ixgbe: fix EICR write in ixgbe_msix_other

2013-05-08T02:51:56Z

commit d87d830720a1446403ed38bfc2da268be0d356d1 upstream. Previously, the ixgbe_msix_other was writing the full 32bits of the set interrupts, instead of only the ones which the ixgbe_msix_other is handling. This resulted in a loss of performance when the X540's PPS feature is enabled due to sometimes clearing queue interrupts which resulted in the driver not getting the interrupt for cleaning the q_vector rings often enough. The fix is to simply mask the lower 16bits off so that this handler does not write them in the EICR, which causes them to remain high and be properly handled by the clean_rings interrupt routine as normal.

gianfar: do not advertise any alarm capability.

2013-05-08T02:51:53Z

commit cd4baaaa04b4aaa3b0ec4d13a6f3d203b92eadbd upstream. An early draft of the PHC patch series included an alarm in the gianfar driver. During the review process, the alarm code was dropped, but the capability removal was overlooked. This patch fixes the issue by advertising zero alarms. This patch should be applied to every 3.x stable kernel. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Reported-by: Chris LaRocque Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mwifiex: Use pci_release_region() instead of a pci_release_regions()

2013-05-08T02:51:52Z

commit c380aafb77b7435d010698fe3ca6d3e1cd745fde upstream. PCI regions are associated with the device using pci_request_region() call. Hence use pci_release_region() instead of pci_release_regions().

bonding: IFF_BONDING is not stripped on enslave failure

2013-05-01T16:41:07Z

[ Upstream commit b6a5a7b9a528a8b4c8bec940b607c5dd9102b8cc ] While enslaving a new device and after IFF_BONDING flag is set, in case of failure it is not stripped from the device's priv_flags while cleaning up, which could lead to other problems. Cleaning at err_close because the flag is set after dev_open(). v2: no change Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

bonding: fix bonding_masters race condition in bond unloading

2013-05-01T16:41:06Z

[ Upstream commit 69b0216ac255f523556fa3d4ff030d857eaaa37f ] While the bonding module is unloading, it is considered that after rtnl_link_unregister all bond devices are destroyed but since no synchronization mechanism exists, a new bond device can be created via bonding_masters before unregister_pernet_subsys which would lead to multiple problems (e.g. NULL pointer dereference, wrong RIP, list corruption). This patch fixes the issue by removing any bond devices left in the netns after bonding_masters is removed from sysfs.

ssb: implement spurious tone avoidance

commit 46fc4c909339f5a84d1679045297d9d2fb596987 upstream. And make use of it in b43. This fixes a regression introduced with 49d55cef5b1925a5c1efb6aaddaa40fc7c693335 b43: N-PHY: implement spurious tone avoidance This commit made BCM4322 use only MCS 0 on channel 13, which of course resulted in performance drop (down to 0.7Mb/s).

ath9k_hw: change AR9580 initvals to fix a stability issue

2013-04-26T04:19:55Z

commit f09a878511997c25a76bf111a32f6b8345a701a5 upstream. The hardware parsing of Control Wrapper Frames needs to be disabled, as it has been causing spurious decryption error reports. The initvals for other chips have been updated to disable it, but AR9580 was left out for some reason. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
