Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Provide device string properly for USB i2400m wimax devices, also don't OOPS when providing firmware string. From Phil Sutter. 2) Add support for sh_eth SH7734 chips, from Nobuhiro Iwamatsu. 3) Add another device ID to USB zaurus driver, from Guan Xin. 4) Loop index start in pool vector iterator is wrong causing MAC to not get configured in bnx2x driver, fix from Dmitry Kravkov. 5) EQL driver assumes HZ=100, fix from Eric Dumazet. 6) Now that skb_add_rx_frag() can specify the truesize increment separately, do so in f_phonet and cdc_phonet, also from Eric Dumazet. 7) virtio_net accidently uses net_ratelimit() not only on the kernel warning but also the statistic bump, fix from Rick Jones. 8) ip_route_input_mc() uses fixed init_net namespace, oops, use dev_net(dev) instead. Fix from Benjamin LaHaise. 9) dev_forward_skb() needs to clear the incoming interface index of the SKB so that it looks like a new incoming packet, also from Benjamin LaHaise. 10) iwlwifi mistakenly initializes a channel entry as 2GHZ instead of 5GHZ, fix from Stanislav Yakovlev. 11) Missing kmalloc() return value checks in orinoco, from Santosh Nayak. 12) ath9k doesn't check for HT capabilities in the right way, it is checking ht_supported instead of the ATH9K_HW_CAP_HT flag. Fix from Sujith Manoharan. 13) Fix x86 BPF JIT emission of 16-bit immediate field of AND instructions, from Feiran Zhuang. 14) Avoid infinite loop in GARP code when registering sysfs entries. From David Ward. 15) rose protocol uses memcpy instead of memcmp in a device address comparison, oops. Fix from Daniel Borkmann. 16) Fix build of lpc_eth due to dev_hw_addr_rancom() interface being renamed to eth_hw_addr_random(). From Roland Stigge. 17) Make ipv6 RTM_GETROUTE interpret RTA_IIF attribute the same way that ipv4 does. Fix from Shmulik Ladkani. 18) via-rhine has an inverted bit test, causing suspend/resume regressions. Fix from Andreas Mohr. 19) RIONET assumes 4K page size, fix from Akinobu Mita. 20) Initialization of imask register in sky2 is buggy, because bits are "or'd" into an uninitialized local variable. Fix from Lino Sanfilippo. 21) Fix FCOE checksum offload handling, from Yi Zou. 22) Fix VLAN processing regression in e1000, from Jiri Pirko. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (52 commits) sky2: dont overwrite settings for PHY Quick link tg3: Fix 5717 serdes powerdown problem net: usb: cdc_eem: fix mtu net: sh_eth: fix endian check for architecture independent usb/rtl8150 : Remove duplicated definitions rionet: fix page allocation order of rionet_active via-rhine: fix wait-bit inversion. ipv6: Fix RTM_GETROUTE's interpretation of RTA_IIF to be consistent with ipv4 net: lpc_eth: Fix rename of dev_hw_addr_random net/netfilter/nfnetlink_acct.c: use linux/atomic.h rose_dev: fix memcpy-bug in rose_set_mac_address Fix non TBI PHY access; a bad merge undid bug fix in a previous commit. net/garp: avoid infinite loop if attribute already exists x86 bpf_jit: fix a bug in emitting the 16-bit immediate operand of AND bonding: emit event when bonding changes MAC mac80211: fix oper channel timestamp updation ath9k: Use HW HT capabilites properly MAINTAINERS: adding maintainer for ipw2x00 net: orinoco: add error handling for failed kmalloc(). net/wireless: ipw2x00: fix a typo in wiphy struct initilization ...

net/garp: avoid infinite loop if attribute already exists

2012-04-01T20:47:11Z

An infinite loop occurred if garp_attr_create was called with the values of an existing attribute. This might happen if a previous leave request for the attribute has not yet been followed by a PDU transmission (or, if the application previously issued a join request for the attribute and is now issuing another one, without having issued a leave request). If garp_attr_create finds an existing attribute having the same values, return the address to it. Its state will then get updated (i.e., if it was in a leaving state, it will move into a non-leaving state and not get deleted during the next PDU transmission). To accomplish this fix, collapse garp_attr_insert into garp_attr_create (which is its only caller). Thanks to Jorge Boncompte [DTI2] for contributing to this fix.

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h preparatory to splitting and killing it. Performed with the following command: perl -p -i -e 's!^#\s*include\s*.*\n!!' `grep -Irl '^#\s*include\s*' *` Signed-off-by: David Howells

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30Z

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

net: Fix files explicitly needing to include module.h

2011-10-31T23:30:28Z

With calls to modular infrastructure, these files really needs the full module.h header. Call it out so some of the cleanups of implicit and unrequired includes elsewhere can be cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER

2011-08-02T11:29:23Z

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon change to not handle the special case. Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value. //smpl @@ expression P; @@ - rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL) + RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL) // Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Paul E.

garp: use kfree_rcu()

garp: remove last synchronize_rcu() call

2011-05-12T21:46:56Z

When removing last vlan from a device, garp_uninit_applicant() calls synchronize_rcu() to make sure no user can still manipulate struct garp_applicant before we free it. Use call_rcu() instead, as a step to further net_device dismantle optimizations. Add the temporary garp_cleanup_module() function to make sure no pending call_rcu() are left at module unload time [ this will be removed when kfree_rcu() is available ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
