+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] iwlwifi: fix AMSDU Rx after paged Rx patch
+
+commit fafaf31bf9f965d91462ee115e27ef6c262b74ea upstream.
+
+Previous patch "use paged Rx" broke AMSDU Rx functionality. If an AP
+sends out A-MSDU packets the station will crash.  Fix it by linearizing
+skbuff for AMSDU packet before handing it to mac80211 since mac80211
+doesn't support paged skbuff.
+
+This fixes http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2155

+Subject: [PATCH 2/3] iwlwifi: fix use after free bug for paged rx
+
+commit 29b1b2688fd71346f78f175d9669c006686b6dc3 upstream.
+
+In the paged rx patch (4854fde2), I introduced a bug that could possibly
+touch an already freed page. It is fixed by avoiding the access in this
+patch. I've also added some comments so that other people touching the
+code won't make the same mistake. In the future, if we cannot avoid
+access the page after being handled to the upper layer, we can use
+get_page/put_page to handle it. For now, it's just not necessary.
+
+It also fixed a debug message print bug reported by Stanislaw Gruszka
+<sgruszka at redhat.com>.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/3] iwlwifi: use paged Rx
+
+commit 2f301227a1ede57504694e1f64839839f5737cac upstream.
+
+This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx
+buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the
+memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for
+Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data,
+alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This
+is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory
+usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB
+directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required.
+
+It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the
+tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new
+unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from
+spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy
+(which cannot be called in hard irq context).
+
+Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb
+for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation
+required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames,
+we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211
+to handle them properly.
