When there is a firmware error or the firmware is reloaded for some other reason we currently clear all station information, including keys associated with them. A problem is that we do not clear some other information regarding keys that are not stored in the station structs. The consequence of this is that when the device is reconfigured after the firmware reload we can, among other things, run out of key indices. This fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16232 http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2221Signed-off-by:

When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK for 5000 series and up. Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting, connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that initially attempted to address this: commit 1152dcc2 Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Date: Fri Jan 15 13:42:58 2010 -0800 iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000 Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design. Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues. For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self protection. Signed-off-by:Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

commit 3474ad63 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Thu Apr 29 04:43:05 2010 -0700 iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_, which the new code no longer did, and normally it _never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually, the code prior to my patch there would have been broken already. The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending on the default filter in the device, which isn't necessarily what we want (since we don't program it right now). Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway. Reported-by:

There are few places where ANI is started without checking if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic. This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset(). This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen with ar9003 + paprd.

ath5k assumes ah_current_channel is always a valid pointer in several places, but a newly created interface may not have a channel. To avoid null pointer dereferences, set it up to point to the first available channel until later reconfigured.

The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message: [ 2213.306191] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Received BA when not expected [ 2213.310178] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Read index for DMA queue txq id (0), index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7. And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving, this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the code is operating in a wrong tx queue! Signed-off-by:

When we receive a deauthentication frame before having successfully associated, we neither print a message nor abort assocation. The former makes it hard to debug, while the latter later causes a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be the case, association timed out. This warning was reported by many, e.g. in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981, but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame instead of an association response. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Move the sysfs_create_group to iwl_ucode_callback after we have safely got the firmware. The motivation to do this comes from a warning from lockdep which detected that we request priv->mutex while holding s_active during a sysfs request (show_statistics in the example copy pasted). The reverse order exists upon request_firmware: request_firmware which is a sysfs operation that requires s_active is run under priv->mutex. This ensures that we don't get sysfs request before we finish to request the firmware, avoiding this deadlock. ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] ------------------------------------------------------- cat/2595 is trying to acquire lock: (&priv->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<facfa598>] show_statistics+0x48/0x100 [iwlagn] but task is already holding lock: (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<c0580ebd>] sysfs_get_active_two+0x1d/0x50 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (s_active){++++.+}: [<c0489b74>] __lock_acquire+0xc44/0x1230 [<c048a1ed>] lock_acquire+0x8d/0x110 [<c0581499>] sysfs_addrm_finish+0xe9/0x180 [<c057f64a>] sysfs_hash_and_remove+0x4a/0x80 [<c05829d4>] sysfs_remove_group+0x44/0xd0 [<c0714b75>] dpm_sysfs_remove+0x15/0x20 [<c070dac8>] device_del+0x38/0x170 [<c070dc1e>] device_unregister+0x1e/0x60 [<c071838d>] _request_firmware+0x29d/0x550 [<c07186c7>] request_firmware+0x17/0x20 [<fad01bf1>] iwl_mac_start+0xb1/0x1230 [iwlagn] [<fa46ba06>] ieee80211_open+0x436/0x6f0 [mac80211] [<c0808cd2>] dev_open+0x92/0xf0 [<c0808b2b>] dev_change_flags+0x7b/0x190 [<c08148e8>] do_setlink+0x178/0x3b0 [<c0815169>] rtnl_setlink+0xf9/0x130 [<c081453b>] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x1bb/0x1f0 [<c0827ce6>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x86/0xa0 [<c081436c>] rtnetlink_rcv+0x1c/0x30 [<c08279c3>] netlink_unicast+0x263/0x290 [<c0828768>] netlink_sendmsg+0x1c8/0x2a0 [<c07f85fd>] sock_sendmsg+0xcd/0x100 [<c07f964d>] sys_sendmsg+0x15d/0x290 [<c07f9e6b>] sys_socketcall+0xeb/0x2a0 [<c040ad9f>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38 -> #0 (&priv->mutex){+.+.+.}: [<c0489f84>] __lock_acquire+0x1054/0x1230 [<c048a1ed>] lock_acquire+0x8d/0x110 [<c08bb358>] __mutex_lock_common+0x58/0x470 [<c08bb84a>] mutex_lock_nested+0x3a/0x50 [<facfa598>] show_statistics+0x48/0x100 [iwlagn] [<c070d219>] dev_attr_show+0x29/0x50 [<c057fecd>] sysfs_read_file+0xdd/0x190 [<c052880f>] vfs_read+0x9f/0x190 [<c0528d22>] sys_read+0x42/0x70 [<c040ad9f>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38 other info that might help us debug this: 3 locks held by cat/2595: #0: (&buffer->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c057fe25>] sysfs_read_file+0x35/0x190 #1: (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<c0580ecd>] sysfs_get_active_two+0x2d/0x50 #2: (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<c0580ebd>] sysfs_get_active_two+0x1d/0x50 stack backtrace: Pid: 2595, comm: cat Not tainted 2.6.33-tp-rc4 #2 Call Trace: [<c08b99ab>] ? printk+0x1d/0x22 [<c0487752>] print_circular_bug+0xc2/0xd0 [<c0489f84>] __lock_acquire+0x1054/0x1230 [<c0478d81>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0x121/0x180 [<c048a1ed>] lock_acquire+0x8d/0x110 [<facfa598>] ? show_statistics+0x48/0x100 [iwlagn] [<c08bb358>] __mutex_lock_common+0x58/0x470 [<facfa598>] ? show_statistics+0x48/0x100 [iwlagn] [<c08bb84a>] mutex_lock_nested+0x3a/0x50 [<facfa598>] ? show_statistics+0x48/0x100 [iwlagn] [<facfa598>] show_statistics+0x48/0x100 [iwlagn] [<c0580cf9>] ? sysfs_get_active+0x69/0xb0 [<facfa550>] ? show_statistics+0x0/0x100 [iwlagn] [<c070d219>] dev_attr_show+0x29/0x50 [<c057fecd>] sysfs_read_file+0xdd/0x190 [<c05ff314>] ? security_file_permission+0x14/0x20 [<c0528242>] ? rw_verify_area+0x62/0xd0 [<c052880f>] vfs_read+0x9f/0x190 [<c047745b>] ? up_read+0x1b/0x30 [<c057fdf0>] ? sysfs_read_file+0x0/0x190 [<c04af3b4>] ? audit_syscall_entry+0x1f4/0x220 [<c0528d22>] sys_read+0x42/0x70 [<c040ad9f>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38 Signed-off-by:Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

When building a kernel with CONFIG_PM=y but neither suspend nor hibernate support, the compiler complains about the static functions ath5k_pci_suspend() and ath5k_pci_resume() not being used: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:713:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_suspend’ defined but not used drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:722:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_resume’ defined but not used Depending on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP rather than CONFIG_PM fixes the issue.

Processing an association response could take a bit of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that time, the AP might already send a blockack request. If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine, we can end up processing the blockack request before the association processing has finished. Since the blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also cannot make it wait in the driver. As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc setup completed. I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves queuing all blockack category action frames from a work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the code and make things easier. However, this is a very involved and complex change. To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be backported to stable, I've come up with this patch. Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames from the managed interface skb queue, which means their processing will be serialized with processing the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

Daniel reported that the paged RX changes had broken blockack request frame processing due to using data that wasn't really part of the skb data. Fix this using skb_copy_bits() for the needed data. As a side effect, this adds a check on processing too short frames, which previously this code could do. Reported-by:

We can wake all queues after a chip reset since everything should be set up and we are ready to transmit. If we don't do that we might end up starting up with stopped queues, not beeing able to transmit. (This started to happen after "ath5k: clean up queue manipulation" but since periodic calibration also stopped and started the queues this effect was hidden most of the time). This way we can also get rid of the superfluous ath5k_reset_wake() function. Signed-off-by:

This bug was introduced by the following commit Author: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com> Date: Thu Apr 15 17:38:46 2010 -0400 ath9k: Remove ATH9K_TX_SW_ABORTED and introduce a bool for this purpose Wrong buffer is checked for bf_tx_aborted field in ath_tx_num_badfrms(), this may result in a rate scaling with wrong feedback (number of unacked frames in this case). It is the last one in the chain of buffers for an aggregate frame that should be checked. Also it misses the initialization of this field in the buffer, this may lead to a situation where we stop the sw retransmission of failed subframes associated to this buffer. Signed-off-by:

ath_print in xmit.c should say "Reseting hardware" instead of Resetting HAL!(since HAL is being fazed out). dmesg shows: [ 8660.899624] ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame [ 8660.899676] ath: Unable to stop TxDMA. Reset HAL! Signed-off-by:

With VEOL, Beacon transmission in ad-hoc does not currently work. I believe for larger ad-hoc networks, VEOL is too unreliable, as it can get beacon transmissions stuck during synchronization. Use SWBA based beacon trasmission similar to AP mode instead. Signed-off-by:
