Subject: [PATCH v4 0/8] wifi: brcm80211: performance and stability fixes
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 16:06:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731160646.3812-1-chanelshivesh@gmail.com> (raw)

This series fixes several performance bottlenecks and correctness
issues in both brcmfmac (PCIe/SDIO) and brcmsmac drivers.

Changes since v3:
 - cfg80211.c: Removed spurious double blank line flagged by
   checkpatch --strict.
 - All commit messages rewritten to follow kernel standards:
   explain the problem symptom first, then the solution, add
   Fixes: tags where applicable, wrap lines at 72 chars.
 - pcie.c: Added Fixes: tag referencing the original PCIe commit.

Changes since v2:
 - core.c: Add skb_cow_head() before skb_push() to prevent a
   kernel panic when skb arrives with zero headroom.
 - cfg80211.c: Fix PMKID V2 shadow counter corruption bug.

Changes since v1:
 - Correct author and Signed-off-by to chanelshivesh@gmail.com.

Patch overview:
 1/8 flowring: Replace O(N) blocked-ring scan with atomic counter.
 2/8 sdio: Coalesce N+1 sdio_claim_host() pairs in rxglom path.
 3/8 core: Fix skb_push() panic; populate radiotap RSSI field.
 4/8 cfg80211: Implement PMKID_V2; fix shadow counter overwrite;
     replace mdelay() with usleep_range().
 5/8 msgbuf: Fix silent TX stall; increase NR_TX_PKTIDS to 4096.
 6/8 pcie: Replace msleep() with usleep_range() + backoff.
 7/8 fwsignal: Document safe no-op for duplicate MAC handle ADD.
 8/8 brcmsmac/ampdu: Reference IEEE 802.11n TID requirement.
