Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Various VTI tunnel (mark handling, PMTU) bug fixes from Alexander
    Duyck and Steffen Klassert.

 2) Revert ethtool PHY query change, it wasn't correct.  The PHY address
    selected by the driver running the PHY to MAC connection decides
    what PHY address GET ethtool operations return information from.

 3) Fix handling of sequence number bits for encryption IV generation in
    ESP driver, from Herbert Xu.

 4) UDP can return -EAGAIN when we hit a bad checksum on receive, even
    when there are other packets in the receive queue which is wrong.
    Just respect the error returned from the generic socket recv
    datagram helper.  From Eric Dumazet.

 5) Fix BNA driver firmware loading on big-endian systems, from Ivan
    Vecera.

 6) Fix regression in that we were inheriting the congestion control of
    the listening socket for new connections, the intended behavior
    always was to use the default in this case.  From Neal Cardwell.

 7) Fix NULL deref in brcmfmac driver, from Arend van Spriel.

 8) OTP parsing fix in iwlwifi from Liad Kaufman.

bnx2x: Move statistics implementation into semaphores

2015-06-01T19:04:31+00:00

Commit dff173de84958 ("bnx2x: Fix statistics locking scheme") changed the
bnx2x locking around statistics state into using a mutex - but the lock
is being accessed via a timer which is forbidden.

[If compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES, logs show a warning about
accessing the mutex in interrupt context]

This moves the implementation into using a semaphore [with size '1']
instead.

xen: netback: read hotplug script once at start of day.

2015-06-01T19:03:04+00:00

When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the
uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been
removed (details below).

In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug
script and will write a xenstore error node.

A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now
sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before).

Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it
for the lifetime of the backend device.

The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to
state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work
because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in
reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being
already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing
down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to
arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing)
such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is
fragile and prone to anger...

A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver
domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it
will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence
wrt xenstore changes.

xen: netback: fix printf format string warning

drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c: In function ‘xenvif_tx_build_gops’:

PAGE_MASK's type can vary by arch, so a cast is needed.

sfc: free multiple Rx buffers when required

2015-06-01T00:36:20+00:00

When Rx packet data must be dropped, all the buffers
associated with that Rx packet must be freed. Extend
and rename efx_free_rx_buffer() to efx_free_rx_buffers()
and loop through all the fragments.
By doing so this patch fixes a possible memory leak.

bna: fix soft lock-up during firmware initialization failure

2015-05-31T06:46:49+00:00

Bug in the driver initialization causes soft-lockup if firmware
initialization timeout is reached. Polling function bfa_ioc_poll_fwinit()
incorrectly calls bfa_nw_iocpf_timeout() when the timeout is reached.
The problem is that bfa_nw_iocpf_timeout() calls again
bfa_ioc_poll_fwinit()... etc. The bfa_ioc_poll_fwinit() should directly
send timeout event for iocpf and the same should be done if firmware
download into HW fails.

bna: remove unreasonable iocpf timer start

2015-05-31T06:46:39+00:00

Driver starts iocpf timer prior bnad_ioceth_enable() call and this is
unreasonable. This piece of code probably originates from Brocade/Qlogic
out-of-box driver during initial import into upstream. This driver uses
only one timer and queue to implement multiple timers and this timer is
started at this place. The upstream driver uses multiple timers instead
of this.

bna: fix firmware loading on big-endian machines

2015-05-31T06:46:30+00:00

Firmware required by bna is stored in appropriate files as sequence
of LE32 integers. After loading by request_firmware() they need to be
byte-swapped on big-endian arches. Without this conversion the NIC
is unusable on big-endian machines.
