Commit c67881fc890916206e723329e774391c6ed354ce is a backport of
0b67c43ce36a9964f1d5e3f973ee19eefd3f9f8f upstream commit, fixing a
bug on clk rate change propagation.
But in 4.0 -&gt;determine_rate() prototype has changed, thus introducing
a prototype mismatch when applying it on 3.19.

[ Upstream commit 07841f9d94c11afe00c0498cf242edf4075729f4 ]

When system is out of memory, refilling of RX buffers fails while
the driver continue to pass the received packets to the kernel stack.
At some point, when all RX buffers deplete, driver may fall into a
sleep, and not recover when memory for new RX buffers is once again
availible. This is because hardware does not have valid descriptors,
so no interrupt will be generated for the driver to return to work
in napi context. Fix it by schedule the napi poll function from
stats_task delayed workqueue, as long as the allocations fail.

Commit 6559a7e8296002b4 ("cxgb4: Cleanup macros so they follow the same
style and look consistent") introduced a regression where reading MC1
memory in adapters where MC0 isn't present or MC0 size is not equal to MC1
size caused the adapter to crash due to incorrect computation of memoffset.
Fix is to read the size of MC0 instead of MC1 for offset calculation

[ Upstream commit 42eab005a5dd5d7ea2b0328aecc4d6cc0c23c9c2 ]

By default, the number of tx queues is limited by the number of online cpus
in mlx4_en_get_profile(). However, this limit no longer holds after the
ethtool .set_channels method has been called. In that situation, the driver
may access invalid bits of certain cpumask variables when queue_index &gt;=
nr_cpu_ids.

<title>drivers: platform: parse IRQ flags from resources</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7085a7401ba54e92bbb5aa24d6f428071e18e509 upstream.

This fixes a regression from the net subsystem:
After commit d52fdbb735c36a209f36a628d40ca9185b349ba7
"smc91x: retrieve IRQ and trigger flags in a modern way"
a regression would appear on some legacy platforms such
as the ARM PXA Zylonite that specify IRQ resources like
this:

static struct resource r = {
       .start  = X,
       .end    = X,
       .flags  = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHEDGE,
};

The previous code would retrieve the resource and parse
the high edge setting in the SMC91x driver, a use pattern
that means every driver specifying an IRQ flag from a
static resource need to parse resource flags and apply
them at runtime.

As we switched the code to use IRQ descriptors to retrieve
the the trigger type like this:

  irqd_get_trigger_type(irq_get_irq_data(...));

the code would work for new platforms using e.g. device
tree as the backing irq descriptor would have its flags
properly set, whereas this kind of oldstyle static
resources at no point assign the trigger flags to the
corresponding IRQ descriptor.

To make the behaviour identical on modern device tree
and legacy static platform data platforms, modify
platform_get_irq() to assign the trigger flags to the
irq descriptor when a client looks up an IRQ from static
resources.

commit 13f6b191aaa11c7fd718d35a0c565f3c16bc1d99 upstream.

Using the indenting we can see the curly braces were obviously intended.
This is a static checker fix, but my guess is that we don't read enough
bytes, because we don't calculate "t_len" correctly.

commit 6d7e7e02a044025237b6f62a20521170b794537f upstream.

For cases where total length of an input SGs is not same as
length of the input data for encryption, omap-aes driver
crashes. This happens in the case when IPsec is trying to use
omap-aes driver.

To avoid this, we copy all the pages from the input SG list
into a contiguous buffer and prepare a single element SG list
for this buffer with length as the total bytes to crypt, which is
similar thing that is done in case of unaligned lengths.

commit a3fa71c40f1853d0c27e8f5bc01a722a705d9682 upstream.

In struct wl18xx_acx_rx_rate_stat, rx_frames_per_rates field is an
array, not a number.  This means WL18XX_DEBUGFS_FWSTATS_FILE can't be
used to display this field in debugfs (it would display a pointer, not
the actual data).  Use WL18XX_DEBUGFS_FWSTATS_FILE_ARRAY instead.

This bug has been found by adding a __printf attribute to
wl1271_format_buffer.  gcc complained about "format '%u' expects
argument of type 'unsigned int', but argument 5 has type 'u32 *'".

commit 08e8331654d1d7b2c58045e549005bc356aa7810 upstream.

There is a race condition between e1000_change_mtu's cleanups and
netpoll, when we change the MTU across jumbo size:

Changing MTU frees all the rx buffers:
    e1000_change_mtu -&gt; e1000_down -&gt; e1000_clean_all_rx_rings -&gt;
        e1000_clean_rx_ring

Then, close to the end of e1000_change_mtu:
    pr_info -&gt; ... -&gt; netpoll_poll_dev -&gt; e1000_clean -&gt;
        e1000_clean_rx_irq -&gt; e1000_alloc_rx_buffers -&gt; e1000_alloc_frag

And when we come back to do the rest of the MTU change:
    e1000_up -&gt; e1000_configure -&gt; e1000_configure_rx -&gt;
        e1000_alloc_jumbo_rx_buffers

alloc_jumbo finds the buffers already != NULL, since data (shared with
page in e1000_rx_buffer-&gt;rxbuf) has been re-alloc'd, but it's garbage,
or at least not what is expected when in jumbo state.

This results in an unusable adapter (packets don't get through), and a
NULL pointer dereference on the next call to e1000_clean_rx_ring
(other mtu change, link down, shutdown):

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)

 [&lt;ffffffff81663802&gt;] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x92/0x260

By setting the allocator to a dummy version, netpoll can't mess up our
rx buffers.  The allocator is set back to a sane value in
e1000_configure_rx.
