2008-05-29USB: Firmware loader driver for USB Apple iSight cameraMatthew Garrett
Uninitialised Apple iSight drivers present with a distinctive USB ID. Once firmware has been uploaded, they disconnect and reconnect with a new ID. At this point they can be driven by the uvcvideo driver. As this is unique to the Apple cameras and not functionality shared by any other UVC devices, it makes sense to provide the firmware loading functionality in a separate driver. This driver will read an isight.fw file extracted from the Apple driver using the tools at http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/ and upload it to the camera. It will also handle the case where the device loses its firmware during hibernation and must have it reloaded.

2008-05-29USB: FTDI_SIO : Add support for Matrix Orbital PID RangeRay Molenkamp
This patch adds support for the range of PIDs that have been allocated for FTDI based devices at Matrix Orbital. A small number of units have been shipped early 2008 with a faulty USB Descriptor. Products that may have this issue have been marked with the existing quirk to work around the problem. Signed-off-by: R.

2008-05-29bluetooth: fix locking bug in the rfcomm socket cleanup handlingArjan van de Ven
in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, rfcomm_sk_state_change() does the following operation: if (parent && sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED)) { /* We have to drop DLC lock here, otherwise * rfcomm_sock_destruct() will dead lock. */ rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d); rfcomm_sock_kill(sk); rfcomm_dlc_lock(d); } } which is fine, since rfcomm_sock_kill() will call sk_free() which will call rfcomm_sock_destruct() which takes the rfcomm_dlc_lock()... so far so good. HOWEVER, this assumes that the rfcomm_sk_state_change() function always gets called with the rfcomm_dlc_lock() taken. This is the case for all but one case, and in that case where we don't have the lock, we do a double unlock followed by an attempt to take the lock, which due to underflow isn't going anywhere fast. This patch fixes this by moving the stragling case inside the lock, like the other usages of the same call are doing in this code. This was found with the help of the www.kerneloops.org project, where this deadlock was observed 51 times at this point in time: http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=rfcomm_sock_destruct Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-28mac80211: fix alignment issue with compare_ether_addr()Senthil Balasubramanian
This addresses an alignment issue with compare_ether_addr(). The addresses passed to compare_ether_addr should be two bytes aligned. It may function properly in x86 platform. However may not work properly on IA-64 or ARM processor. This also fixes a typo in mlme.c where the sk_buff struct name is incorect. Though sizeof() works for any incorrect structure pointer name as its just a pointer length that we want, lets just fix it.

2008-05-28mac80211: Fix for NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get()Senthil Balasubramanian
This addresses a NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get(). TID and sta_info are extracted in ADDBA Timer expiry function through the timer handler's argument. The problem is extracging the TID (which was stored in timer_to_tid[] array of type "u8") through "int *" typecast which may also yield unwanted bytes for the MSB of TID that results in incorrect sta_info and ieee80211_local pointers. ieee80211_local pointer is NULL as illustrated below, it crashes in sta_info_get(). The problem started when extracting ieee80211_local pointer out of sta_info iteself and eventually crashed in stat_info_get(). The proper way to fix is to change the data type of TID to u8 instead of u16. However changing all the occurences requires some prototype changes as well. We should fix this in upcoming patches.
