Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Bug fixes galore, mostly in drivers as is often the case: 1) USB gadget and cdc_eem drivers need adjustments to their frame size lengths in order to handle VLANs correctly. From Ian Coolidge. 2) TIPC and several network drivers erroneously call tasklet_disable before tasklet_kill, fix from Xiaotian Feng. 3) r8169 driver needs to apply the WOL suspend quirk to more chipsets, fix from Cyril Brulebois. 4) Fix multicast filters on RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_35 r8169 chips, from Nathan Walp. 5) FDB netlink dumps should use RTM_NEWNEIGH as the message type, not zero. From John Fastabend. 6) Fix smsc95xx tx checksum offload on big-endian, from Steve Glendinning. 7) __inet_diag_dump() needs to repsect and report the error value returned from inet_diag_lock_handler() rather than ignore it. Otherwise if an inet diag handler is not available for a particular protocol, we essentially report success instead of giving an error indication. Fix from Cyrill Gorcunov. 8) When the QFQ packet scheduler sees TSO/GSO packets it does not handle things properly, and in fact ends up corrupting it's datastructures as well as mis-schedule packets. Fix from Paolo Valente. 9) Fix oopser in skb_loop_sk(), from Eric Leblond. 10) CXGB4 passes partially uninitialized datastructures in to FW commands, fix from Vipul Pandya. 11) When we send unsolicited ipv6 neighbour advertisements, we should send them to the link-local allnodes multicast address, as per RFC4861. Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 12) There is some kind of bug in the usbnet's kevent deferral mechanism, but more immediately when it triggers an uncontrolled stream of kernel messages spam the log. Rate limit the error log message triggered when this problem occurs, as sending thousands of error messages into the kernel log doesn't help matters at all, and in fact makes further diagnosis more difficult. From Steve Glendinning. 13) Fix gianfar restore from hibernation, from Wang Dongsheng. 14) The netlink message attribute sizes are wrong in the ipv6 GRE driver, it was using the size of ipv4 addresses instead of ipv6 ones :-) Fix from Nicolas Dichtel." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: gre6: fix rtnl dump messages gianfar: ethernet vanishes after restoring from hibernation usbnet: ratelimit kevent may have been dropped warnings ipv6: send unsolicited neighbour advertisements to all-nodes net: usb: cdc_eem: Fix rx skb allocation for 802.1Q VLANs usb: gadget: g_ether: fix frame size check for 802.1Q cxgb4: Fix initialization of SGE_CONTROL register isdn: Make CONFIG_ISDN depend on CONFIG_NETDEVICES cxgb4: Initialize data structures before using. af-packet: fix oops when socket is not present pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSO net: inet_diag -- Return error code if protocol handler is missed net: bnx2x: Fix typo in bnx2x driver smsc95xx: fix tx checksum offload for big endian rtnetlink: Use nlmsg type RTM_NEWNEIGH from dflt fdb dump ptp: update adjfreq callback description r8169: allow multicast packets on sub-8168f chipset. r8169: Fix WoL on RTL8168d/8111d. drivers/net: use tasklet_kill in device remove/close process tipc: do not use tasklet_disable before tasklet_kill

Pull sparc fixes from David Miller: "Several build/bug fixes for sparc, including: 1) Configuring a mix of static vs. modular sparc64 crypto modules didn't work, remove an ill-conceived attempt to only have to build the device match table for these drivers once to fix the problem. Reported by Meelis Roos. 2) Make the montgomery multiple/square and mpmul instructions actually usable in 32-bit tasks. Essentially this involves providing 32-bit userspace with a way to use a 64-bit stack when it needs to. 3) Our sparc64 atomic backoffs don't yield cpu strands properly on Niagara chips. Use pause instruction when available to achieve this, otherwise use a benign instruction we know blocks the strand for some time. 4) Wire up kcmp 5) Fix the build of various drivers by removing the unnecessary blocking of OF_GPIO when SPARC. 6) Fix unintended regression wherein of_address_to_resource stopped being provided. Fix from Andreas Larsson. 7) Fix NULL dereference in leon_handle_ext_irq(), also from Andreas Larsson." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc: sparc64: Fix build with mix of modular vs. non-modular crypto drivers. sparc: Support atomic64_dec_if_positive properly. of/address: sparc: Declare of_address_to_resource() as an extern function for sparc again sparc32, leon: Check for existent irq_map entry in leon_handle_ext_irq sparc: Add sparc support for platform_get_irq() sparc: Allow OF_GPIO on sparc. qlogicpti: Fix build warning. sparc: Wire up sys_kcmp. sparc64: Improvde documentation and readability of atomic backoff code. sparc64: Use pause instruction when available. sparc64: Fix cpu strand yielding. sparc64: Make montmul/montsqr/mpmul usable in 32-bit threads.

Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "There are three ARM compile fixes (we forgot to export certain functions and if the drivers are built as an module - we go belly-up). There is also an mismatch of irq_enter() / exit_idle() calls sequence which were fixed some time ago in other piece of codes, but failed to appear in the Xen code. Lastly a fix for to help in the field with troubleshooting in case we cannot get the appropriate parameter and also fallback code when working with very old hypervisors."

sparc64: Fix build with mix of modular vs. non-modular crypto drivers.

2012-11-10T04:55:16+00:00

We tried linking in a single built object to hold the device table, but only works if all of the sparc64 crypto modules get built the same way (modular vs. non-modular). Just include the device ID stub into each driver source file so that the table gets compiled into the correct result in all cases. Reported-by: Meelis Roos Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc: Support atomic64_dec_if_positive properly.

2012-11-10T03:37:59+00:00

Sparc32 already supported it, as a consequence of using the generic atomic64 implementation. And the sparc64 implementation is rather trivial. This allows us to set ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE for all of sparc, and avoid the annoying warning from lib/atomic64_test.c Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

of/address: sparc: Declare of_address_to_resource() as an extern function for sparc again

2012-11-10T00:30:50+00:00

This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc. The bug was introduced in a850a7554442f08d3e910c6eeb4ee216868dda1e, "of/address: add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However, for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c Solution suggested by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Andreas Larsson Acked-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc32, leon: Check for existent irq_map entry in leon_handle_ext_irq

2012-11-10T00:30:50+00:00

If an irq is being unlinked concurrently with leon_handle_ext_irq, irq_map[eirq] might be null in leon_handle_ext_irq. Make sure that this is not dereferenced. Signed-off-by: Andreas Larsson Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
