Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

The airo driver used to break out of while loop if there were any signals
pending. Since it no longer checks for signals, it at least needs to check
if it needs to be frozen.

After the Orinoco issue, I did an audit of other drivers for the same
issue. Three drivers were NULL terminating the ESSID, which could cause an
overflow in WE-21 when the ESSID has maximum size.

create_proc_entry() can fail and return NULL in setup_proc_entry(), the
result must be checked before dereferencing. (Coverity ID 1443)
init_wifidev() & setup_proc_entry() can also fail in _init_airo_card().
This adds the checks & cleanup code and removes some whitespace.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the
implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a
task. The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in
drivers.
This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create().
It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid.
Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch
renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task.
As an extension of these changes, the patch further:
- replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop()
- replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop()
- removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by
kthread_stop().

interesting message:

airo_test_wpa_capable assumes that the softSubVer part of the firmware

This patch recognizes WPA-capable firmware versions and adds support for
retrieving the WPA and RSN information elements from the card's scan
results. The JOB and FLAG fields are now independent, since there was
no space left in the FLAG field for FLAG_WPA_CAPABLE.

Airo firmware versions >= 5.30.17 send re-association events to the
driver that are currently unrecognized, causing spurious disassociation
events to be sent to user space. Loss of sync due to scan requests also
results in disassociation events sent to user space. This patch traps
those two events; suppressing sync-loss on scan, and sending the correct
association event on re-association notifications.

Observed problems when multiple processes request scans and subsequently
scan results. This causes a scan result request to hit card registers
before the scan is complete, returning an incomplete scan list and
possibly making the card very angry. Instead, cache the results of a
wireless scan and serve result requests from the cache, rather than
hitting the hardware for them.

These messages end up polluting logs when things like NetworkManager or
wpa_supplicant are controlling the driver. They aren't really that
useful, and no other drivers output messages like this when the user
fiddles with encryption keys. Users can use iwconfig and other
wireless-tools methods to determine and change the current transmit key
if they wish to do so manually. Therefore, remove the messages.

CRYPTO is a helper variable, and to make it easier for users, it should
therefore select'ed and not be listed in the dependencies.
drivers/net/wireless/airo.c requires CONFIG_CRYPTO for compilations.
Therefore, AIRO_CS also has to CRYPTO.
Additionally, this patch removes the #ifdef's for the non-compiling
CRYPTO=n case from drivers/net/wireless/airo.c.

ESSIDs can technically include NULL characters. Drivers should not be
adjusting the length of the ESSID before reporting it in their

problem.

Hello Jeff,
this patch changes causes the airo driver to not reset the card when a
temporary WEP key is set, when the IW_ENCODE_TEMP flag is used. This is
needed for xsupplicant as 802.1x, LEAP, etc. change WEP keys frequently
after authentication and resetting the card causes infinite
reauthentication.
Javier and Jean agree with the patch, Javier suggested I send this to
you, can you apply this?

without this patch after an rmmod, modprobe the card won't work anymore
until the next reboot.
This patch seem safe to apply for all cards as the bsd driver already do
that.
I had to add a timeout because strange things happen (issuecommand will
fail) if the card is already reseted (after a reboot).
PS : it seems there are missing reset when leaving monitor mode...

This patch creates a file airo.h containing prototypes of the global
functions in airo.c used by airo_cs.c .
If you got strange problems with either airo_cs devices or in any other
completely unrelated part of the kernel shortly or long after a airo_cs
device was detected by the kernel, this might have been caused by the
fact that caller and callee disagreed regarding the size of the first
argument to init_airo_card()...

fid is declared as a u32 (unsigned int), and then a few lines later, it is checked for a value < 0, which is clearly useless.
In the two locations this function is used, in one it is *explicitly* given a negative number, which would be ignored with the
current definition.

Since the patch to add a NULL short-circuit to crypto_free_tfm() went in,
there's no longer any need for callers of that function to check for NULL.
This patch removes the redundant NULL checks and also a few similar checks
for NULL before calls to kfree() that I ran into while doing the
crypto_free_tfm bits.
I've succesfuly compile tested this patch, and a kernel with the patch
applied boots and runs just fine.
When I posted the patch to LKML (and other lists/people on Cc) it drew the
following comments :
J. Bruce Fields commented
"I've no problem with the auth_gss or nfsv4 bits.--b."
Sridhar Samudrala said
"sctp change looks fine."
