      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.

          iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly
      
      broke 3945 under some unknown circumstances, as
      reported by Alex.
      
      Since I want to keep the direct application of
      filter flags on iwlagn, duplicate the code into
      both 3945 and agn and remove committing the
      RXON that broke things from the 3945 version.

      For 5000 and 6000g2b series of devices, use long monitor timer to check
      stuck tx queues.
      
      .6000g2b series device, it is WiFi/BT combo device, there are some cases,
      tx queues are not move for a period of time because the WiFi/BT coex.
      
      .5000 series device, it is being reported firmware got reload more
      often than necessary, so extend the timer to avoid un-necessary reload.

      iwlagn: fix rts cts protection · 94597ab2
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      Currently the driver will try to protect all frames,
      which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an
      RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which
      is clearly bogus.
      
      In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step
      back and see what we need to achieve:
       * we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by
         the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this
       * in that case, CTS-to-self should only be
         enabled when mac80211 tells us
       * additionally, as a hardware workaround, on
         some devices we have to protect aggregated
         frames with RTS
      
      To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON
      accordingly and set the protection required flag
      in the transmit command when mac80211 requests
      protection for the frame.
      
      To achieve the last item, set the rate-control
      RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have
      aggregation sessions with, and set the protection
      required flag when sending aggregated frames (on
      those devices where this is required).
      
      Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the
      user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting
      from sysfs any more.
      
      Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get
      set in the driver and move everything into the
      device-specific functions.
