when setting up the tx descriptors for the hardware we must account for any

len is the length of the frame in the air (including FCS but no padding) and

easier to add that in the function where we need it.

before this fix we sent trailing zero bytes after the packet (because frame len
included the padding) which was not a big problem without WEP, but with WEP
this resultes in a wrong WEP checksum and the packet is discarded - which is
how i noticed at all ;)

an easy way to run into header padding problems, btw, is to connect to a QoS
(WME) enabled access point (eg. madwifi) - QoS data frames are 2 byte longer

[NDISC]: Fix race in generic address resolution

Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix
for this bug.  He also validated this version of this fix.

The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we
grab references when dropping the lock lock to call
neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of
control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing
corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access
to the skb.

The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock
during the ->solicit() call.  I looked at all of the ndisc_ops
implementations and this seems workable.  The only case that needs
special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit().  It
wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in
neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation.  We can simply
remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock
as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection
afforded by the existing read locking.

The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the
neigh is locked or not.

hci_ldisc: fix null pointer deref

Arjan:

  With the help of kerneloops.org I've spotted a nice little interaction
  between the TTY layer and the bluetooth code, however the tty layer is not
  something I'm all too familiar with so I rather ask than brute-force fix the
  code incorrectly.

  The raw details are at:
  http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=uart_flush_buffer

  What happens is that, on closing the bluetooth tty, the tty layer goes
  into the release_dev() function, which first does a bunch of stuff, then
  sets the file->private_data to NULL, does some more stuff and then calls the
  ldisc close function.  Which in this case, is hci_uart_tty_close().

  Now, hci_uart_tty_close() calls hci_uart_close() which clears some
  internal bit, and then calls hci_uart_flush()...  which calls back to the
  tty layers' uart_flush_buffer() function.  (in drivers/bluetooth/hci_tty.c
  around line 194) Which then WARN_ON()'s because that's not allowed/supposed
  to be called this late in the shutdown of the port....

  Should the bluetooth driver even call this flush function at all??

David:

  This seems to be what happens: Hci_uart_close() flushes using
  hci_uart_flush().  Subsequently, in hci_dev_do_close(), (one step in
  hci_unregister_dev()), hci_uart_flush() is called again.  The comment in
  uart_flush_buffer(), relating to the WARN_ON(), indicates you can't flush
  after the port is closed; which sounds reasonable.  I think hci_uart_close()
  should set hdev->flush to NULL before returning.  Hci_dev_do_close() does
  check for this.  The code path is rather involved and I'm not entirely clear
  of all steps, but I think that's what should be done.
