net: netxen: correct sysfs bin attribute return code

2015-05-27T04:25:33Z

If read() syscall requests unexpected number of bytes from "dimm" binary attribute file, return EINVAL instead of EPERM. At the same time pin down sysfs file size to the fixed sizeof(struct netxen_dimm_cfg), which allows to exploit some missing sanity checks from kernfs (file boundary checks vs offset etc.) Signed-off-by: Vladimir Zapolskiy Signed-off-by: David S.

netxen_nic: use spin_[un]lock_bh around tx_clean_lock (2)

2015-05-09T20:44:46Z

This patch should have been part of the previous patch having the same summary. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=143039470103795&w=2 Unfortunately, I didn't check to see where else this lock was used before submitting that patch. This should take care of it for netxen_nic, as I did a thorough search this time. To recap from the original patch; although testing this driver with DEBUG_LOCKDEP and DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled did not produce any traces, it would be more prudent in the case of tx_clean_lock to use _bh versions of spin_[un]lock, since this lock is manipulated in both the process and softirq contexts. This patch was tested for functionality and regressions with netperf and DEBUG_LOCKDEP and DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled.

netxen: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree"

2015-02-05T08:26:23Z

The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netxen: fix netxen_nic_poll() logic

2015-01-25T08:21:45Z

NAPI poll logic now enforces that a poller returns exactly the budget when it wants to be called again. If a driver limits TX completion, it has to return budget as well when the limit is hit, not the number of received packets.
