stmmac: Fix incorrect spinlock release and PTP cap detection.

2013-12-30T03:37:00+00:00

This patch corrects a problem in stmmac_ptp.c, functions
stmmac_adjust_time and stmmac_adjust_freq where the incorrect spinlocks
were released. This patch also addresses a problem in stmmac_main,
function stmmac_init_ptp where the capability detection for
advanced timestamping was masked by message masking.

This patch was touch tested using linuxptp, and runs without the previously
observed instabilities. More extensive testing is ongoing.

phy: IRQ cannot be shared

2013-12-30T03:35:16+00:00

With the way PHY IRQ handler is implemented (all real handling being pushed to
the workqueue and returning IRQ_HANDLED all the time PHY is active), we cannot
really claim that PHY IRQ can be shared when calling request_irq().

xen-netback: fix guest-receive-side array sizes

2013-12-30T03:31:30+00:00

The sizes chosen for the metadata and grant_copy_op arrays on the guest
receive size are wrong;

- The meta array is needlessly twice the ring size, when we only ever
  consume a single array element per RX ring slot
- The grant_copy_op array is way too small. It's sized based on a bogus
  assumption: that at most two copy ops will be used per ring slot. This
  may have been true at some point in the past but it's clear from looking
  at start_new_rx_buffer() that a new ring slot is only consumed if a frag
  would overflow the current slot (plus some other conditions) so the actual
  limit is MAX_SKB_FRAGS grant_copy_ops per ring slot.

This patch fixes those two sizing issues and, because grant_copy_ops grows
so much, it pulls it out into a separate chunk of vmalloc()ed memory.

fec: Do not assume that PHY reset is active low

2013-12-30T03:27:00+00:00

We should not assume that the PHY reset is always active low.

Retrieve this information from the device tree instead, so that the PHY reset
can work on both cases.

netxen: Correct off-by-one errors in bounds checks

2013-12-27T18:08:25+00:00

netxen_process_lro() contains two bounds checks.  One for the ring number
against the number of rings, and one for the Rx buffer ID against the
array of receive buffers.

Both of these have off-by-one errors, using > instead of >=. The correct
versions are used in netxen_process_rcv(), they're just wrong in
netxen_process_lro().

arc_emac: fix potential use after free

skb_tx_timestamp(skb) should be called _before_ TX completion
has a chance to trigger, otherwise it is too late and we access

tg3: Expand 4g_overflow_test workaround to skb fragments of any size.

2013-12-27T17:51:44+00:00

The current driver assumes that an skb fragment can only be upto jumbo
size. Presumably this was a fast-path optimization. This assumption is
no longer true as fragments can be upto 32k.

v2: Remove unnecessary parantheses per Eric Dumazet.

macvlan: fix netdev feature propagation from lower device

2013-12-26T18:41:00+00:00

There are inconsistencies wrt. feature propagation/inheritance between
macvlan and the underlying interface.

When a feature is turned off on the real device before a macvlan is
created on top, these will remain enabled on the macvlan device, whereas
turning off the feature on the lower device after macvlan creation the
kernel will propagate the changes to the macvlan.

The second issue is that, when propagating changes from underlying device
to the macvlan interface, macvlan can erronously lose its NETIF_F_LLTX flag,
as features are anded with the underlying device.

However, LLTX should be kept since it has no dependencies on physical
hardware (LLTX is set on macvlan creation regardless of the lower
device properties, see 8ffab51b3dfc54876f145f15b351c41f3f703195
(macvlan: lockless tx path).

The LLTX flag is now forced regardless of user settings in absence of
layer2 hw acceleration (a6cc0cfa72e0b6d9f2c8fd858aa,
net: Add layer 2 hardware acceleration operations for macvlan devices).

Use netdev_increment_features to rebuild the feature set on capability
changes on either the lower device or on the macvlan interface.

As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, use netdev_update_features on
NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event (it calls macvlan_fix_features/netdev_features_change
if needed).

drivers: net : cpsw: pass proper device name while requesting irq

2013-12-22T23:22:15+00:00

During checking the interrupts with "cat /proc/interrupts", it is showing
device name as (null), this change was done with commit id aa1a15e2d where
request_irq is changed to devm_request_irq also changing the irq name from
platform device name to net device name, but the net device is not
registered at this point with the network frame work, so devm_request_irq
is called with device name as NULL, by which it is showed as "(null)" in
"cat /proc/interrupts". So this patch changes back irq name to platform
device name itself in devm_request_irq so that the device name shows as
below.

cxgb4: Add API to correctly calculate tuple fields

2013-12-22T23:09:08+00:00

Adds API cxgb4_select_ntuple so as to enable Upper Level Drivers to correctly
calculate the tuple fields.

Adds constant definitions for TP_VLAN_PRI_MAP for the Compressed
Filter Tuple field widths and structures and uses them.

Also, the CPL Parameters field for T5 is 40 bits so we need to prototype
cxgb4_select_ntuple() to calculate and return u64 values.
