staging: rtl8723bs: Allocate full pwep structure

2022-06-10T07:10:16Z

The pwep allocation was always being allocated smaller than the true structure size. Avoid this by always allocating the full structure.

staging: olpc_dcon: mark driver as broken

2022-06-10T07:09:47Z

The commit eecb3e4e5d9d ("staging: olpc_dcon: add OLPC display controller (DCON) support") added this driver in 2010, and has been in staging since then. It was marked as broken at some point because it didn't even build but that got removed once the build issues were addressed. But it seems that the work to move this driver out of staging has stalled, the last non-trivial change to fix one of the items mentioned in its todo file was commit e40219d5e4b2 ("staging: olpc_dcon: allow simultaneous XO-1 and XO-1.5 support") in 2019. And even if work to destage the driver is resumed, the fbdev subsystem has been deprecated for a long time and instead it should be ported to DRM. Now this driver is preventing to land a kernel wide change, that makes the num_registered_fb symbol to be private to the fbmem.c file. So let's just mark the driver as broken. Someone can then work on making it not depend on the num_registered_fb symbol, allowing to drop the broken dependency again.

staging: r8188eu: Fix warning of array overflow in ioctl_linux.c

staging: r8188eu: fix rtw_alloc_hwxmits error detection for now

2022-06-06T06:09:21Z

In _rtw_init_xmit_priv, we use the res variable to store the error return from the newly converted rtw_alloc_hwxmits function. Sadly, the calling function interprets res using _SUCCESS and _FAIL still, meaning we change the semantics of the variable, even in the success case. This leads to the following on boot: r8188eu 1-2:1.0: _rtw_init_xmit_priv failed In the long term, we should reverse these semantics, but for now, this fixes the driver. Also, inside rtw_alloc_hwxmits remove the if blocks, as HWXMIT_ENTRY is always 4.

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 5.19-rc1. Lots of forward progress happened this development cycle, one driver (wfx wireless driver) got merged into the real portion of the kernel, and another one (unisys) was removed as no one is around anymore to take care of it and no one has the hardware. Combined with loads of tiny driver cleanups overall we removed 13k lines of code from the tree, a nice improvement. Other than the wfx and unisys driver changes the major points of this merge is: - r8188eu driver cleanups. So many cleanups. It's amazing just how many things have been cleaned up here, and yet, how many remain to go. Lots of work happened here, and it doesn't look to slow down any time soon. - other wifi driver cleanups.

BPF --- - Add libbpf support for User Statically-Defined Tracing (USDTs). - Speed up symbol resolution for kprobes multi-link attachments. - Support storing typed pointers to referenced and unreferenced objects in BPF maps. - Add support for BPF link iterator. - Introduce access to remote CPU map elements in BPF per-cpu map. - Allow middle-of-the-road settings for the kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl. - Implement basic types of dynamic pointers e.g. to allow for dynamically sized ringbuf reservations without extra memory copies. Protocols --------- - Retire port only listening_hash table, add a second bind table hashed by port and address. Avoid linear list walk when binding to very popular ports (e.g. 443). - Add bridge FDB bulk flush filtering support allowing user space to remove all FDB entries matching a condition. - Introduce accept_unsolicited_na sysctl for IPv6 to implement router-side changes for RFC9131. - Support for MPTCP path manager in user space. - Add MPTCP support for fallback to regular TCP for connections that have never connected additional subflows or transmitted out-of-sequence data (partial support for RFC8684 fallback). - Avoid races in MPTCP-level window tracking, stabilize and improve throughput. - Support lockless operation of GRE tunnels with seq numbers enabled. - WiFi support for host based BSS color collision detection. - Add support for SO_TXTIME/SCM_TXTIME on CAN sockets. - Support transmission w/o flow control in CAN ISOTP (ISO 15765-2). - Support zero-copy Tx with TLS 1.2 crypto offload (sendfile). - Allow matching on the number of VLAN tags via tc-flower. - Add tracepoint for tcp_set_ca_state(). Driver API ---------- - Improve error reporting from classifier and action offload. - Add support for listing line cards in switches (devlink). - Add helpers for reporting page pool statistics with ethtool -S. - Add support for reading clock cycles when using PTP virtual clocks, instead of having the driver convert to time before reporting. This makes it possible to report time from different vclocks. - Support configuring low-latency Tx descriptor push via ethtool. - Separate Clause 22 and Clause 45 MDIO accesses more explicitly.

ASoC: Updates for v5.19 This is quite a big update, partly due to the addition of some larger drivers (more of which is to follow since at least the AVS driver is still a work in progress) and partly due to Charles' work sorting out our handling of endianness. As has been the case recently it's much more about drivers than the core. - Overhaul of endianness specification for data formats, avoiding needless restrictions due to CODECs. - Initial stages of Intel AVS driver merge. - Introduction of v4 IPC mechanism for SOF. - TDM mode support for AK4613. - Support for Analog Devices ADAU1361, Cirrus Logic CS35L45, Maxim MAX98396, MediaTek MT8186, NXP i.MX8 micfil and SAI interfaces, nVidia Tegra186 ASRC, and Texas Instruments TAS2764 and TAS2780
