can: usb_8dev: unregister netdev before free()ing

2013-07-03T17:55:37Z

commit 4afe2156eb639e563d6ef0c2706b66ea400348b2 upstream. The usb_8dev hardware has problems on some xhci USB hosts. The driver fails to read the firmware revision in the probe function. This leads to the following Oops: [ 3356.635912] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:5701! The driver tries to free the netdev, which has already been registered, without unregistering it. This patch fixes the problem by unregistering the netdev in the error path.

rt2800: fix RT5390 & RT3290 TX power settings regression

2013-07-03T17:55:22Z

commit 8c8d2017ba25c510ddf093419048460db1109bc4 upstream. My change: commit cee2c7315f60beeff6137ee59e99acc77d636eeb Author: Stanislaw Gruszka Date: Fri Oct 5 13:44:09 2012 +0200 rt2800: use BBP_R1 for setting tx power unfortunately does not work well with RT5390 and RT3290 chips as they require different temperature compensation TX power settings (TSSI tuning). Since that commit make wireless connection very unstable on those chips, restore previous behavior to fix regression. Once we implement proper TSSI tuning on 5390/3290 we can restore back setting TX power by BBP_R1 register for those chips.

iwlwifi: dvm: fix chain noise calibration

2013-07-03T17:55:21Z

commit b28b6dfe580ab1ab8bf08b908fd69e299b877103 upstream. First step of chain noise calibration process had disable flag check inverted. Chain noise calibration never started because of this. Tested on intel 5300 with two antennas attached. The driver correctly disabled one chain.

netback: set transport header before passing it to kernel

2013-06-27T17:39:08Z

[ Upstream commit f9ca8f74399f9195fd8e01f67a8424a8d33efa55 ] Currently, for the packets receives from netback, before doing header check, kernel just reset the transport header in netif_receive_skb() which pretends non l4 header. This is suboptimal for precise packet length estimation (introduced in 1def9238: net_sched: more precise pkt_len computation) which needs correct l4 header for gso packets. The patch just reuse the header probed by netback for partial checksum packets and tries to use skb_flow_dissect() for other cases, if both fail, just pretend no l4 header.

This is suboptimal for precise packet length estimation (introduced in 1def9238) which needs correct l4 header for gso packets. So this patch set the transport header to csum_start for partial checksum packets, otherwise it first try skb_flow_dissect(), if it fails, just reset the transport header.

tuntap: correct the return value in tun_set_iff()

[ Upstream commit e8dbad66ef56074eadb41ed5998acd2320447018 ] commit (3be8fbab tuntap: fix error return code in tun_set_iff()) breaks the creation of multiqueue tuntap since it forbids to create more than one queues for a multiqueue tuntap device. We need return 0 instead -EBUSY here since we don't want to re-initialize the device when one or more queues has been already attached. Add a comment and correct the return value to zero.
