      mac80211: fix WMM AP settings application · 0183826b
      Johannes Berg authored
      My
        commit 77fdaa12
      
      
        Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

            mac80211: rework MLME for multiple authentications
      
      inadvertedly broke WMM because it removed, along with
      a bunch of other now useless initialisations, the line
      initialising sdata->u.mgd.wmm_last_param_set to -1
      which would make it adopt any WMM parameter set. If,
      as is usually the case, the AP uses WMM parameter set
      sequence number zero, we'd never update it until the
      AP changes the sequence number.
      
      Add the missing initialisation back to get the WMM
      settings from the AP applied locally.

      mac80211: fix peer HT capabilities · 9a418af5
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      
      I noticed yesterday, because Jeff had noticed
      a speed regression, cf. bug
      http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138
      that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong.
      Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with
      the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits.
      
      The bug was part of the original HT code from
      over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody
      noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't
      be overwriting the peer's setting with our own
      but rather keep it intact when masking the peer
      capabilities with our own.
      
      While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of
      capabilities is completely useless for most of
      the bits, so also fix those other bits.
      
      Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no
      longer exists in the final 802.11n version, so
      also remove that.

      Libertas: fix buffer overflow in lbs_get_essid() · 45b24168
      Daniel Mack authored
      
      
      The libertas driver copies the SSID buffer back to the wireless core and
      appends a trailing NULL character for termination. This is
      
      a) unnecessary because the buffer is allocated with kzalloc and is hence
         already NULLed when this function is called, and
      
      b) for priv->curbssparams.ssid_len == 32, it writes back one byte too
         much which causes memory corruptions.
      
      Fix this by removing the extra write.

      Sujith authored
      
      
      The MIB counters are disabled when doing a chip reset.
      Since ANI depends on the MIB registers for its operation, relying
      on the contents of said registers during HW reset results in sub-optimal
      performance.

      iwl3945: disable power save · bc45a670
      Reinette Chatre authored
      
      
      we see from http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2125
      that power saving does not work well on 3945. Since then power saving has
      also been connected with association problems where an AP deathenticates a
      3945 after it is unable to transmit data to it - this happens when 3945
      enters power savings mode.
      
      Disable power save support until issues are resolved.

      iwlwifi: fix more eeprom endian bugs · b7bb1756
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      
      I've also for a long time had a problem with the
      temperature calculation code, which I had fixed
      by byte-swapping the values, and now it turns out
      that was the correct fix after all.
      
      Also, any use of iwl_eeprom_query_addr() that is
      for more than a u8 must be cast to little endian,
      and some structs as well.
      
      Fix all this. Again, no real impact on platforms
      that already are little endian.

      iwlwifi: fix EEPROM/OTP reading endian annotations and a bug · af6b8ee3
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      
      The construct "le16_to_cpu((__force __le16)(r >> 16))" has
      always bothered me when looking through the iwlwifi code,
      it shouldn't be necessary to __force anything, and before
      this code, "r" was obtained with an ioread32, which swaps
      each of the two u16 values in it properly when swapping the
      entire u32 value. I've had arguments about this code with
      people before, but always conceded they were right because
      removing it only made things not work at all on big endian
      platforms.
      
      However, analysing a failure of the OTP reading code, I now
      finally figured out what is going on, and why my intuition
      about that code being wrong was right all along.
      
      It turns out that the 'priv->eeprom' u8 array really wants
      to have the data in it in little endian. So the force code
      above and all really converts *to* little endian, not from
      it. Cf., for instance, the function iwl_eeprom_query16() --
      it reads two u8 values and combines them into a u16, in a
      little-endian way. And considering it more, it makes sense
      to have the eeprom array as on the device, after all not
      all values really are 16-bit values, the MAC address for
      instance is not.
      
      Now, what this really means is that all the annotations are
      completely wrong. The eeprom reading code should fill the
      priv->eeprom array as a __le16 array, with __le16 values.
      
      This also means that iwl_read_otp_word() should really have
      a __le16 pointer as the data argument, since it should be
      filling that in a format suitable for priv->eeprom.
      
      Propagating these changes throughout, iwl_find_otp_image()
      is found to be, now obviously visible, defective -- it uses
      the data returned by iwl_read_otp_word() directly as if it
      was CPU endianness. Fixing that, which is this hunk of the
      patch:
      
      -               next_link_addr = link_value * sizeof(u16);
      +               next_link_addr = le16_to_cpu(link_value) * sizeof(u16);
      
      is the only real change of this patch. Everything else is
      just fixing the sparse annotations.
      
      Also, the bug only shows up on big endian platforms with a
      1000 series card. 5000 and previous series do not use OTP,
      and 6000 series has shadow RAM support which means we don't
      ever use the defective code on any cards but 1000.

      Therefore, as a stop-gap measure, disable powersaving of the rt61pci

      Also disable powersaving on rt2800pci as it most probably will show

      drivers/net/wireless: Correct code taking the size of a pointer · 855da5e0
      Julia Lawall authored
      
      
      sizeof(iv16) and sizeof(iv32) are the sizes of pointers.  Change them to
      the size of the copied data.
      
      Furthermore, iveiv_entry is a local structure that has just been
      initialized and is not visible outside this function.  Thus, there would
      seem to be no point to copy data into it.  The order of the arguments is
      thus changed to copy the data into the parameters, which are provided as
      pointers, suggesting in this case that they should be used to return values.
      
      A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds the first problem is as
      follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
      
      // <smpl>

      First, we copy/paste the padding stuff from ath9k_tx to ath_tx_cabq since it
      needs to same kind of padding, but for internally generated beacons.
      Next, software padding done on TX needs to be removed before calling
      ieee80211_tx_status. The code was already there in ath_tx_complete but it
      was wrong. Fix it by using ath9k_cmn_padpos. This later code has been
      tested by sending packets to a monitor interface and reading packets from the
      same interface.

      iwlwifi: power up all devices for EEPROM read · f8701fe3
      Reinette Chatre authored
      
      
      Recent commits "iwlwifi: remove power-wasting calls to apm_ops.init()" and
      "iwlagn: power up device before initializing EEPROM" had the goal of
      reducing device power consumption from the time the module is loaded until
      the interface is brought up and the device's power saving mechanisms kick
      in. The idea is that once the module is loaded there is no need for the
      device to consume power until the interface is brought up.
      
      With the current solution the device is only powered up during EEPROM read,
      and then so also only if the EEPROM type is OTP. We have found that on
      certain platforms even non-OTP devices require power to be up during EEPROM
      read. On these platforms the driver never loads and the system log contains
      the following:
      
      iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.  CSR_GP_CNTRL = 0x080403D8
      
      We thus now power up all devices during EEPROM read.

      In iwlwifi, priv->alloc_rxb_page is used to keep track of the Rx
      pages allocated by the driver. This cleans up the page free routines
      by introducing __iwl_free_pages/iwl_free_pages so that the accounting
      is more accurate and less error prone. This also fixes two instances where
      the counter was not updated.

      b44 WOL setup: one-bit-off stack corruption kernel panic fix · e0188829
      Stanislav Brabec authored
      About 50% of shutdowns of b44 Ethernet adapter ends by kernel panic
      with kernels compiled with stack-protector.
      
      Checking b44_magic_pattern() return values, one call of
      b44_magic_pattern() returns 127. It means, that set_bit(128, pmask)
      was called on line 1509. It means that bit 0 of 17th byte of pmask was
      overwritten. But pmask has only 16 bytes. Stack corruption happens.
       
      It seems that set_bit() on line 1509 always writes one bit off.
      
      The fix does not only solve the stack corruption, but also makes Wake
      On LAN working on my onboard B44 on Asus A7V-333X mainboard.
      
      It seems that this problem affects all kernel versions since commit
      725ad800

      In such cases we might end up into a state where tp->retrans_out
      is zero but that's only because we removed the TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS
      bit from a segment but couldn't retransmit it because of the error
      that happened. Therefore some assumptions that retrans_out checks
      are based do not necessarily hold, as there still can be an old
      retransmission but that is only visible in TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS bit.
      As retransmission happen in sequential order (except for some very
      rare corner cases), it's enough to check the head skb for that bit.
      
      Main reason for all this complexity is the fact that connection dying
      time now depends on the validity of the retrans_stamp, in particular,
      that successive retransmissions of a segment must not advance
      retrans_stamp under any conditions. It seems after quick thinking that
      this has relatively low impact as eventually TCP will go into CA_Loss
      and either use the existing check for !retrans_stamp case or send a
      retransmission successfully, setting a new base time for the dying
      timer (can happen only once). At worst, the dying time will be
      approximately the double of the intented time. In addition,
      tcp_packet_delayed() will return wrong result (has some cc aspects
      but due to rarity of these errors, it's hardly an issue).
      
      One of retrans_stamp clearing happens indirectly through first going
      into CA_Open state and then a later ACK lets the clearing to happen.
      Thus tcp_try_keep_open has to be modified too.
      
      Thanks to Damian Lukowski <damian@tvk.rwth-aachen.de> for hinting
      that this possibility exists (though the particular case discussed
      didn't after all have it happening but was just a debug patch
      artifact).

      This patch moves retransmits_timed_out() from include/net/tcp.h
      to tcp_timer.c, where it is used.

      tcp: Stalling connections: Fix timeout calculation routine · 07f29bc5
      Damian Lukowski authored
      This patch fixes a problem in the TCP connection timeout calculation.
      Currently, timeout decisions are made on the basis of the current
      tcp_time_stamp and retrans_stamp, which is usually set at the first
      retransmission.
      However, if the retransmission fails in tcp_retransmit_skb(),
      retrans_stamp is not updated and remains zero. This leads to wrong
      decisions in retransmits_timed_out() if tcp_time_stamp is larger than
      the specified timeout, which is very likely.
      In this case, the TCP connection dies after the first attempted
      (and unsuccessful) retransmission.
      
      With this patch, tcp_skb_cb->when is used instead, when retrans_stamp
      is not available.
      
      This bug has been introduced together with retransmits_timed_out() in
      2.6.32, as the number of retransmissions has been used for timeout
      decisions before. The corresponding commit was
      6fa12c85
      
       (Revert Backoff [v3]:
      Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.).
      
      Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for code suggestions and Frederic Leroy for
      testing.
