Recently, it has been reported that D-Link DWA-582 cards, which use an
RTL8812AE chip are not able to scan for 5G networks. The problems started
with kernel 4.2, which is the first version that had commit d10101a603
("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix problem with regulatory information"). With this
patch, the driver went from setting a default channel plan to using
the value derived from EEPROM.
Bug reports at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111031 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279653 are examples of this
problem.
The problem was solved once I learned that the internal country code was
resulting in a regulatory set with only 2.4 GHz channels. With the RTL8821AE
chips available to me, the country code was such that both 2.4 and 5 GHz
channels are allowed. The fix is to allow both bands even when the EEPROM
is incorrectly encoded.

Since commit df1404650c ("mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC")
monitor mode for rt2x00 has been made effectively useless because the
hardware filter is configured to drop packets whose intended recipient is
not the device, regardless of the presence of monitor mode interfaces.
This patch fixes this regression by adding explicit monitor mode support,
and by configuring the hardware filter accordingly.

On multicore systems it was possible for the txrx
tasklet to keep on running for long periods of
time on a single CPU due to tx completion
processing. Another CPU could feed the running
tasklet for an indefinite amount of time.
The tasklet is now guaranteed to run a finite
amount of time and is limited by HTT CE Rx ring
depth.
This improves behavior when RPS is used on target
system and might improve TCP handling as well.

Rewrite abs() so that its return type does not depend on the
architecture and no unexpected type conversion happen inside of it. The
only conversion is from unsigned to signed type. char is left as a
return type but treated as a signed type regradless of it's actual
signedness.
With the old version, int arguments were promoted to long and depending
on architecture a long argument might result in s64 or long return type
(which may or may not be the same).
This came after some back and forth with Nicolas. The current macro has
different return type (for the same input type) depending on
architecture which might be midly iritating.
An alternative version would promote to int like so:
#define abs(x) __abs_choose_expr(x, long long, \
__abs_choose_expr(x, long, \
__builtin_choose_expr( \
sizeof(x) <= sizeof(int), \
({ int __x = (x); __x<0?-__x:__x; }), \
((void)0))))
I have no preference but imagine Linus might. :] Nicolas argument against
is that promoting to int causes iconsistent behaviour:
int main(void) {
unsigned short a = 0, b = 1, c = a - b;
unsigned short d = abs(a - b);
unsigned short e = abs(c);
printf("%u %u\n", d, e); // prints: 1 65535
}
Then again, no sane person expects consistent behaviour from C integer
arithmetic. ;)
Note:
__builtin_types_compatible_p(unsigned char, char) is always false, and
__builtin_types_compatible_p(signed char, char) is also always false.

This reverts commit cd37a90b2a.
Different userspace programs interpreted HWSIM_ATTR_ADDR_TRANSMITTER
and HWSIM_ATTR_ADDR_RECEIVER differently: some expected it to
be an unchanging hardware address that is tied to the radio despite
which address is configured on the interface, while others expected
to be a copy of the address in the frame (the configured address).
The intent of the original authors is unclear.
The latter interpretation doesn't really work properly with multiple
vifs and broadcast frames. Also, as the TA is already in the
frame, userspace programs can actually support configured addresses
in the former interpretation by mapping between them and the supplied
HWSIM_ATTR_ADDR_TRANSMITTER.
So, in the interest of API stability, revert to the previous mode
of operation and going forward use the former interpretation.

8000 device family has a new debug engine that needs to be

The debug engine's DMA works in chunks of memory and the
size of the buffer really means the start of the last
chunk. Since one chunk is 256-byte long, we should
configure the device to write to buffer_size - 256.
This fixes a situation were the device would write to

As we're working on multi-queue RX, we want to parallelise checking
the PN in order to avoid having to serialise the RX processing.
It may seem that doing parallel PN checking is insecure, but it turns
out to be OK because queue assignment is done based on the data in the
frame (IP/TCP) and thus cannot be manipulated by an attacker, since
the data is encrypted and must first have been decrypted successfully.
There are some corner cases, in particular when the peer starts using
fragmentation which redirects the packet to the default queue. However
this redirection is remembered (for the STA, per TID) and thus cannot
be exploited by an attacker either.
Leave checking on the default queue (queue 0) to mac80211, since we
get fragmented packets there and those are subject to stricter checks
during reassembly.

It's turned out the crash is related with rx skb allocation
failure. git could consume more than 600MB anonymous memory.
And system is in extremely memory shortage case.
But driver didn't handle the rx allocation failure case. This patch
doesn't submit skb to upper layer if rx skb allocation fails.
Instead, it reuse the old skb for rx DMA again. It's more like
drop the packets if system is in memory shortage case.
