Make sure hci_dev_open returns immediately if hci_dev_unregister has been called. This fixes a race between hci_dev_open and hci_dev_unregister which can lead to a NULL-pointer dereference. Bug is 100% reproducible using hciattach and a disconnected serial port: 0. # hciattach -n /dev/ttyO1 any noflow 1. hci_dev_open called from hci_power_on grabs req lock 2. hci_init_req executes but device fails to initialise (times out eventually) 3. hci_dev_open is called from hci_sock_ioctl and sleeps on req lock 4. hci_uart_tty_close calls hci_dev_unregister and sleeps on req lock in hci_dev_do_close 5. hci_dev_open (1) releases req lock 6. hci_dev_do_close grabs req lock and returns as device is not up 7. hci_dev_unregister sleeps in destroy_workqueue 8. hci_dev_open (3) grabs req lock, calls hci_init_req and eventually sleeps 9. hci_dev_unregister finishes, while hci_dev_open is still running...

Do not close protocol driver until device has been unregistered. This fixes a race between tty_close and hci_dev_open which can result in a NULL-pointer dereference. The line discipline closes the protocol driver while we may still have hci_dev_open sleeping on the req_lock mutex resulting in a NULL-pointer dereference when lock is acquired and hci_init_req called. Bug is 100% reproducible using hciattach and a disconnected serial port: 0. # hciattach -n ttyO1 any noflow 1. hci_dev_open called from hci_power_on grabs req lock 2. hci_init_req executes but device fails to initialise (times out eventually) 3. hci_dev_open is called from hci_sock_ioctl and sleeps on req lock 4. hci_uart_tty_close detaches protocol driver and cancels init req 5. hci_dev_open (1) releases req lock 6. hci_dev_open (3) grabs req lock, calls hci_init_req, which triggers oops when request is prepared in hci_uart_send_frame [ 137.201263] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000028 [ 137.209838] pgd = c0004000 [ 137.212677] [00000028] *pgd=00000000 [ 137.216430] Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] [ 137.220642] Modules linked in: [ 137.223846] CPU: 0 Tainted: G W (3.3.0-rc6-dirty #406) [ 137.230529] PC is at __lock_acquire+0x5c/0x1ab0 [ 137.235290] LR is at lock_acquire+0x9c/0x128 [ 137.239776] pc : [<c0071490>] lr : [<c00733f8>] psr: 20000093 [ 137.239776] sp : cf869dd8 ip : c0529554 fp : c051c730 [ 137.251800] r10: 00000000 r9 : cf8673c0 r8 : 00000080 [ 137.257293] r7 : 00000028 r6 : 00000002 r5 : 00000000 r4 : c053fd70 [ 137.264129] r3 : 00000000 r2 : 00000000 r1 : 00000000 r0 : 00000001 [ 137.270965] Flags: nzCv IRQs off FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel [ 137.278717] Control: 10c5387d Table: 8f0f4019 DAC: 00000015 [ 137.284729] Process kworker/u:1 (pid: 7, stack limit = 0xcf8682e8) [ 137.291229] Stack: (0xcf869dd8 to 0xcf86a000) [ 137.295776] 9dc0: c0529554 00000000 [ 137.304351] 9de0: cf8673c0 cf868000 d03ea1ef cf868000 000001ef 00000470 00000000 00000002 [ 137.312927] 9e00: cf8673c0 00000001 c051c730 c00716ec 0000000c 00000440 c0529554 00000001 [ 137.321533] 9e20: c051c730 cf868000 d03ea1f3 00000000 c053b978 00000000 00000028 cf868000 [ 137.330078] 9e40: 00000000 00000000 00000002 00000000 00000000 c00733f8 00000002 00000080 [ 137.338684] 9e60: 00000000 c02a1d50 00000000 00000001 60000013 c0969a1c 60000093 c053b96c [ 137.347259] 9e80: 00000002 00000018 20000013 c02a1d50 cf0ac000 00000000 00000002 cf868000 [ 137.355834] 9ea0: 00000089 c0374130 00000002 00000000 c02a1d50 cf0ac000 0000000c cf0fc540 [ 137.364410] 9ec0: 00000018 c02a1d50 cf0fc540 00000000 cf0fc540 c0282238 c028220c cf178d80 [ 137.372985] 9ee0: 127525d8 c02821cc 9a1fa451 c032727c 9a1fa451 127525d8 cf0fc540 cf0ac4ec [ 137.381561] 9f00: cf0ac000 cf0fc540 cf0ac584 c03285f4 c0328580 cf0ac4ec cf85c740 c05510cc [ 137.390136] 9f20: ce825400 c004c914 00000002 00000000 c004c884 ce8254f5 cf869f48 00000000 [ 137.398712] 9f40: c0328580 ce825415 c0a7f914 c061af64 00000000 c048cf3c cf8673c0 cf85c740 [ 137.407287] 9f60: c05510cc c051a66c c05510ec c05510c4 cf85c750 cf868000 00000089 c004d6ac [ 137.415863] 9f80: 00000000 c0073d14 00000001 cf853ed8 cf85c740 c004d558 00000013 00000000 [ 137.424438] 9fa0: 00000000 00000000 00000000 c00516b0 00000000 00000000 cf85c740 00000000 [ 137.433013] 9fc0: 00000001 dead4ead ffffffff ffffffff c0551674 00000000 00000000 c0450aa4 [ 137.441589] 9fe0: cf869fe0 cf869fe0 cf853ed8 c005162c c0013b30 c0013b30 00ffff00 00ffff00 [ 137.450164] [<c0071490>] (__lock_acquire+0x5c/0x1ab0) from [<c00733f8>] (lock_acquire+0x9c/0x128) [ 137.459503] [<c00733f8>] (lock_acquire+0x9c/0x128) from [<c0374130>] (_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x44/0x58) [ 137.469360] [<c0374130>] (_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x44/0x58) from [<c02a1d50>] (skb_queue_tail+0x18/0x48) [ 137.479339] [<c02a1d50>] (skb_queue_tail+0x18/0x48) from [<c0282238>] (h4_enqueue+0x2c/0x34) [ 137.488189] [<c0282238>] (h4_enqueue+0x2c/0x34) from [<c02821cc>] (hci_uart_send_frame+0x34/0x68) [ 137.497497] [<c02821cc>] (hci_uart_send_frame+0x34/0x68) from [<c032727c>] (hci_send_frame+0x50/0x88) [ 137.507171] [<c032727c>] (hci_send_frame+0x50/0x88) from [<c03285f4>] (hci_cmd_work+0x74/0xd4) [ 137.516204] [<c03285f4>] (hci_cmd_work+0x74/0xd4) from [<c004c914>] (process_one_work+0x1a0/0x4ec) [ 137.525604] [<c004c914>] (process_one_work+0x1a0/0x4ec) from [<c004d6ac>] (worker_thread+0x154/0x344) [ 137.535278] [<c004d6ac>] (worker_thread+0x154/0x344) from [<c00516b0>] (kthread+0x84/0x90) [ 137.543975] [<c00516b0>] (kthread+0x84/0x90) from [<c0013b30>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8) [ 137.552734] Code: e59f4e5c e5941000 e3510000 0a000031 (e5971000) [ 137.559234] ---[ end trace 1b75b31a2719ed1e ]--- Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJohan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com> Acked-by: NMarcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: NJohan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@intel.com>

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e25) has already been applied, and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however, the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started. Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as well.

When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the downstream rate.

Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the connection stability in congested networks.

The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary, etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values. commit 917fbdb3 Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson <henrik.e.persson@ericsson.com> Date: Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000 bonding: only use primary address for ARP That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from sending frames with an invalid source IP address. Unfortunately, it didn't always work as expected. When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of address. The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in the primary address and would still cause the device address to be overwritten. The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done. This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once. The inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that needed to be resolved. While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan devices in the bonding driver. I didn't like the duplication of the list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than grow, but liked the general idea. As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively. This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address. This code could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly what was needed. I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected. Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch.

Commit 4231d47e(net/usbnet: avoid recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking problem by releasing the skb queue lock, but it makes usb_unlink_urb racing with defer_bh, and the URB to being unlinked may be freed before or during calling usb_unlink_urb, so use-after-free problem may be triggerd inside usb_unlink_urb. The patch fixes the use-after-free problem by increasing URB reference count with skb queue lock held before calling usb_unlink_urb, so the URB won't be freed until return from usb_unlink_urb.

The RSS feature in tg3 hardware has only one rx producer ring for all RSS rings. NAPI vector 1 is special and handles the refilling of the rx producer ring on behalf of all RSS rings. There is a race condition between these RSS NAPIs and the NAPI[1]. If NAPI[1] finishes checking for refill and then another RSS ring empties the rx producer ring before NAPI[1] exits NAPI, the chip will be completely out of SKBs in the rx producer ring. We fix this by adding a flag tp->rx_refill and rely on napi_schedule()/ napi_complete() to help synchronize it to close the race condition. Update driver version to 3.123.

Pull regulator updates for 3.4 from Mark Brown: "This has been a fairly quiet release from a regulator point of view, the only real framework features added were devm support and a convenience helper for setting up fixed voltage regulators.
