net: smsc911x: back out silently on probe deferrals

2016-12-10T04:05:16Z

When trying to get a regulator we may get deferred and we see this noise: smsc911x 1b800000.ethernet-ebi2 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): couldn't get regulators -517 Then the driver continues anyway. Which means that the regulator may not be properly retrieved and reference counted, and may be switched off in case noone else is using it. Fix this by returning silently on deferred probe and let the system work it out. Cc: Jeremy Linton Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ibmveth: set correct gso_size and gso_type

2016-12-10T03:47:22Z

This patch is based on an earlier one submitted by Jon Maxwell with the following commit message: "We recently encountered a bug where a few customers using ibmveth on the same LPAR hit an issue where a TCP session hung when large receive was enabled. Closer analysis revealed that the session was stuck because the one side was advertising a zero window repeatedly. We narrowed this down to the fact the ibmveth driver did not set gso_size which is translated by TCP into the MSS later up the stack. The MSS is used to calculate the TCP window size and as that was abnormally large, it was calculating a zero window, even although the sockets receive buffer was completely empty." We rely on the Virtual I/O Server partition in a pseries environment to provide the MSS through the TCP header checksum field. The stipulation is that users should not disable checksum offloading if rx packet aggregation is enabled through VIOS. Some firmware offerings provide the MSS in the RX buffer. This is signalled by a bit in the RX queue descriptor.

net: ethernet: cpmac: Call SET_NETDEV_DEV()

2016-12-09T02:26:58Z

The TI CPMAC driver calls into PHYLIB which now checks for net_device->dev.parent, so make sure we do set it before calling into any MDIO/PHYLIB related function.

NET: usb: cdc_mbim: add quirk for supporting Telit LE922A

2016-12-08T18:02:25Z

Telit LE922A MBIM based composition does not work properly with altsetting toggle done in cdc_ncm_bind_common. This patch adds CDC_MBIM_FLAG_AVOID_ALTSETTING_TOGGLE quirk to avoid this procedure that, instead, is mandatory for other modems.

can: peak: fix bad memory access and free sequence

2016-12-08T14:59:52Z

Fix for bad memory access while disconnecting. netdev is freed before private data free, and dev is accessed after freeing netdev. This makes a slub problem, and it raise kernel oops with slub debugger config. Signed-off-by: Jiho Chu Cc: linux-stable Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde
