Subject: [PATCH] libertas if_usb: Fix crash on 64-bit machines

On a 64-bit kernel, skb->tail is an offset, not a pointer. The libertas
usb driver passes it to usb_fill_bulk_urb() anyway, causing interesting
crashes. Fix that by using skb->data instead.

This highlights a problem with usb_fill_bulk_urb(). It doesn't notice
when dma_map_single() fails and return the error to its caller as it
should. In fact it _can't_ currently return the error, since it returns
void.

So this problem was showing up only at unmap time, after we'd already
suffered memory corruption by doing DMA to a bogus address.

err, hold on a sec:


- include/linux/usb.h -

static inline void usb_fill_bulk_urb(struct urb *urb,
struct usb_device *dev,
unsigned int pipe,
void *transfer_buffer,
int buffer_length,
usb_complete_t complete_fn,
void *context)
{
urb->dev = dev;
urb->pipe = pipe;
urb->transfer_buffer = transfer_buffer;
urb->transfer_buffer_length = buffer_length;
urb->complete = complete_fn;
urb->context = context;
}

that's just a fill-in macro.
AFAICT usb_submit_urb does the tricky dma mapping.

Chr

After I sent my message, I realized that usb_submit_urb() and friends
do no checking and that the test had to be further down the line.

well, but while we're on the subject of libertas.

I took a quick look around and wrote down some hopefully _helpful_ comments.
That said, I don't have any libertas hw, so I have no idea if the attached
code will actually do what its supposed to do... I'll leave it up to the
professionals to test & write a real fix(es) with a proper commit message.

Notes:
- most + IPFIELD_ALIGN_OFFSET can be replaced by a
single skb_reserve, right after allocation.

- skb_tail_pointer(skb) should be used to get
the right rx_buf pointer.

- setting URB_ZERO_PACKET is pointless for urbs
which are submitted to an IN endpoint.

Ah, that makes sense. In that case, all we need to do is make
map_urb_for_dma() do the right thing.

This should be fixed. If changing the code to return the error would
be too invasive (It is used in 30+ drivers), perhaps the routine
should be modified to log a warning when dma mapping fails. I will
submit an RFC to do that.

map_urb_for_dma() does little more than call dma_map_single(). That's
what you'll have to fix.

Subject: [PATCH] libertas if_usb: tiny usb-rx overhaul

This patch reorganizes libertas' if_usb rx routines.

- URB_ZERO_PACKET flag has no use for urbs for
incoming endpoints.

- skb_tail_pointer(skb) should be used to get
the right rx_buf pointer.

- most + IPFIELD_ALIGN_OFFSET can be prevented by
moving skb_reserve up right after allocation.
