e1000e: remove use of IP payload checksum

2012-07-01T07:25:32+00:00

Currently only used when packet split mode is enabled with jumbo frames,
IP payload checksum (for fragmented UDP packets) is mutually exclusive with
receive hashing offload since the hardware uses the same space in the
receive descriptor for the hardware-provided packet checksum and the RSS
hash, respectively.  Users currently must disable jumbos when receive
hashing offload is enabled, or vice versa, because of this incompatibility.
Since testing has shown that IP payload checksum does not provide any real
benefit, just remove it so that there is no longer a choice between jumbos
or receive hashing offload but not both as done in other Intel GbE drivers
(e.g. e1000, igb).

Also, add a missing check for IP checksum error reported by the hardware;
let the stack verify the checksum when this happens.

igbvf: fix divide by zero

2012-07-01T00:40:45+00:00

Using ethtool -C ethX rx-usecs 0 crashes with a divide by zero.
Refactor this function to fix this issue and make it more clear
what the intent of each conditional is. Add comment regarding
using a setting of zero.

John Linville says:

====================
Amitkumar Karwar gives us two mwifiex fixes: one fixes some skb
manipulations when handling some event messages; and another that
does some similar fixing on an error path.

Avinash Patil gives us a fix for for a memory leak in mwifiex.

Dan Rosenberg offers an NFC NCI fix to enforce some message length
limits to prevent buffer overflows.

Eliad Peller provides a mac80211 fix to prevent some frames from
being built with an invalid BSSID.

Eric Dumazet sends an NFC fix to prevent a BUG caused by a NULL
pointer dereference.

Felix Fietkau has an ath9k fix for a regression causing
LEAP-authenticated connection failures.

Johannes Berg provides an iwlwifi fix that eliminates some log SPAM
after an authentication/association timeout.  He also provides a
mac80211 fix to prevent incorrectly addressing certain action frames
(and in so doing, to comply with the 802.11 specs).

Larry Finger provides a few USB IDs for the rtl8192cu driver --
should be harmless.

Panayiotis Karabassis provices a one-liner to fix kernel bug 42903
(a system freeze).

Randy Dunlap provides a one-line Kconfig change to prevent build
failures with some configurations.

Stone Piao provides an mwifiex sequence numbering fix and a fix
to prevent mwifiex from attempting to include eapol frames in an
aggregation frame.

Finally, Tom Hughes provides an ath9k fix for a NULL pointer
dereference.

gianfar: Fix RXICr/TXICr programming for multi-queue mode

2012-06-28T23:57:26+00:00

The correct behavior is to program the interrupt coalescing regs
(RXICr/TXICr) in accordance with the Rx/Tx Q's "rx/txcoalescing"
flag. That is, if the coalescing flag is 0 for a given Rx/Tx queue
then the corresponding coalescing register should be cleared.
This behavior is correctly implemented for the single-queue mode
(SQ_SG_MODE), but not for the multi-queue mode (MQ_MG_MODE).
This fixes the later case.

net: qmi_wwan: fix Oops while disconnecting

2012-06-28T23:53:28+00:00

usbnet_disconnect() will set intfdata to NULL before calling
the minidriver unbind function.  The cdc_wdm subdriver cannot
know that it is disconnecting until the qmi_wwan unbind
function has called its disconnect function.  This means that
we must be able to support the cdc_wdm subdriver operating
normally while usbnet_disconnect() is running, and in
particular that intfdata may be NULL.

The only place this matters is in qmi_wwan_cdc_wdm_manage_power
which is called from cdc_wdm.  Simply testing for NULL
intfdata there is sufficient to allow it to continue working
at all times.

Fixes this Oops where a cdc-wdm device was closed while the
USB device was disconnecting, causing wdm_release to call
qmi_wwan_cdc_wdm_manage_power after intfdata was set to
NULL by usbnet_disconnect:
