Replenishment of receive buffers is done in the tasklet handling received frames as well as in a workqueue. When we are in the tasklet we cannot sleep and thus attempt atomic skb allocations. It is generally not a big problem if this fails since iwl_rx_allocate is always followed by a call to iwl_rx_queue_restock which will queue the work to replenish the buffers at a time when sleeping is allowed. We thus add the __GFP_NOWARN to the skb allocation in iwl_rx_allocate to reduce the noise if such an allocation fails while we still have enough buffers. We do maintain the warning and the error message when we are low on buffers to communicate to the user that there is a potential problem with memory availability on system This addresses issue reported upstream in thread "iwlagn: order 2 page allocation failures" in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/39187Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: John W.

commit 10c994ca70e8e94bbc85a5bf13de5911ee8de4d2 "iwlwifi: fix remove key error" fixed an error reported by mac80211 during interface down. The fix involved changing an async command to synchronous. Unfortunately this was inside a spinlock section in which we cannot sleep. Modify the sending of the command back to async. This causes the mac80211 error "mac80211-phy0: failed to remove key (0, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) from hardware (-16)." to return. This error is not serious since this occurs during interface down and the keys will be cleared anyway when ucode is unloaded. Having this error message is thus less serious than a potential deadlock introduced when sleeping while holding a spinlock. We will have to find another fix for that error. This is a revert of the abovementioned commit. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

When the DTIM setting is read from beacons, mac80211 will assume it is 1 if the TIM IE is not present or the value is 0. This sounds fine, but the same function processes probe responses as well, which don't have a TIM IE. This leads to overwriting any values previously parsed out of beacon frames. Thus, instead of checking for the presence of the TIM IE when setting the default, simply check whether the DTIM period value is valid already. If the TIM IE is not there then the value cannot be valid (it is initialised to 0) and probe responses received after beacons will not lead to overwriting an already valid value.

The current verison of b43 uses "b43_phyop_switch_analog_generic" for A, G and LP phys. According to the spec, this is the wrong behaviour for the LP PHY (see: http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/802.11/PHY/Anacore ) While no problems on the x86 plattform where seen, this leads to a crash on the BCM5354 SoC (MIPS 32 LE plattform).

There's a check saying /* we're good if we have both BSSID and channel */ if (wdev->conn->params.bssid && wdev->conn->params.channel) { but that isn't true -- we need the BSS struct. This leads to errors such as Trying to associate with 00:1b:53:11:dc:40 (SSID='TEST' freq=2412 MHz) ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: No such file or directory ioctl[SIOCSIWESSID]: No such file or directory Association request to the driver failed Associated with 00:1b:53:11:dc:40 in wpa_supplicant, as reported by Holger. Instead, we really need to have the BSS struct, and if we don't, then we need to initiate a scan for it. But we may already have the BSS struct here, so hang on to it if we do and scan if we don't.

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.
