Staging: rt2870: Revert d44ca7 Removal of kernel_thread() API

2009-08-16T21:19:01Z

commit 2c63abf9e8a51dec886da482dfd8ae752581a61c upstream. [Mike Galbraith did the upstream revert, which was more complex] Staging: rt2870: Revert d44ca7 Removal of kernel_thread() API The sanity check this patch introduced triggers on shutdown, apparently due to threads having already exited by the time BUG_ON() is reached.

Staging: prevent rtl8187se from crashing dev_ioctl() in SIOCGIWNAME

2009-07-30T21:39:11Z

commit 02c8baecf5d8850dba40b47cdf003ed2e04e66dd upstream. I repeatedly get __stack_chk_fail panic()s with this driver before applying the attached fix. ieee80211_wx_get_name() ignores sizeof(wrqu->name) which is IFNAMSIZ (16), and on certain conditions, the concatenated string will be larger than IFNAMSIZ including the terminating zero. length ("802.11" ++ "b" ++ "/g" ++ " linked" ++ "\x00") == 17 This fix uses strl{cpy,cat} in addition to the reduction of the total possible length of the output string by a char. It can be applied to 2.6.30-stable as well. Signed-off-by: Dan Aloni Cc: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usb-serial: replace shutdown with disconnect, release

2009-07-02T23:50:25Z

commit f9c99bb8b3a1ec81af68d484a551307326c2e933 upstream This patch splits up the shutdown method of usb_serial_driver into a disconnect and a release method. The problem is that the usb-serial core was calling shutdown during disconnect handling, but drivers didn't expect it to be called until after all the open file references had been closed. The result was an oops when the close method tried to use memory that had been deallocated by shutdown. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Staging: rt2870: new device id

2009-05-09T02:39:27Z

Hey, I have an Edimax wireless USB adapter that uses the rt2870 chipset. lsusb shows it as follows: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 7392:7717 When I added that ID to rt2870.h, the device came up and worked as expected. From: Dave Hayes Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

go7007: Convert to the new i2c device binding model

2009-04-21T19:47:22Z

Move the go7007 driver away from the legacy i2c binding model, which is going away really soon now. The I2C addresses of the audio and video chips in s2250-board didn't look quite right, apparently they were left-aligned values when Linux wants right-aligned values, so I fixed them too.
