2010-05-25ath9k: remove VEOL support for ad-hocFelix Fietkau
With VEOL, Beacon transmission in ad-hoc does not currently work. I believe for larger ad-hoc networks, VEOL is too unreliable, as it can get beacon transmissions stuck during synchronization. Use SWBA based beacon trasmission similar to AP mode instead. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Acked-by: Benoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@free.fr> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-05-24ath5k: consistently use rx_bufsize for RX DMABruno Randolf
We should use the same buffer size we set up for DMA also in the hardware descriptor. Previously we used common->rx_bufsize for setting up the DMA mapping, but used skb_tailroom(skb) for the size we tell to the hardware in the descriptor itself. The problem is that skb_tailroom(skb) can give us a larger value than the size we set up for DMA before. This allows the hardware to write into memory locations not set up for DMA. In practice this should rarely happen because all packets should be smaller than the maximum 802.11 packet size. On the tested platform rx_bufsize is 2528, and we allocated an skb of 2559 bytes length (including padding for cache alignment) but sbk_tailroom() was 2592. Just consistently use rx_bufsize for all RX DMA memory sizes. Also use the return value of the descriptor setup function.

2010-05-24cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sockHerbert Xu
Up until now cls_cgroup has relied on fetching the classid out of the current executing thread. This runs into trouble when a packet processing is delayed in which case it may execute out of another thread's context. Furthermore, even when a packet is not delayed we may fail to classify it if soft IRQs have been disabled, because this scenario is indistinguishable from one where a packet unrelated to the current thread is processed by a real soft IRQ. In fact, the current semantics is inherently broken, as a single skb may be constructed out of the writes of two different tasks. A different manifestation of this problem is when the TCP stack transmits in response of an incoming ACK. This is currently unclassified. As we already have a concept of packet ownership for accounting purposes in the skb->sk pointer, this is a natural place to store the classid in a persistent manner. This patch adds the cls_cgroup classid in struct sock, filling up an existing hole on 64-bit :) The value is set at socket creation time. So all sockets created via socket(2) automatically gains the ID of the thread creating it. Whenever another process touches the socket by either reading or writing to it, we will change the socket classid to that of the process if it has a valid (non-zero) classid. For sockets created on inbound connections through accept(2), we inherit the classid of the original listening socket through sk_clone, possibly preceding the actual accept(2) call. In order to minimise risks, I have not made this the authoritative classid. For now it is only used as a backup when we execute with soft IRQs disabled. Once we're completely happy with its semantics we can use it as the sole classid. Footnote: I have rearranged the error path on cls_group module creation. If we didn't do this, then there is a window where someone could create a tc rule using cls_group before the cgroup subsystem has been registered.

2010-05-21iwlwifi: fix internal scan raceReinette Chatre
It is possible for internal scan to race against itself if the device is not returning the scan results from first requests. What happens in this case is the cleanup done during the abort of the first internal scan also cleans up part of the new scan, causing it to access memory it shouldn't. Here are details: * First internal scan is triggered and scan command sent to device. * After seven seconds there is no scan results so the watchdog timer triggers a scan abort. * The scan abort succeeds and a SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION is received for failed scan. * During processing of SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION we clear STATUS_SCANNING and queue the "scan_completed" work. ** At this time, since the problem that caused the internal scan in first place is still present, a new internal scan is triggered. The behavior at this point is a bit different between 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 since 2.6.35 has a lot of this synchronized. The rest of the race description will thus be generalized. ** As part of preparing for the scan "is_internal_short_scan" is set to true. * At this point the completion work for fist scan is run. As part of this there is some locking missing around the "is_internal_short_scan" variable and it is set to "false". ** Now the second scan runs and it considers itself a real (not internal0 scan and thus causes problems with wrong memory being accessed. The fix is twofold. * Since "is_internal_short_scan" should be protected by mutex, fix this in scan completion work so that changes to it can be serialized. * Do not queue a new internal scan if one is in progress.
