rtlwifi: rtl8192de: Fix firmware initialization

2012-06-01T07:15:55+00:00

commit 0298dc9f2273fb2d596ae10d7700f054bfce601d upstream.

Before the switch to asynchronous firmware loading (mainline commit b0302ab),
it was necessary to load firmware when initializing the first of the units
in a dual-mac system. After the change, it is necessary to load firmware in
both units.

rtlwifi: fix for race condition when firmware is cached

2012-06-01T07:15:54+00:00

commit 574e02abaf816b582685805f0c1150ca9f1f18ee upstream.

In commit b0302ab, the rtlwifi family of drivers was converted to use
asynchronous firmware loading. Unfortumately, the implementation was
racy, and the ieee80211 routines could be started before rtl_init_core()
was called to setup the data.

This patch fixes the bug noted in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43187.

b43legacy: Fix error due to MMIO access with SSB unpowered

2012-06-01T07:15:50+00:00

commit 8f4b20388fa77226a3605627a33a23f90d559e50 upstream.

There is a dummy read of a PCI MMIO register that occurs before the SSB bus
has been powered, which is an error. This bug has not been seen earlier,
but was apparently exposed when udev was updated to version 182.

dl2k: Clean up rio_ioctl

2012-05-21T17:46:23+00:00

commit 1bb57e940e1958e40d51f2078f50c3a96a9b2d75 upstream.

The dl2k driver's rio_ioctl call has a few issues:
- No permissions checking
- Implements SIOCGMIIREG and SIOCGMIIREG using the SIOCDEVPRIVATE numbers
- Has a few ioctls that may have been used for debugging at one point
  but have no place in the kernel proper.

This patch removes all but the MII ioctls, renumbers them to use the
standard ones, and adds the proper permission check for SIOCSMIIREG.

We can also get rid of the dl2k-specific struct mii_data in favor of
the generic struct mii_ioctl_data.

Since we have the phyid on hand, we can add the SIOCGMIIPHY ioctl too.

Most of the MII code for the driver could probably be converted to use
the generic MII library but I don't have a device to test the results.

cdc_ether: add Novatel USB551L device IDs for FLAG_WWAN

commit 4e6304b8420aba5311ba21fd68dab2924ae4d91a upstream.

Needs to be tagged with FLAG_WWAN, which since it has generic
descriptors, won't happen if we don't override the generic
driver info.

cdc_ether: Ignore bogus union descriptor for RNDIS devices

2012-05-21T17:46:19+00:00

commit 6eddcb4c82883451aec3be1240f17793370fa62f upstream.

Some RNDIS devices include a bogus CDC Union descriptor pointing
to non-existing interfaces.  The RNDIS code is already prepared
to handle devices without a CDC Union descriptor by hardwiring
the driver to use interfaces 0 and 1, which is correct for the
devices with the bogus descriptor as well. So we can reuse the
existing workaround.

usbnet: fix skb traversing races during unlink(v2)

2012-05-21T17:46:17+00:00

commit 5b6e9bcdeb65634b4ad604eb4536404bbfc62cfa upstream.

Commit 4231d47e6fe69f061f96c98c30eaf9fb4c14b96d(net/usbnet: avoid
recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking
problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may
cause skb traversing races:
	- after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released,
	the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue,
	even be released
	- in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained
	by next pointer of the last skb
	- so maybe trigger oops or other problems

This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink'
state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if
the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the
refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs.

The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch:
always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is
to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.

tg3: Avoid panic from reserved statblk field access

2012-05-12T16:32:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit f891ea1634ce41f5f47ae40d8594809f4cd2ca66 ]

When RSS is enabled, interrupt vector 0 does not receive any rx traffic.
The rx producer index fields for vector 0's status block should be
considered reserved in this case.  This patch changes the code to
respect these reserved fields, which avoids a kernel panic when these
fields take on non-zero values.

sungem: Fix WakeOnLan

2012-05-12T16:32:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5a8887d39e1ba5ee2d4ccb94b14d6f2dce5ddfca ]

WakeOnLan was broken in this driver because gp->asleep_wol is a 1-bit
bitfield and it was being assigned WAKE_MAGIC, which is (1 << 5).
gp->asleep_wol remains 0 and the machine never wakes up.  Fixed by casting
gp->wake_on_lan to bool.  Tested on an iBook G4.
