Subject: [PATCH 0/5] iwlwifi driver updates 04/30/2009

In this series we change the locking in the 3945 RX path to
increase the likelihood for allocation to succeed by enabling GFP_KERNEL
allocation instead of GFP_ATOMIC. We disable PS support temporarily until
some issues with it are resolved. We also include some cleanup.

We include one patch that addresses a problem tracked by kerneloops.org.
For this fix we provide a patch that applies to wireless-testing and a
second patch that applies to linux-2.6.

[PATCH 1/5] iwl3945: fix lock dependency
[PATCH 2/5] iwlagn: disable PS support for iwlagn
[PATCH 3/5] iwlwifi: "is_fat" bit in rate scale match RXON flag
[PATCH 4/5] iwlwifi: replace test_and_set_bit by set_bit in clear stations function
[PATCH 5/5] iwlwifi: update key flags at time key is set
[PATCH 1/1 v2.6.30] iwlwifi: update key flags at time key is set


Thank you

Reinette

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] iwlagn: disable PS support for iwlagn

From: Reinette Chatre <[email protected]>

Some issues in PS prevent us from supporting it reliably.

When 4965 goes to sleep it stores some data in host DRAM, reads it back
when device wakes up. In 4965 there is a problem that the data is not
correct when ucode starts using it upon wakeup.

For all iwlagn devices there is a problem where command is sent when PS is
enabled. At the moment there is a locking problem with priv->lock not being
held and thus not requesting nic access correctly.

We disable PS until these issues have been resolved.

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] iwl3945: fix lock dependency

From: Abhijeet Kolekar <[email protected]>

Patch seperates rx_used and rx_free into two
different atomic contexts. We can now avoid using GFP_ATOMIC
for skb allocation and use GFP_KERNEL.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] iwlwifi: update key flags at time key is set

From: Reinette Chatre <[email protected]>

We need to be symmetrical in what is done when key is set and cleared.
This is important wrt the key flags as they are used during key
clearing and if they are not set when the key is set the key cannot be
cleared completely.

This addresses the many occurences of the WARN found in
iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info() and tracked in
http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=iwl_set_dynamic_key

If calling iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info()/iwl_remove_dynamic_key()
pair a few times in a row will cause that we run out of key space.
This is because the index stored in the key flags is used by
iwl_remove_dynamic_key() to decide if it should remove the key.
Unfortunately the key flags, and hence the key index is currently only
set at the time the key is written to the device (in
iwl_update_tkip_key()) and _not_ in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info().
Fix this by setting flags in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info().
