      ath9k_hw: fix parsing of HT40 5 GHz CTLs · 90487974
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      
      The 5 GHz CTL indexes were not being read for all hardware
      devices due to the masking out through the CTL_MODE_M mask
      being one bit too short. Without this the calibrated regulatory
      maximum values were not being picked up when devices operate
      on 5 GHz in HT40 mode. The final output power used for Atheros
      devices is the minimum between the calibrated CTL values and
      what CRDA provides.

      ath9k_hw: Fix EEPROM uncompress block reading on AR9003 · 803288e6
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      
      The EEPROM is compressed on AR9003, upon decompression
      the wrong upper limit was being used for the block which
      prevented the 5 GHz CTL indexes from being used, which are
      stored towards the end of the EEPROM block. This fix allows
      the actual intended regulatory limits to be used on AR9003
      hardware.

      net/ipv4: Eliminate kstrdup memory leak · c34186ed
      Julia Lawall authored
      The string clone is only used as a temporary copy of the argument val
      within the while loop, and so it should be freed before leaving the
      function.  The call to strsep, however, modifies clone, so a pointer to the
      front of the string is kept in saved_clone, to make it possible to free it.
      
      The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:

      libertas: if_sdio: fix buffer alignment in struct if_sdio_card · 557de5eb

      The commit 886275ce (param: lock
      if_sdio's lbs_helper_name and lbs_fw_name against sysfs changes)
      introduced new fields into the if_sdio_card structure. It caused
      missalignment of the if_sdio_card.buffer field and failure at driver
      load time:

      A couple issues here:
      * Some resources weren't released.
      * If alloc_etherdev() failed it would have caused a NULL dereference
        because "pep" would be null when we checked "if (pep->clk)".
      * Also it's better to propagate the error codes from mdiobus_register()
        instead of just returning -ENOMEM.

      "pep->pd" isn't checked consistently in this function.  For example it's
      dereferenced unconditionally on the next line after the end of the if
      condition.  This function is only called from pxa168_eth_probe() and
      pep->pd is always non-NULL so I removed the check.

      phylib: Fix race between returning phydev and calling adjust_link · ef24b16b
      Anton Vorontsov authored
      
      It is possible that phylib will call adjust_link before returning
      from {,of_}phy_connect(), which may cause the following [very rare,
      though] oops upon reopening the device:
      
        Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x0000024c
        Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

        [...]
      
      Here is why. Drivers store phydev in their private structures, e.g.
      gianfar driver:
      
      static int init_phy(struct net_device *dev)
      {
      	...
      	priv->phydev = of_phy_connect(...);
      	...
      }
      
      So that adjust_link could retrieve it back:
      
      static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev)
      {
      	...
      	struct phy_device *phydev = priv->phydev;
      	...
      }
      
      If the device has been opened before, then phydev->state is set to
      PHY_HALTED (or undefined if the driver didn't call phy_stop()).
      
      Now, phy_connect starts the PHY state machine before returning phydev to
      the driver:
      
      	phy_start_machine(phydev, NULL);
      
      	if (phydev->irq > 0)
      		phy_start_interrupts(phydev);
      
      	return phydev;
      
      The time between 'phy_start_machine()' and 'return phydev' is undefined.
      The start machine routine delays execution for 1 second, which is enough
      for most cases. But under heavy load, or if you're unlucky, it is quite
      possible that PHY state machine will execute before phy_connect()
      returns, and so adjust_link callback will try to dereference phydev,
      which is not yet ready.
      
      To fix the issue, simply initialize the PHY's state to PHY_READY during
      phy_attach(). This will ensure that phylib won't call adjust_link before
      phy_start().

      3c59x: Fix deadlock between boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_tx · aa25ab7d
      Neil Horman authored
      
      If netconsole is in use, there is a possibility for deadlock in 3c59x between
      boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit.  Both routines take the vp->lock,
      and if netconsole is in use, a pr_* call from the boomerang_interrupt routine
      will result in the netconsole code attempting to trnasmit an skb, which can try
      to take the same spin lock, resulting in deadlock.
      
      The fix is pretty straightforward.  This patch allocats a bit in the 3c59x
      private structure to indicate that its handling an interrupt.  If we get into
      the transmit routine and that bit is set, we can be sure that we have recursed
      and will deadlock if we continue, so instead we just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so
      the stack requeues the skb to try again later.
