      net: Kill skb_truesize_check(), it only catches false-positives. · 92a0acce
      David S. Miller authored
      A long time ago we had bugs, primarily in TCP, where we would modify
      skb->truesize (for TSO queue collapsing) in ways which would corrupt
      the socket memory accounting.
      
      skb_truesize_check() was added in order to try and catch this error
      more systematically.
      
      However this debugging check has morphed into a Frankenstein of sorts
      and these days it does nothing other than catch false-positives.

      net: forcedeth: Fix wake-on-lan regression · 34edaa88
      Tobias Diedrich authored
      Commit f55c21fd ("forcedeth: call
      restore mac addr in nv_shutdown path"), which was introduced to fix
      the regression tracked at
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11358 causes the
      wake-on-lan mac to be reversed in the shutdown path.  Apparently the
      forcedeth situation is rather messy in that the mac we need to
      writeback for a subsequent modprobe to work is exactly the reverse of
      what is needed for proper wake-on-lan.
      
      The following patch explains the situation in the comments and
      makes the call to nv_restore_mac_addr() conditional (only called if
      we are not really going for poweroff).

      With the following patch:
      shutdown         OK
      disk/shutdown    OK
      disk/platform    OK
      kexec            OK
