      ipv6: ip6_sk_dst_check() must not assume ipv6 dst · a963a37d
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      It's possible to use AF_INET6 sockets and to connect to an IPv4
destination. After this, socket dst cache is a pointer to a rtable,
not rt6_info.

ip6_sk_dst_check() should check the socket dst cache is IPv6, or else
various corruptions/crashes can happen.

Dave Jones can reproduce immediate crash with
trinity -q -l off -n -c sendmsg -c connect

      net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval. · 5dbe7c17
      Nicolas Schichan authored 
      When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the
rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue
to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a
SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to
the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the
writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the
devnet_rename_seq sequence.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name())
and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and
SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt.

The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid
spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become
even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying
the access to give the writer process a chance to finish.

The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the
reader process in the contended case, but this is better than
deadlocking the system.

      net/tg3: Avoid delay during MMIO access · 6d446ec3
      Gavin Shan authored 
      When the EEH error is the result of a fenced host bridge, MMIO accesses
can be very slow (milliseconds) to timeout and return all 1's,
thus causing the driver various timeout loops to take way too long and
trigger soft-lockup warnings (in addition to taking minutes to recover).

It might be worthwhile to check if for any of these cases, ffffffff is
a valid possible value, and if not, bail early since that means the HW
is either gone or isolated. In the meantime, checking that the PCI channel
is offline would be workaround of the problem.

      net: fec: Fix build for MCF5272 · d1391930
      Guenter Roeck authored 
      Commits 4c09eed9 (net: fec: Enable imx6 enet checksum acceleration) and
baa70a5c (net: fec: enable pause frame to improve rx prefomance for 1G
network) introduced functionality into the FEC driver which is not
supported on MCF5272. The registers used to implement this functionality
do not exist on MCF5272. Since register defines for MCF5272 are separate
from register defines for other chips, building images for MCF5272 fails
as follows.

fec_main.c: In function 'fec_restart':
fec_main.c:520:8: error: 'FEC_RACC' undeclared (first use in this function)
fec_main.c:585:3: error: 'FEC_R_FIFO_RSEM' undeclared (first use in this function)
fec_main.c:586:3: error: 'FEC_R_FIFO_RSFL' undeclared (first use in this function)
fec_main.c:587:3: error: 'FEC_R_FIFO_RAEM' undeclared (first use in this function)
fec_main.c:588:3: error: 'FEC_R_FIFO_RAFL' undeclared (first use in this function)
fec_main.c:591:3: error: 'FEC_OPD' undeclared (first use in this function)

Adding the missing register defines is not an option, since the registers
do not exist on MCF5272. Disable the added functionality for MCF5272 builds.
