pid doesn't count with some band having more bitrates than the one associated the first time. Fix that by counting the maximal available bitrate count and allocate big enough space. Secondly, fix touching uninitialized memory which causes panics. Index sucked from this random memory points to the hell. The fix is to sort the rates on each band change.

minstrel doesn't count max rate count in fact, since it doesn't use a loop variable `i' and hence allocs space only for bitrates found in the first band. Fix it by involving the `i' as an index so that it traverses all the bands now and finds the real max bitrate count.

During initialization we would not have received any beacons so skip processing reg beacon hints, also adds a check to reg_is_world_roaming() for last_request before accessing its fields.

We forgot to lock using the cfg80211_mutex in wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Without the lock there is possible race between processing a reply from CRDA and a driver calling wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). During the processing of the reply from CRDA we free last_request and wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory() eventually accesses an element from last_request in the through freq_reg_info_regd(). This is very difficult to reproduce (I haven't), it takes us 3 hours and you need to be banging hard, but the race is obvious by looking at the code. This should only affect those who use this caller, which currently is ath5k, ath9k, and ar9170.

We need to be symmetrical in what is done when key is set and cleared. This is important wrt the key flags as they are used during key clearing and if they are not set when the key is set the key cannot be cleared completely. This addresses the many occurences of the WARN found in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info() and tracked in http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=iwl_set_dynamic_key If calling iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info()/iwl_remove_dynamic_key() pair a few times in a row will cause that we run out of key space. This is because the index stored in the key flags is used by iwl_remove_dynamic_key() to decide if it should remove the key. Unfortunately the key flags, and hence the key index is currently only set at the time the key is written to the device (in iwl_update_tkip_key()) and _not_ in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info(). Fix this by setting flags in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info(). Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The kernel should only be using the high 16 bits of a kernel generated priority. Filter priorities in all other cases only use the upper 16 bits of the u32 'prio' field of 'struct tcf_proto', but when the kernel generates the priority of a filter is saves all 32 bits which can result in incorrect lookup failures when a filter needs to be deleted or modified.

When netconsole is loaded and a network interface fades away (e.g. on rmmod $interface_driver_module) the rmmod remains stuck and some locks are taken that prevent any additional module loading/unloading as well as interface up/down changes. In addition kernel logs (and console) get flooded at 10s interval with [ 122.464065] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1 [ 132.704059] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1 This patch lets netconsole take NETDEV_UNREGISTER event into account and release the affected interface if it was in use.

When skb_rx_queue_recorded() is true, we dont want to use jash distribution as the device driver exactly told us which queue was selected at RX time. jhash makes a statistical shuffle, but this wont work with 8 static inputs. Later improvements would be to compute reciprocal value of real_num_tx_queues to avoid a divide here. But this computation should be done once, when real_num_tx_queues is set.

On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value. This can under heavy traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured. Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking the OOM bit. This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler before attempting to do rx refill. This means that once OOM occurs, we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation of the poll handler. While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already come out of OOM.

After experimenting with kexec with the last merges after 2.6.29, I've had some problems when probing e100. It would not read the eeprom. After some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least 2.6.18). The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that suspend does and puts the device in D3 state. I couldn't find a way to get the device back to a sane state in the probe function. So, based on some similar patches from Rafael J. Wysocki for e1000, e1000e, and ixgbe, I wrote this one for e100.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

Marcel Holtmann authored
The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required since it causes interoperability issues. To support this properly the low security requirement translates into different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing a lot simpler.

The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within 10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is triggered. If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and broken devices now. Based on a report by Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

Use a different work_struct variables for add_conn() and del_conn() and use single work queue instead of two for adding and deleting connections. It eliminates the following error on a preemptible kernel: [ 204.358032] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c [ 204.370697] pgd = c0004000 [ 204.373443] [0000000c] *pgd=00000000 [ 204.378601] Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT [ 204.383361] Modules linked in: vfat fat rfcomm sco l2cap sd_mod scsi_mod iphb pvr2d drm omaplfb ps [ 204.438537] CPU: 0 Not tainted (2.6.28-maemo2 #1) [ 204.443664] PC is at klist_put+0x2c/0xb4 [ 204.447601] LR is at klist_put+0x18/0xb4 [ 204.451568] pc : [<c0270f08>] lr : [<c0270ef4>] psr: a0000113 [ 204.451568] sp : cf1b3f10 ip : cf1b3f10 fp : cf1b3f2c [ 204.463104] r10: 00000000 r9 : 00000000 r8 : bf08029c [ 204.468353] r7 : c7869200 r6 : cfbe2690 r5 : c78692c8 r4 : 00000001 [ 204.474945] r3 : 00000001 r2 : cf1b2000 r1 : 00000001 r0 : 00000000 [ 204.481506] Flags: NzCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel [ 204.488861] Control: 10c5387d Table: 887fc018 DAC: 00000017 [ 204.494628] Process btdelconn (pid: 515, stack limit = 0xcf1b22e0) Signed-off-by: Roger Quadros <ext-roger.quadros@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
