commit 98a46d46d1bc983125b6ff9a0e831050a7011713 upstream.

This fixes a seg fault on 'ethtool -A' entry if the
interface is down.  Obviously we need to have the
phy device initialized / "connected" (see of_phy_connect())
to be able to advertise pause frame capabilities.

<title>rtlwifi: rtl_usb: Fix for URB leaking when doing ifconfig up/down</title>

commit 575ddce0507789bf9830d089557d2199d2f91865 upstream.

In the function rtl_usb_start we pre-allocate a certain number of urbs
for RX path but they will not be freed when calling rtl_usb_stop. This
results in leaking urbs when doing ifconfig up and down. Eventually,
the system has no available urbs.

[ Upstream commit 837585a5375c38d40361cfe64e6fd11e1addb936 ]

When IFF_VNET_HDR is enabled, a virtio_net header must precede data.
Data length is verified to be greater than or equal to expected header
length tun-&gt;vnet_hdr_sz before copying.

Macvtap functions read the value once, but unless READ_ONCE is used,
the compiler may ignore this and read multiple times. Enforce a single
read and locally cached value to avoid updates between test and use.

<content type='text'>
commit 2eb783c43e7cf807a45899c10ed556b6dc116625 upstream.

We set the flag TUN_PKT_STRIP if the user buffer provided is too
small to contain the entire packet plus meta-data.  However, this
has been broken ever since we added GSO meta-data.  VLAN acceleration
also has the same problem.

This patch fixes this by taking both into account when setting the
TUN_PKT_STRIP flag.

The fact that this has been broken for six years without anyone
realising means that nobody actually uses this flag.

In order to make the driver work with the common clock framework, this
patch converts the clk_enable()/clk_disable() to
clk_prepare_enable()/clk_disable_unprepare().

Also add error checking for clk_prepare_enable().

commit c97c52be78b8463ac5407f1cf1f22f8f6cf93a37 upstream.

The priv-&gt;device pointer for c_can_pci is never set, but it is used
without a NULL check in c_can_start(). Setting it in c_can_pci_probe()
like c_can_plat_probe() prevents c_can_pci.ko from crashing, with and
without CONFIG_PM.

This might also cause the pm_runtime_*() functions in c_can.c to
actually be executed for c_can_pci devices - they are the only other
place where priv-&gt;device is used, but they all contain a null check.

commit 65870fa77fd7f83d7be4ed924d47ed9e3831f434 upstream.

Until interface is up [and assuming ringparams weren't explicitly
configured] when queried for the size of its rings bnx2x would
claim they're the maximal size by default.
That is incorrect as by default the maximal number of buffers would
be equally divided between the various rx rings.

This prevents the user from actually setting the number of elements
on each rx ring to be of maximal size prior to transitioning the
interface into up state.

To fix this, make a rough estimation about the number of buffers.
It wouldn't always be accurate, but it would be much better than
current estimation and would allow users to increase number of
buffers during early initialization of the interface.

commit d667f78514c656a6a8bf0b3d6134a7fe5cd4d317 upstream.

We received two reports of BUG_ON in bnad_txcmpl_process() where
hw_consumer_index appeared to be ahead of producer_index. Out of order
write/read of these variables could explain these reports.

bnad_start_xmit(), as a producer of tx descriptors, has a few memory
barriers sprinkled around writes to producer_index and the device's
doorbell but they're not paired with anything in bnad_txcmpl_process(), a
consumer.

Since we are synchronizing with a device, we must use mandatory barriers,
not smp_*. Also, I didn't see the purpose of the last smp_mb() in
bnad_start_xmit().
