commit 42a3b63bb2ca4996a3d1210a004eae2333f1119e

Dave,

Here are a few more fixes intended for the 3.2 release.  They are
all small and narrowly focused.

First is a one liner fix for a signedness problem in NFC that could
lead to an incorrect return code being propogated.  Next are two
iwlwifi regression fixes that received some recent attention on the
linux-wireless mailing list.  A third iwlwifi fix corrects a sequence
numbering error, which can cause a lot of bad behaviour in the wireless
network.  The ath9k fix corrects a potential for an array underrun.
Finally, the mwifiex fix corrects a double list deletion.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John

John, I've made a mistake and didn't use [PATCH 3.2] header to make it
clean my patch is fix. Could you take a look at
[PATCH] bcma: support for suspend and resume
please?

It's not one-liner, but fixes lock ups, which I believe - we really
want to avoid.

It's late in the release cycle, and Dave specifically asked me to slow down.

Are these suspend/resume lockups a regression?  Or have they always
been there?  Do they happen to everyone?

The bug is present since first days of bcma. That's why I even decided
to add stable to CC.

Personally I've tested that only on 1 machine (I don't have more
suspendable machines with mini PCIe slot). However all Macbook 8.1/8.2
users have to remove b43 & bcma before suspending [0], they complain
about that since ever.

Arend: I know you're also complaining for suspend in bcma. Can you
comment on this?

User nephyrin on #bcm-users has confirmed this patch fixes
suspend&resume for him. Without this patch he got deadlock without
seeing any kernel panic logs - quite an ugly case.

I still think this patch may be worth taking as fix and backporting too.

What patch specifically?  What is the git commit id of it in Linus's
tree?  Without that information, telling stable@ about it is
pointless...

Then there's nothing I can do about it.

As it's properly tagged, I'll pick it up when it gets to Linus.
