Fix various problems: - We converted MESH_ACCESS to a direct command but missed this caller. - We were trying to access mesh stats even on meshless firmware. - We should really zero the buffer if something goes wrong.

Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference in ieee80211_compatible_rates introduced in the patch "mac80211: fix association with some APs".

We removed iwspy support a very long time ago because it is useless, but forgot to stop claiming to support it. Apparently, nobody cares, but remove it nonetheless. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop. If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the variables may see changes from previous packets. For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet. The subsequent packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211 will not try to decrypt it. We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix the other two.

We could not see appropriate lifetime if the route had been scheduled to expired at 0 (in jiffies). We should check rt6i_flags instead of rt6i_expires to determine whether lifetime is valid or not.

A user reported seeing occasional bugs such as the following when using the L2TP driver. SKB BUG: Invalid truesize (272) len=72, sizeof(sk_buff)=208 When L2TP adds its header in the transmit path, it might need to increase the headroom of the skb. In some cases, the increased headroom trips a kernel bug when the skb is freed because the skb has grown beyond its truesize value. The fix is to increase the truesize by the amount of headroom added, after orphaning the skb. While here, fix a misleading comment. Thanks to Iouri Kharon <bc-info@styx.cabel.net> for the initial report and testing the fix. Signed-off-by: James Chapman <jchapman@katalix.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This is a fix for OLPC ticket #6586: "SCAN command fails, timer doesn't fire". In fact, the timer was firing; the problem was that the dnld_sent state variable was not being updated after the timer expired, so lbs_execute_next_command was not being called.

Since commit e38bad47 mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl rt2500usb and rt73usb broke down due to attempting register access in atomic context (which is not possible for USB hardware). This patch restores ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() to use RTNL lock, and provides the non-RTNL version under a new name: ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() So far only rt2x00 uses ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(), and those drivers require the RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(). Since they already call that function directly, this patch will automatically fix the USB rt2x00 drivers. v2: Rename ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_rtnl Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Mark Asselstine authored
The use of cli()/sti() within the do/while was a way to ensure interrupts were only disabled for short periods of time while the bulk of the time interrupts were free to occur. The use of the spin lock has eliminated the need to play with interrupts in this way while still allowing for IO to be protected. The remaining 3 sti() calls seem unneeded now that at no other point in the driver is there a call to cli().

The atm_tcp.h uses types from linux/atm.h, but does not include it. It should also use the standard __u## types from linux/types.h rather than the uint##_t types since the former can be found with the kernel already. Same goes for linux/atm.h. The linux/socket.h include there also gets dropped as atm.h does not actually use anything from socket.h.

Stephen Hemminger authored
It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to generate bogus backtrace and errors. Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.

As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock, get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits. For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock. Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated. With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held. Thanks to Dan Williams for review and fixing the silly bugs.

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page. Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype() returns also random stuff and therefore list_add(&page->lru, &zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]); in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even necessarily a list. This happens since 86051ca5 ("mm: fix usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span() are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens. The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

There is a defect in mprotect, which lets the user change the page cache type bits by-passing the kernel reserve_memtype and free_memtype wrappers. Fix the problem by not letting mprotect change the PAT bits.

Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in vmlinux.lds, not by module loader. To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group ".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu" for modules. Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

Add a common hex array in hexdump.c so everyone can use it. Add a common hi/lo helper to avoid the shifting masking that is done to get the upper and lower nibbles of a byte value. Pull the pack_hex_byte helper from kgdb as it is opencoded many places in the tree that will be consolidated.
