ixgbevf: Prevent RX/TX statistics getting reset to zero

2014-12-01T10:02:45+00:00

commit 936597631dd310e220544dc5c6075d924efd39b2 upstream. The commit 4197aa7bb81877ebb06e4f2cc1b5fea2da23a7bd implements 64 bit per ring statistics. But the driver resets the 'total_bytes' and 'total_packets' from RX and TX rings in the RX and TX interrupt handlers to zero. This results in statistics being lost and user space reporting RX and TX statistics as zero. This patch addresses the issue by preventing the resetting of RX and TX ring statistics to zero.

rtl8192ce: Fix null dereference in watchdog

2014-12-01T10:02:44+00:00

Dmitry Semyonov reported that after upgrading from 3.2.54 to 3.2.57 the rtl8192ce driver will crash when its interface is brought up. The oops message shows: [ 1833.611397] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 [ 1833.611455] IP: [] rtl92ce_update_hal_rate_tbl+0x29/0x4db [rtl8192ce] ...

None of the changes to the rtlwifi family between 3.2.54 and 3.2.57 seem to directly cause this, and reverting commit f78bccd79ba3 ('rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs') doesn't fix it. rtl92c_dm_watchdog() calls rtl92ce_update_hal_rate_tbl() via rtl92c_dm_refresh_rate_adaptive_mask(), which does not appear in the call trace as it was inlined. That function has been completely removed upstream which may explain why this crash wasn't seen there. I'm not sure that it is sensible to completely remove rtl92c_dm_refresh_rate_adaptive_mask() without making other compensating changes elsewhere, so try to work around this for 3.2 by checking for a null pointer in rtl92c_dm_refresh_rate_adaptive_mask() and then skipping the call to rtl92ce_update_hal_rate_tbl().

commit e77980e50bc2850599d4d9c0192b67a9ffd6daac upstream. In order to make the driver work with the common clock framework, this patch converts the clk_enable()/clk_disable() to clk_prepare_enable()/clk_disable_unprepare(). While there, add the missing error handling. Signed-off-by: David Dueck Signed-off-by: Anthony Harivel Acked-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde Signed-off-by: Zefan Li

can: flexcan: put TX mailbox into TX_INACTIVE mode after tx-complete

2014-12-01T10:02:36+00:00

commit de5944883ebbedbf5adc8497659772f5da7b7d72 upstream. After sending a RTR frame the TX mailbox becomes a RX_EMPTY mailbox. To avoid side effects when the RX-FIFO is full, this patch puts the TX mailbox into TX_INACTIVE mode in the transmission complete interrupt handler. This, of course, leaves a race window between the actual completion of the transmission and the handling of tx-complete interrupt. However this is the best we can do without busy polling the tx complete interrupt. Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde [lizf: Backported to 3.4: adjust context] Signed-off-by: Zefan Li

can: flexcan: implement workaround for errata ERR005829

2014-12-01T10:02:36+00:00

commit 25e924450fcb23c11c07c95ea8964dd9f174652e upstream. This patch implements the workaround mentioned in ERR005829: ERR005829: FlexCAN: FlexCAN does not transmit a message that is enabled to be transmitted in a specific moment during the arbitration process. Workaround: The workaround consists of two extra steps after setting up a message for transmission: Step 8: Reserve the first valid mailbox as an inactive mailbox (CODE=0b1000). If RX FIFO is disabled, this mailbox must be message buffer 0. Otherwise, the first valid mailbox can be found using the "RX FIFO filters" table in the FlexCAN chapter of the chip reference manual. Step 9: Write twice INACTIVE code (0b1000) into the first valid mailbox. Signed-off-by: David Jander Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde Signed-off-by: Zefan Li

can: flexcan: correctly initialize mailboxes

2014-12-01T10:02:35+00:00

commit fc05b884a31dbf259cc73cc856e634ec3acbebb6 upstream. Apparently mailboxes may contain random data at startup, causing some of them being prepared for message reception. This causes overruns being missed or even confusing the IRQ check for trasmitted messages, increasing the transmit counter instead of the error counter. This patch initializes all mailboxes after the FIFO as RX_INACTIVE. Signed-off-by: David Jander Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde Signed-off-by: Zefan Li

ibmveth: Fix endian issues with rx_no_buffer statistic

2014-09-25T03:49:09+00:00

commit cbd5228199d8be45d895d9d0cc2b8ce53835fc21 upstream. Hidden away in the last 8 bytes of the buffer_list page is a solitary statistic. It needs to be byte swapped or else ethtool -S will produce numbers that terrify the user. Since we do this in multiple places, create a helper function with a comment explaining what is going on.
