      Revert "drivers/net/phy/mdio-bitbang.c: Call mdiobus_unregister before mdiobus_free" · 80d11788
      David S. Miller authored
      This reverts commit aa731872
      
      .
      
      As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, this change is not correct.
      
      mdiobus_unregister() can't be called if the bus isn't registered yet,
      however this change can result in situations which cause that to
      happen.
      
      Part of the confusion here revolves around the fact that the
      callers of this module control registration/unregistration,
      rather than the module itself.

      net/smsc911x: Fix ready check in cases where WORD_SWAP is needed · 769ce4c9
      Kamlakant Patel authored
      The chip ready check added by the commit 3ac3546e
      
       [Always wait for
      the chip to be ready] does not work when the register read/write
      is word swapped. This check has been added before the WORD_SWAP
      register is programmed, so we need to check for swapped register
      value as well.
      
      Bit 16 is marked as RESERVED in SMSC datasheet, Steve Glendinning
      <steve@shawell.net> checked with SMSC and wrote:
      
        The chip architects have concluded we should be reading PMT_CTRL
        until we see any of bits 0, 8, 16 or 24 set.  Then we should read
        BYTE_TEST to check the byte order is correct (as we already do).
      
        The rationale behind this is that some of the chip variants have
        word order swapping features too, so the READY bit could actually
        be in any of the 4 possible locations.  The architects have confirmed
        that if any of these 4 positions is set the chip is ready.  The other
        3 locations will either never be set or can only go high after READY
        does (so also indicate the device is ready).
      
      This change will check for the READY bit at the 16th position. We do
      not check the other two cases (bit 8 and 24) since the driver does not
      support byte-swapped register read/write.

      drivers/net: fix tasklet misuse issue · 71c6c837
      Xiaotian Feng authored
      In commit 175c0dff
      
      , drivers uses tasklet_kill to avoid put disabled tasklet
      on the tasklet vec. But some of the drivers uses tasklet_init & tasklet_disable
      in the driver init code, then tasklet_enable when it is opened. This makes
      tasklet_enable on a killed tasklet and make ksoftirqd crazy then. Normally,
      drivers should use tasklet_init/tasklet_kill on device open/remove, and use
      tasklet_disable/tasklet_enable on device suspend/resume.

      ipv4/ip_vti.c: VTI fix post-decryption forwarding · b2942004
      Saurabh Mohan authored
      
      
      With the latest kernel there are two things that must be done post decryption
       so that the packet are forwarded.
       1. Remove the mark from the packet. This will cause the packet to not match
       the ipsec-policy again. However doing this causes the post-decryption check to
       fail also and the packet will get dropped. (cat /proc/net/xfrm_stat).
       2. Remove the sp association in the skbuff so that no policy check is done on
       the packet for VTI tunnels.
      
      Due to #2 above we must now do a security-policy check in the vti rcv path
      prior to resetting the mark in the skbuff.

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
       "Bug fixes galore, mostly in drivers as is often the case:
      
        1) USB gadget and cdc_eem drivers need adjustments to their frame size
           lengths in order to handle VLANs correctly.  From Ian Coolidge.
      
        2) TIPC and several network drivers erroneously call tasklet_disable
           before tasklet_kill, fix from Xiaotian Feng.
      
        3) r8169 driver needs to apply the WOL suspend quirk to more chipsets,
           fix from Cyril Brulebois.
      
        4) Fix multicast filters on RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_35 r8169 chips, from
           Nathan Walp.
      
        5) FDB netlink dumps should use RTM_NEWNEIGH as the message type, not
           zero.  From John Fastabend.
      
        6) Fix smsc95xx tx checksum offload on big-endian, from Steve
           Glendinning.
      
        7) __inet_diag_dump() needs to repsect and report the error value
           returned from inet_diag_lock_handler() rather than ignore it.
           Otherwise if an inet diag handler is not available for a particular
           protocol, we essentially report success instead of giving an error
           indication.  Fix from Cyrill Gorcunov.
      
        8) When the QFQ packet scheduler sees TSO/GSO packets it does not
           handle things properly, and in fact ends up corrupting it's
           datastructures as well as mis-schedule packets.  Fix from Paolo
           Valente.
      
        9) Fix oopser in skb_loop_sk(), from Eric Leblond.
      
        10) CXGB4 passes partially uninitialized datastructures in to FW
            commands, fix from Vipul Pandya.
      
        11) When we send unsolicited ipv6 neighbour advertisements, we should
            send them to the link-local allnodes multicast address, as per
            RFC4861.  Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa.
      
        12) There is some kind of bug in the usbnet's kevent deferral
            mechanism, but more immediately when it triggers an uncontrolled
            stream of kernel messages spam the log.  Rate limit the error log
            message triggered when this problem occurs, as sending thousands
            of error messages into the kernel log doesn't help matters at all,
            and in fact makes further diagnosis more difficult.
      
            From Steve Glendinning.
      
        13) Fix gianfar restore from hibernation, from Wang Dongsheng.
      
        14) The netlink message attribute sizes are wrong in the ipv6 GRE
            driver, it was using the size of ipv4 addresses instead of ipv6
            ones :-) Fix from Nicolas Dichtel."

      Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
       "Several build/bug fixes for sparc, including:
      
        1) Configuring a mix of static vs.  modular sparc64 crypto modules
           didn't work, remove an ill-conceived attempt to only have to build
           the device match table for these drivers once to fix the problem.
      
           Reported by Meelis Roos.
      
        2) Make the montgomery multiple/square and mpmul instructions actually
           usable in 32-bit tasks.  Essentially this involves providing 32-bit
           userspace with a way to use a 64-bit stack when it needs to.
      
        3) Our sparc64 atomic backoffs don't yield cpu strands properly on
           Niagara chips.  Use pause instruction when available to achieve
           this, otherwise use a benign instruction we know blocks the strand
           for some time.
      
        4) Wire up kcmp
      
        5) Fix the build of various drivers by removing the unnecessary
           blocking of OF_GPIO when SPARC.
      
        6) Fix unintended regression wherein of_address_to_resource stopped
           being provided.  Fix from Andreas Larsson.
