[ Upstream commit fcd99434fb5c137274d2e15dd2a6a7455f0f29ff ]

Now that netdev_rx_handler_unregister contains synchronize_net(), we need
to call it outside of bond-&gt;lock, cause it might sleep. Also, remove the
already unneded synchronize_net().

[ Upstream commit 4c51e53689569398d656e631c17308d9b8e84650 ]

This patch enables RX of jumbo frames for LAN7500.

Previously the driver would transmit jumbo frames succesfully but
would drop received jumbo frames (incrementing the interface errors
count).

With this patch applied the device can succesfully receive jumbo
frames up to MTU 9000 (9014 bytes on the wire including ethernet
header).

[ Upstream commit 76a0e68129d7d24eb995a6871ab47081bbfa0acc ]

skb-&gt;ip_summed should be CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY when the driver reports that
checksums were correct and CHECKSUM_NONE in any other case. They're
currently placed vice versa, which breaks the forwarding scenario. Fix it
by placing them as described above.

[ Upstream commit 74f9f42c1c1650e74fb464f76644c9041f996851 ]

The sky2 driver sets the Rx Upper Threshold for Pause Packet generation to a
wrong value which leads to only 2kB of RAM remaining space. This can lead to
Rx overflow errors even with activated flow-control.

Fix: We should increase the value to 8192/8

[ Upstream commit 9cfe8b156c21cf340b3a10ecb3022fbbc1c39185 ]

The sky2 driver doesn't count the Receive Overflows because the MAC
interrupt for this event is not set in the MAC's interrupt mask.
The MAC's interrupt mask is set only for Transmit FIFO Underruns.

Fix: The correct setting should be (GM_IS_TX_FF_UR | GM_IS_RX_FF_OR)
Otherwise the Receive Overflow event will not generate any interrupt.
The  Receive Overflow interrupt is handled correctly

commit b92946e2919134ebe2a4083e4302236295ea2a73 upstream.

There're several reasons that the vectors need to be validated:

- Return error when caller provides vectors whose num is greater than UIO_MAXIOV.
- Linearize part of skb when userspace provides vectors grater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
- Return error when userspace provides vectors whose total length may exceed
- MAX_SKB_FRAGS * PAGE_SIZE.

commit 084c7189acb3f969c855536166042e27f5dd703f upstream.

curr_cmd points to the command that is in processing or waiting
for its command response from firmware. If the function shutdown
happens to occur at this time we should cancel the cmd timer and
put the command back to free queue.
