commit f96a4216e85050c0a9d41a41ecb0ae9d8e39b509 upstream.

The default 10 microsecond delay for the controller to come out of
halt in dbgp_ehci_startup is too short, so increase it to 1 millisecond.

This is based on emperical testing on various USB debug ports on
modern machines such as a Lenovo X220i and an Ivybridge development
platform that needed to wait ~450-950 microseconds.

[ 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.

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.

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.

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.

commit ce806a30470bcd846d148bf39d46de3ad7748228 upstream.

Linear copy works by adding the offset to the buffer address,
which may end up not being 16-byte aligned.

Some tests I've written for prime_pcopy show that the engine
allows this correctly, so the restriction on lowest 4 bits of
address can be lifted safely.

The comments added were by envyas, I think because I used
a newer version.
