I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected
OOM. After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side
and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side. As
the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal
skb, the host cannot proceed.
The guest did not have a refill job scheduled.
My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill
job scheduled. The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but
not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed.
As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely
to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall.
The following patch removes this stall possibility by always
rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled.
Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas
previously it would occur within a day.

The low-level MCDI code always uses 32-bit MMIO operations, and
callers must pad input and output buffers to multiples of 4 bytes.
The MCDI NVRAM functions are not doing this. Also, their buffers are
declared as variable-length arrays with no explicit maximum length.
Switch to a fixed buffer size based on the chunk size used by the
MTD driver (which is a multiple of 4).

mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment
I inserted code testing the wrong flags field,
which means that the test is almost always true
(it's really testing for the peer's WMM support)
and thus the later parts of the stack assume hw
crypto will be done even if that's not true.
Obviously, that broke software crypto. Maxim
said so specifically, and Jochen probably uses
some cipher that iwl3945 doesn't support in
hardware, which might also explain that Maxim
reports that even hw crypto is broken.
Fix this to test the right flags field.

The TKIP key update callback is called from the RX path, where the driver
mutex is already locked. This results in a circular locking bug.
Avoid this by removing the lock.
Johannes noted that there is a separate bug: The callback still breaks on SDIO
hardware, because SDIO hardware access needs to sleep, but we are not allowed
to sleep in the callback due to mac80211's RCU locking.

mac80211: make off-channel work generic
triggered a bug in iwlwifi where HT parameters would not be correctly set in
some mac80211 pathways. The aggregation (and possibly other) station flags were
not being set, which limited the size of aggregation blocks and reduced
throughput at high rates.
>From Johannes:
"""
Due to Wey-Yi's patch to use the set-channel command when the channel changes
while associated, we don't get a full new RXON. Therefore, we don't re-set the
rxon-station either. However, under some circumstances that apparently have
gotten more likely mac80211 will first set up the BSS info, then add the
station and then switch to an HT channel type.
Therefore, the check for "priv->current_ht_config.is_ht" in
iwl_rxon_add_station() will hit false and not fill in the HT information.
However, that check can just be removed, which is the easiest fix for all this,
because the HT capa struct is always there, just could possibly have the
ht_supported member set to false.

In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been

when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware
SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see

this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting.
Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be
added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers
has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains
as it has been enabled all the time.
In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig

Adding "bt_coex_active" module parameter for iwlcore to enable/disable
BT coexist; if bt_coex_active is true (default), uCode will do kill/defer
every time the priority line is asserted (BT is sending signals on the
priority line in the PCIx). By disable the bt_coex_active, uCode will
ignore the BT activity and perform the normal operation.
Users might experience transmit issue on some platform due to this
WiFi/BT co-exist problem. The possible symptoms are: NetworkManager and
other similar programs can scan and find all the available APs, but will
timeout and unable to associate with any of the APs; no out-going frames
can be found with wireless sniffer tools.
On those platforms, WiFi communication can be restored by set "bt_coex_active"

Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it
in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and
iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add
that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality
resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code
reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This
seems to be an efficient solution.
It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945
broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since
the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always
set.

We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune. There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point. By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.
To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

This patch allows A band to be scanned when driver is associated to AP.
Scan mechanism is that mac80211/cfg80211 requests driver to scan G band
first and then immediately to scan A band. Original code require
driver to wait for 2 seconds after any scan before another scan will be
performed. This caused driver to service G band scan request from

Adding "radio reset" function to help reset and stabilize the radio.
During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter
problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to
recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is
no RF reset command available, but since radio will get reset when
switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio
reset and get back to normal operation state.
The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first
available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The
request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is
not in associated state.
Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the
internal scan from user mode.

Previously, if the MDS request was interrupted, we would unregister the
request and ignore any reply. This could cause the caps or other cache
state to become out of sync. (For instance, aborting dbench and doing
rm -r on clients would complain about a non-empty directory because the
client didn't realize it's aborted file create request completed.)
Even we don't unregister, we still can't process the reply normally because
we are no longer holding the caller's locks (like the dir i_mutex).
So, mark aborted operations with r_aborted, and in the reply handler, be
sure to process all the caps. Do not process the namespace changes,
though, since we no longer will hold the dir i_mutex. The dentry lease
state can also be ignored as it's more forgiving.

The aer_inject module hangs in aer_inject() when checking the device's

The aer_inject() routine grabs the lock while processing the error and then
calls pci_read_config_dword to read the masks. The pci_read_config_dword
routine is earlier overridden by pci_read_aer, which among other things,
grabs the aer_inject lock.
Fixed by moving the pci_read_config_dword calls to read the masks to before
