e1000: add missing length check to e1000 receive routine
Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000. E1000 by default does two
things:
1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve
2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to
doing an skb_put
Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span
multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and
discards it if its not set. This places us in a situation where, if we have a
spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since
it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test). If the second part of
the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc,
underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a
huge number of bytes into the skb. This amounts to a remote DOS attack through
careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU. The fix for this
is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no
one ever pushed it to e1000. This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents
small frames from causing the underflow described above

skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging
to recover I think).
- The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early
and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did.
Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the
cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the
previous-like version.

at76c50x-usb: avoid mutex deadlock in at76_dwork_hw_scan
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13312
at76_dwork_hw_scan holds a mutex while calling ieee80211_scan_completed,
which then calls at76_config which needs the same mutex. This reworks
the ordering to not hold the lock while calling ieee80211_scan_completed.

introduced a regression on platforms defining DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP_ADDR()
and related macros as no-ops.
Rx descriptors are fed with the a page buffer bus address + page chunk offset.
The page buffer bus address is set and retrieved through
pci_unamp_addr_set(), pci_unmap_addr().
These functions being meaningless on x86 (if CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is not set).
The HW ends up with a bogus bus address.
This patch saves the page buffer bus address for all plaftorms.

bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work properly in bridge -try4.3
[PATCH net-next] bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work properly in bridge -try4.3
(updated)
changes v4.2 -> v4.3
- memcpy the address always, not just in case it differs from master->dev_addr
- compare_ether_addr_64bits() is not used so there is no direct need to make new
header file (I think it would be good to have bond stuff in separate file
anyway).
changes v4.1 -> v4.2
- use skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST compare rather then comparing skb dest addr
against skb->dev->dev_addr
The problem is described in following bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487763
Basically here's what's going on. In every mode, bonding interface uses the same
mac address for all enslaved devices (except fail_over_mac). Only balance-alb
will simultaneously use multiple MAC addresses across different slaves. When you
put this kind of bond device into a bridge it will only add one of mac adresses
into a hash list of mac addresses, say X. This mac address is marked as local.
But this bonding interface also has mac address Y. Now then packet arrives with
destination address Y, this address is not marked as local and the packed looks
like it needs to be forwarded. This packet is then lost which is wrong.
Notice that interfaces can be added and removed from bond while it is in bridge.
***
When the multiple addresses for bridge port approach failed to solve this issue
due to STP I started to think other way to solve this. I returned to previous
solution but tweaked one.
This patch solves the situation in the bonding without touching bridge code.
For every incoming frame to bonding the destination address is compared to
current address of the slave device from which tha packet came. If these two
match destination address is replaced by mac address of the master. This address
is known by bridge so it is delivered properly. Note that the comparsion is not
made directly, it's used skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST instead. This is "set"
previously in eth_type_trans().
I experimentally tried that this works as good as searching through the slave
list (v4 of this patch).

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
