net: micrel : ks8851-ml: add vdd-supply support

2014-03-24T04:36:47Z

Few platforms use external regulator to keep the ethernet MAC supplied. So, request and enable the regulator for driver functionality.

netlink: fix setsockopt in mmap examples in documentation

2014-03-20T18:11:38Z

The documentation for how to use netlink mmap interface is incorrect. The calls to setsockopt() require an additional argument. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the game. Anyways: 1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes. From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann. 2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the release callbacks. This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving variables and such significantly clearer names such that the actual fix itself at the end looks trivial. From Michael S. Tsirkin. 3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on an already "owned" socket. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes multicast address. From Linus Lüssing. 5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter for the helper function call in the wrong register. Fix from Alexei Starovoitov. 6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the r8169 driver is incorrect. Fix from Hayes Wang. 7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test. It should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead. Fix from Wei Liu. 8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from Matthew Leach. 9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts in the latter. Fix from Alexander Aring. 10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct order, so promiscuous settings can get lost. Fix from Stefan Wahren. 11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann. 12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and Erik Hugne. 13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e. 6lowpan) can crash. Fix from Florian Westphal. 14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC. From Anton Blanchard. The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only as a value that, once folded (f.e. via csum_fold()) produces a correct 16-bit checksum. It is legitimate, therefore, for csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the same data if their respective alignments are different. 15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also from Anton Blanchard. 16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed, from Anton Nayshtut. 17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the garbage collection threshold. Fix from Sabrina Dubroca. 18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular causes the firmware to shut down the PHY. Fix from Michael Chan. 19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations. From Eric Dumazet. 20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay() call, fix from Ben Hutchings. 21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix from Eric Dumazet. 22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in some circumstances.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from from Olof Johansson: "A collection of fixes for ARM platforms. A little large due to us missing to do one last week, but there's nothing in particular here that is in itself large and scary. Mostly a handful of smaller fixes all over the place. The majority is made up of fixes for OMAP, but there are a few for others as well.

net: Improve SO_TIMESTAMPING documentation and fix a minor code bug

2014-03-06T21:18:01Z

The original documentation was very unclear. The code fix is presumably related to the formerly unclear documentation: SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE has no effect on __sock_recv_timestamp's behavior, so calling __sock_recv_ts_and_drops from sock_recv_ts_and_drops if only SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is set is pointless. This should have no user-observable effect. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Acked-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dm thin: fix Documentation for held metadata root feature

2014-03-06T19:23:35Z

The Documentation for the thin provisioning target's held metadata root feature was incorrect. It is now available and the value for the held metadata root is in block units (not 512b sectors). Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistency

2014-03-05T20:25:35Z

If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort, whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems) to have data loss. As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the thin metadata's superblock which: 1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use thin_check, etc) 2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck) The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is to run thin_repair. On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag. As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed: * don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set * don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set * if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel will allow the metadata space to be extended. Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures and running out of space.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix memory leak in ieee80211_prep_connection(), sta_info leaked on error. From Eytan Lifshitz. 2) Unintentional switch case fallthrough in nft_reject_inet_eval(), from Patrick McHardy. 3) Must check if payload lenth is a power of 2 in nft_payload_select_ops(), from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 4) Fix mis-checksumming in xen-netfront driver, ip_hdr() is not in the correct place when we invoke skb_checksum_setup(). From Wei Liu. 5) TUN driver should not advertise HW vlan offload features in vlan_features. Fix from Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao. 6) IPV6_VTI needs to select NET_IPV_TUNNEL to avoid build errors, fix from Steffen Klassert. 7) Add missing locking in xfrm_migrade_state_find(), we must hold the per-namespace xfrm_state_lock while traversing the lists. Fix from Steffen Klassert. 8) Missing locking in ath9k driver, access to tid->sched must be done under ath_txq_lock(). Fix from Stanislaw Gruszka. 9) Fix two bugs in TCP fastopen. First respect the size argument given to tcp_sendmsg() in the fastopen path, and secondly prevent tcp_send_syn_data() from potentially using order-5 allocations. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Fix handling of default neigh garbage collection params, from Jiri Pirko. 11) Fix cwnd bloat and over-inflation of RTT when transmit segmentation is in use. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Missing initialization of Realtek r8169 driver's statistics seqlocks. Fix from Kyle McMartin. 13) Fix RTNL assertion failures in 802.3ad and AB ARP monitor of bonding driver, from Ding Tianhong. 14) Bonding slave release race can cause divide by zero, fix from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 15) Overzealous return from neigh_periodic_work() causes reachability time to not be computed. Fix from Duain Jiong. 16) Fix regression in ipv6_find_hdr(), it should not return -ENOENT when a specific target is specified and found. From Hans Schillstrom. 17) Fix VLAN tag stripping regression in BNA driver, from Ivan Vecera. 18) Tail loss probe can calculate bogus RTTs due to missing packet marking on retransmit. Fix from Yuchung Cheng. 19) We cannot do skb_dst_drop() in iptunnel_pull_header() because multicast loopback detection in later code paths need access to skb_rtable(). Fix from Xin Long. 20) The macvlan driver regresses in that it propagates lower device offload support disables into itself, causing severe slowdowns when running over a bridge. Provide the software offloads always on macvlan devices to deal with this and the regression is gone.
