Keysyms stored in key_map[] are not simply K() values, but U(K()) values,
as can be seen in the KDSKBENT ioctl handler. The kernel-generated
braille keysyms thus need a U() call too.

commit 30fc24b5cbc55f9e6c686e2710cc812419bddc0c upstream.
A bug was seen on boards using a PLX 8518 switch device which advertises
AER on each of it's transparent bridges. The AER driver was loaded for
each bridge and this driver tried to access the AER source ID register
whenever an interrupt occured on the shared PCI INTX lines. The source
ID register does not exist on non root port PCIE device's which
advertise AER and trying to access this register causes a unsupported
request error on the bridge. Thus, when the next interrupt occurs,
another error is found and the non existent source ID register is
accessed again, and so it goes on.
The result is a spammed dmesg with unsupported request PCI express
errors on the bridge device that the AER driver is loaded against.

This results in a kmemcheck warning.
* Failure to copy the skb cb, which contains ieee80211_tx_info, to the new skb.
This results in breakage of various TX-status postprocessing (Rate control).
* Failure to transfer the queue mapping.
This results in the wrong queue being stopped on saturation and can result in queue overflow.

commit 4706b349f was a forward port of a fix that was needed
for SLES10. But in fact it is not needed in mainline because
the earlier commit dd00a99e7a fixes the same problem in a
better way.
Further, this commit introduces a bug in the way it interacts with
the automatic read-error-correction. If, after a read error is
successfully corrected, the same disk is chosen to re-read - the
re-read won't be attempted but an error will be returned instead.
After reverting that commit, there is the possibility that a
read error on a read-only array (where read errors cannot
be corrected as that requires a write) will repeatedly read the same
device and continue to get an error.
So in the "Array is readonly" case, fail the drive immediately on
a read error.

commit cea83241b3a84499c4f9b12f8288f787e7aa6383 upstream.
The driver incorrectly cancels the mass-storage device CSW request
(which leads to device reset) due to giving back URB at the head of
endpoint's queue after sending each STALL handshake; stop doing that
and start checking for the queue being non-empty before stalling an
endpoint and disallowing stall in such case in musb_gadget_set_halt()
like the other gadget drivers do.
Moreover, the driver starts Rx request despite of the endpoint being
halted -- fix this by moving the SendStall bit check from musb_g_rx()
to rxstate(). And we also sometimes get into rxstate() with DMA still
active after clearing an endpoint's halt (not clear why), so bail out
in this case, similarly to what txstate() does...
While at it, also do the following changes :
- in musb_gadget_set_halt(), remove pointless Tx FIFO flushing (the
driver does not allow stalling with non-empty Tx FIFO anyway);
- in rxstate(), stop pointlessly zeroing the 'csr' variable;
- in musb_gadget_set_halt(), move the 'done' label to a more proper
place;
- in musb_g_rx(), eliminate the 'done' label completely...

commit c2f6595fbdb408d3d6850cfae590c8fa93e27399 upstream.
This patch (as1304) fixes a regression in ehci-hcd. Evidently some
hubs don't handle Clear-TT-Buffer requests correctly, so we should
avoid sending them when they don't appear to be absolutely necessary.
The reported symptom is that output on a downstream audio device cuts
out because the hub stops relaying isochronous packets.
The patch prevents Clear-TT-Buffer requests from being sent following
a STALL handshake. In theory a STALL indicates either that the
downstream device sent a STALL or that no matching TT buffer could be
found. In either case, the transfer is completed and the TT buffer
does not remain busy, so it doesn't need to be cleared.
Also, the patch fixes a minor flaw in the code that actually sends the
Clear-TT-Buffer requests. Although the pipe direction isn't really
used for control transfers, it should be a Send rather than a Receive.

As shown in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/36497,
mac80211 has a bug that allows a call to the TX routine after the queues have
been stopped. This situation will only occur under extreme stress. Although
b43 does not crash when this condition occurs, it does generate a WARN_ON and
also logs a queue overrun message. This patch recognizes b43 is not at fault
and logs a message only when the most verbose debugging mode is enabled. In
the unlikely event that the queue is not stopped when the DMA queue becomes
full, then a warning is issued.
During testing of this patch with one output stream running repeated tcpperf
writes and a second running a flood ping, this routine was entered with
the DMA ring stopped about once per hour. The condition where the DMA queue is
full but the ring has not been stopped has never been seen by me.

mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session
and other parts were already present in the original
commit d92684e660

Date: Mon Jan 28 14:07:22 2008 +0200
mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support
The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.
The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
race window where crashes could happen before the driver
accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.
For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
about the session state; don't drop the lock
2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
even before the session was really started -- this is
true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
(ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.
When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.
By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.
For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.
