c42c65c1d5 mwifiex: memory corruption in mwifiex_tdls_add_vht_capab()
There is a typo here because the names are confusingly similar.  The
intent was sizeof(struct ieee80211_vht_cap) (size 12) but sizeof(struct
ieee80211_ht_cap) (size 32) was used.

Anway, it's cleaner to just specify the variable instead of the type.

df942e7ba7 cfg80211: Pass TDLS peer capability information in tdls_mgmt
While framing the TDLS Setup Confirmation frame, the driver needs to
know if the TDLS peer is VHT/HT/WMM capable and thus shall construct
the VHT/HT operation / WMM parameter elements accordingly. Supplicant
determines if the TDLS peer is VHT/HT/WMM capable based on the
presence of the respective IEs in the received TDLS Setup Response frame.

The host driver should not need to parse the received TDLS Response
frame and thus, should be able to rely on the supplicant to indicate
the capability of the peer through additional flags while transmitting
the TDLS Setup Confirmation frame through tdls_mgmt operations.

56bd24a18e mwifiex: provision for holding and restoring packets during TDLS setup
While TDLS link is being setup, few packets from this station to
peer station may be buffered at AP. It may happen that once TDLS
link is setup, packets sent from station to peer on direct link
get delivered before traffic from AP arrives at peer station.
This results into packet reordering issue at peer station.

To avoid this, we hold data packets destined to TDLS peer during
TDLS setup. These packets are moved to temperory TDLS TX queue.
Upon successful TDLS setup, they are moved to RA list created for
this peer. Upon failure, packets are moved back to AP's RA list
for that particular TID.

189b3299fe mwifiex: don't leak DMA command skbuffs
The current mwifiex pcie driver assumed that it would get
its cmdrsp_complete() callback called before another command
was sent to unmap the command's skbuff. However, that is not
true. The mwifiex_check_ps_cond() will send a sleep command
to the card without having adapter->curr_cmd set. Within the
workqueue's state machine the adapter's state would be set
to allow commands (curr_cmd = NULL && cmd_sent = false) after
having receieved the response from the sleep command. The
card->cmd_buf would then be overridden with the new command
but the first command's skbuff was not unmapped. This leaks
mapped skbuffs when a bounce buffer is employed.

To rectify this unmap the card->cmd_buf when the response is
received from the card instead of waiting for the
cmdrsp_complete() callback.

dbccc92b5d mwifiex: balance dma map/unmap sizes
Depending on the underlying DMA implementation its
not possible to partially unmap DMA buffers. Moreover
its not possible to understand the intent of passing
0 as the size to dma unmap. The intent of this
driver is unmap the entire skb buffer. The only way
to ensure that the size matches on unmap is to store
both the dma address and the size in the skb ca field.

Introduce a mwifiex_dma_mapping structure which tracks
the dma address and the size. Additionally, provide
a mwifiex_unmap_pci_memory() that utilizes the new
structure. This also provide symmetry within the
internal API.

fe94f3a4ff cfg80211: fix channel configuration in IBSS join
When receiving an IBSS_JOINED event select the BSS object
based on the {bssid, channel} couple rather than the bssid
only.
With the current approach if another cell having the same
BSSID (but using a different channel) exists then cfg80211
picks up the wrong BSS object.
The result is a mismatching channel configuration between
cfg80211 and the driver, that can lead to any sort of
problem.

The issue can be triggered by having an IBSS sitting on
given channel and then asking the driver to create a new
cell using the same BSSID but with a different frequency.
By passing the channel to cfg80211_get_bss() we can solve
this ambiguity and retrieve/create the correct BSS object.
All the users of cfg80211_ibss_joined() have been changed
accordingly.

Moreover WARN when cfg80211_ibss_joined() gets a NULL
channel as argument and remove a bogus call of the same
function in ath6kl (it does not make sense to call
cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero BSSID on ibss-leave).

f663dd9aaf net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:

- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
  instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
  lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
  control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
  watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
  when tso is disabled for lower device.

Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.

With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.

In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

b58df44619 mwifiex: use a function to replace two copies of a code fragment
Instead of having two copies of the code for device tree cfgdata
downloading, add a function to improve the code.

63791ccd46 mwifiex: fix potential buffer overflow in dt configuration
If cfgdata length exceeds the command buffer size we will end up
getting buffer overflow problem. Fix it by checking the buffer
size less the command header length.
