When the current_bss is not set, 'iwconfig key off' does not
clear the private flag. Hence after we connect with WEP to an AP and
then try to connect with another non-WEP AP, it does not work.
This issue will not be seen if supplicant is used.Signed-off-by: Vivek Natarajan

About 50% of shutdowns of b44 Ethernet adapter ends by kernel panic
with kernels compiled with stack-protector.Checking b44_magic_pattern() return values, one call of
b44_magic_pattern() returns 127. It means, that set_bit(128, pmask)
was called on line 1509. It means that bit 0 of 17th byte of pmask was
overwritten. But pmask has only 16 bytes. Stack corruption happens.It seems that set_bit() on line 1509 always writes one bit off.
The fix does not only solve the stack corruption, but also makes Wake

It can happen, that tcp_retransmit_skb fails due to some error.
In such cases we might end up into a state where tp->retrans_out
is zero but that's only because we removed the TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS
bit from a segment but couldn't retransmit it because of the error
that happened. Therefore some assumptions that retrans_out checks
are based do not necessarily hold, as there still can be an old
retransmission but that is only visible in TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS bit.
As retransmission happen in sequential order (except for some very
rare corner cases), it's enough to check the head skb for that bit.Main reason for all this complexity is the fact that connection dying
time now depends on the validity of the retrans_stamp, in particular,
that successive retransmissions of a segment must not advance
retrans_stamp under any conditions. It seems after quick thinking that
this has relatively low impact as eventually TCP will go into CA_Loss
and either use the existing check for !retrans_stamp case or send a
retransmission successfully, setting a new base time for the dying
timer (can happen only once). At worst, the dying time will be
approximately the double of the intented time. In addition,
tcp_packet_delayed() will return wrong result (has some cc aspects
but due to rarity of these errors, it's hardly an issue).One of retrans_stamp clearing happens indirectly through first going
into CA_Open state and then a later ACK lets the clearing to happen.
Thus tcp_try_keep_open has to be modified too.Thanks to Damian Lukowski for hinting
that this possibility exists (though the particular case discussed
didn't after all have it happening but was just a debug patch
artifact).Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen

This patch fixes a problem in the TCP connection timeout calculation.
Currently, timeout decisions are made on the basis of the current
tcp_time_stamp and retrans_stamp, which is usually set at the first
retransmission.
However, if the retransmission fails in tcp_retransmit_skb(),
retrans_stamp is not updated and remains zero. This leads to wrong
decisions in retransmits_timed_out() if tcp_time_stamp is larger than
the specified timeout, which is very likely.
In this case, the TCP connection dies after the first attempted
(and unsuccessful) retransmission.With this patch, tcp_skb_cb->when is used instead, when retrans_stamp
is not available.This bug has been introduced together with retransmits_timed_out() in
2.6.32, as the number of retransmissions has been used for timeout
decisions before. The corresponding commit was
6fa12c85031485dff38ce550c24f10da23b0adaa (Revert Backoff [v3]:

Fix the locking scheme on the fec_mpc52xx driver. This device can
receive IRQs from three sources; the FEC itself, the tx DMA, and the
rx DMA. Mutual exclusion was handled by taking a spin_lock() in the
critical regions, but because the handlers are run with IRQs enabled,
spin_lock() is insufficient and the driver can end up interrupting
a critical region anyway from another IRQ.Asier Llano discovered that this occurs when an error IRQ is raised
in the middle of handling rx irqs which resulted in an sk_buff memory
leak.In addition, locking is spotty at best in the driver and inspection
revealed quite a few places with insufficient locking.This patch is based on Asier's initial work, but reworks a number of
things so that locks are held for as short a time as possible, so
that spin_lock_irqsave() is used everywhere, and so the locks are
dropped when calling into the network stack (because the lock only
protects the hardware interface; not the network stack).Boot tested on a lite5200 with an NFS root. Has not been performance
tested.Signed-off-by: Asier Llano

When we find a timewait connection in __inet_hash_connect() and reuse
it for a new connection request, we have a race window, releasing bind
list lock and reacquiring it in __inet_twsk_kill() to remove timewait
socket from list.Another thread might find the timewait socket we already chose, leading to
list corruption and crashes.Fix is to remove timewait socket from bind list before releasing the bind lock.
Note: This problem happens if sysctl_tcp_tw_reuse is set.
