Without calling of netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe the operstate is unknown when the device is initially opened. By default the carrier is on so when the device is opened and netif_carrier_on is called the link watch event is not fired and operstate remains zero (unknown). This patch fixes this behavior in forcedeth and r8169. Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Acked-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Systems containing an 82599EB and running a backported driver from upstream were panicing on boot. It turns out hw->mac.ops.setup_sfp is only set for 82599, so one should check to be sure that pointer is set before continuing in ixgbe_sfp_config_module_task. I verified by inspection that the upstream driver has the same issue and also added a check before the call in ixgbe_sfp_link_config.

The driver was not flushing all writebacks before unloading, possibly causing memory to be written by the hardware after the driver had reinitialized the rings. This adds missing functionality to flush any pending writebacks and is called in all spots where descriptors should be completed before the driver begins processing.

There was a bug in my commit c978e7bb ("hisax: Fix unchecked alloc_skb() return.") One of the l2->flag checks is wrong. Even worse it turns out I'm duplicating an existing function, so use that instead. Reported-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link notifications as a sort of side effect. In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit request from a driver. This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on. This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default.

When a Virtual Machine is rebooted, KVM currently fails to issue a Function Level Reset against any "Attached PCI Devices" (AKA "PCI Passthrough"). In addition to leaving the attached device in a random state in the next booted kernel (which sort of violates the entire idea of a reboot reseting hardware state), this leaves our peer thinking that the link is still up. (Note that a bug has been filed with the KVM folks, #25332, but there's been no response on that as of yet.) So, we add a "->shutdown()" method for the Virtual Function PCI Device to handle administrative shutdowns like a reboot. Signed-off-by: Casey Leedom <leedom@chelsio.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

With the specification of hardware, the processing at the time of driver starting was modified. This device write automatically the MAC address read from serial ROM into a MAC Adress1A/1B register at the time of power on reset. However, when stable clock is not supplied, the writing of MAC Adress1A/1B register may not be completed. In this case, it is necessary to load MAC address to MAC Address1A/1B register by the MAC Address1 load register. This patch always does the above processing, in order not to be dependent on system environment. Signed-off-by: Toshiharu Okada <toshiharu-linux@dsn.okisemi.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

If alloc_skb() fails to allocate memory and returns NULL then we want to return -ENOMEM from drivers/atm/solos-pci.c::popen() regardless of the value of net_ratelimit(). The way the code is today, we may not return if net_ratelimit() returns 0, then we'll proceed to pass a NULL pointer to skb_put() which will blow up in our face. This patch ensures that we always return -ENOMEM on alloc_skb() failure and only let the dev_warn() be controlled by the value of net_ratelimit().

In drivers/net/usb/hso.c::hso_create_bulk_serial_device() we have this code: ... serial = kzalloc(sizeof(*serial), GFP_KERNEL); if (!serial) goto exit; ... exit: hso_free_tiomget(serial); ... hso_free_tiomget() directly dereferences its argument, which in the example above is a NULL pointer, ouch. I could just add a 'if (serial)' test at the 'exit' label, but since most freeing functions in the kernel accept NULL pointers (and it seems like this was also assumed here) I opted to instead change 'hso_free_tiomget()' so that it is safe to call it with a NULL argument. I also modified the function to get rid of a pointles conditional before the call to 'usb_free_urb()' since that function already tests for NULL itself - besides fixing the NULL deref this change also buys us a few bytes in size.

As it turns out we never need to walk through the list of multicast groups subscribed by the bridge interface itself (the only time we'd want to do that is when we shut down the bridge, in which case we simply walk through all multicast groups), we don't really need to keep an hlist for mp->mglist. This means that we can replace it with just a single bit to indicate whether the bridge interface is subscribed to a group.

In a couple of spots where we are supposed to modify the port group timer (p->timer) we instead modify the bridge interface group timer (mp->timer). The effect of this is mostly harmless. However, it can cause port subscriptions to be longer than they should be, thus making snooping less effective. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

The list mp->mglist is used to indicate whether a multicast group is active on the bridge interface itself as opposed to one of the constituent interfaces in the bridge. Unfortunately the operation that adds the mp->mglist node to the list neglected to check whether it has already been added. This leads to list corruption in the form of nodes pointing to itself. Normally this would be quite obvious as it would cause an infinite loop when walking the list. However, as this list is never actually walked (which means that we don't really need it, I'll get rid of it in a subsequent patch), this instead is hidden until we perform a delete operation on the affected nodes. As the same node may now be pointed to by more than one node, the delete operations can then cause modification of freed memory. This was observed in practice to cause corruption in 512-byte slabs, most commonly leading to crashes in jbd2. Thanks to Josef Bacik for pointing me in the right direction.
