2009-10-12mac80211: document ieee80211_rx() context requirementJohannes Berg
ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx() and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same time. It may be possible to remove this requirement after a careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet processing to process context in mac80211, instead of to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.

2009-10-12b43: fix ieee80211_rx() contextJohannes Berg
Due to the way it interacts with the networking stack and other parts of mac80211, ieee80211_rx() must be called with disabled softirqs.

2009-10-12mac80211: fix ibss raceJohannes Berg
When a scan completes, we call ieee80211_sta_find_ibss(), which is also called from other places. When the scan was done in software, there's no problem as both run from the single-threaded mac80211 workqueue and are thus serialised against each other, but with hardware scan the completion can be in a different context and race against callers of this function from the workqueue (e.g. due to beacon RX). So instead of calling ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() directly, just arm the timer and have it fire, scheduling the work, which will invoke ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() (if that is appropriate in the current state).

2009-10-08ipv6: Fix the size overflow of addrconf_sysctl arrayJin Dongming
(This patch fixes bug of commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50 title "make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable") When the IPV6 conf is used, the function sysctl_set_parent is called and the array addrconf_sysctl is used as a parameter of the function. The above patch added new conf "force_tllao" into the array addrconf_sysctl, but the size of the array was not modified, the static allocated size is DEVCONF_MAX + 1 but the real size is DEVCONF_MAX + 2, so the problem is that the function sysctl_set_parent accessed wrong address. I got the following information.
