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.

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:
