drivercore: revert addition of of_match to struct device

2011-05-18T18:32:23Z

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get overwritten. This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to call of_match_device() directly instead. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

vmxnet3: Fix inconsistent LRO state after initialization

2011-05-16T19:05:23Z

During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO gets out of sync with netdev->features. This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding setup and is hitting many VMware users. Simplified call sequence: 1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true. 2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled, so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features. 3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though netdev->features shows it's disabled. Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too. The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal in net-next, see commit a0d2730c9571aeba793cb5d3009094ee1d8fda35 "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features". Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6. Please CC: comments. Signed-off-by: Thomas Jarosch Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Fix oops in register dump after mapping change

2011-05-16T19:05:23Z

Commit 747df2258b1b9a2e25929ef496262c339c380009 ('sfc: Always map MCDI shared memory as uncacheable') introduced a separate mapping for the MCDI shared memory (MC_TREG_SMEM). This means we can no longer easily include it in the register dump. Since it is not particularly useful in debugging, substitute a recognisable dummy value.

bonding,llc: Fix structure sizeof incompatibility for some PDUs

2011-05-13T19:13:24Z

With some combinations of arch/compiler (e.g. arm-linux-gcc) the sizeof operator on structure returns value greater than expected. In cases when the structure is used for mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results (such as holes and alignment problems in skb data). __packed prevents this undesired behavior.

ne-h8300: Fix regression caused during net_device_ops conversion

2011-05-12T20:59:57Z

Changeset dcd39c90290297f6e6ed8a04bb20da7ac2b043c5 ("ne-h8300: convert to net_device_ops") broke ne-h8300 by adding 8390.o to the link. That meant that lib8390.c was included twice, once in ne-h8300.c and once in 8390.c, subject to different macros. This patch reverts that by avoiding the wrappers in 8390.c. Fix based on commits 217cbfa856dc1cbc2890781626c4032d9e3ec59f ("mac8390: fix regression caused during net_device_ops conversion") and 4e0168fa4842e27795a75b205a510f25b62181d9 ("mac8390: fix build with NET_POLL_CONTROLLER").
