be2net: fix disabling TX in be_close()

2013-08-23T02:58:23+00:00

commit fba875591 ("disable TX in be_close()") disabled TX in be_close()
to protect be_xmit() from touching freed up queues in the AER recovery
flow.  But, TX must be disabled *before* cleaning up TX completions in
the close() path, not after. This allows be_tx_compl_clean() to free up
all TX-req skbs that were notified to the HW.

hso: Fix stack corruption on some architectures

2013-08-22T03:47:59+00:00

As Sergei Shtylyov explained in the #mipslinux IRC channel:
[Mon 2013-08-19 12:28:21 PM PDT]  guys, are you sure it's not "DMA off stack" case?
[Mon 2013-08-19 12:28:35 PM PDT]  it's a known stack corruptor on non-coherent arches
[Mon 2013-08-19 12:31:48 PM PDT]  headless: for usb/ehci?
[Mon 2013-08-19 12:34:11 PM PDT]  headless: explain
[Mon 2013-08-19 12:35:38 PM PDT]  usb_control_msg() (or other such func) should not use buffer on stack. DMA from/to stack is prohibited
[Mon 2013-08-19 12:35:58 PM PDT]  and EHCI uses DMA on control xfers (as well as all the others)

hso: Earlier catch of error condition

2013-08-22T03:47:59+00:00

There is no need to get an interface specification if we know it's the
wrong one.

sfc: Fix lookup of default RX MAC filters when steered using ethtool

2013-08-21T13:18:12+00:00

commit 385904f819e3 ('sfc: Don't use
efx_filter_{build,hash,increment}() for default MAC filters') used the
wrong name to find the index of default RX MAC filters at insertion/
update time.  This could result in memory corruption and would in any
case silently fail to update the filter.

Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless

2013-08-21T00:25:55+00:00

John W. Linville says:

====================
Regarding the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:

"We revert an rfkill bugfix that unfortunately caused more bugs, shuffle
some code to avoid touching the PCIe device before it's enabled and
disconnect if firmware fails to do our bidding. I also have Stanislaw's
fix to not crash in some channel switch scenarios."

As for the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"This time, I have one fix from Dan Carpenter for users of
nl80211hdr_put(), and one fix from myself fixing a regression with the
libertas driver."

Along with the above...

Dan Carpenter fixes some incorrectly placed "address of" operators
in hostap that caused copying of junk data.

Jussi Kivilinna corrects zd1201 to use an allocated buffer rather
than the stack for a URB operation.

This is to fix a problem in the rtl8211 where the driver
wasn't properly enabled the interrupt on link change status.

r8169: remember WOL preferences on driver load

2013-08-20T23:48:32+00:00

Do not clear Broadcast/Multicast/Unicast Wake Flag or LanWake in
Config5. This is necessary to preserve WOL state when the driver is
loaded. Although the r8168 vendor driver does not write Config5 (it has
been commented out), Hayes Wang from Realtek said that masking bits like
this is more sensible.

via-ircc: don't return zero if via_ircc_open() failed

2013-08-20T20:27:28+00:00

If via_ircc_open() fails, data structures of the driver left uninitialized,
but probe (via_init_one()) returns zero. That can lead to null pointer dereference
in via_remove_one(), since it does not check drvdata for NULL.

The patch implements proper error code propagation.

macvtap: Ignore tap features when VNET_HDR is off

2013-08-20T20:09:12+00:00

When the user turns off VNET_HDR support on the
macvtap device, there is no way to provide any
offload information to the user.  So, it's safer
to ignore offload setting then depend on the user
setting them correctly.
