xen: netback: read hotplug script once at start of day.

2015-06-19T03:40:35+00:00

commit 31a418986a5852034d520a5bab546821ff1ccf3d upstream.

When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the
uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been
removed (details below).

In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug
script and will write a xenstore error node.

A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now
sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before).

Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it
for the lifetime of the backend device.

The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to
state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work
because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in
reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being
already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing
down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to
arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing)
such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is
fragile and prone to anger...

A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver
domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it
will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence
wrt xenstore changes.

net: ethernet: pcnet32: Setup the SRAM and NOUFLO on Am79C97{3, 5}

2015-06-19T03:40:28+00:00

commit 87f966d97b89774162df04d2106c6350c8fe4cb3 upstream.

On a MIPS Malta board, tons of fifo underflow errors have been observed
when using u-boot as bootloader instead of YAMON. The reason for that
is that YAMON used to set the pcnet device to SRAM mode but u-boot does
not. As a result, the default Tx threshold (64 bytes) is now too small to
keep the fifo relatively used and it can result to Tx fifo underflow errors.
As a result of which, it's best to setup the SRAM on supported controllers
so we can always use the NOUFLO bit.

can: add missing initialisations in CAN related skbuffs

2015-06-19T03:40:23+00:00

commit 969439016d2cf61fef53a973d7e6d2061c3793b1 upstream.

When accessing CAN network interfaces with AF_PACKET sockets e.g. by dhclient
this can lead to a skb_under_panic due to missing skb initialisations.

Add the missing initialisations at the CAN skbuff creation times on driver
level (rx path) and in the network layer (tx path).

bnx2x: Force fundamental reset for EEH recovery

2015-06-19T03:40:23+00:00

commit da293700568ed3d96fcf062ac15d7d7c41377f11 upstream.

EEH recovery for bnx2x based adapters is not reliable on all Power
systems using the default hot reset, which can result in an
unrecoverable EEH error. Forcing the use of fundamental reset
during EEH recovery fixes this.

team: fix possible null pointer dereference in team_handle_frame

2015-06-19T03:40:18+00:00

commit 57e595631904c827cfa1a0f7bbd7cc9a49da5745 upstream.

Currently following race is possible in team:

CPU0                                        CPU1
                                            team_port_del
                                              team_upper_dev_unlink
                                                priv_flags &= ~IFF_TEAM_PORT
team_handle_frame
  team_port_get_rcu
    team_port_exists
      priv_flags & IFF_TEAM_PORT == 0
    return NULL (instead of port got
                 from rx_handler_data)
                                              netdev_rx_handler_unregister

The thing is that the flag is removed before rx_handler is unregistered.
If team_handle_frame is called in between, team_port_exists returns 0
and team_port_get_rcu will return NULL.
So do not check the flag here. It is guaranteed by netdev_rx_handler_unregister
that team_handle_frame will always see valid rx_handler_data pointer.

ath5k: fix spontaneus AR5312 freezes

2015-06-19T03:40:14+00:00

commit 8bfae4f9938b6c1f033a5159febe97e441d6d526 upstream.

Sometimes while CPU have some load and ath5k doing the wireless
interface reset the whole WiSoC completely freezes. Set of tests shows
that using atomic delay function while we wait interface reset helps to
avoid such freezes.

The easiest way to reproduce this issue: create a station interface,
start continous scan with wpa_supplicant and load CPU by something. Or
just create multiple station interfaces and put them all in continous
scan.

This patch partially reverts the commit 1846ac3dbec0 ("ath5k: Use
usleep_range where possible"), which replaces initial udelay()
by usleep_range().

I do not know actual source of this issue, but all looks like that HW
freeze is caused by transaction on internal SoC bus, while wireless
block is in reset state.

Also I should note that I do not know how many chips are affected, but I
did not see this issue with chips, other than AR5312.

can: dev: fix crtlmode_supported check

2015-04-14T09:33:53+00:00

commit 9b1087aa5e86448fe6ad40a58964e35f3ba423d5 upstream.

When changing flags in the CAN drivers ctrlmode the provided new content has to
be checked whether the bits are allowed to be changed. The bits that are to be
changed are given as a bitfield in cm->mask. Therefore checking against
cm->flags is wrong as the content can hold any kind of values.

The iproute2 tool sets the bits in cm->mask and cm->flags depending on the
detected command line options. To be robust against bogus user space
applications additionally sanitize the provided flags with the provided mask.

set to run, when any failure occurs during the initialization steps.
It also adds the missing unregistration call of the can device if the
failure appears after having been registered.

can: peak_usb: fix memset() usage

commit dc50ddcd4c58a5a0226038307d6ef884bec9f8c2 upstream.

This patchs fixes a misplaced call to memset() that fills the request
buffer with 0. The problem was with sending PCAN_USBPRO_REQ_FCT
requests, the content set by the caller was thus lost.

With this patch, the memory area is zeroed only when requesting info
from the device.

queue_info->tqi_subtype already contains the correct index, so use it
