<content type='text'>
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed,
manually.

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across
the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer
was used directly, all done with the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - fn(SKB, LEN)[0]
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the
more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for
this.

An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many
of the places using it:

    identifier p, p2;
    expression len, skb, data;
    type t, t2;

    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
    )
    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memcpy(p2, data, len);
    |
    -memcpy(p, data, len);
    )

<title>usbnet: remove generic hard_header_len check</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eb85569fe2d06c2fbf4de7b66c263ca095b397aa</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes a generic hard_header_len check from the usbnet
module that is causing dropped packages under certain circumstances
for devices that send rx packets that cross urb boundaries.

One example is the AX88772B which occasionally send rx packets that
cross urb boundaries where the remaining partial packet is sent with
no hardware header. When the buffer with a partial packet is of less
number of octets than the value of hard_header_len the buffer is
discarded by the usbnet module.

With AX88772B this can be reproduced by using ping with a packet
size between 1965-1976.

The bug has been reported here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29082

This patch introduces the following changes:
- Removes the generic hard_header_len check in the rx_complete
  function in the usbnet module.
- Introduces a ETH_HLEN check for skbs that are not cloned from
  within a rx_fixup callback.
- For safety a hard_header_len check is added to each rx_fixup
  callback function that could be affected by this change.
  These extra checks could possibly be removed by someone
  who has the hardware to test.
- Removes a call to dev_kfree_skb_any() and instead utilizes the
  dev-&gt;done list to queue skbs for cleanup.

The changes place full responsibility on the rx_fixup callback
functions that clone skbs to only pass valid skbs to the
usbnet_skb_return function.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.   Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which
has been submitted separately.

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation
in the file header comment.  Resolve by replacing the address with
the URL &lt;http://www.gnu.org/licenses/&gt; so that we do not have to keep

<title>USB: remove dbg() usage in USB networking drivers</title>

<content type='text'>
The dbg() USB macro is so old, it predates me.  The USB networking drivers are
the last hold-out using this macro, and we want to get rid of it, so replace
the usage of it with the proper netdev_dbg() or dev_dbg() (depending on the
context) calls.

Some places we end up using a local variable for the debug call, so also
convert the other existing dev_* calls to use it as well, to save tiny amounts
of code space.

<title>USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e1f12eb6ba6f1e74007eb01ed26fad7c5239d62b</id>
<content type='text'>
Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices.  Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.

If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data.  Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.

The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host.  In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.

Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers.  I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

This converts the drivers in drivers/net/* to use the
module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.

Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
drivers loading and/or unloading.
