xen-netback: cancel the credit timer when taking the vif down

2013-02-28T14:59:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3e55f8b306cf305832a4ac78aa82e1b40e818ece ] If the credit timer is left armed after calling xen_netbk_remove_xenvif(), then it may fire and attempt to schedule the vif which will then oops as vif->netbk == NULL. This may happen both in the fatal error path and during normal disconnection from the front end. The sequencing during shutdown is critical to ensure that: a) vif->netbk doesn't become unexpectedly NULL; and b) the net device/vif is not freed. 1. Mark as unschedulable (netif_carrier_off()). 2. Synchronously cancel the timer. 3. Remove the vif from the schedule list. 4. Remove it from it netback thread group. 5. Wait for vif->refcnt to become 0.

xen-netback: correctly return errors from netbk_count_requests()

2013-02-28T14:59:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 35876b5ffc154c357476b2c3bdab10feaf4bd8f0 ] netbk_count_requests() could detect an error, call netbk_fatal_tx_error() but return 0. The vif may then be used afterwards (e.g., in a call to netbk_tx_error(). Since netbk_fatal_tx_error() could set vif->refcnt to 1, the vif may be freed immediately after the call to netbk_fatal_tx_error() (e.g., if the vif is also removed).

p54usb: corrected USB ID for T-Com Sinus 154 data II

2013-02-28T14:59:02+00:00

commit 008e33f733ca51acb2dd9d88ea878693b04d1d2a upstream. Corrected USB ID for T-Com Sinus 154 data II. ISL3887-based. The device was tested in managed mode with no security, WEP 128 bit and WPA-PSK (TKIP) with firmware 2.13.1.0.lm87.arm (md5sum: 7d676323ac60d6e1a3b6d61e8c528248). It works.

rtlwifi: usb: allocate URB control message setup_packet and data buffer separately

2013-02-28T14:59:00+00:00

commit bc6b89237acb3dee6af6e64e51a18255fef89cc2 upstream. rtlwifi allocates both setup_packet and data buffer of control message urb, using shared kmalloc in _usbctrl_vendorreq_async_write. Structure used for allocating is: struct { u8 data[254]; struct usb_ctrlrequest dr; }; Because 'struct usb_ctrlrequest' is __packed, setup packet is unaligned and DMA mapping of both 'data' and 'dr' confuses ARM/sunxi, leading to memory corruptions and freezes. Patch changes setup packet to be allocated separately. [v2]: - Use WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

b43: Increase number of RX DMA slots

2013-02-28T14:58:59+00:00

commit ccae0e50c16a7f7adb029c169147400d1ce9f703 upstream. Bastian Bittorf reported that some of the silent freezes on a Linksys WRT54G were due to overflow of the RX DMA ring buffer, which was created with 64 slots. That finding reminded me that I was seeing similar crashed on a netbook, which also has a relatively slow processor. After increasing the number of slots to 128, runs on the netbook that previously failed now worked; however, I found that 109 slots had been used in one test. For that reason, the number of slots is being increased to 256. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Cc: Bastian Bittorf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

igb: Remove artificial restriction on RQDPC stat reading

2013-02-17T18:49:26+00:00

commit ae1c07a6b7ced6c0c94c99e3b53f4e7856fa8bff upstream. For some reason the reading of the RQDPC register was being artificially limited to 4K. Instead of limiting the value we should read the value and add the full amount. Otherwise this can lead to a misleading number of dropped packets when the actual value is in fact much higher.

[ Upstream commit daf3ec688e057f6060fb9bb0819feac7a8bbf45c ] TG3_PHY_AUXCTL_SMDSP_ENABLE/DISABLE macros do a blind write to the phy auxiliary control register and overwrite the EXT_PKT_LEN (bit 14) resulting in intermittent crc errors on jumbo frames with some link partners.

tg3: Avoid null pointer dereference in tg3_interrupt in netconsole mode

2013-02-14T18:49:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9c13cb8bb477a83b9a3c9e5a5478a4e21294a760 ] When netconsole is enabled, logging messages generated during tg3_open can result in a null pointer dereference for the uninitialized tg3 status block. Use the irq_sync flag to disable polling in the early stages. irq_sync is cleared when the driver is enabling interrupts after all initialization is completed.
