2009-04-16b43: Refresh RX poison on buffer recyclingMichael Buesch
The RX buffer poison needs to be refreshed, if we recycle an RX buffer, because it might be (partially) overwritten by some DMA operations.

2009-04-16b43: Poison RX buffersMichael Buesch
This patch adds poisoning and sanity checking to the RX DMA buffers. This is used for protection against buggy hardware/firmware that raises RX interrupts without doing an actual DMA transfer. This mechanism protects against rare "bad packets" (due to uninitialized skb data) and rare kernel crashes due to uninitialized RX headers. The poison is selected to not match on valid frames and to be cheap for checking. The poison check mechanism _might_ trigger incorrectly, if we are voluntarily receiving frames with bad PLCP headers. However, this is nonfatal, because the chance of such a match is basically zero and in case it happens it just results in dropping the packet. Bad-PLCP RX defaults to off, and you should leave it off unless you want to listen to the latest news broadcasted by your microwave oven. This patch also moves the initialization of the RX-header "length" field in front of the mapping of the DMA buffer. The CPU should not touch the buffer after we mapped it.

2009-04-16mac80211: Fix bug in getting rx status for frames pending in reorder bufferVasanthakumar Thiagarajan
Currently rx status for frames which are completed from reorder buffer is taken from it's cb area which is not always right, cb is not holding the rx status when driver uses mac80211's non-irq rx handler to pass it's received frames. This results in dropping almost all frames from reorder buffer when security is enabled by doing double decryption (first in hw, second in sw because of wrong rx status). This patch copies rx status into cb area before the frame is put into reorder buffer. After this patch, there is a significant improvement in throughput with ath9k + WPA2(AES).

2009-04-16cfg80211: fix NULL pointer deference in reg_device_remove()Luis R. Rodriguez
We won't ever get here as regulatory_hint_core() can only fail on -ENOMEM and in that case we don't initialize cfg80211 but this is technically correct code. This is actually good for stable, where we don't check for -ENOMEM failure on __regulatory_hint()'s failure.
