      netxen: fix inconsistent lock state · 4be353d5
      Amit Kumar Salecha authored
      
      
      Spin lock rds_ring->lock is used in poll routine, so other users should
      use spin_lock_bh(). While posting rx buffers from netxen_nic_attach,
      rds_ring->lock is not required, so cleaning it instead of fixing it by
      spin_lock_bh().

      vlan: Match underlying dev carrier on vlan add · 0ac820ee
      Phil Oester authored
      
      
      When adding a new vlan, if the underlying interface has no carrier,
      then the newly added vlan interface should also have no carrier.
      At present, this is not true - the newly added vlan is added with
      carrier up.  Fix by checking state of real device.

      ehea: Fix synchronization between HW and SW send queue
      
      When memory is added to / removed from a partition via the Memory DLPAR
      mechanism, the eHEA driver has to do a couple of things to reflect the
      memory change in its own IO address translation tables. This involves
      stopping and restarting the HW queues.
      During this operation, it is possible that HW and SW pointer into these
      queues get out of sync. This results in a situation where packets that
      are attached to a send queue are not transmitted immediately, but
      delayed until further X packets have been put on the queue.
      
      This patch detects such loss of synchronization, and resets the ehea
      port when needed.

      bnx2x: Fix PHY locking problem · 3971a230
      Yaniv Rosner authored
      
      
      PHY locking is required between two ports for some external PHYs. Since
      initialization was done in the common init function (called only on the
      first port initialization) rather than in the port init function, there
      was in fact no PHY locking between the ports.

      netlink: fix compat recvmsg · 68d6ac6d
      Johannes Berg authored
      Since
      commit 1dacc76d
      Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
      Date:   Wed Jul 1 11:26:02 2009 +0000
      
          net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks
      
      we had a race condition when setting and then
      restoring frag_list. Eric attempted to fix it,
      but the fix created even worse problems.
      
      However, the original motivation I had when I
      added the code that turned out to be racy is
      no longer clear to me, since we only copy up
      to skb->len to userspace, which doesn't include
      the frag_list length. As a result, not doing
      any frag_list clearing and restoring avoids
      the race condition, while not introducing any
      other problems.
      
      Additionally, while preparing this patch I found
      that since none of the remaining netlink code is
      really aware of the frag_list, we need to use the
      original skb's information for packet information
      and credentials. This fixes, for example, the
      group information received by compat tasks.

      can: add limit for nframes and clean up signed/unsigned variables · 5b75c497
      Oliver Hartkopp authored
      
      
      This patch adds a limit for nframes as the number of frames in TX_SETUP and
      RX_SETUP are derived from a single byte multiplex value by default.
      Use-cases that would require to send/filter more than 256 CAN frames should
      be implemented in userspace for complexity reasons anyway.
      
      Additionally the assignments of unsigned values from userspace to signed
      values in kernelspace and vice versa are fixed by using unsigned values in
      kernelspace consistently.
