Commit 4a94445c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path) added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, in case timeout is fired. When a frame is defragmented, we use last skb dst field when building final skb. Its dst is valid, since we are in rcu read section. But if a timeout occurs, we take first queued fragment to build one ICMP TIME EXCEEDED message. Problem is all queued skb have weak dst pointers, since we escaped RCU critical section after their queueing. icmp_send() might dereference a now freed (and possibly reused) part of memory. Calling skb_dst_drop() and ip_route_input_noref() to revalidate route is the only possible choice. Reported-by:

tg3 is supposed to enable WoL by default on adapters which support that, but it fails to do so unless the adapter's /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup file contains 'enabled' during the initialization of the adapter. Fix that by making tg3 use device_set_wakeup_enable() to enable wakeup automatically whenever WoL should be enabled by default. Signed-off-by:

In the buggy seqpacket case we were allowing unconnected sockets to call recvmsg and try to receive the pseudo packet. That is always wrong and as of commit 7361c36c the pseudo packet had become enough different from a normal packet that the kernel started oopsing.

Noting that this error occured on a serdes based device, we noted that there were a few ethtool operations (most notably self_test and set_phys_id) that have execution paths that lead into bnx2_setup_serdes_phy. This function is notable because it executes a mod_timer call, which starts the bp->timer running. Currently bnx2 is setup to assume that this timer only nees to be stopped when bnx2_close or bnx2_suspend is called. Since the above ethtool operations are not gated on the net device having been opened however, that assumption is incorrect, and can lead to the timer still running after the module has been removed, leading to the oops above (as well as other simmilar oopses). Fix the problem by ensuring that the timer is stopped when pci_device_unregister is called. Signed-off-by:

On replay initialization, we compute the size of the replay buffer to see if the replay window fits into the buffer. This computation lacks a mutliplication by 8 because we need the size in bit, not in byte. So we might return an error even though the replay window would fit into the buffer.

The default maximum transmit length for NCM USB frames should be so that a short packet happens at the end if the device supports a length greater than the defined maximum. This is achieved by adding 4 bytes to the maximum length so that the existing logic can fit a short packet there. Signed-off-by:

The firmware is cached during the first successfull call to open() and released once the network device is unregistered. The driver uses the cached firmware between open() and unregister_netdev(). So far the firmware is optional : a failure to load the firmware does not prevent open() to success. It is thus necessary to 1) unregister all 816x / 810[23] devices and 2) force a driver probe to issue a new firmware load. Signed-off-by:

A deadlock was reported to me recently that occured when netconsole was being used in a virtual guest. If the virtio_net driver was removed while netconsole was setup to use an interface that was driven by that driver, the guest deadlocked. No backtrace was provided because netconsole was the only console configured, but it became clear pretty quickly what the problem was. In netconsole_netdev_event, if we get an unregister event, we call __netpoll_cleanup with the target_list_lock held and irqs disabled. __netpoll_cleanup can, if pending netpoll packets are waiting call cancel_delayed_work_sync, which is a sleeping path. the might_sleep call in that path gets triggered, causing a console warning to be issued. The netconsole write handler of course tries to take the target_list_lock again, which we already hold, causing deadlock. The fix is pretty striaghtforward. Simply drop the target_list_lock and re-enable irqs prior to calling __netpoll_cleanup, the re-acquire the lock, and restart the loop. Confirmed by myself to fix the problem reported. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 1e253c3b . It breaks 802.3ad bonding inside of a bridge. The commit was meant to support transport bridging, and specifically virtual machines bridged to an ethernet interface connected to a switch port wiht 802.1x enabled. But this isn't the way to do it, it breaks too many other things. Signed-off-by:

The mechanism used to initiate work events from the interrupt handler has a classic read/modify/write race between the interrupt handler that sets the condition, and the worker task that reads and clears the condition. Close these races by using atomic bit fields. Cc: stable@kernel.org Cc: Jie Yang <jie.yang@atheros.com> Signed-off-by:

The commit 609ff3bb ("be2net: add code to display temperature of ASIC") adds support to display temperature of ASIC but there is missing increment of work_counter in be_worker. Because of this 1) the function be_cmd_get_die_temperature is called every 1 second instead of every 32 seconds 2) be_cmd_get_die_temperature is called, although it is not supported. This patch fixes this bug. Signed-off-by:

The changes introduced with git-commit a02e4b7d ("ipv6: Demark default hoplimit as zero.") missed to remove the hoplimit initialization. As a result, ipv6_get_mtu interprets the return value of dst_metric_raw (-1) as 255 and answers ping6 with this hoplimit. This patche removes the line such that ping6 is answered with the hoplimit value configured via sysctl. Signed-off-by:

mac-fec.c was setting individual UDP address registers instead of multicast group address registers when joining a multicast group. This prevented from correctly receiving UDP multicast packets. According to datasheet, replaced hash_table_high and hash_table_low with grp_hash_table_high and grp_hash_table_low respectively. Also renamed hash_table_* with grp_hash_table_* in struct fec declaration for 8xx: these registers are used only for multicast there. Tested on a MPC5121 based board. Build tested also against mpc866_ads_defconfig. Signed-off-by:

At this point, skb->data points to skb_transport_header. So, headroom check is wrong. For some case:bridge(UFO is on) + eth device(UFO is off), there is no enough headroom for IPv6 frag head. But headroom check is always false. This will bring about data be moved to there prior to skb->head, when adding IPv6 frag header to skb. Signed-off-by:
