      ath9k: Fix softlockup in AR9485 · bcb7ad7b
      Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored 
      steps to recreate:
load latest ath9k driver with AR9485
stop the network-manager and wpa_supplicant
bring the interface up

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: Fix a WARNING on suspend/resume with IBSS · 2031b4c2
      Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored 
      this patch is dependent on the patch "cfg80211: fix interface
combinations"

In ath9k currently we have ADHOC interface as a single incompatible
interface. when drv_add_interface is called during resume we got to
consider number of vifs already present in addition to checking the
drivers 'opmode' information about ADHOC.  we incorrectly assume
an ADHOC interface is already present. Then we may miss some driver
specific data for the ADHOC interface after resume.

The above mentioned checks can be removed from the driver,
as the patch '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. Fixes the following
warning on suspend/resume with ibss interface.

        ath: phy0: Cannot create ADHOC interface when other
        interfaces already exist.
