mac80211: rework MLME for multiple authentications
inadvertedly broke WMM because it removed, along with
a bunch of other now useless initialisations, the line
initialising sdata->u.mgd.wmm_last_param_set to -1
which would make it adopt any WMM parameter set. If,
as is usually the case, the AP uses WMM parameter set
sequence number zero, we'd never update it until the
AP changes the sequence number.
Add the missing initialisation back to get the WMM
settings from the AP applied locally.

I noticed yesterday, because Jeff had noticed
a speed regression, cf. bug
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138
that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong.
Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with
the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits.
The bug was part of the original HT code from
over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody
noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't
be overwriting the peer's setting with our own
but rather keep it intact when masking the peer
capabilities with our own.
While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of
capabilities is completely useless for most of
the bits, so also fix those other bits.
Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no
longer exists in the final 802.11n version, so
also remove that.

The libertas driver copies the SSID buffer back to the wireless core and
appends a trailing NULL character for termination. This is
a) unnecessary because the buffer is allocated with kzalloc and is hence
already NULLed when this function is called, and
b) for priv->curbssparams.ssid_len == 32, it writes back one byte too
much which causes memory corruptions.
Fix this by removing the extra write.

I've also for a long time had a problem with the

by byte-swapping the values, and now it turns out
that was the correct fix after all.
Also, any use of iwl_eeprom_query_addr() that is

The construct "le16_to_cpu((__force __le16)(r >> 16))" has
always bothered me when looking through the iwlwifi code,
it shouldn't be necessary to __force anything, and before
this code, "r" was obtained with an ioread32, which swaps
each of the two u16 values in it properly when swapping the
entire u32 value. I've had arguments about this code with
people before, but always conceded they were right because
removing it only made things not work at all on big endian
platforms.
However, analysing a failure of the OTP reading code, I now
finally figured out what is going on, and why my intuition
about that code being wrong was right all along.
It turns out that the 'priv->eeprom' u8 array really wants
to have the data in it in little endian. So the force code
above and all really converts *to* little endian, not from
it. Cf., for instance, the function iwl_eeprom_query16() --
it reads two u8 values and combines them into a u16, in a
little-endian way. And considering it more, it makes sense
to have the eeprom array as on the device, after all not
all values really are 16-bit values, the MAC address for
instance is not.
Now, what this really means is that all the annotations are
completely wrong. The eeprom reading code should fill the
priv->eeprom array as a __le16 array, with __le16 values.
This also means that iwl_read_otp_word() should really have
a __le16 pointer as the data argument, since it should be
filling that in a format suitable for priv->eeprom.
Propagating these changes throughout, iwl_find_otp_image()
is found to be, now obviously visible, defective -- it uses
the data returned by iwl_read_otp_word() directly as if it
was CPU endianness. Fixing that, which is this hunk of the
patch:
- next_link_addr = link_value * sizeof(u16);
+ next_link_addr = le16_to_cpu(link_value) * sizeof(u16);
is the only real change of this patch. Everything else is
just fixing the sparse annotations.
Also, the bug only shows up on big endian platforms with a
1000 series card. 5000 and previous series do not use OTP,
and 6000 series has shadow RAM support which means we don't
ever use the defective code on any cards but 1000.

sizeof(iv16) and sizeof(iv32) are the sizes of pointers. Change them to
the size of the copied data.
Furthermore, iveiv_entry is a local structure that has just been
initialized and is not visible outside this function. Thus, there would
seem to be no point to copy data into it. The order of the arguments is
thus changed to copy the data into the parameters, which are provided as
pointers, suggesting in this case that they should be used to return values.

Recent commits "iwlwifi: remove power-wasting calls to apm_ops.init()" and
"iwlagn: power up device before initializing EEPROM" had the goal of
reducing device power consumption from the time the module is loaded until
the interface is brought up and the device's power saving mechanisms kick
in. The idea is that once the module is loaded there is no need for the
device to consume power until the interface is brought up.
With the current solution the device is only powered up during EEPROM read,
and then so also only if the EEPROM type is OTP. We have found that on
certain platforms even non-OTP devices require power to be up during EEPROM
read. On these platforms the driver never loads and the system log contains
the following:
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!. CSR_GP_CNTRL = 0x080403D8
We thus now power up all devices during EEPROM read.

If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted

avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead

It can happen, that tcp_retransmit_skb fails due to some error.
In such cases we might end up into a state where tp->retrans_out
is zero but that's only because we removed the TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS
bit from a segment but couldn't retransmit it because of the error
that happened. Therefore some assumptions that retrans_out checks
are based do not necessarily hold, as there still can be an old
retransmission but that is only visible in TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS bit.
As retransmission happen in sequential order (except for some very
rare corner cases), it's enough to check the head skb for that bit.
Main reason for all this complexity is the fact that connection dying
time now depends on the validity of the retrans_stamp, in particular,
that successive retransmissions of a segment must not advance
retrans_stamp under any conditions. It seems after quick thinking that
this has relatively low impact as eventually TCP will go into CA_Loss
and either use the existing check for !retrans_stamp case or send a
retransmission successfully, setting a new base time for the dying
timer (can happen only once). At worst, the dying time will be
approximately the double of the intented time. In addition,
tcp_packet_delayed() will return wrong result (has some cc aspects
but due to rarity of these errors, it's hardly an issue).
One of retrans_stamp clearing happens indirectly through first going
into CA_Open state and then a later ACK lets the clearing to happen.
Thus tcp_try_keep_open has to be modified too.

This patch fixes a problem in the TCP connection timeout calculation.
Currently, timeout decisions are made on the basis of the current
tcp_time_stamp and retrans_stamp, which is usually set at the first
retransmission.
However, if the retransmission fails in tcp_retransmit_skb(),
retrans_stamp is not updated and remains zero. This leads to wrong
decisions in retransmits_timed_out() if tcp_time_stamp is larger than
the specified timeout, which is very likely.
In this case, the TCP connection dies after the first attempted
(and unsuccessful) retransmission.
With this patch, tcp_skb_cb->when is used instead, when retrans_stamp
is not available.
This bug has been introduced together with retransmits_timed_out() in
2.6.32, as the number of retransmissions has been used for timeout
decisions before. The corresponding commit was
6fa12c8503 (Revert Backoff [v3]:

Fix the locking scheme on the fec_mpc52xx driver. This device can
receive IRQs from three sources; the FEC itself, the tx DMA, and the
rx DMA. Mutual exclusion was handled by taking a spin_lock() in the
critical regions, but because the handlers are run with IRQs enabled,
spin_lock() is insufficient and the driver can end up interrupting
a critical region anyway from another IRQ.
Asier Llano discovered that this occurs when an error IRQ is raised
in the middle of handling rx irqs which resulted in an sk_buff memory
leak.
In addition, locking is spotty at best in the driver and inspection
revealed quite a few places with insufficient locking.
This patch is based on Asier's initial work, but reworks a number of
things so that locks are held for as short a time as possible, so
that spin_lock_irqsave() is used everywhere, and so the locks are
dropped when calling into the network stack (because the lock only
protects the hardware interface; not the network stack).
