ehea: Fix a checksum issue on the receive path

2010-10-13T21:24:59Z

Currently we set all skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, even those whose protocol we don't know. This patch just add the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE tag for non TCP/UDP packets. Reported-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: allow FEC driver to use fixed PHY support

2010-10-13T16:56:31Z

At least one board using the FEC driver does not have a conventional PHY attached to it, it is directly connected to a somewhat simple ethernet switch (the board is the SnapGear/LITE, and the attached 4-port ethernet switch is a RealTek RTL8305). This switch does not present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing. So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY on the attached MII bus. After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup. Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus. This is based on the way the cpmac.c driver solved this same problem. Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tg3: restore rx_dropped accounting

2010-10-11T23:06:24Z

commit 511d22247be7 (tg3: 64 bit stats on all arches), overlooked the rx_dropped accounting. We use a full "struct rtnl_link_stats64" to hold rx_dropped value, but forgot to report it in tg3_get_stats64(). Use an "unsigned long" instead to shrink "struct tg3" by 176 bytes, and report this value to stats readers. Increment rx_dropped counter for oversized frames.

b44: fix carrier detection on bind

2010-10-11T22:45:35Z

For carrier detection to work properly when binding the driver with a cable unplugged, netif_carrier_off() should be called after register_netdev(), not before. Signed-off-by: Paul Fertser Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

NET: wimax, fix use after free

2010-10-11T18:05:43Z

Stanse found that i2400m_rx frees skb, but still uses skb->len even though it has skb_len defined. So use skb_len properly in the code. And also define it unsinged int rather than size_t to solve compilation warnings.

net/fec: carrier off initially to avoid root mount failure

2010-10-11T04:12:27Z

with hardware slow in negotiation, the system did freeze while trying to mount root on nfs at boot time. the link state has not been initialised so network stack tried to start transmission right away. this caused instant retries, as the driver solely stated business upon link down, rendering the system unusable. notify carrier off initially to prevent transmission until phylib will report link up.

r8169: use device model DMA API

2010-10-09T16:16:13Z

Use DMA API as PCI equivalents will be deprecated. This change also allow to allocate with GFP_KERNEL where possible. Tested-by: Neal Becker Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

r8169: allocate with GFP_KERNEL flag when able to sleep

2010-10-09T16:15:34Z

We have fedora bug report where driver fail to initialize after suspend/resume because of memory allocation errors: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629158 To fix use GFP_KERNEL allocation where possible.
