linux-stable.git/drivers/net/usb, branch v3.2.56 Linux kernel stable tree usbnet: remove generic hard_header_len check 2014-04-01T23:59:01+00:00 Emil Goode emilgoode@gmail.com 2014-02-13T16:50:19+00:00 7bf67232f8f765c1a927431b143717ec7fdc8d1c [ Upstream commit eb85569fe2d06c2fbf4de7b66c263ca095b397aa ] This patch removes a generic hard_header_len check from the usbnet module that is causing dropped packages under certain circumstances for devices that send rx packets that cross urb boundaries. One example is the AX88772B which occasionally send rx packets that cross urb boundaries where the remaining partial packet is sent with no hardware header.

With AX88772B this can be reproduced by using ping with a packet size between 1965-1976. The bug has been reported here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29082 This patch introduces the following changes: - Removes the generic hard_header_len check in the rx_complete function in the usbnet module. - Introduces a ETH_HLEN check for skbs that are not cloned from within a rx_fixup callback. - For safety a hard_header_len check is added to each rx_fixup callback function that could be affected by this change.

[ Upstream commit eb85569fe2d06c2fbf4de7b66c263ca095b397aa ]

This patch removes a generic hard_header_len check from the usbnet
module that is causing dropped packages under certain circumstances
for devices that send rx packets that cross urb boundaries.

One example is the AX88772B which occasionally send rx packets that
cross urb boundaries where the remaining partial packet is sent with
no hardware header. When the buffer with a partial packet is of less
number of octets than the value of hard_header_len the buffer is
discarded by the usbnet module.

With AX88772B this can be reproduced by using ping with a packet
size between 1965-1976.

The bug has been reported here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29082

This patch introduces the following changes:
- Removes the generic hard_header_len check in the rx_complete
  function in the usbnet module.
- Introduces a ETH_HLEN check for skbs that are not cloned from
  within a rx_fixup callback.
- For safety a hard_header_len check is added to each rx_fixup
  callback function that could be affected by this change.
  These extra checks could possibly be removed by someone
  who has the hardware to test.
- Removes a call to dev_kfree_skb_any() and instead utilizes the
  dev->done list to queue skbs for cleanup.

The changes place full responsibility on the rx_fixup callback
functions that clone skbs to only pass valid skbs to the
usbnet_skb_return function.

dm9601: work around tx fifo sync issue on dm962x 2014-02-15T19:20:15+00:00 Peter Korsgaard peter@korsgaard.com 2013-12-16T10:35:35+00:00 db2d65517d27bda1164ab41aba72e13a2e56b468 commit 4263c86dca5198da6bd3ad826d0b2304fbe25776 upstream. Certain dm962x revisions contain an bug, where if a USB bulk transfer retry (E.G. if bulk crc mismatch) happens right after a transfer with odd or maxpacket length, the internal tx hardware fifo gets out of sync causing the interface to stop working. Work around it by adding up to 3 bytes of padding to ensure this situation cannot trigger. This workaround also means we never pass multiple-of-maxpacket size skb's to usbnet, so the length adjustment to handle usbnet's padding of those can be removed.
