2014-01-13b43: Fix unload oops if firmware is not availableLarry Finger
The asyncronous firmware load uses a completion struct to hold firmware processing until the user-space routines are up and running. There is. however, a problem in that the waiter is nevered canceled during teardown. As a result, unloading the driver when firmware is not available causes an oops. To be able to access the completion structure at teardown, it had to be moved into the b43_wldev structure. This patch also fixes a typo in a comment.

2014-01-13b43: Fix lockdep splatLarry Finger
In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67561, a locking dependency is reported when b43 is used with hostapd, and rfkill is used to kill the radio output. The lockdep splat (in part) is as follows: ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.12.0 #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------- rfkill/10040 is trying to acquire lock: (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8146f282>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20 but task is already holding lock: (rfkill_global_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa04832ca>] rfkill_fop_write+0x6a/0x170 [rfkill] --snip-- Chain exists of: rtnl_mutex --> misc_mtx --> rfkill_global_mutex The fix is to move the initialization of the hardware random number generator outside the code range covered by the rtnl_mutex.

2013-06-12b43: stop format string leaking into error msgsKees Cook
The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered, and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err() parses its arguments as a format string.

2013-05-08B43: Handle DMA RX descriptor underrunThommy Jakobsson
Add handling of rx descriptor underflow. This fixes a fault that could happen on slow machines, where data is received faster than the CPU can handle. In such a case the device will use up all rx descriptors and refuse to send any more data before confirming that it is ok. This patch enables necessary interrupt to discover such a situation and will handle them by dropping everything in the ring buffer.

2013-01-07b43: Fix firmware loading when driver is built into the kernelLarry Finger
Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the probe routine to fail because the request to user space would time out. The original fix for b43 (commit 6b6fa58) moved the firmware load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous firmware loading. This method is OK when b43 is built as a module; however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel. This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to hold the work queue until that file is available. This driver reads several firmware files - the remainder can be read synchronously. On some test systems, the async read fails; however, a following synch read works, thus the async failure falls through to the sync try.

2012-03-05b43: prevent firmware on bcm5354 from taking over wrong GPIO pinsHauke Mehrtens
When using the bcm5354 (Soc with integrated LP-PHY Wifi) with a recent firmware >= 478.104 it runs out of memory after a very short time in OpenWrt after doing an active scan or any thing else where packages are send. This was cased by a gpio misconfiguration, the firmware triggered the GPIO pins used for buttons on some devices and that caused an other driver (OpenWrt diag) listening for these buttons irqs to send many messages to the user space. This patch fixes the bug for my devices (Asus WL-520GU) and makes it work with firmware 666.2. Now the firmware just uses LED GPIO pin number 1 and not the button pins any more.
