Unsigned minus constant is still unsigned so checking its sign makes no sense.

2015-04-24mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISCJohannes Berg
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2014-12-15brcmsmac: don't leak kernel memory via printk()Brian Norris
Debug code prints the fifo name via custom dev_warn() wrappers. The fifo_names array is only non-zero when debugging is manually enabled, which is all well and good. However, it's *not* good that this array uses zero-length arrays in the non-debug case, and so it doesn't actually have any memory allocated to it. This means that as far as we know, fifo_names[i] actually points to garbage memory. I've seen this in my log: [ 4601.205511] brcmsmac bcma0:1: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211: �GeL txop exceeded phylen 137/256 dur 1602/1504 So let's give this array space enough to fill it with a NULL byte.

This patch fixes a regression introduced by: commit 6da3b6c48d79da96a36c2632053cf4f53bf48fb2 Author: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> Date: Sun Mar 24 01:45:52 2013 +0100 brcmsmac: remove brcms_bss_cfg->associated The regression behaviour was described on mailing list. http://mid.gmane.org/5197DC4F.7030503@broadcom.com: "On laptop I installed kernel with brcmsmac compiled as module. It comes up and associates during boot, but after logging in there is no connectivity. Triggering reassoc gives connectivity for some time, but after a while (1-2 min) it stops." Before the mentioned commit the return value of the function brcms_c_ps_allowed() was always false, which is desired behaviour as power-save is not supported at the moment. Therefor, the function is changed to just return false instead of simply reverting the mentioned commit.

2013-02-04brcmsmac: rework of mac80211 .flush() callback operationArend van Spriel
This patch addresses a long standing issue of the driver with the mac80211 .flush() callback. Since implementing the .flush() callback a number of issues have been fixed, but a WARN_ON_ONCE() was still triggered because the timeout on the flush could still occur. This patch changes the awkward design using msleep() into one using a waitqueue. The waiting flush() context will kick the transmit dma when it is idle and the timeout used waiting for the event is set to 500 ms. Worst case there can be 64 frames outstanding for transmit in the driver. At a rate of 1Mbps that would take 1.5 seconds assuming MTU is 1500 bytes and ignoring retries. The WARN_ON_ONCE() is also removed as this was put in to indicate the flush timeout as a reason for the driver to stall. That was not happening since fixing endless AMPDU retries with following upstream commit: commit 85091fc0a75653e239dc8379658515e577544927 Author: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com> Date: Thu Feb 23 18:38:22 2012 +0100 brcm80211: smac: fix endless retry of A-MPDU transmissions bugzilla: 42840 <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42840> bugzilla@redhat: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799168> bugzilla@redhat: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787649> Cc: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Cc: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Cc: Camaleón <noelamac@gmail.com> Cc: Milan Bouchet-Valat <nalimilan@club-internet.fr> Cc: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Reviewed-by: Pieter-Paul Giesberts <pieterpg@broadcom.com> Reviewed-by: Hante Meuleman <meuleman@broadcom.com> Reviewed-by: Piotr Haber <phaber@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com> Acked-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This adds support for bcma wifi core revision 17 which is found on BCM4716/4717/4718 SoCs. The firmware version 610.812 for brcmsmac found in linux-firmware does not support these cores, but a firmware generated with b43-fwcutter from the proprietary broadcom wireless driver works with these chips. This wifi core contains a revision 5 N-PHY and a revision 7 radio of type 0x2056. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
