2006-05-05[PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix array overrun in bcm43xx_geo_initMichael Buesch2-19/+30
The problem here is that the bcm34xx driver and the ieee80211 stack do not agree on what channels are possible for 802.11a. The ieee80211 stack only wants channels between 34 and 165, while the bcm43xx driver accepts anything from 0 to 200. I made the bcm43xx driver comply with the ieee80211 stack expectations, by using the proper constants.

2006-05-05[PATCH] softmac: make non-operational after being stoppedDaniel Drake5-3/+40
zd1211 with softmac and wpa_supplicant revealed an issue with softmac and the use of workqueues. Some of the work functions actually reschedule themselves, so this meant that there could still be pending work after flush_scheduled_work() had been called during ieee80211softmac_stop(). This patch introduces a "running" flag which is used to ensure that rescheduling does not happen in this situation. I also used this flag to ensure that softmac's hooks into ieee80211 are non-operational once the stop operation has been started. This simply makes softmac a little more robust, because I could crash it easily by receiving frames in the short timeframe after shutting down softmac and before turning off the ZD1211 radio. (ZD1211 is now fixed as well!) Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-05-05[PATCH] softmac: don't reassociate if user asked for deauthenticationDaniel Drake1-2/+3
When wpa_supplicant exits, it uses SIOCSIWMLME to request deauthentication. softmac then tries to reassociate without any user intervention, which isn't the desired behaviour of this signal. This change makes softmac only attempt reassociation if the remote network itself deauthenticated us.

This patch fixes hello messages sent when a node is a level 1 router. Slightly contrary to the spec (maybe) VMS ignores hello messages that do not name level2 routers that it also knows about.

2006-05-03[TCP]: Fix sock_orphan dead lockHerbert Xu1-4/+9
Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in tcp_close can lead to dead locks. For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without disabling BH. If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock. Another possible path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the tx skb in process context with BH enabled. We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock. The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else. By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this problem. This is because as long as we own the socket lock its state cannot change. So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock. If the socket state has transitioned to TCP_CLOSE in the time being, we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is still ours to keep. Note that I've also moved the increment on the orphan count forward. This may look like a problem as we're increasing it even if the socket is just about to be destroyed where it'll be decreased again. However, this simply enlarges a window that already exists. This also changes the orphan count test by one. Considering what the orphan count is meant to do this is no big deal. This problem was discoverd by Ingo Molnar using his lock validator.

2006-05-03powerpc: Fix incorrect might_sleep in __get_user/__put_user on kernel addressesPaul Mackerras1-6/+13
We have a case where __get_user and __put_user can validly be used on kernel addresses in interrupt context - namely, the alignment exception handler, as our get/put_unaligned just do a single access and rely on the alignment exception handler to fix things up in the rare cases where the cpu can't handle it in hardware. Thus we can get alignment exceptions in the network stack at interrupt level. The alignment exception handler does a __get_user to read the instruction and blows up in might_sleep(). Since a __get_user on a kernel address won't actually ever sleep, this makes the might_sleep conditional on the address being less than PAGE_OFFSET. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-05-02[PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cardsCraig Brind1-0/+6
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames in new transmissions. Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded. On Rhine I cards the data can later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this padding. This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this buffer on to the network. Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used. Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that an aligned buffer will definitely be used. This is to make the change "obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if necessary. There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are only to the Rhine I code path. The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident. Frames shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a separate host. I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual log messages.

2006-05-02[MMC] PXA: reduce the number of lines PXAMCI debug usesRussell King1-6/+3
There's no reason for the PXAMCI debug code to print so many lines - it causes the kernel buffer to overflow when trying to debug this driver. Remove some debug messages which are duplicated by core code, and combine other messages, resulting in fewer characters written to the kernel log.
