usbnet: do not pretend to support SG/TSO

2013-08-11T22:38:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 20f0170377264e8449b6987041f0bcc4d746d3ed ] usbnet doesn't support yet SG, so drivers should not advertise SG or TSO capabilities, as they allow TCP stack to build large TSO packets that need to be linearized and might use order-5 pages. This adds an extra copy overhead and possible allocation failures. Current code ignore skb_linearize() return code so crashes are even possible. Best is to not pretend SG/TSO is supported, and add this again when/if usbnet really supports SG for devices who could get a performance gain.

arcnet: cleanup sizeof parameter

2013-08-11T22:38:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 087d273caf4f7d3f2159256f255f1f432bc84a5b ] This patch doesn't change the compiled code because ARC_HDR_SIZE is 4 and sizeof(int) is 4, but the intent was to use the header size and not the sizeof the header size.

rt2x00: fix stop queue

2013-08-11T22:38:22+00:00

commit e2288b66fe7ff0288382b2af671b4da558b44472 upstream. Since we clear QUEUE_STARTED in rt2x00queue_stop_queue(), following call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() reduce to noop, i.e we do not stop queue in mac80211. To fix that introduce rt2x00queue_pause_queue_nocheck() function, which will stop queue in mac80211 directly. Note that rt2x00_start_queue() explicitly set QUEUE_PAUSED bit. Note also that reordering operations i.e. first call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and then clear QUEUE_STARTED bit, will race with rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(), so calling ieee80211_stop_queue() directly is the only available solution to fix the problem without major rework.

ath9k_htc: do some initial hardware configuration

2013-08-11T22:38:22+00:00

commit dc2a87f519a4d8cb376ab54f22b6b98a943b51ce upstream. Currently we configure harwdare and clock, only after interface start. In this case, if we reload module or reboot PC without configuring adapter, firmware will freeze. There is no software way to reset adpter. This patch add initial configuration and set it in disabled state, to avoid this freeze. Behaviour of this patch should be similar to: ifconfig wlan0 up; ifconfig wlan0 down.

virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing

2013-08-04T07:43:40+00:00

commit cbdadbbf0c790f79350a8f36029208944c5487d0 upstream virtio net called virtqueue_enable_cq on RX path after napi_complete, so with NAPI_STATE_SCHED clear - outside the implicit napi lock. This violates the requirement to synchronize virtqueue_enable_cq wrt virtqueue_add_buf. In particular, used event can move backwards, causing us to lose interrupts. In a debug build, this can trigger panic within START_USE. Jason Wang reports that he can trigger the races artificially, by adding udelay() in virtqueue_enable_cb() after virtio_mb(). However, we must call napi_complete to clear NAPI_STATE_SCHED before polling the virtqueue for used buffers, otherwise napi_schedule_prep in a callback will fail, causing us to lose RX events. To fix, call virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare with NAPI_STATE_SCHED set (under napi lock), later call virtqueue_poll with NAPI_STATE_SCHED clear (outside the lock).

ifb: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls
