iwlwifi: mvm: disable CTS to Self

2014-07-28T15:08:29+00:00

commit dc271ee0d04d12d6bfabacbec803289a7072fbd9 upstream. Firmware folks seem say that this flag can make trouble. Drop it. The advantage of CTS to self is that it slightly reduces the cost of the protection, but make the protection less reliable. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mwifiex: fix Tx timeout issue

2014-07-28T15:08:26+00:00

commit d76744a93246eccdca1106037e8ee29debf48277 upstream. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70191 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77581 It is observed that sometimes Tx packet is downloaded without adding driver's txpd header. This results in firmware parsing garbage data as packet length. Sometimes firmware is unable to read the packet if length comes out as invalid. This stops further traffic and timeout occurs. The root cause is uninitialized fields in tx_info(skb->cb) of packet used to get garbage values. In this case if MWIFIEX_BUF_FLAG_REQUEUED_PKT flag is mistakenly set, txpd header was skipped. This patch makes sure that tx_info is correctly initialized to fix the problem.

xen-netback: Fix releasing header slot on error path

2014-07-28T15:08:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1b860da0404a76af8533099ffe0a965490939369 ] This patch makes this function aware that the first frag and the header might share the same ring slot. That could happen if the first slot is bigger than PKT_PROT_LEN. Due to this the error path might release that slot twice or never, depending on the error scenario. xenvif_idx_release is also removed from xenvif_idx_unmap, and called separately.

xen-netback: Fix releasing frag_list skbs in error path

2014-07-28T15:08:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit b42cc6e421e7bf74e545483aa34b99d2a2ca6d3a ] When the grant operations failed, the skb is freed up eventually, and it tries to release the frags, if there is any. For the main skb nr_frags is set to 0 to avoid this, but on the frag_list it iterates through the frags array, and tries to call put_page on the page pointer which contains garbage at that time.

net: ppp: don't call sk_chk_filter twice

2014-07-28T15:08:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3916a3192793fd3c11f69d623ef0cdbdbf9ea10a ] Commit 568f194e8bd16c353ad50f9ab95d98b20578a39d ("net: ppp: use sk_unattached_filter api") causes sk_chk_filter() to be called twice when setting a PPP pass or active filter. This applies to both the generic PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The first call is from within get_filter(). The second one is through the call chain ppp_ioctl() or isdn_ppp_ioctl() --> sk_unattached_filter_create() --> __sk_prepare_filter() --> sk_chk_filter() The first call from within get_filter() should be deleted as get_filter() is called just before calling sk_unattached_filter_create() later on, which eventually calls sk_chk_filter() anyway. For 3.15.x, this proposed change is a bugfix rather than a pure optimization as in that branch, sk_chk_filter() may replace filter codes by other codes which are not recognized when executing sk_chk_filter() a second time. So with 3.15.x, if sk_chk_filter() is called twice, the second invocation may yield EINVAL (this depends on the filter codes found in the filter to be set, but because the replacement is done for frequently used codes, this is almost always the case). The net effect is that setting pass and/or active PPP filters does not work anymore, since sk_unattached_filter_create() always returns EINVAL due to the second call to sk_chk_filter(), regardless whether the filter was originally sane or not.

net: ppp: fix creating PPP pass and active filters

2014-07-28T15:08:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit cc25eaae238ddd693aa5eaa73e565d8ff4915f6e ] Commit 568f194e8bd16c353ad50f9ab95d98b20578a39d ("net: ppp: use sk_unattached_filter api") inadvertently changed the logic when setting PPP pass and active filters. This applies to both the generic PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The original code in ppp_ioctl() (or isdn_ppp_ioctl(), resp.) handling PPPIOCSPASS and PPPIOCSACTIVE allowed to remove a pass/active filter previously set by using a filter of length zero. However, with the new code this is not possible anymore as this case is not explicitly checked for, which leads to passing NULL as a filter to sk_unattached_filter_create(). This results in returning EINVAL to the caller. Additionally, the variables ppp->pass_filter and ppp->active_filter (or is->pass_filter and is->active_filter, resp.) are not reset to NULL, although the filters they point to may have been destroyed by sk_unattached_filter_destroy(), so in this EINVAL case dangling pointers are left behind (provided the pointers were previously non-NULL). This patch corrects both problems by checking whether the filter passed is empty or non-empty, and prevents sk_unattached_filter_create() from being called in the first case. Moreover, the pointers are always reset to NULL as soon as sk_unattached_filter_destroy() returns. Signed-off-by: Christoph Schulz Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sunvnet: clean up objects created in vnet_new() on vnet_exit()
