When RFKill cuts short a scan, mac80211 cancels the scan.
This is done by sending a host command to the firmware, but
this command was dropped because of RFKill. Flag this
command as "SEND_IN_RFKILL" to make sure it is sent to the
firmware. The firmware will send SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION
which will trigger a call to ieee80211_scan_completed.
If the scan cannot be aborted, it is because the firmware
already finished the scan but we hadn't notified mac80211
at the time mac80211 decided to cancel the scan. By the time
we see the scan could not be aborted, mac80211 has been
notified already.
This patch fixes situations in which we didn't notify
mac80211 upon completion of the scan that was cut short
by RFkill.

When a packet is passed from mac80211 to the driver with the
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PS_RESPONSE flag set, it bypasses the normal driver
internal queueing and goes directly to the UAPSD queue.
When that happens, packets that are part of a BlockAck session still
need to be tracked as such inside the driver, otherwise it will create
discrepancies in the receiver BA reorder window, causing traffic stalls.
This only happens in AP mode with powersave-enabled clients.

601216e "mwifiex: process RX packets in SDIO IRQ thread directly"
introduced a command timeout issue which can be reproduced easily on
an AM33xx platform using a test application written by Daniel Mack:
https://gist.github.com/zonque/6579314
mwifiex_main_process() is called from both the SDIO handler and
the workqueue. In case an interrupt occurs right after the
int_status check, but before updating the mwifiex_processing flag,
this interrupt gets lost, resulting in a command timeout and
consequently a card reset.
Let main_proc_lock protect both int_status and mwifiex_processing
flag. This fixes the interrupt lost issue.

mac80211 scan processing could get stuck if roc work for pending, but
not started when a scan request was deferred due to such roc item.
Normally the deferred scan would be started from
ieee80211_start_next_roc(), but ieee80211_sw_roc_work() calls that only
if the finished ROC was started. Fix this by calling
ieee80211_run_deferred_scan() in the case the last ROC was not actually

Bug 60815 - Interface hangs in mwifiex_usb

We have 4 bytes of interface header for packets delivered to SDIO

In Tx AMSDU case, currently 4 bytes of garbage data is unnecessarily
appended for USB packets. This sometimes leads to a firmware hang,
because it may not interpret the data packet correctly.
Problem is fixed by removing this redundant headroom for USB.

For pcie8897, the hs_cfg cancel command (0xe5) times out when host
comes out of suspend. This is caused by an incompleted host sleep
handshake between driver and firmware.
Like SDIO interface, PCIe also needs to go through firmware power
save events to complete the handshake for host sleep configuration.
Only USB interface doesn't require power save events for hs_cfg.

When the dlc is closed, rfcomm_dev_state_change() tries to release the
port in the case it cannot get a reference to the tty. However this is
racy and not even needed.
Infact as Peter Hurley points out:
1. Only consider dlcs that are 'stolen' from a connected socket, ie.
reused. Allocated dlcs cannot have been closed prior to port
activate and so for these dlcs a tty reference will always be avail
in rfcomm_dev_state_change() -- except for the conditions covered by
#2b below.
2. If a tty was at some point previously created for this rfcomm, then
either
(a) the tty reference is still avail, so rfcomm_dev_state_change()
will perform a hangup. So nothing to do, or,
(b) the tty reference is no longer avail, and the tty_port will be
destroyed by the last tty_port_put() in rfcomm_tty_cleanup.
Again, no action required.
3. Prior to obtaining the dlc lock in rfcomm_dev_add(),
rfcomm_dev_state_change() will not 'see' a rfcomm_dev so nothing to
do here.
4. After releasing the dlc lock in rfcomm_dev_add(),
rfcomm_dev_state_change() will 'see' an incomplete rfcomm_dev if a
tty reference could not be obtained. Again, the best thing to do here
is nothing. Any future attempted open() will block on
rfcomm_dev_carrier_raised(). The unconnected device will exist until
released by ioctl(RFCOMMRELEASEDEV).
The patch removes the aforementioned code and uses the
tty_port_tty_hangup() helper to hangup the tty.

This bug was introduced by commit
7a163bfb7c ("netconsole: avoid a crash with
multiple sysfs writers"). In store_enabled() we have the following
sequence: acquire nt->mutex then rtnl, but in the netconsole netdev
notifier we have rtnl then nt->mutex effectively leading to a deadlock.
The NULL pointer dereference that the above commit tries to fix is
actually due to another bug in netpoll_cleanup(). This is fixed by dropping
the mutex from the netdev notifier as it's already protected by rtnl.

I've been hitting a NULL ptr deref while using netconsole because the
np->dev check and the pointer manipulation in netpoll_cleanup are done
without rtnl and the following sequence happens when having a netconsole
over a vlan and we remove the vlan while disabling the netconsole:
CPU 1 CPU2
removes vlan and calls the notifier
enters store_enabled(), calls
netdev_cleanup which checks np->dev
and then waits for rtnl
executes the netconsole netdev
release notifier making np->dev
== NULL and releases rtnl
continues to dereference a member of
np->dev which at this point is == NULL

The patch 136d8f377e broke the skge driver.
Note this part of the patch:
+ if (skge_rx_setup(skge, e, nskb, skge->rx_buf_size) < 0) {
+ dev_kfree_skb(nskb);
+ goto resubmit;
+ }
+
pci_unmap_single(skge->hw->pdev,
dma_unmap_addr(e, mapaddr),
dma_unmap_len(e, maplen),
PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE);
skb = e->skb;
prefetch(skb->data);
- skge_rx_setup(skge, e, nskb, skge->rx_buf_size);
The function skge_rx_setup modifies e->skb to point to the new skb. Thus,
after this change, the new buffer, not the old, is returned to the
networking stack.
This bug is present in kernels 3.11, 3.11.1 and 3.12-rc1. The patch should
be queued for 3.11-stable.

If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and
ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure
correct defragmentation on the peer.
For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs
that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged
to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator.
If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then
peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did
not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss
or data corruption.

skb->data already points to IP header, but for the sake of
consistency we can also use ip_hdr() to retrieve it.

Without this patch, if a frontend cycles through states Closing
and Closed (which Windows frontends need to do) then the netdev
will be destroyed and requires re-invocation of hotplug scripts
to restore state before the frontend can move to Connected. Thus
when udev is not in use the backend gets stuck in InitWait.
With this patch, the netdev is left alone whilst the backend is
still online and is only de-registered and freed just prior to
destroying the vif (which is also nicely symmetrical with the
netdev allocation and registration being done during probe) so
no re-invocation of hotplug scripts is required.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
- Minor updates and fixes to the Octeon ethernet driver in staging
- A fix to VGA_MAP_MEM() for 64 bit platforms
- Fix a workaround for 74K/1074K processors
- The symlink arch/mips/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings was pointing to a
a file with a name ending in \n. I think this may have been caused
by a git bug with with patches sent by email
- A build fix for VGA console on BCM1480-based systems
- Fix PCI device access via "/sys/bus/pci/.../resource0" or similar
work for Alchemy platforms
- Fix potential data leak on MIPS R5 cores. This doesn't add proper
support for any R5 features, just ensures a kernel without such
support will be secure to run
- Adding a macros for the CP0 Config5 register to be used by the R5 fix
- Make get_cycles() actually return something useful where possible
This also requires a preparatory patch for performance sake
- Fix a warning about the use of smp_processor_id() in preemptible
code. Again this includes a preparatory patch adding the
infrastructure to be used by the actual patch
- Finally remove pointless one-line comment

MIPS: Fix invalid symbolic link file
MIPS: PCI: pci-bcm1480: Include missing vt.h header
MIPS: Disable usermode switching of the FR bit for MIPS R5 CPUs.
MIPS: Add MIPS R5 config5 register.
MIPS: PCI: Use pci_resource_to_user to map pci memory space properly
MIPS: 74K/1074K: Correct erratum workaround.
MIPS: Cleanup CP0 PRId and CP1 FPIR register access masks
MIPS: Remove useless comment about kprobe from arch/mips/Makefile
MIPS: Fix VGA_MAP_MEM macro.
MIPS: Reimplement get_cycles().
MIPS: Optimize current_cpu_type() for better code.
MIPS: Fix accessing to per-cpu data when flushing the cache
MIPS: Provide nice way to access boot CPU's data.
