way the tasklets work in mac80211 there's no need to ever disable them. However, we need to clear the pending packets when taking down the last interface because otherwise the tx_pending_tasklet might be queued if the driver mucks with the queues (which it shouldn't). I've had a situation occasionally with ar9170 in which ksoftirq was using 100% CPU time because a disabled tasklet was scheduled, and I think that was due to ar9170 receiving a packet while the tasklet was disabled. That's strange and it really should not do that for other reasons, but there's no need to waste that much CPU time over it, it should just warn instead.

When the interface type changes while connected, and the driver does not require the interface to be down for a type change, it is currently possible to get very strange results unless the driver takes special care, which it shouldn't have to. To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail the call. Also process all events that may be pending to avoid running into a situation where an event is reported but only processed after the type has already changed, which would lead to missing events and warnings. A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails, but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or disconnect, this is not a problem.

Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due to a race condition between drivers and userspace, when the driver reports joined but the user in the meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck delaying the code that does the check and sends the event. So first, make the warning trigger closer to the driver, which means it's not locked, but since only the warning depends on it that's ok. And secondly, users will not want to have spurious warnings at all, so make those that are known to be racy in such a way configurable.

When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after the driver. However, it currently does this too early, it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a scan request is still pending and exit if not.

Since configure_filter can sleep now, any multicast configuration needed to be postponed to a work struct. This, however, lead to a problem that we could queue the work, stop the device and then afterwards invoke configure_filter which may lead to driver hangs and is a bug. To fix this, we can just cancel the filter work since it's unnecessary to do after stopping the hw. Since there are various places that call drv_stop, and two of them do very similar things, the code for them can be put into a shared function at the same time.

The patch "mac80211: fix PS-poll response race" somehow broke broadcast buffering in a funny way. During normal operation - stations are awake - the firmware refused to transmit broadcast frames and reported P54_TX_PSM_CANCELLED. But everything worked as soon as one station entered PSM. The reason: The stack sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM for outgoing broadcast frames as soon as a station is marked as sleeping. This flag triggers a path which will reroute these frames into p54's "content after beacon" queue, which is designed to cope with the demands for psm. This patch restores the old behavior. IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT will once again be used to signalize the firmware to ignore the ps canceling for certain frames.

When the interface is put in bridged mode, destination mac addresses are unknown to firmware. So packets take a slow path (lower priority) in firmware reducing performance. Firmware can cache limited number of remote unicast mac addresses for certain interval, if "dynamic mac learning" mode is enabled. Driver needs to enable this "mac learning" mode in firmware. Currently this is done through net device class sysfs entry, possibly this can also be done upon netlink notifications to from bridge.
