2015-10-04staging: wlan-ng: prism2sta: replace memcmp with ether_addr_equalMaciek Borzecki
Replace memcmp() with ether_addr_equal(). In every location where the replacement was done, the addresses accessed are __aligned(2). Structures accessed either stack or heap allocated, no direct memory casts to possibly unaligned structs are used. Involved structures: typedef struct hfa384x_authenticateStation_data { u8 address[ETH_ALEN]; /* 0 offset */ ... } __packed hfa384x_authenticateStation_data_t; struct prism2sta_authlist { unsigned int cnt; u8 addr[WLAN_AUTH_MAX][ETH_ALEN]; /* 4 bytes offset, addresses start at u16 boundary */ u8 assoc[WLAN_AUTH_MAX]; }; struct prism2sta_accesslist { unsigned int modify; unsigned int cnt; u8 addr[WLAN_ACCESS_MAX][ETH_ALEN]; /* 8 bytes offset, multiple of u16 */ ... u8 addr1[WLAN_ACCESS_MAX][ETH_ALEN]; /* starts at u32 boundary, struct not packed */ }; typedef struct hfa384x_AssocStatus { u16 assocstatus; u8 sta_addr[ETH_ALEN]; /* 2 bytes offset, struct is packed */ u8 old_ap_addr[ETH_ALEN]; /* 8 bytes offset */ ... } __packed hfa384x_AssocStatus_t; The patch resolves the following checkpatch warnings: WARNING: Prefer ether_addr_equal() or ether_addr_equal_unaligned() over memcmp() Signed-off-by: Maciek Borzecki <maciek.borzecki@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

We exit the above loop either if curroff >= (HFA384x_PDA_LEN_MAX / 2 - 1) or if we found the END marker in the element beyond the current one. The first case is checked for in the preceding if statement, therefore the second if statement is redundant and can be removed.

We test for an END marker in the element beyond the current one, this effectively limits the size of the array to be HFA384x_PDA_LEN_MAX/2 - 1 not HFA384x_PDR_END_OF_PDA/2.

2015-05-26cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnectJohannes Berg
When we disconnect from the AP, drivers call cfg80211_disconnect(). This doesn't know whether the disconnection was initiated locally or by the AP though, which can cause problems with the supplicant, for example with WPS. This issue obviously doesn't show up with any mac80211 based driver since mac80211 doesn't call this function. Fix this by requiring drivers to indicate whether the disconnect is locally generated or not. I've tried to update the drivers, but may not have gotten the values correct, and some drivers may currently not be able to report correct values. In case of doubt I left it at false, which is the current behaviour. For libertas, make adjustments as indicated by Dan Williams.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann. 9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John Fastabend. 10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric Dumazet. 12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From Florian Westphal. 13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly faster.

2014-08-26cfg80211: allow passing frame type to cfg80211_inform_bss()Johannes Berg

Fix that by passing a new enum that indicates such (or unknown). For good measure, use it in ath6kl.
