commit c823abac17926767fb50175e098f087a6ac684c3 upstream.

When we unload the ep93xx_eth, whether we have opened the network
interface or not, we will either hit a kernel paging request error, or a
simple NULL pointer de-reference because:

- if ep93xx_open has been called, we have created a valid DMA mapping
  for ep-&gt;descs, when we call ep93xx_stop, we also call
  ep93xx_free_buffers, ep-&gt;descs now has a stale value

- if ep93xx_open has not been called, we have a NULL pointer for
  ep-&gt;descs, so performing any operation against that address just won't
  work

Fix this by adding a NULL pointer check for ep-&gt;descs which means that
ep93xx_free_buffers() was able to successfully tear down the descriptors
and free the DMA cookie as well.

<title>net/mlx4_en: Process all completions in RX rings after port goes up</title>

commit 8d59de8f7bb3db296331c665779c653b0c8d13ba upstream.

Currently there is a race between incoming traffic and
initialization flow. HW is able to receive the packets
after INIT_PORT is done and unicast steering is configured.
Before we set priv-&gt;port_up NAPI is not scheduled and
receive queues become full. Therefore we never get
new interrupts about the completions.
This issue could happen if running heavy traffic during
bringing port up.
The resolution is to schedule NAPI once port_up is set.
If receive queues were full this will process all cqes
and release them.

<title>net/mlx4_core: Fix deadlock when switching between polling and event fw commands</title>

commit a7e1f04905e5b2b90251974dddde781301b6be37 upstream.

When switching from polling-based fw commands to event-based fw
commands, there is a race condition which could cause a fw command
in another task to hang: that task will keep waiting for the polling
sempahore, but may never be able to acquire it. This is due to
mlx4_cmd_use_events, which "down"s the sempahore back to 0.

During driver initialization, this is not a problem, since no other
tasks which invoke FW commands are active.

However, there is a problem if the driver switches to polling mode
and then back to event mode during normal operation.

The "test_interrupts" feature does exactly that.
Running "ethtool -t &lt;eth device&gt; offline" causes the PF driver to
temporarily switch to polling mode, and then back to event mode.
(Note that for VF drivers, such switching is not performed).

Fix this by adding a read-write semaphore for protection when
switching between modes.

commit 386512d18b268c6182903239f9f3390f03ce4c7b upstream.

In case any operation fails before we can successfully go the point
where we would register a MDIO bus, we would be going to an error label
which involves unregistering then freeing this yet to be created MDIO
bus. Update all error paths to go to label free which is the only one
valid until either the clock is enabled, or the MDIO bus is allocated
and registered. This fixes kernel oops observed while trying to
dereference the MDIO bus structure which is not yet allocated.

commit f43bfaeddc79effbf3d0fcb53ca477cca66f3db8 upstream.

atl2 includes NETIF_F_SG in hw_features even though it has no support
for non-linear skbs.  This bug was originally harmless since the
driver does not claim to implement checksum offload and that used to
be a requirement for SG.

Now that SG and checksum offload are independent features, if you
explicitly enable SG *and* use one of the rare protocols that can use
SG without checkusm offload, this potentially leaks sensitive
information (before you notice that it just isn't working).  Therefore
this obscure bug has been designated CVE-2016-2117.

for user to decide.

Using device_init_wakeup() to initialize dev-&gt;power.should_wakeup and

And use device_may_wakeup() on suspend to decide if WoL function should

[ Upstream commit 2c9a266afefe137bff06bbe0fc48b4d3b3cb348c ]

When running small packets [length &lt; 256 bytes] traffic, packets were
being dropped due to invalid data in those packets which were
delivered by the driver upto the stack. Using pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu
ensures copying latest and updated data into skb from the receive buffer.
