On review of 'zd1211rw: implement beacon fetching and handling
ieee80211_get_buffered_bc()', Christian Lamparter noted that [1]:
Since zd_beacon_done also uploads the next beacon so long in advance,
there could be an equally long race between the outdated state of the
next beacon's DTIM broadcast traffic indicator (802.11-2007 7.3.2.6)
which -in your case- was uploaded almost a beacon interval ago and
the xmit of ieee80211_get_buffered_bc *now*.
The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the
beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the
hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic
and of course, they might miss it completely.
It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).

For reasons not very clear yet to me, filter_ack leaves matching tx-packet
pending with 'ack_pending'. This causes tx-packet to be passed back to upper
layer after next packet has been transfered and tx-packets might end up
coming come out of monitor interface in wrong order vs. rx.
Because of this when enable AP-mode, hostapd monitor interface would get
packets in wrong order causing problems in WPA association.
So don't use mac->ack_pending when in AP-mode.

Vendor driver uses CR_BNC_INTERVAL at various places, one is HW_EnableBeacon()
that combinies beacon interval with BSS-type flag and DTIM value in upper 16bit
of u32. The other one is HW_UpdateBcnInterval() that set_aw_pt_bi()
appears to be based on. HW_UpdateBcnInterval() takes interval argument as u16
and uses that for calculations, set_aw_pt_bi() uses u32 value that has flags
and dtim in upper part. This clearly seems wrong. Also HW_UpdateBcnInterval()
updates only lower 16bit part of CR_BNC_INTERVAL. So make set_aw_pt_bi() do
calculations on only lower u16 part of s->beacon_interval.
Also set 32bit beacon interval register before reading values from device,
as HW_EnableBeacon() on vendor driver does. This is required to make beacon
work on AP-mode, simply reading and then writing updated values is not enough
at least with zd1211b.

When stress testing AP-mode I hit OOPS when unpluging or rmmodding
driver.
It appears that when tx-queue is disabled, tx-urbs might be left pending.
These can cause ehci to call non-existing tx_urb_complete() (after rmmod)
or uninitialized/reseted private structure (after disconnect()). Add skb
queue for submitted packets and unlink pending urbs on zd_usb_disable_tx().
Part of the problem seems to be usb->free_urb_list that isn't always
working as it should, causing machine freeze when trying to free the list
in zd_usb_disable_tx(). Caching free urbs isn't what other drivers seem
to be doing (usbnet for example) so strip free_usb_list.
Patch makes tx-urb handling saner with use of urb anchors.

This patch eliminates duplicate code. The remove_block_head function
is a special case of remove_block which can be contained in remove_block
without confusion.
The portion of code in remove_block_head which was noted as "DEBUG ONLY"
is now mandatory. Doing this provides consistent management of the double
linked list of blocks under a freelist and makes this consolidation
of delete block code safe. The first and last blocks will have NULL
pointers in their previous and next page pointers respectively.
Additionally, any time a block is removed from a free list the next and
previous pointers will be set to NULL to avoid misuse outside xvmalloc.

Currently zram will do nothing to the page in the bvec when that page
has not been previously written. This allows random data to leak to
user space. That can be seen by doing the following:
## Load the module and create a 256Mb zram device called /dev/zram0
# modprobe zram
# echo $((256*1024*1024)) > /sys/class/block/zram0/disksize
## Initialize the device by writing zero to the first block
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/zram0 bs=512 count=1
## Read ~256Mb of memory into a file and hope for something interesting
# dd if=/dev/zram0 of=file
This patch will treat an unwritten page as a zero-filled page. If a
page is read before a write has occurred the data returned is all 0's.

This change is in a conditional block which is entered only when there is
an existing data block on the freelist where the insert has taken place.
The new block is pushed onto the freelist stack and this conditional block
is updating links in the prior stack head to point to the new stack head.
After this conditional block the first-/second-level indices are updated
to indicate that there is a free block at this location.
This patch adds an immediate return from the conditional block to avoid
setting bits again to indicate a free block on this freelist. The bits
would already be set because there was an existing free block on this
freelist.

xvmalloc will not currently function with 64K pages. Newly allocated
pages will be inserted at an offset beyond the end of the first-level
index. This tuning is needed to properly size the allocator for 64K
pages.
The default 3 byte shift results in a second level list size which can not
be indexed using the 64 bits of the flbitmap in the xv_pool structure.
The shift must increase to 4 bytes between second level list entries to
fit the size of the first level bitmap.
Here are a few statistics for structure sizes on 32- and 64-bit CPUs
with 4KB and 64KB page sizes.
bits_per_long 32 64 64
page_size 4,096 4,096 65,535
xv_align 4 8 8
fl_delta 3 3 4
num_free_lists 508 508 4,094
xv_pool size 4,144b 8,216b 66,040b
per object overhead 32 64 64
zram struct 0.5GB disk 512KB 1024KB 64KB
This patch maintains the current tunings for 4K pages, adds an optimal
sizing for 64K pages and adds a safe tuning for any other page sizes.

bcm driver copies a buffer length provided by userpace without checking it.
RxCntrlMsgBitMask is of type unsigned long so only makes sense to copy

Also, copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes that could not be copied.
The driver is returning that value as error code instead of -EFAULT.
