cnic: Improve NETDEV_UP event handling

2011-11-07T21:47:02+00:00

commit db1d350fcb156b58f66a67680617077bcacfe6fc upstream.

During NETDEV_UP, we use symbol_get() to get the net driver's cnic
probe function.  This sometimes doesn't work if NETDEV_UP happens
right after NETDEV_REGISTER and the net driver is still running module
init code.  As a result, the cnic device may not be discovered.  We
fix this by probing on all NETDEV events if the device's netif_running
state is up.

rtl2800usb: Fix incorrect storage of MAC address on big-endian platforms

2011-11-07T21:46:56+00:00

commit daabead1c32f331edcfb255fd973411c667977e8 upstream.

The eeprom data is stored in little-endian order in the rt2x00 library.
As it was converted to cpu order in the read routines, the data need to
be converted to LE on a big-endian platform.

e1000: Fix driver to be used on PA RISC C8000 workstations

2011-11-07T21:46:52+00:00

commit e2faeec2de9e2c73958e6ea6065dde1e8cd6f3a2 upstream.

The checksum field in the EEPROM on HPPA is really not a
checksum but a signature (0x16d6).  So allow 0x16d6 as the
matching checksum on HPPA systems.

This issue is present on longterm/stable kernels, I have
verified that this patch is applicable back to at least
2.6.32.y kernels.

v2- changed ifdef to use CONFIG_PARISC instead of __hppa__

rt2x00: do not drop usb dev reference counter on suspend

2011-11-07T21:46:40+00:00

commit 543cc38c8fe86deba4169977c61eb88491036837 upstream.

When hibernating ->resume may not be called by usb core, but disconnect
and probe instead, so we do not increase the counter after decreasing
it in ->supend. As a result we free memory early, and get crash when
unplugging usb dongle.

igb: Fix lack of flush after register write and before delay

commit 064b43304ed8ede8e13ff7b4338d09fd37bcffb1 upstream.

Register writes followed by a delay are required to have a flush
before the delay in order to commit the values to the register.  Without
the flush, the code following the delay may not function correctly.

jme: Fix unmap error (Causing system freeze)

2011-08-08T17:35:55+00:00

commit 94c5b41b327e08de0ddf563237855f55080652a1 upstream.

This patch add the missing dma_unmap().
Which solved the critical issue of system freeze on heavy load.

Michal Miroslaw's rejected patch:
[PATCH v2 10/46] net: jme: convert to generic DMA API
Pointed out the issue also, thank you Michal.
But the fix was incorrect. It would unmap needed address
when low memory.

Got lots of feedback from End user and Gentoo Bugzilla.

Thank you all. :)
