catc: Use heap buffer for memory size test

2017-05-09T06:19:29+00:00

commit 2d6a0e9de03ee658a9adc3bfb2f0ca55dff1e478 upstream.

Allocating USB buffers on the stack is not portable, and no longer
works on x86_64 (with VMAP_STACK enabled as per default).

qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: add device ID for HP lt2523 (Novatel E371) WWAN card

[ Upstream commit 5b9f57516337b523f7466a53939aaaea7b78141b ]

Another rebranded Novatel E371.  qmi_wwan should drive this device, while
cdc_ether should ignore it.  Even though the USB descriptors are plain
CDC-ETHER that USB interface is a QMI interface.  Ref commit 7fdb7846c9ca

cdc_ncm: workaround for EM7455 "silent" data interface

2016-07-21T06:36:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit c086e7096170390594c425114d98172bc9aceb8a ]

Several Lenovo users have reported problems with their Sierra
Wireless EM7455 modem. The driver has loaded successfully and
the MBIM management channel has appeared to work, including
establishing a connection to the mobile network. But no frames
have been received over the data interface.

The problem affects all EM7455 and MC7455, and is assumed to
affect other modems based on the same Qualcomm chipset and
baseband firmware.

Testing narrowed the problem down to what seems to be a
firmware timing bug during initialization. Adding a short sleep
while probing is sufficient to make the problem disappear.
Experiments have shown that 1-2 ms is too little to have any
effect, while 10-20 ms is enough to reliably succeed.

cdc_ncm: do not call usbnet_link_change from cdc_ncm_bind

2016-04-21T11:11:52+00:00

commit 4d06dd537f95683aba3651098ae288b7cbff8274 upstream.

usbnet_link_change will call schedule_work and should be
avoided if bind is failing. Otherwise we will end up with
scheduled work referring to a netdev which has gone away.

Instead of making the call conditional, we can just defer
it to usbnet_probe, using the driver_info flag made for
this purpose.

net: qmi_wwan: MDM9x30 specific power management

2016-04-20T10:36:38+00:00

commit 93725149794d3d418cf1eddcae60c7b536c5faa1 upstream.

MDM9x30 based modems appear to go into a deeper sleep when
suspended without "Remote Wakeup" enabled.  The QMI interface
will not respond unless a "set DTR" control request is sent
on resume. The effect is similar to a QMI_CTL SYNC request,
resetting (some of) the firmware state.

We allow userspace sessions to span multiple character device
open/close sequences.  This means that userspace can depend
on firmware state while both the netdev and the character
device are closed.  We have disabled "needs_remote_wakeup" at
this point to allow devices without remote wakeup support to
be auto-suspended.

To make sure the MDM9x30 keeps firmware state, we need to
keep "needs_remote_wakeup" always set. We also need to
issue a "set DTR" request to enable the QMI interface.
