531c9da8c8 batman-adv: Linearize fragment packets before merge
We access the data inside the skbs of two fragments directly using memmove
during the merge. The data of the skb could span over multiple skb pages. An
direct access without knowledge about the pages would lead to an invalid memory
access.

95c3043008 x25: possible skb leak on bad facilities
Originally x25_parse_facilities returned
-1 for an error
 0 meaning 0 length facilities
>0 the length of the facilities parsed.

5ef41308f9 ("x25: Prevent crashing when parsing bad X.25 facilities") introduced more
error checking in x25_parse_facilities however used 0 to indicate bad parsing
a6331d6f9a ("memory corruption in X.25 facilities parsing") followed this further for
DTE facilities, again using 0 for bad parsing.

The meaning of 0 got confused in the callers.
If the facilities are messed up we can't determine where the data starts.
So patch makes all parsing errors return -1 and ensures callers close and don't use the skb further.

4f3123366f mac80211: as a 4-addr station, do not receive packets for other stations
Since 4-addr frames completely override the source address which will
make it into the converted 802.3 frames, receiving frames for other
4-addr stations will confuse the bridging code.

To be able to handle traffic for all connected devices, the bridge
code will automatically turn on promiscuous mode, which triggers
this problem.

fc7c976dc7 mac80211: fix the skb cloned check in the tx path
Using skb_header_cloned to check if it's safe to write to the skb is not
enough - mac80211 also touches the tailroom of the skb.
Initially this check was only used to increase a counter, however this
commit changed the code to also skip skb data reallocation if no extra
head/tailroom was needed:

commit 4cd06a344d
mac80211: skip unnecessary pskb_expand_head calls

It added a regression at least with iwl3945, which is fixed by this patch.

b23b025fe2 mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.
This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work,
and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is
the current operating channel.

* Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL
  and is-scanning flags instead.

* Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured
  for the operating channel.

* Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c  Instead, only call
  appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels.
  Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work,
  and disable it when we are done.

* Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and
  ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it
  ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead.

* Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel.

* Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel
  transitions.  Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and
  re-enable beaconing.  We're going to be there for 200ms,
  so seems like some useful beaconing could happen.
  Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software
  scan, and disable it when we are done.

* Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish
  so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc.

* Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local
  channel, so that mlme can take a look.

cb8d61de2d ath9k: add additional checks for the baseband hang detection
Since even with the latest changes the false positive issue of the baseband
hang check is not fully solved yet, additional checks are needed.
If the baseband hang occurs, the rx_clear signal will be stuck to high, so
we can use the cycle counters to confirm it.
With this patch, a hardware reset is only triggered if the baseband hang
check returned true three times in a row, with a beacon interval between
each check and if the busy time was also 99% or more during the check
intervals.

8e5461041f ath: Fix clearing of secondary key cache entry for TKIP
All register writes to the key cache have to be done in pairs. However,
the clearing of a separate MIC entry with hardware revisions that use
combined MIC key layout did not do that with one of the registers. Add
the matching register write to the following register to make the KEY4
register write actually complete.

This is mostly a fix for a theoretical issue since the incorrect entry
that could potentially be left behind in the key cache would not match
with received frames. Anyway, better make this code clean the entry
correctly using paired register writes.

9bca0c3b54 zd1211rw: use stack and preallocated memory for small cmd-buffers
Use stack for allocing small < 64 byte arrays in zd_chip.c and preallocated
buffer in zd_usb.c. This might lower CPU usage for beacon setup.

v2:
 - Do not use stack buffers in zd_usb.c as they would be used for urb
   transfer_buffer.

5127229292 zd1211rw: batch beacon config commands together
Beacon config function writes beacon to hw one write per byte. This is very
slow (usually taking more than 100ms to finish) and causes high CPU usage
when in AP-mode (kworker at ~50% on Intel Atom N270). By batching commands
together zd_mac_config_beacon() runtime can be lowered to 1/5th and lower
CPU usage to saner levels (<10% on Atom).

9be2325636 zd1211rw: add beacon watchdog and setting HW beacon more failsafe
When doing tx/rx at high packet rate (for example simply using ping -f),
device starts to fail to respond to control messages. On non-AP modes
this only causes problems for LED updating code but when we are running
in AP-mode we are writing new beacon to HW usually every 100ms. Now if
control message fails in HW beacon setup, device lock is kept locked
and beacon data partially written. This can and usually does cause:

 1. HW beacon setup fail now on, as driver cannot acquire device lock.
 2. Beacon-done interrupt stop working as device has incomplete beacon.

Therefore make zd_mac_config_beacon() always try to release device lock
and add beacon watchdog to restart beaconing when stall is detected.

Also fix zd_mac_config_beacon() try acquiring device lock for max 500ms,
as what old code appeared to be trying to do using loop and msleep(1).

512119b36f mac80211: fix race between next beacon dtim and ieee80211_get_buffered_bc
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).

b91a515dbb zd1211rw: let zd_set_beacon_interval() set dtim_period and add AP-beacon flag
Add support for AP-mode beacon. Also disable beacon when interface is set
down as otherwise hw will keep flooding NEXT_BCN interrupts.

f773e409b9 zd1211rw: fix ack_pending in filter_ack causing tx-packet ordering problem on monitor
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.
