net: mvneta: properly disable HW PHY polling and ensure adjust_link() works

2013-09-27T00:21:45Z

commit 714086029116b6b0a34e67ba1dd2f0d1cf26770c upstream. This commit fixes a long-standing bug that has been reported by many users: on some Armada 370 platforms, only the network interface that has been used in U-Boot to tftp the kernel works properly in Linux. The other network interfaces can see a 'link up', but are unable to transmit data. The reports were generally made on the Armada 370-based Mirabox, but have also been given on the Armada 370-RD board. The network MAC in the Armada 370/XP (supported by the mvneta driver in Linux) has a functionality that allows it to continuously poll the PHY and directly update the MAC configuration accordingly (speed, duplex, etc.). The very first versions of the driver submitted for review were using this hardware mechanism, but due to this, the driver was not integrated with the kernel phylib. Following reviews, the driver was changed to use the phylib, and therefore a software based polling. In software based polling, Linux regularly talks to the PHY over the MDIO bus, and sees if the link status has changed. If it's the case then the adjust_link() callback of the driver is called to update the MAC configuration accordingly. However, it turns out that the adjust_link() callback was not configuring the hardware in a completely correct way: while it was setting the speed and duplex bits correctly, it wasn't telling the hardware to actually take into account those bits rather than what the hardware-based PHY polling mechanism has concluded. So, in fact the adjust_link() callback was basically a no-op. However, the network happened to be working because on the network interfaces used by U-Boot for tftp on Armada 370 platforms because the hardware PHY polling was enabled by the bootloader, and left enabled by Linux. However, the second network interface not used for tftp (or both network interfaces if the kernel is loaded from USB, NAND or SD card) didn't had the hardware PHY polling enabled. This patch fixes this situation by: (1) Making sure that the hardware PHY polling is disabled by clearing the MVNETA_PHY_POLLING_ENABLE bit in the MVNETA_UNIT_CONTROL register in the driver ->probe() function. (2) Making sure that the duplex and speed selections made by the adjust_link() callback are taken into account by clearing the MVNETA_GMAC_AN_SPEED_EN and MVNETA_GMAC_AN_DUPLEX_EN bits in the MVNETA_GMAC_AUTONEG_CONFIG register. This patch has been tested on Armada 370 Mirabox, and now both network interfaces are usable after boot.

ath9k: fix rx descriptor related race condition

2013-09-27T00:21:45Z

commit e96542e55a2aacf4bdeccfe2f17b77c4895b4df2 upstream. Similar to a race condition that exists in the tx path, the hardware might re-read the 'next' pointer of a descriptor of the last completed frame. This only affects non-EDMA (pre-AR93xx) devices. To deal with this race, defer clearing and re-linking a completed rx descriptor until the next one has been processed. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W.

brcmsmac: Fix WARNING caused by lack of calls to dma_mapping_error()

mwifiex: do not create AP and P2P interfaces upon driver loading

2013-09-14T14:06:46Z

commit 1211c961170cedb21c30d5bb7e2033c8720b38db upstream. Bug 60747 - 1286:2044 [Microsoft Surface Pro] Marvell 88W8797 wifi show 3 interface under network https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60747 This issue was also reported previously by OLPC and some folks from the community. There are 3 network interfaces with different types being created when mwifiex driver is loaded: 1. mlan0 (infra. STA) 2. uap0 (AP) 3. p2p0 (P2P_CLIENT) The Network Manager attempts to use all 3 interfaces above without filtering the managed interface type. As the result, 3 identical interfaces are displayed under network manager. If user happens to click on an entry under which its interface is uap0 or p2p0, the association will fail. Work around it by removing the creation of AP and P2P interfaces at driver loading time. These interfaces can be added with 'iw' or other applications manually when they are needed.

net: fec: fix time stamping logic after napi conversion

2013-08-30T22:01:19Z

Commit dc975382 "net: fec: add napi support to improve proformance" converted the fec driver to the napi model. However, that commit forgot to remove the call to skb_defer_rx_timestamp which is only needed in non-napi drivers. (The function napi_gro_receive eventually calls netif_receive_skb, which in turn calls skb_defer_rx_timestamp.) This patch should also be applied to the 3.9 and 3.10 kernels.

net: usb: Add HP hs2434 device to ZLP exception table

2013-08-28T22:22:15Z

This patch adds another entry (HP hs2434 Mobile Broadband) to the list of exceptional devices that require a zero length packet in order to function properly. This list was added in commit 844e88f0. The hs2434 is manufactured by Sierra Wireless, who also produces the MC7710, which the ZLP exception list was created for in the first place. So hopefully it is just this one producer's devices that will need this workaround. Tested on a DM1-4310NR HP notebook, which does not function without this change.
