r8152: remove clearing bp

2014-10-01T20:46:34Z

The xxx_clear_bp() is used to halt the firmware. It only necessary for updating the new firmware. Besides, depend on the version of the current firmware, it may have problem to halt the firmware directly. Finally, halt the firmware would let the firmware code useless, and the bugs which are fixed by the firmware would occur. Signed-off-by: Hayes Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bnx2: Correctly receive full sized 802.1ad fragmes

2014-10-01T20:43:45Z

This driver, similar to tg3, has a check that will cause full sized 802.1ad frames to be dropped. The frame will be larger then the standard mtu due to the presense of vlan header that has not been stripped. The driver should not drop this frame and should process it just like it does for 802.1q.

tg3: Allow for recieve of full-size 8021AD frames

2014-10-01T20:43:45Z

When receiving a vlan-tagged frame that still contains a vlan header, the length of the packet will be greater then MTU+ETH_HLEN since it will account of the extra vlan header. TG3 checks this for the case for 802.1Q, but not for 802.1ad. As a result, full sized 802.1ad frames get dropped by the card. Add a check for 802.1ad protocol when receving full sized frames.

r8152: fix setting RTL8152_UNPLUG

2014-09-30T20:23:51Z

The flag of RTL8152_UNPLUG should only be set when the device is unplugged, not each time the rtl8152_disconnect() is called. Otherwise, the device wouldn't be stopped normally. Signed-off-by: Hayes Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netxen: Fix bug in Tx completion path.

2014-09-30T20:22:44Z

o Driver is not updating sw_consumer while processing Tx completion when interface is going down. Due to this interface down path gets stuck forever waiting for NAPI to complete. Signed-off-by: Manish Chopra Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netxen: Fix BUG "sleeping function called from invalid context"

2014-09-30T20:22:43Z

o __netxen_nic_down() function might sleep while holding spinlock_t(tx_clean_lock). Acquire this lock for only releasing TX buffers instead of taking it for whole down path. Reported-by: Mike Galbraith Signed-off-by: Manish Chopra Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

hyperv: Fix a bug in netvsc_start_xmit()

2014-09-30T05:21:03Z

After the packet is successfully sent, we should not touch the skb as it may have been freed. This patch is based on the work done by Long Li . In this version of the patch I have fixed issues pointed out by David. David, please queue this up for stable. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

net: stmmac: fix stmmac_pci_probe failed when CONFIG_HAVE_CLK is selected

When the CONFIG_HAVE_CLK is selected for the system, the stmmac_pci_probe will fail with dmesg: [ 2.167225] stmmaceth 0000:00:14.6: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 2.178267] stmmaceth 0000:00:14.6: enabling bus mastering [ 2.178436] stmmaceth 0000:00:14.6: irq 24 for MSI/MSI-X [ 2.178703] stmmaceth 0000:00:14.6: stmmac_dvr_probe: warning: cannot get CSR clock [ 2.186503] stmmac_pci_probe: main driver probe failed [ 2.194003] stmmaceth 0000:00:14.6: disabling bus mastering [ 2.196473] stmmaceth: probe of 0000:00:14.6 failed with error -2 This patch fix the issue by breaking the dependency to devm_clk_get() as the CSR clock can be obtained at priv->plat->clk_csr from pci driver.

net/mlx4_core: Allow not to specify probe_vf in SRIOV IB mode

2014-09-26T20:43:23Z

When the HCA is configured in SRIOV IB mode (that is, at least one of the ports is IB) and the probe_vf module param isn't specified, mlx4_init_one() failed because of the following condition: if (ib_ports && (num_vfs_argc > 1 || probe_vfs_argc > 1)) { ..... } The root cause for that is a mistake in the initialization of num_vfs_argc and probe_vfs_argc. When num_vfs / probe_vf aren't given, their argument count counterpart should be 0, fix that.
