There's a bug in 4965 powersave that appears to be related to the way it keeps track of its data during sleep, but we haven't found it yet. Due to that, using powersave may spontaneously cause the device to SYSASSERT when transitioning from sleep to wake. Therefore, disable powersave for 4965, until (if ever, unfortunately) we can identify and fix the problem. Cf. http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1982 which was closed, but now has re-appeared with IDLE mode, which probably means we never really fixed it.

RX handling maintains a few lists that keep track of the RX buffers. Buffers move from one list to the other as they are used, replenished, and again made available for usage. In one such instance, when a buffer is used it enters the "rx_used" list. When buffers are replenished an skb is attached to the buffer and it is moved to the "rx_free" list. The problem here is that the buffer is first removed from the "rx_used" list _before_ the skb is allocated. Thus, if the skb allocation fails this buffer remains removed from the "rx_used" list and is thus lost for future usage. Fix this by first allocating the skb before trying to attach it to a list. We add an additional check to not do this unnecessarily. Reported-by: Rick Farrington <rickdic@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This fixes a resume failure where a signal is pending on resume so the firmware upload fails. This removes the interruptible sleep, because we don't really need it. In the worst case (with broken firmware) the sleep loop will take 1 second. In the common case (working firmware), it will only take a few milliseconds. So we don't really need to be interruptible.

WEXT's "struct iw_freq" can also be used to handle a channel. This patch now uses cfg80211_wext_freq() instead of hand-converting the frequency.

As the hostap driver was converted to use net_device_ops, a mistake was made in hostap_main.c (commit 5ae4efbc). Originally, the tx_queue_len was set to 0 for every other interface than HOSTAP_INTERFACE_MASTER, but the new fragment of code sets tx_queue_len to 0 only for HOSTAP_INTERFACE_MASTER. The opposite of the previous behavior makes the driver to drop all packets in AP mode. Change the way 0 is assigned to tx_queue_len according to the original logic.

The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace application it is important to classify these devices correctly and not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid. To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available within udev. # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent DEVTYPE=wlan INTERFACE=wlan0 IFINDEX=5 This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc. The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The cure is to disable the controller before changing speed/duplex and enable it afterwards. Though, disabling the controller might take quite a while, so we better not grab any spinlocks in adjust_link(). Instead, we quiesce the driver's activity, and only then disable the controller.

Kalle Olavi Niemitalo reported that: "..., when one process calls sendmsg once to send 43804 bytes of data and one file descriptor, and another process then calls recvmsg three times to receive the 16032+16032+11740 bytes, each of those recvmsg calls returns the file descriptor in the ancillary data. I confirmed this with strace. The behaviour differs from Linux 2.6.26, where reportedly only one of those recvmsg calls (I think the first one) returned the file descriptor." This bug was introduced by a patch from me titled "net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector", commit 6209344f. And the reason is, quoting Kalle: "Before your patch, unix_attach_fds() would set scm->fp = NULL, so that if the loop in unix_stream_sendmsg() ran multiple iterations, it could not call unix_attach_fds() again. But now, unix_attach_fds() leaves scm->fp unchanged, and I think this causes it to be called multiple times and duplicate the same file descriptors to each struct sk_buff." Fix this by introducing a flag that is cleared at the start and set when the fds attached to the first buffer. The resulting code should work equivalently to the one on 2.6.26.

When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old qdisc has been destroyed. Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs. Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.
