net/eth/ibmveth: Fixup retrieval of MAC address

2013-05-11T14:18:20+00:00

commit 13f85203e1060da83d9ec1c1c5a63343eaab8de4 upstream.

Some ancient pHyp versions used to create a 8 bytes local-mac-address
property in the device-tree instead of a 6 bytes one for veth.

The Linux driver code to deal with that is an insane hack which also
happens to break with some choices of MAC addresses in qemu by testing
for a bit in the address rather than just looking at the size of the
property.

Sanitize this by doing the latter instead.

e1000e: fix numeric overflow in phc settime method

2013-05-08T03:33:14+00:00

commit 73e3dd6b45c4c870fc2641eb04c24e3f12dab1e0 upstream.

The PTP Hardware Clock settime function in the e1000e driver
computes nanoseconds from a struct timespec. The code converts the
seconds field .tv_sec by multiplying it with NSEC_PER_SEC. However,
both operands are of type long, resulting in an unintended overflow.
The patch fixes the issue by using the helper function from time.h.

ixgbe: fix EICR write in ixgbe_msix_other

2013-05-08T03:33:14+00:00

commit d87d830720a1446403ed38bfc2da268be0d356d1 upstream.

Previously, the ixgbe_msix_other was writing the full 32bits of the set
interrupts, instead of only the ones which the ixgbe_msix_other is
handling. This resulted in a loss of performance when the X540's PPS feature is
enabled due to sometimes clearing queue interrupts which resulted in the driver
not getting the interrupt for cleaning the q_vector rings often enough. The fix
is to simply mask the lower 16bits off so that this handler does not write them
in the EICR, which causes them to remain high and be properly handled by the
clean_rings interrupt routine as normal.

gianfar: do not advertise any alarm capability.

2013-05-08T03:33:07+00:00

commit cd4baaaa04b4aaa3b0ec4d13a6f3d203b92eadbd upstream.

An early draft of the PHC patch series included an alarm in the
gianfar driver. During the review process, the alarm code was dropped,
but the capability removal was overlooked. This patch fixes the issue
by advertising zero alarms.

This patch should be applied to every 3.x stable kernel.

net: ax88796: avoid 64 bit arithmetic

2013-04-19T21:57:48+00:00

When building ax88796 on an ARM platform with 64-bit resource_size_t,
we currently get

drivers/net/ethernet/8390/ax88796.c:875: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

because we do a division on the length of the MMIO resource.
Since we know that this resource is very short, using an
"unsigned long" instead of "resource_size_t" is entirely
sufficient, and avoids this link-time error.

bnx2x: Fix status blocks configuration

2013-04-18T19:03:26+00:00

This fixes 2 issues regarding bnx2x's status blocks:

   1. ethtool -c caused corruption of status blocks in FW RAM.

   2. when using multi-CoS, the configuration of the timeout values of
      status blocks is incorrect, harming the coalescing of interrupts
      for such CoSs.
