commit 7a532fe713
ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag
This commit used the rx key miss indication to detect packets that were
passed from the hardware without being decrypted, however it seems that
this bit is not only undefined in the static WEP case, but also for
dynamically allocated WEP keys. This caused a regression when using
WEP-LEAP.
This patch fixes the regression by keeping track of which key indexes
refer to CCMP keys and only using the key miss indication for those.

This patch ensures uniformity in event skb sent by interface code
(USB/PCIe/SDIO) which automatically fixes following bugs.
1) For USB interface, same buffer is reused for receiving cmd and
events from firmware. While handling events, we perform
skb_pull(skb, 4) to remove event header. Corresponding skb_push()
call is missing while submitting the buffer.
2) For PCIe interface, event skb is passed with event header.
Recently added uAP events EVENT_UAP_STA_ASSOC, EVENT_UAP_STA_DEAUTH
will not work for PCIe, as they assume event skb points to event body.

After association, STA will go through eapol handshake with WPS
enabled AP. It's observed that WPS handshake fails with some 11n
AP. The reason for the failure is that the eapol packet is sent
via 11n frame aggregation.
The eapol packet should be sent directly without 11n aggregation.
This patch fixes the problem by adding WPS session control while
dequeuing Tx packets for transmission.

Currently we check the sequence number of last packet received
against start_win. If a sequence hole is detected, start_win is
updated to next sequence number.
Since the rx sequence number is initialized to 0, a corner case
exists when BA setup happens immediately after association. As
0 is a valid sequence number, start_win gets increased to 1
incorrectly. This causes the first packet with sequence number 0
being dropped.
Initialize rx sequence number as 0xffff and skip adjusting
start_win if the sequence number remains 0xffff. The sequence
number will be updated once the first packet is received.

rndis_check_bssid_list() originally tried to check if bssid->mac and
match_bssid are equal using compare_ether_addr() when it should use
!compare_ether_addr(). This check was added by commit
b5257c952d as part of workaround for
hardware issue.
Commit 2e42e4747e that replaced
compare_ether_addr with ether_addr_equal relieved that this compare
to be inverse of what it should be.
Compare was added as response to hardware bug, where bssid-list does
not contain BSSID and other information of currently connected AP
(spec insists that device must provide this information in the list
when connected). Lack bssid-data on current connection then causes
WARN_ON somewhere in cfg80211. Workaround was to check if bssid-list
returns current bssid and if it does not, manually construct bssid
information in other ways. And this workaround worked, with inverse
check. Which must mean that when hardware is experiencing the problem,
it's actually returning empty bssid-list and this check didn't make
any difference for workaround.
However inverse check causes workaround be activated when bssid-list
returns only entry, currently connected BSSID. That does not cause
problems in itself, just slightly more inaccurate information in
scan-list.

consider number of vifs already present in addition to checking the

an ADHOC interface is already present. Then we may miss some driver

be treated as a single incompatible interface. Fixes the following

When we remove a key, we put a key index which was supposed

instead the fw took that index as a valid index and messed
up the SRAM of the device.
This memory corruption on the device mangled the data of
the SCD. The impact on the user is that SCD queue 2 got
stuck after having removed keys.
The message is the log that was printed is:

Linus reported that due to mac80211 failing to register
the device (due to WoWLAN) his machine crashed etc. as
we double-freed the vmalloc() firmware area. His patch
to fix it was very similar to this one but I noticed
that there's another bug in the area: we complete the
completion before starting, so since we're running in
a work struct context stop() could be called while in
the middle of start() which will almost certainly lead
to issues.
Make a modification similar to his to avoid the double-
free but also move the completion to another spot so it
is only done after start() either finished or failed so
that stop() can have a consistent state.

Pull device-mapper updates from Alasdair G Kergon:
"Improve multipath's retrying mechanism in some defined circumstances
and provide a simple reserve/release mechanism for userspace tools to
access thin provisioning metadata while the pool is in use."
* tag 'dm-3.5-changes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm:
dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
dm thin: use slab mempools
dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg
dm mpath: reduce size of struct multipath
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.
Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.
Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.
A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

Use dedicated caches prefixed with a "dm_" name rather than relying on
kmalloc mempools backed by generic slab caches so the memory usage of
thin provisioning (and any leaks) can be accounted for independently.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.
With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.
Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.
Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.
If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
few seconds or even several minutes.
