usbnet: do not pretend to support SG/TSO

2013-08-11T22:38:23Z

[ Upstream commit 20f0170377264e8449b6987041f0bcc4d746d3ed ] usbnet doesn't support yet SG, so drivers should not advertise SG or TSO capabilities, as they allow TCP stack to build large TSO packets that need to be linearized and might use order-5 pages. This adds an extra copy overhead and possible allocation failures. Current code ignore skb_linearize() return code so crashes are even possible. Best is to not pretend SG/TSO is supported, and add this again when/if usbnet really supports SG for devices who could get a performance gain.

arcnet: cleanup sizeof parameter

2013-08-11T22:38:22Z

[ Upstream commit 087d273caf4f7d3f2159256f255f1f432bc84a5b ] This patch doesn't change the compiled code because ARC_HDR_SIZE is 4 and sizeof(int) is 4, but the intent was to use the header size and not the sizeof the header size.

ACPI / battery: Fix parsing _BIX return value

2013-08-11T22:38:22Z

commit 016d5baad04269e8559332df05f89bd95b52d6ad upstream. The _BIX method returns extended battery info as a package. According the ACPI spec (ACPI 5, Section 10.2.2.2), the first member of that package should be "Revision". However, the current ACPI battery driver treats the first member as "Power Unit" which should be the second member. This causes the result of _BIX return data parsing to be incorrect. Fix this by adding a new member called 'revision' to struct acpi_battery and adding the offsetof() information on it to extended_info_offsets[] as the first row.

mwifiex: Add missing endian conversion.

commit 83e612f632c3897be29ef02e0472f6d63e258378 upstream. Both type and pkt_len variables are in host endian and these should be in Little Endian in the payload. Signed-off-by: Tomasz Moń Acked-by: Bing Zhao Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

rt2x00: fix stop queue

2013-08-11T22:38:22Z

commit e2288b66fe7ff0288382b2af671b4da558b44472 upstream. Since we clear QUEUE_STARTED in rt2x00queue_stop_queue(), following call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() reduce to noop, i.e we do not stop queue in mac80211. To fix that introduce rt2x00queue_pause_queue_nocheck() function, which will stop queue in mac80211 directly. Note that rt2x00_start_queue() explicitly set QUEUE_PAUSED bit. Note also that reordering operations i.e. first call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and then clear QUEUE_STARTED bit, will race with rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(), so calling ieee80211_stop_queue() directly is the only available solution to fix the problem without major rework.

ath9k_htc: do some initial hardware configuration

2013-08-11T22:38:22Z

commit dc2a87f519a4d8cb376ab54f22b6b98a943b51ce upstream. Currently we configure harwdare and clock, only after interface start. In this case, if we reload module or reboot PC without configuring adapter, firmware will freeze. There is no software way to reset adpter. This patch add initial configuration and set it in disabled state, to avoid this freeze. Behaviour of this patch should be similar to: ifconfig wlan0 up; ifconfig wlan0 down.

serial/mxs-auart: increase time to wait for transmitter to become idle

2013-08-11T22:38:22Z

commit 079a036f4283e2b0e5c26080b8c5112bc0cc1831 upstream. Without this patch the driver waits ~1 ms for the UART to become idle. At 115200n8 this time is (theoretically) enough to transfer 11.5 characters (= 115200 bits/s / (10 Bits/char) * 1ms). As the mxs-auart has a fifo size of 16 characters the clock is gated too early. The problem is worse for lower baud rates. This only happens to really shut down the transmitter in the middle of a transfer if /dev/ttyAPPx isn't opened in userspace (e.g. by a getty) but was at least once (because the bootloader doesn't disable the transmitter). So increase the timeout to 20 ms which should be enough for 9600n8, too. Moreover skip gating the clock if the timeout is elapsed. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial/mxs-auart: fix race condition in interrupt handler

2013-08-11T22:38:21Z

commit d970d7fe65adff5efe75b4a73c4ffc9be57089f7 upstream. The handler needs to ack the pending events before actually handling them. Otherwise a new event might come in after it it considered non-pending or handled and is acked then without being handled. So this event is only noticed when the next interrupt happens. Without this patch an i.MX28 based machine running an rt-patched kernel regularly hangs during boot. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing

2013-08-04T07:43:40Z

commit cbdadbbf0c790f79350a8f36029208944c5487d0 upstream virtio net called virtqueue_enable_cq on RX path after napi_complete, so with NAPI_STATE_SCHED clear - outside the implicit napi lock. This violates the requirement to synchronize virtqueue_enable_cq wrt virtqueue_add_buf. In particular, used event can move backwards, causing us to lose interrupts. In a debug build, this can trigger panic within START_USE. Jason Wang reports that he can trigger the races artificially, by adding udelay() in virtqueue_enable_cb() after virtio_mb(). However, we must call napi_complete to clear NAPI_STATE_SCHED before polling the virtqueue for used buffers, otherwise napi_schedule_prep in a callback will fail, causing us to lose RX events. To fix, call virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare with NAPI_STATE_SCHED set (under napi lock), later call virtqueue_poll with NAPI_STATE_SCHED clear (outside the lock).
