8139cp: Add dma_mapping_error checking

2013-08-11T22:38:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf3c4c03060b688cbc389ebc5065ebcce5653e96 ]

Self explanitory dma_mapping_error addition to the 8139 driver, based on this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947250

It showed several backtraces arising for dma_map_* usage without checking the
return code on the mapping.  Add the check and abort the rx/tx operation if its
failed.  Untested as I have no hardware and the reporter has wandered off, but
seems pretty straightforward.

usbnet: do not pretend to support SG/TSO

2013-08-11T22:38:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 20f0170377264e8449b6987041f0bcc4d746d3ed ]

usbnet doesn't support yet SG, so drivers should not advertise SG or TSO
capabilities, as they allow TCP stack to build large TSO packets that
need to be linearized and might use order-5 pages.

This adds an extra copy overhead and possible allocation failures.

Current code ignore skb_linearize() return code so crashes are even
possible.

Best is to not pretend SG/TSO is supported, and add this again when/if
usbnet really supports SG for devices who could get a performance gain.

Based on a prior patch from Freddy Xin

arcnet: cleanup sizeof parameter

2013-08-11T22:38:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 087d273caf4f7d3f2159256f255f1f432bc84a5b ]

This patch doesn't change the compiled code because ARC_HDR_SIZE is 4
and sizeof(int) is 4, but the intent was to use the header size and not
the sizeof the header size.

drm/i915: quirk no PCH_PWM_ENABLE for Dell XPS13 backlight

2013-08-11T22:38:43+00:00

Some machines suffer from non-functional backlight controls if
BLM_PCH_PWM_ENABLE is set, so provide a quirk to avoid doing so.
Apply this quirk to Dell XPS 13 models.

ACPI / battery: Fix parsing _BIX return value

2013-08-11T22:38:42+00:00

commit 016d5baad04269e8559332df05f89bd95b52d6ad upstream.

The _BIX method returns extended battery info as a package.
According the ACPI spec (ACPI 5, Section 10.2.2.2), the first member
of that package should be "Revision".  However, the current ACPI
battery driver treats the first member as "Power Unit" which should
be the second member.  This causes the result of _BIX return data
parsing to be incorrect.

Fix this by adding a new member called 'revision' to struct
acpi_battery and adding the offsetof() information on it to
extended_info_offsets[] as the first row.

commit 83e612f632c3897be29ef02e0472f6d63e258378 upstream.

Both type and pkt_len variables are in host endian and these should be in

rt2x00: fix stop queue

2013-08-11T22:38:42+00:00

commit e2288b66fe7ff0288382b2af671b4da558b44472 upstream.

Since we clear QUEUE_STARTED in rt2x00queue_stop_queue(), following
call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() reduce to noop, i.e we do not
stop queue in mac80211.

To fix that introduce rt2x00queue_pause_queue_nocheck() function,
which will stop queue in mac80211 directly.

Note that rt2x00_start_queue() explicitly set QUEUE_PAUSED bit.

Note also that reordering operations i.e. first call to
rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and then clear QUEUE_STARTED bit, will race
with rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(), so calling ieee80211_stop_queue()
directly is the only available solution to fix the problem without
major rework.

ath9k_htc: do some initial hardware configuration

2013-08-11T22:38:41+00:00

commit dc2a87f519a4d8cb376ab54f22b6b98a943b51ce upstream.

Currently we configure harwdare and clock, only after
interface start. In this case, if we reload module or
reboot PC without configuring adapter, firmware will freeze.
There is no software way to reset adpter.

This patch add initial configuration and set it in
disabled state, to avoid this freeze. Behaviour of this patch
should be similar to: ifconfig wlan0 up; ifconfig wlan0 down.

serial/mxs-auart: increase time to wait for transmitter to become idle

2013-08-11T22:38:41+00:00

commit 079a036f4283e2b0e5c26080b8c5112bc0cc1831 upstream.

Without this patch the driver waits ~1 ms for the UART to become idle. At
115200n8 this time is (theoretically) enough to transfer 11.5 characters
(= 115200 bits/s / (10 Bits/char) * 1ms). As the mxs-auart has a fifo size
of 16 characters the clock is gated too early. The problem is worse for
lower baud rates.

This only happens to really shut down the transmitter in the middle of a
transfer if /dev/ttyAPPx isn't opened in userspace (e.g. by a getty) but
was at least once (because the bootloader doesn't disable the transmitter).

So increase the timeout to 20 ms which should be enough for 9600n8, too.
Moreover skip gating the clock if the timeout is elapsed.
