cdc_ncm: do not call usbnet_link_change from cdc_ncm_bind

2016-08-16T07:30:48+00:00

commit 4d06dd537f95683aba3651098ae288b7cbff8274 upstream.

usbnet_link_change will call schedule_work and should be
avoided if bind is failing. Otherwise we will end up with
scheduled work referring to a netdev which has gone away.

Instead of making the call conditional, we can just defer
it to usbnet_probe, using the driver_info flag made for
this purpose.

bonding: set carrier off for devices created through netlink

2016-08-16T07:30:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 005db31d5f5f7c31cfdc43505d77eb3ca5cf8ec6 ]

Commit e826eafa65c6 ("bonding: Call netif_carrier_off after
register_netdevice") moved netif_carrier_off() from bond_init() to
bond_create(), but the latter is called only for initial default
devices and ones created through sysfs:

 $ modprobe bonding
 $ echo +bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
 $ ip link add bond2 type bond
 $ grep "MII Status" /proc/net/bonding/*
 /proc/net/bonding/bond0:MII Status: down
 /proc/net/bonding/bond1:MII Status: down
 /proc/net/bonding/bond2:MII Status: up

Ensure that carrier is initially off also for devices created through
netlink.

net: mvneta: set real interrupt per packet for tx_done

2016-08-10T09:49:29+00:00

commit 06708f81528725148473c0869d6af5f809c6824b upstream.

Commit aebea2ba0f74 ("net: mvneta: fix Tx interrupt delay") intended to
set coalescing threshold to a value guaranteeing interrupt generation
per each sent packet, so that buffers can be released with no delay.

In fact setting threshold to '1' was wrong, because it causes interrupt
every two packets. According to the documentation a reason behind it is
following - interrupt occurs once sent buffers counter reaches a value,
which is higher than one specified in MVNETA_TXQ_SIZE_REG(q). This
behavior was confirmed during tests. Also when testing the SoC working
as a NAS device, better performance was observed with int-per-packet,
as it strongly depends on the fact that all transmitted packets are
released immediately.

This commit enables NETA controller work in interrupt per sent packet mode
by setting coalescing threshold to 0.

can: fix oops caused by wrong rtnl dellink usage

2016-08-10T09:49:29+00:00

commit 25e1ed6e64f52a692ba3191c4fde650aab3ecc07 upstream.

For 'real' hardware CAN devices the netlink interface is used to set CAN
specific communication parameters. Real CAN hardware can not be created nor
removed with the ip tool ...

This patch adds a private dellink function for the CAN device driver interface
that does just nothing.

It's a follow up to commit 993e6f2fd ("can: fix oops caused by wrong rtnl
newlink usage") but for dellink.

can: fix handling of unmodifiable configuration options fix

commit bce271f255dae8335dc4d2ee2c4531e09cc67f5a upstream.

With upstream commit bb208f144cf3f59 (can: fix handling of unmodifiable
configuration options) a new can_validate() function was introduced.

When invoking 'ip link set can0 type can' without any configuration data
can_validate() tries to validate the content without taking into account that
there's totally no content. This patch adds a check for missing content.

can: c_can: Update D_CAN TX and RX functions to 32 bit - fix Altera Cyclone access

2016-08-10T09:49:28+00:00

commit 427460c83cdf55069eee49799a0caef7dde8df69 upstream.

When testing CAN write floods on Altera's CycloneV, the first 2 bytes
are sometimes 0x00, 0x00 or corrupted instead of the values sent. Also
observed bytes 4 & 5 were corrupted in some cases.

The D_CAN Data registers are 32 bits and changing from 16 bit writes to
32 bit writes fixes the problem.

Testing performed on Altera CycloneV (D_CAN).  Requesting tests on other
C_CAN & D_CAN platforms.

can: at91_can: RX queue could get stuck at high bus load

commit 43200a4480cbbe660309621817f54cbb93907108 upstream.

At high bus load it could happen that "at91_poll()" enters with all RX
message boxes filled up. If then at the end the "quota" is exceeded as
well, "rx_next" will not be reset to the first RX mailbox and hence the
interrupts remain disabled.

cdc_ncm: workaround for EM7455 "silent" data interface

2016-07-27T16:47:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit c086e7096170390594c425114d98172bc9aceb8a ]

Several Lenovo users have reported problems with their Sierra
Wireless EM7455 modem. The driver has loaded successfully and
the MBIM management channel has appeared to work, including
establishing a connection to the mobile network. But no frames
have been received over the data interface.

The problem affects all EM7455 and MC7455, and is assumed to
affect other modems based on the same Qualcomm chipset and
baseband firmware.

Testing narrowed the problem down to what seems to be a
firmware timing bug during initialization. Adding a short sleep
while probing is sufficient to make the problem disappear.
Experiments have shown that 1-2 ms is too little to have any
effect, while 10-20 ms is enough to reliably succeed.
