Revision ff3421dee60928de95b68a13a1b64125b62b10a4 authored by Linus Torvalds on 01 April 2013, 15:06:30 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 01 April 2013, 15:06:30 UTC
Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) sadb_msg prepared for IPSEC userspace forgets to initialize the satype field, fix from Nicolas Dichtel. 2) Fix mac80211 synchronization during station removal, from Johannes Berg. 3) Fix IPSEC sequence number notifications when they wrap, from Steffen Klassert. 4) Fix cfg80211 wdev tracing crashes when add_virtual_intf() returns an error pointer, from Johannes Berg. 5) In mac80211, don't call into the channel context code with the interface list mutex held. From Johannes Berg. 6) In mac80211, if we don't actually associate, do not restart the STA timer, otherwise we can crash. From Ben Greear. 7) Missing dma_mapping_error() check in e1000, ixgb, and e1000e. From Christoph Paasch. 8) Fix sja1000 driver defines to not conflict with SH port, from Marc Kleine-Budde. 9) Don't call il4965_rs_use_green with a NULL station, from Colin Ian King. 10) Suspend/Resume in the FEC driver fail because the buffer descriptors are not initialized at all the moments in which they should. Fix from Frank Li. 11) cpsw and davinci_emac drivers both use the wrong interface to restart a stopped TX queue. Use netif_wake_queue not netif_start_queue, the latter is for initialization/bringup not active management of the queue. From Mugunthan V N. 12) Fix regression in rate calculations done by psched_ratecfg_precompute(), missing u64 type promotion. From Sergey Popovich. 13) Fix length overflow in tg3 VPD parsing, from Kees Cook. 14) AOE driver fails to allocate enough headroom, resulting in crashes. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 15) RX overflow happens too quickly in sky2 driver because pause packet thresholds are not programmed correctly. From Mirko Lindner. 16) Bonding driver manages arp_interval and miimon settings incorrectly, disabling one unintentionally disables both. Fix from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 17) smsc75xx drivers don't program the RX mac properly for jumbo frames. Fix from Steve Glendinning. 18) Fix off-by-one in Codel packet scheduler. From Vijay Subramanian. 19) Fix packet corruption in atl1c by disabling MSI support, from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 20) netdev_rx_handler_unregister() needs a synchronize_net() to fix crashes in bonding driver unload stress tests. From Eric Dumazet. 21) rxlen field of ks8851 RX packet descriptors not interpreted correctly (it is 12 bits not 16 bits, so needs to be masked after shifting the 32-bit value down 16 bits). Fix from Max Nekludov. 22) Fix missed RX/TX enable in sh_eth driver due to mishandling of link change indications. From Sergei Shtylyov. 23) Fix crashes during spurious ECI interrupts in sh_eth driver, also from Sergei Shtylyov. 24) dm9000 driver initialization is done wrong for revision B devices with DSP PHY, from Joseph CHANG. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (53 commits) DM9000B: driver initialization upgrade sh_eth: make 'link' field of 'struct sh_eth_private' *int* sh_eth: workaround for spurious ECI interrupt sh_eth: fix handling of no LINK signal ks8851: Fix interpretation of rxlen field. net: add a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister() MAINTAINERS: Update netxen_nic maintainers list atl1e: drop pci-msi support because of packet corruption net: fq_codel: Fix off-by-one error net: calxedaxgmac: Wake-on-LAN fixes net: calxedaxgmac: fix rx ring handling when OOM net: core: Remove redundant call to 'nf_reset' in 'dev_forward_skb' smsc75xx: fix jumbo frame support net: fix the use of this_cpu_ptr bonding: fix disabling of arp_interval and miimon ipv6: don't accept node local multicast traffic from the wire sky2: Threshold for Pause Packet is set wrong sky2: Receive Overflows not counted aoe: reserve enough headroom on skbs line up comment for ndo_bridge_getlink ...
REPORTING-BUGS
[Some of this is taken from Frohwalt Egerer's original linux-kernel FAQ]
What follows is a suggested procedure for reporting Linux bugs. You
aren't obliged to use the bug reporting format, it is provided as a guide
to the kind of information that can be useful to developers - no more.
If the failure includes an "OOPS:" type message in your log or on
screen please read "Documentation/oops-tracing.txt" before posting your
bug report. This explains what you should do with the "Oops" information
to make it useful to the recipient.
Send the output to the maintainer of the kernel area that seems to
be involved with the problem, and cc the relevant mailing list. Don't
worry too much about getting the wrong person. If you are unsure send it
to the person responsible for the code relevant to what you were doing.
If it occurs repeatably try and describe how to recreate it. That is
worth even more than the oops itself. The list of maintainers and
mailing lists is in the MAINTAINERS file in this directory. If you
know the file name that causes the problem you can use the following
command in this directory to find some of the maintainers of that file:
perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f <filename>
If it is a security bug, please copy the Security Contact listed
in the MAINTAINERS file. They can help coordinate bugfix and disclosure.
See Documentation/SecurityBugs for more information.
If you are totally stumped as to whom to send the report, send it to
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. (For more information on the linux-kernel
mailing list see http://www.tux.org/lkml/).
This is a suggested format for a bug report sent to the Linux kernel mailing
list. Having a standardized bug report form makes it easier for you not to
overlook things, and easier for the developers to find the pieces of
information they're really interested in. Don't feel you have to follow it.
First run the ver_linux script included as scripts/ver_linux, which
reports the version of some important subsystems. Run this script with
the command "sh scripts/ver_linux".
Use that information to fill in all fields of the bug report form, and
post it to the mailing list with a subject of "PROBLEM: <one line
summary from [1.]>" for easy identification by the developers.
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
[4.] Kernel information
[4.1.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
[4.2.] Kernel .config file:
[5.] Most recent kernel version which did not have the bug:
[6.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
[7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)
[8.] Environment
[8.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)
[8.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo):
[8.3.] Module information (from /proc/modules):
[8.4.] Loaded driver and hardware information (/proc/ioports, /proc/iomem)
[8.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root)
[8.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi)
[8.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
(please look in /proc and include all information that you
think to be relevant):
[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
