2011-08-23wl12xx: Remove obsolete testmode NVS push commandIdo Yariv
The testmode NVS push command is no longer in use. In addition, it has several implementation issues that prevent it from working correctly: 1. wl1271_tm_cmd_configure relies on wl->chip.id being set. However, since the device was not necessarily booted by the time the function is called, wl->chip.id will be initialized to 0. 2. The NVS file is fetched by calling request_firmware() before it is possible to push an NVS file. 3. The maximum allowed size of nl binary payloads is not sufficient for pushing NVS files. 4. Pushing 128x NVS files will always fail due to a bug in the validation code. 5. In case the pushed NVS file is found invalid, the mutex will be kept locked and the nvs member will become a dangling pointer. Since this feature is not being used, remove it completely instead of fixing it. Signed-off-by: Ido Yariv <ido@wizery.com> Acked-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-08-12drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx: add missing kfreeJulia Lawall
In each case, the freed data should be freed in the error handling code as well. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @exists@ local idexpression x; statement S,S1; expression E; identifier fl; expression *ptr != NULL; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...); ... if (x == NULL) S <... when != x when != if (...) { <+...kfree(x)...+> } when any when != true x == NULL x->fl ...> ( if (x == NULL) S1 | if (...) { ... when != x when forall ( return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\); | * return ...; ) } ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Acked-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-06-27wl12xx: Avoid recovery while one is already in progressIdo Yariv
During recovery work commands sent to the FW could fail and schedule additional recovery work. Since the chip is going to be powered off, avoid recursive recoveries. Signed-off-by: Ido Yariv <ido@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov <arik@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com>
2011-04-19wl12xx: 1281/1283 support - Loading FW & NVSShahar Levi
Take care of FW & NVS with the auto-detection between wl127x and wl128x. [Moved some common code outside if statements and added notes about NVS structure assumptions; Fixed a bug when checking the nvs size: if the size was incorrect, the local nvs variable was set to NULL, it should be wl->nvs instead. -- Luca] [Merged with potential buffer overflow fix -- Luca] Signed-off-by: Shahar Levi <shahar_levi@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com>
2011-04-04wl12xx: fix potential buffer overflow in testmode nvs pushLuciano Coelho
We were allocating the size of the NVS file struct and not checking whether the length of the buffer passed was correct before copying it into the allocated memory. This is a security hole because buffer overflows can occur if the userspace passes a bigger file than what is expected. With this patch, we check if the size of the data passed from userspace matches the size required. This bug was introduced in 2.6.36.

2010-11-22wl1271: Change wl12xx Files NamesShahar Levi
All files name prefix removed due to the fact that wl12xx driver supports wl1271 and wl1273. Also the definition in Kconfig and header files changed respectively. Signed-off-by: Shahar Levi <shahar_levi@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@nokia.com>
