We were allocating the size of the NVS file struct and not checking
whether the length of the buffer passed was correct before copying it
into the allocated memory. This is a security hole because buffer
overflows can occur if the userspace passes a bigger file than what is
expected.
With this patch, we check if the size of the data passed from
userspace matches the size required.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.36.

Patch removes the bogus flag introduced by upstream commit
eefdbec1ea. Old code had buffer length check
that new code tried to handle with URB_SHORT_NOT_OK flag. With USB debugging
enabled bogus flag caused usb_submit_urb fail.
Remove URB_SHORT_NOT_OK flag and add buffer length check to urb completion

Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a
BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails.
This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

After new NetworkManager 0.8.996 changes, hardware scanning is causing

Also with hw scan there are very bad performance on some systems
as reported here:

commit 86271e460a introduced a
regression that caused mac80211 queues in stopped state.
ath_drain_all_txq is called in driver flush which would reset
the stopped flag and the mac80211 queues were never started
after that. iperf traffic is completely stalled due to this issue.
Restart the mac80211 queues in driver flush only if the txqs were
drained.

With the recent tx status optimization in mac80211, we bail out as
and and when invalid rate index is found. So the behavior of resetting
rate idx to -1 and count to 0 has changed for the rate indexes that
were not part of the driver's retry series.
This has resulted in ath9k using incorrect rate table index which
caused the system to panic. Ideally ath9k need to loop only for the
indexes that were part of the retry series and so simply use hw->max_rates
as the loop counter.
Pasted the stack trace of the panic issue for reference.

ath9k calls ath9k_hw_stoptxdma every time it sends a beacon, however there
is not much point in doing that if the previous beacon and mcast traffic
went out properly. On AR9380, calling that function too often can result
in an increase of stuck beacons due to differences in the handling of the
queue enable/disable functionality.
With this patch, the queue will only be explicitly stopped if the previous
data frames were not sent successfully. With the beacon code being the
only remaining user of ath9k_hw_stoptxdma, this function can be simplified
in order to remove the now pointless attempts at waiting for transmission
completion, which would never happen at this point due to the different
method of tx scheduling of the beacon queue.

In some situations, stopping Tx DMA frequently fails, leading to messages
like this:
ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame
ath: Failed to stop TX DMA!
This patch uses a few MAC features to abort DMA globally instead of iterating
over all hardware queues and attempting to stop them individually.
Not only is that faster and works with a shorter timeout, it also makes the
process much more reliable.
With this change, I can no longer trigger these messages on AR9380,
and on AR9280 they become much more rare.

terminated. This code puts a terminator on the end to make it easier to
print to sysfs. The problem is that if the mesh_id fills the entire
buffer the original code puts the terminator one spot past the end.
The way the original code was written, there was a check to make sure
that maxlen was less than PAGE_SIZE. Since we know that maxlen is at
