Quote from comment #17:
"The problem is the innocent looking moving of the tx processing to
after the rx processing in the tasklet. Quoting from the changelog:
This patch does it the same way, except that it also prioritize
rx data processing, simply because tx routines *can* wait.
This is causing an issue with us referencing already freed memory,
because some skb's we transmit, we immediately receive back, such
as those for reading the eeprom (*) and getting stats.
What can happen because of the moving of the tx processing to after
the rx processing is that when the tasklet first runs after doing a
special skb tx (such as eeprom) we've already received the answer
to it.
Then the rx processing ends up calling p54_find_and_unlink_skb to
find the matching tx skb for the just received special rx skb and
frees the tx skb.
Then after the processing of the rx skb answer, and thus freeing
the tx skb, we go process the completed tx ring entires, and then
dereference the free-ed skb, to see if it should free free-ed by
p54p_check_tx_ring()."

there are two ring indices. 1 => tx data and 3 => tx management.
But the old code had a constant "1" and this resulted in spurious

This patch fixes an old problem, which - under certain
circumstances - could cause the device to become
unresponsive.
most of p54pci's rx-ring management is implemented in just
two distinct standalone functions. p54p_check_rx_ring takes
care of processing incoming data, while p54p_refill_rx_ring
tries to replenish all depleted communication buffers.
This has always worked fine on my fast machine, but
now I know there is a hidden race...
The most likely candidate here is ring_control->device_idx.
Quintin Pitts had already analyzed the culprit and posted
a patch back in Oct 2009. But sadly, no one's picked up on this.

This patch moves the tx cleanup routines out of the critical
interrupt context and into the (previously known as rx) tasklet.
The main goal of this operation is to remove the extensive
usage of spin_lock_irqsaves in the generic p54common library.
The next step would be to modify p54usb to do the
rx processing inside a tasklet (just like usbnet).

A long time ago, a user reported several crashes due to
data corruptions which are likely the result of a
not-100%-supported, or faulty? PCI bridge.
( http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/53004/ )
This patch fixes entry #1.
"1. p54p_check_rx_ring - skb_over_panic: Under a ping flood
or just left running for a bit would panic with a skb_over_panic."
As described in the mail: The invalid frame length causes
skb_put to bailout and trigger a crash.
Note:
Simply dropping the frame is problematic, because if its content
contains a tx feedback we would lose some portion of the device
memory space.... And the driver/mac80211 should handle all other
invalid data.

James Grossmann [1] reported that p54 spews out confusing
messages instead of preventing the mayhem from happening.
the reason is that "p54: generate channel list dynamically"
is not perfect. It didn't discard incomplete channel data
sets and therefore p54 advertised to support them as well.

The patch "mac80211: fix PS-poll response race" somehow broke
broadcast buffering in a funny way.
During normal operation - stations are awake - the firmware refused
to transmit broadcast frames and reported P54_TX_PSM_CANCELLED.
But everything worked as soon as one station entered PSM.
The reason:
The stack sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM for outgoing
broadcast frames as soon as a station is marked as sleeping.
This flag triggers a path which will reroute these frames
into p54's "content after beacon" queue, which is designed
to cope with the demands for psm.
This patch restores the old behavior.
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT will once again be used to signalize
the firmware to ignore the ps canceling for certain frames.

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

When a station queries us for a PS-poll response, we wrongly
queue the frame on the virtual interface's queue rather than
the pending queue.
Additionally, fix a race condition where we could potentially
send multiple frames to the sleeping station due to using a
station flag rather than a packet flag. When converting to a
packet flag, we can also convert p54 and remove the filter
clearing we added for it.
