staging: r8712u: Do not queue cloned skb

2012-10-07T15:35:51+00:00

commit fa16e5ea25d7dd83f663f333e70713aa2fa5dffe upstream.

Some post-3.4 kernels have a problem when a cloned skb is used in the
RX path. This patch handles one such case for r8712u.

The patch was suggested by Eric Dumazet.

staging: r8712u: fix bug in r8712_recv_indicatepkt()

2012-10-02T17:39:01+00:00

commit abf02cfc179bb4bd30d05f582d61b3b8f429b813 upstream.

64bit arches have a buggy r8712u driver, let's fix it.

skb->tail must be set properly or network stack behavior is undefined.

staging: r8712u: Remove needless test for NULL

2012-05-14T20:27:24+00:00

In commit ee6aeff, a swatch warning was fixed by moving some code inside
an if block that is executed only when the pointer padapter is not NULL.
In fact, padapter can never be NULL and the corect fix should have been
the removal of the test of padapter.

staging: delete all duplicated endian crap from rtl8712 driver

2012-05-10T17:10:03+00:00

This driver had headers like big_endian.h, little_endian.h, swab.h
and yet we can throw them all in the trash can and the thing
still builds on x86-64 and ppc, just by deleting the references
to the deleted files.

staging: wean rtl8712 off of its ancient duplicate of ip.h

2012-05-10T17:09:57+00:00

This driver should not be carrying around ancient copies of
headers like  for its own use.  Mapping it onto
the mainline one uncovers no build issues.

drivers: staging: rtl8172: Remove unneeded include of version.h

2012-04-18T23:59:03+00:00

The output of "make versioncheck" told us that:

drivers/staging/rtl8712/osdep_service.h: 32 linux/version.h not needed.
drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c: 46 linux/version.h not needed.

If we take a look at these files, we will agree to remove it.
