<title>macvlan: fix passthru mode race between dev removal  and rx path</title>

[ Upstream commit 233c7df0821c4190e2d3f4be0f2ca0ab40a5ed8c, note
  that I had to add list_first_or_null_rcu to rculist.h in order
  to accomodate this fix. ]

Currently, if macvlan in passthru mode is created and data are rxed and
you remove this device, following panic happens:

NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000198
IP: [&lt;ffffffffa0196058&gt;] macvlan_handle_frame+0x153/0x1f7 [macvlan]

I'm using following script to trigger this:
&lt;script&gt;
while [ 1 ]
do
	ip link add link e1 name macvtap0 type macvtap mode passthru
	ip link set e1 up
	ip link set macvtap0 up
	IFINDEX=`ip link |grep macvtap0 | cut -f 1 -d ':'`
	cat /dev/tap$IFINDEX  &gt;/dev/null &amp;
	ip link del dev macvtap0
done
&lt;/script&gt;

I run this script while "ping -f" is running on another machine to send
packets to e1 rx.

Reason of the panic is that list_first_entry() is blindly called in
macvlan_handle_frame() even if the list was empty. vlan is set to
incorrect pointer which leads to the crash.

I'm fixing this by protecting port-&gt;vlans list by rcu and by preventing
from getting incorrect pointer in case the list is empty.

[ Upstream commit 4b264a1676e70dc656ba53a8cac690f2d4b65f4e ]

The driver wrongly claimed I/O ports at an address returned by pci_iomap() --
even if it was passed an MMIO address.  Fix this by claiming/releasing all PCI
resources in the PCI driver's probe()/remove() methods instead and get rid of
'must_free_region' flag weirdness (why would Cardbus claim anything for us?).

[ Upstream commit c81400be716aa4c76f6ebf339ba94358dbbf6da6 ]

When unloading the driver that drives an EISA board, a message similar to the
following one is displayed:

Trying to free nonexistent resource &lt;0000000000013000-000000000001301f&gt;

Then an user is unable to reload the driver because the resource it requested in
the previous load hasn't been freed. This happens most probably due to a typo in
vortex_eisa_remove() which calls release_region() with 'dev-&gt;base_addr'  instead
of 'edev-&gt;base_addr'...

[ Upstream commit 3b54912f9cd167641b91d4a697bd742f70e534fe ]

The venerable 3c509 driver only sets its device parent in one case, the ISAPnP one.
It does this with the SET_NETDEV_DEV function. It should register with the device
hierarchy in two additional cases: standard (non-PnP) ISA and EISA.

- Currently they appear here:
/sys/devices/virtual/net/eth0 (standard ISA)
/sys/devices/virtual/net/eth1 (EISA)

- Rather, they should instead be here:
/sys/devices/isa/3c509.0/net/eth0 (standard ISA)
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.0/00:04/net/eth1 (EISA)

Tested on ISA and EISA boards.

On the 5718, 5719 and 5720 serdes devices, powering down function 0
results in all the other ports being powered down. Add code to skip
function 0 power down.

 - Modify tg3_phy_power_bug() function to use a switch instead of a
   complicated if statement. Suggested by Joe Perches.

commit ccd384b10420ac81ba3fb9b0a7d18272c7173552 upstream.

A small bug in this code was causing the ALLMULTI filter to be set
when in fact we were just wanting to program a selective multicast list
to the hardware.

Fix that bug and remove a redundant if condition in the code that
follows.

This fixes wakeup behaviour when multicast WOL is enabled. Previously,
all multicast packets would wake up the system. Now, only those that the
host intended to receive trigger wakeups.

After unregister_netdevice() call the request is queued and
reg_state is changed to NETREG_UNREGISTERING.
As we check for NETREG_UNREGISTERED state, free_netdev() never
gets executed causing memory leak.

Initialize "dev-&gt;destructor" to free_netdev() to free device
data after unregistration.

<title>mwifiex: clear is_suspended flag when interrupt is received early</title>

commit 48795424acff7215d5eac0b52793a2c1eb3a6283 upstream.

When the XO-4 with 8787 wireless is woken up due to wake-on-WLAN
mwifiex is often flooded with "not allowed while suspended" messages
and the interface is unusable.

[  202.171609] int: sdio_ireg = 0x1
[  202.180700] info: mwifiex_process_hs_config: auto cancelling host
               sleep since there is interrupt from the firmware
[  202.201880] event: wakeup device...
[  202.211452] event: hs_deactivated
[  202.514638] info: --- Rx: Data packet ---
[  202.514753] data: 4294957544 BSS(0-0): Data &lt;= kernel
[  202.514825] PREP_CMD: device in suspended state
[  202.514839] data: dequeuing the packet ec7248c0 ec4869c0
[  202.514886] mwifiex_write_data_sync: not allowed while suspended
[  202.514886] host_to_card, write iomem (1) failed: -1
[  202.514917] mwifiex_write_data_sync: not allowed while suspended
[  202.514936] host_to_card, write iomem (2) failed: -1
[  202.514949] mwifiex_write_data_sync: not allowed while suspended
[  202.514965] host_to_card, write iomem (3) failed: -1
[  202.514976] mwifiex_write_data_async failed: 0xFFFFFFFF

This can be readily reproduced when putting the XO-4 in a loop where
it goes to sleep due to inactivity, but then wakes up due to an
incoming ping. The error is hit within an hour or two.

This issue happens when an interrupt comes in early while host sleep
is still activated. Driver handles this case by auto cancelling host
sleep. However is_suspended flag is still set which prevents any cmd
or data from being sent to firmware. Fix it by clearing is_suspended
flag in this path.

This can be readily reproduced when putting the XO-4 in a loop where
it goes to sleep due to inactivity, but then wakes up due to an
incoming ping. The error is hit within an hour or two.

This issue happens when an interrupt comes in early while host sleep
is still activated. Driver handles this case by auto cancelling host
sleep. However is_suspended flag is still set which prevents any cmd
or data from being sent to firmware. Fix it by clearing is_suspended
flag in this path.

commit 73b82bf0bfbf58e6ff328d3726934370585f6e78 upstream.

Add handling of rx descriptor underflow. This fixes a fault that could
happen on slow machines, where data is received faster than the CPU can
handle. In such a case the device will use up all rx descriptors and
refuse to send any more data before confirming that it is ok. This
patch enables necessary interrupt to discover such a situation and will
handle them by dropping everything in the ring buffer.

commit 13f85203e1060da83d9ec1c1c5a63343eaab8de4 upstream.

Some ancient pHyp versions used to create a 8 bytes local-mac-address
property in the device-tree instead of a 6 bytes one for veth.

The Linux driver code to deal with that is an insane hack which also
happens to break with some choices of MAC addresses in qemu by testing
for a bit in the address rather than just looking at the size of the
property.

Sanitize this by doing the latter instead.
