<id>4d0e965732db6f7cce78e6b8f5d3073249004c3a</id>
<content type='text'>
a trans_start struct member exists twice:
- in struct net_device (legacy)
- in struct netdev_queue

Instead of open-coding dev-&gt;trans_start usage to obtain the current
trans_start value, use dev_trans_start() instead.

This is not exactly the same, as dev_trans_start also considers
the trans_start values of the netdev queues owned by the device
and provides the most recent one.

For legacy devices this doesn't matter as dev_trans_start can cope
with netdev trans_start values of 0 (they are ignored).

This is a prerequisite to eventual removal of dev-&gt;trans_start.

These drivers already call netif_stop_queue() so we should not be called
unless tx space is available.  Just free the skb and return TX_OK.

Followup patch will remove NETDEV_TX_LOCKED from the kernel.

<title>dmascc: Return correct error codes</title>

<content type='text'>
This change has been made with the goal that kernel functions should
return something more descriptive than -1 on failure.

A variable `err` has been introduced for storing error codes.

The return value of kzalloc on failure should return a -1 and not a
-ENOMEM. This was found using Coccinelle. A simplified version of
the semantic patch used is:

//&lt;smpl&gt;
@@
expression *e;
identifier l1;
@@

e = kzalloc(...);
if (e == NULL) {
...
goto l1;
}
l1:
...
return -1
+ -ENOMEM
;
//&lt;/smpl

Furthermore, set `err` to -ENOMEM on failure of alloc_netdev(), and to
-ENODEV on failure of register_netdev() and probe_irq_off().

The single call site only checks that the return value is not 0,
hence no change is required at the call site.

32 bit systems using 'struct timeval' will break in the year 2038, so
we replace the code appropriately. However, this driver is not broken
in 2038 since we are only using microseconds portion of the time.

This patch replaces 'struct timeval' with 'struct timespec64'. We only
need to find elapsed microseconds rather than absolute time, so it's
better to use monotonic time, so using ktime_get_ts64() makes the code
more efficient and more robust against concurrent settimeofday()
calls.

commit d79f16c046086f4fe0d42184a458e187464eb83e fixed a user triggerable
scribble on free memory but added a new one which allows the user to
scribble even more and user controlled data into freed space.

As with 6pack we need to halt the queue before we free the buffers, because
the transmit logic is not protected by the semaphore.

scribble on free memory but added a new one which allows the user to
scribble even more and user controlled data into freed space.

As with 6pack we need to halt the queue before we free the buffers, because
the transmit logic is not protected by the semaphore.

commit acf673a3187edf72068ee2f92f4dc47d66baed47 fixed a user triggerable free
memory scribble but in doing so replaced it with a different one that allows
the user to control the data and scribble even more.

sixpack_close is called by the tty layer in tty context. The tty context is
protected by sp_get() and sp_put(). However network layer activity via
sp_xmit() is not protected this way. We must therefore stop the queue
otherwise the user gets to dump a buffer mostly of their choice into freed
kernel pages.

Need to do the unregister_device() after all references to the driver
private have been done.
