      E100: fix interaction with swiotlb on X86. · 6ff9c2e7
      Krzysztof Hałasa authored
      E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them
      with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Data in descriptors is
      accessed simultaneously by the chip (writing status and size when
      a packet is received) and CPU (reading to check if the packet was
      received). This isn't a valid usage of PCI DMA API, which requires use
      of the coherent (consistent) memory for such purpose. Unfortunately e100
      chips working in "simplified" RX mode have to store received data
      directly after the descriptor. Fixing the driver to conform to the API
      would require using unsupported "flexible" RX mode or receiving data
      into a coherent memory and using CPU to copy it to network buffers.
      
      This patch, while not yet making the driver conform to the PCI DMA API,
      allows it to work correctly on X86 with swiotlb (while not breaking
      other architectures).

      ibm_newemac: emac_close() needs to call netif_carrier_off() · d3b325f9
      Petri Gynther authored
      When ibm_newemac netdev instance is shutdown with "ifconfig down",
      the netdev interface does not go properly down. netif_carrier_ok()
      keeps returning TRUE even after "ifconfig down".
      
      The problem can be seen when ibm_newemac instances are slaves of
      a bonding interface. The bonding interface code uses netif_carrier_ok()
      to determine the link status of its slaves. When ibm_newemac slave is
      shutdown with "ifconfig down", the bonding interface won't detect any
      link status change because netif_carrier_ok() keeps returning TRUE.

      o Free napi resources and delete napi during detach.
      
      This ensures right behavior across firmware reset.

      netxen: remove netxen workqueue · e424fa9d
      Amit Kumar Salecha authored
      o Remove private workqueue in the driver, move all
        scheduled tasks to keventd workqueues. This makes
        ports (interfaces) of same / different NIC boards
        independent, in terms of their link watchdog and
        reset tasks.
      
      o Move quick checks for link status and temperature
        in timer callback, schedule watchdog task only if
        link status changed or temperature reached critical
        threshold.
      
      This also fixes deadlock when thermal panic occurs,
      watchdog work was flushing workqueue that it was
      sitting on.

      ixgbe: fix issues setting rx-usecs with legacy interrupts · 237057ad
      Don Skidmore authored
      Currently setting rx-usecs when the interface is in legacy interrupt
      mode it is not immediate.  We were only setting EITR for each MSIx
      vector and since this count would be zero for legacy mode it wasn't
      set until after a reset.  This patch corrects that by checking what
      mode we are in and then setting EITR accordingly.

      can: fix oops caused by wrong rtnl newlink usage · 993e6f2f
      Oliver Hartkopp authored
      For 'real' hardware CAN devices the netlink interface is used to set CAN
      specific communication parameters. Real CAN hardware can not be created with
      the ip tool ...
      
      The invocation of 'ip link add type can' lead to an oops as the standard rtnl
      newlink function was called:
      
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13954
      
      This patch adds a private newlink function for the CAN device driver interface
      that unconditionally returns -EOPNOTSUPP.

      mac80211: fix panic when splicing unprepared TIDs · 416fbdff
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID
      onto the local pending queue when tearing down a
      block ack request. This is not necessary unless we
      actually have received a request to start a block ack
      request (rate control, for example). If we never received
      that request we should not be splicing the tid pending
      queue as it would be null, causing a panic.
      
      Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the
      tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set,
      that will require some further review as it is not quite
      obvious.
      
      For more information see the bug report:
      
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13922
