mwifiex: do not create AP and P2P interfaces upon driver loading

2013-09-14T14:06:46+00:00

commit 1211c961170cedb21c30d5bb7e2033c8720b38db upstream. Bug 60747 - 1286:2044 [Microsoft Surface Pro] Marvell 88W8797 wifi show 3 interface under network https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60747 This issue was also reported previously by OLPC and some folks from the community. There are 3 network interfaces with different types being created when mwifiex driver is loaded: 1. mlan0 (infra. STA) 2. uap0 (AP) 3. p2p0 (P2P_CLIENT) The Network Manager attempts to use all 3 interfaces above without filtering the managed interface type. As the result, 3 identical interfaces are displayed under network manager. If user happens to click on an entry under which its interface is uap0 or p2p0, the association will fail. Work around it by removing the creation of AP and P2P interfaces at driver loading time. These interfaces can be added with 'iw' or other applications manually when they are needed.

net: fec: fix time stamping logic after napi conversion

2013-08-30T22:01:19+00:00

Commit dc975382 "net: fec: add napi support to improve proformance" converted the fec driver to the napi model. However, that commit forgot to remove the call to skb_defer_rx_timestamp which is only needed in non-napi drivers. (The function napi_gro_receive eventually calls netif_receive_skb, which in turn calls skb_defer_rx_timestamp.) This patch should also be applied to the 3.9 and 3.10 kernels.

net: usb: Add HP hs2434 device to ZLP exception table

2013-08-28T22:22:15+00:00

This patch adds another entry (HP hs2434 Mobile Broadband) to the list of exceptional devices that require a zero length packet in order to function properly. This list was added in commit 844e88f0. The hs2434 is manufactured by Sierra Wireless, who also produces the MC7710, which the ZLP exception list was created for in the first place. So hopefully it is just this one producer's devices that will need this workaround. Tested on a DM1-4310NR HP notebook, which does not function without this change.

bnx2x: Fix VF stats sync

2013-08-28T02:03:04+00:00

Since the PF gathers statistics for the VF, when the VF is about to unload we must synchronize the release of its statistics buffer with the PF, so that no DMA operation will be made to that address after the buffer release.

bnx2x: Fix move FP memory deallocations

2013-08-28T02:03:04+00:00

If driver will fail to allocate all queues, it will shrink the number of queues and move the storage queue to its correct place (i.e., the last queue among the newly supported number). When changing the pointers of the new location of the FCoE queue, we need to pay special attention to the aggregations pointer - that memory is allocated during probe and released upon driver removal. Current implementation has 2 pointers pointing to the same chunk of allocated memory, meaning upon removal there will be two kfree() of the same chunk while the other won't be released.
