  and 8bbb181308bc348e02bfdbebdedd4e4ec9d452ce ]

The tun module leaks up to 36 bytes of memory by not fully initializing
a structure located on the stack that gets copied to user memory by the
TUNGETIFF and SIOCGIFHWADDR ioctl()s.

<title>USB: kaweth.c: use GFP_ATOMIC under spin_lock</title>

[ Upstream commit e4c7f259c5be99dcfc3d98f913590663b0305bf8 ]

The problem is that we call this with a spin lock held.  The call tree
is:
	kaweth_start_xmit() holds kaweth-&gt;device_lock.
	-&gt; kaweth_async_set_rx_mode()
	   -&gt; kaweth_control()
	      -&gt; kaweth_internal_control_msg()

The kaweth_internal_control_msg() function is only called from
kaweth_control() which used GFP_ATOMIC for its allocations.

[ Upstream commit 17bcb684f08649a2ab6a7dcd8288332e72d208f1 ]

This reverts commit 036dafa28da1e2565a8529de2ae663c37b7a0060.

First it appears in bisection, then reverting it solves the usual
netdev watchdog problem for different people. I don't have a proper
fix yet so get rid of it.

[ Upstream commit c1f5163de417dab01fa9daaf09a74bbb19303f3c ]

In rare cases, bnx2x_free_tx_skbs() can unmap the wrong DMA address
when it gets to the last entry of the tx ring.  We were not using
the proper macro to skip the last entry when advancing the tx index.

[ Upstream commit 313b037cf054ec908de92fb4c085403ffd7420d4 ]

commit db83d136d7f753 (gianfar: Fix missing sock reference when
processing TX time stamps) added a potential sk_wmem_alloc imbalance

If the new skb has a different truesize than old one, we can get a
negative sk_wmem_alloc once new skb is orphaned at TX completion.

Now we no longer early orphan skbs in dev_hard_start_xmit(), this
probably can lead to fatal bugs.

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (atl1c): transmit queue 0 timed out
...
---------------------------------------
This is caused by netif_stop_queue calling when cable Link is down.
So remove netif_stop_queue, because link_watch will take it over.
