      mac80211: don't sanitize invalid rates · 5f4e6b2d
      Christian Lamparter authored
      I found this bug while poking around with a pure-gn AP.
      
      Commit:
      cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control
      
      Added some sanity checks to ensure that each tx rate index
      is included in the configured mask and it would change any
      rate indexes if it wasn't.
      
      But, the current implementation doesn't take into account
      that the invalid rate index "-1" has a special meaning
      (= no further attempts) and it should not be "changed".

      carl9170: fix async command buffer leak · cae7f953
      Christian Lamparter authored
      If __carl9170_exec_cmd fails to upload an asynchronous
      command to the device, the functions: carl9170_reboot
      and carl9170_powersave will leak the temporary command
      assembly buffer.

      mac80211: cancel restart_work explicitly instead of depending on flush_scheduled_work() · 99b88a0e
      Tejun Heo authored
      iee80211_hw->restart_work is the only work which uses the system
      workqueue.  Instead of calling flush_scheduled_work() during
      iee80211_exit(), cancel the work during unregistration.
      
      This is to prepare for the deprecation and removal of
      flush_scheduled_work().
