commit 7c3945bc2073554bb2ecf983e073dee686679c53 upstream.

Save the qp context flags byte containing the flag disabling vlan stripping
in the RESET to INIT qp transition, rather than in the INIT to RTR
transition. Per the firmware spec, the flags in this byte are active
in the RESET to INIT transition.

As a result of saving the flags in the incorrect qp transition, when
switching dynamically from VGT to VST and back to VGT, the vlan
remained stripped (as is required for VST) and did not return to
not-stripped (as is required for VGT).

<title>net/mlx4_core: Fix racy CQ (Completion Queue) free</title>

commit 291c566a28910614ce42d0ffe82196eddd6346f4 upstream.

In function mlx4_cq_completion() and mlx4_cq_event(), the
radix_tree_lookup requires a rcu_read_lock.
This is mandatory: if another core frees the CQ, it could
run the radix_tree_node_rcu_free() call_rcu() callback while
its being used by the radix tree lookup function.

Additionally, in function mlx4_cq_event(), since we are adding
the rcu lock around the radix-tree lookup, we no longer need to take
the spinlock. Also, the synchronize_irq() call for the async event
eliminates the need for incrementing the cq reference count in
mlx4_cq_event().

Other changes:
1. In function mlx4_cq_free(), replace spin_lock_irq with spin_lock:
   we no longer take this spinlock in the interrupt context.
   The spinlock here, therefore, simply protects against different
   threads simultaneously invoking mlx4_cq_free() for different cq's.

2. In function mlx4_cq_free(), we move the radix tree delete to before
   the synchronize_irq() calls. This guarantees that we will not
   access this cq during any subsequent interrupts, and therefore can
   safely free the CQ after the synchronize_irq calls. The rcu_read_lock
   in the interrupt handlers only needs to protect against corrupting the
   radix tree; the interrupt handlers may access the cq outside the
   rcu_read_lock due to the synchronize_irq calls which protect against
   premature freeing of the cq.

3. In function mlx4_cq_event(), we change the mlx_warn message to mlx4_dbg.

4. We leave the cq reference count mechanism in place, because it is
   still needed for the cq completion tasklet mechanism.

Single send WQE in RX buffer should be stamped with software

commit d43e6fb4ac4abfe4ef7c102833ed02330ad701e0 upstream.

The #warning was present 10 years ago when the driver first got merged.
As the platform is rather obsolete by now, it seems very unlikely that
the warning will cause anyone to fix the code properly.

kernelci.org reports the warning for every build in the meantime, so
I think it's better to just turn it into a code comment to reduce
noise.

<title>smc91x: avoid self-comparison warning</title>

commit e3ebd894f084255fde19116955ba7054858ff5d6 upstream.

The smc91x driver defines a macro that compares its argument to
itself, apparently to get a true result while using its argument
to avoid a warning about unused local variables.

Unfortunately, this triggers a warning with gcc-6, as the comparison
is obviously useless:

drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smc91x.c: In function 'smc_hardware_send_pkt':
drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smc91x.c:563:14: error: self-comparison always evaluates to true [-Werror=tautological-compare]
  if (!smc_special_trylock(&amp;lp-&gt;lock, flags)) {

This replaces the macro with another one that behaves similarly,
with a cast to (void) to ensure the argument is used, and using
a literal 'true' as its value.

[ Upstream commit bd4ce941c8d5b862b2f83364be5dbe8fc8ab48f8 ]

mlx4 may schedule napi from a workqueue. Afterwards, softirqs are not run
in a deterministic time frame and the following message may be logged:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08

The problem is the same as what was described in commit ec13ee80145c
("virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule") and this patch
applies the same fix to mlx4.

gcc-6 warns about code in il3945_hw_txq_ctx_free() being
somewhat ambiguous:

commit 2cce76c3fab410520610a7d2f52faebc3cfcf843 upstream.

gcc-6 warns about code in il3945_hw_txq_ctx_free() being
somewhat ambiguous:

drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/3945.c:1022:5: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous 'else' [-Wparentheses]

This adds a set of curly braces to avoid the warning.

commit e1395a321eab1a7833d82e952eb8255e0a1f03cb upstream.

This code in drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/uli526x.c
function "uli526x_timer":

  1086          } else
  1087                  if ((tmp_cr12 &amp; 0x3) &amp;&amp; db-&gt;link_failed) {
  [...snip...]
  1109                  }
  1110                  else if(!(tmp_cr12 &amp; 0x3) &amp;&amp; db-&gt;link_failed)
  1111                  {
  [...snip...]
  1117                  }
  1118                  db-&gt;init=0;

is misleadingly indented: the
  db-&gt;init=0
is indented as if part of the else clause at line 1086, but it is
independent of it (no braces before the "if" at line 1087).

This patch fixes the indentation to reflect the actual meaning of the code,
though is it actually meant to be part of the "else" clause?  (I'm a
compiler developer, not a kernel person).  It also adds spaces around
the assignment, to placate checkpatch.pl.

Seen via an experimental new gcc warning I'm working on for gcc 6,
-Wmisleading-indentation, using gcc r223098 adding
-Werror=misleading-indentation to KBUILD_CFLAGS in Makefile.
The experimental GCC emits this warning (as an error), rightly IMHO:

drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/uli526x.c: In function ‘uli526x_timer’:
drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/uli526x.c:1118:3: error: statement is
indented as if it were guarded by... [-Werror=misleading-indentation]
   db-&gt;init=0;
    ^
drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/uli526x.c:1086:4: note: ...this ‘else’
clause, but it is not
  } else
     ^

Hope this is helpful
Dave
