usbnet: remove generic hard_header_len check

2014-02-17T19:35:46Z

This patch removes a generic hard_header_len check from the usbnet module that is causing dropped packages under certain circumstances for devices that send rx packets that cross urb boundaries. One example is the AX88772B which occasionally send rx packets that cross urb boundaries where the remaining partial packet is sent with no hardware header. When the buffer with a partial packet is of less number of octets than the value of hard_header_len the buffer is discarded by the usbnet module. With AX88772B this can be reproduced by using ping with a packet size between 1965-1976. The bug has been reported here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29082 This patch introduces the following changes: - Removes the generic hard_header_len check in the rx_complete function in the usbnet module. - Introduces a ETH_HLEN check for skbs that are not cloned from within a rx_fixup callback. - For safety a hard_header_len check is added to each rx_fixup callback function that could be affected by this change. These extra checks could possibly be removed by someone who has the hardware to test. - Removes a call to dev_kfree_skb_any() and instead utilizes the dev->done list to queue skbs for cleanup. The changes place full responsibility on the rx_fixup callback functions that clone skbs to only pass valid skbs to the usbnet_skb_return function.

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26Z

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which has been submitted separately. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

usb: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-06T17:37:55Z

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with the URL so that we do not have to keep updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

usbnet: do not pretend to support SG/TSO

2013-07-26T20:48:22Z

usbnet doesn't support yet SG, so drivers should not advertise SG or TSO capabilities, as they allow TCP stack to build large TSO packets that need to be linearized and might use order-5 pages. This adds an extra copy overhead and possible allocation failures. Current code ignore skb_linearize() return code so crashes are even possible. Best is to not pretend SG/TSO is supported, and add this again when/if usbnet really supports SG for devices who could get a performance gain.

smsc75xx: fix jumbo frame support

2013-03-29T19:16:21Z

This patch enables RX of jumbo frames for LAN7500. Previously the driver would transmit jumbo frames succesfully but would drop received jumbo frames (incrementing the interface errors count). With this patch applied the device can succesfully receive jumbo frames up to MTU 9000 (9014 bytes on the wire including ethernet header). Signed-off-by: Steve Glendinning Signed-off-by: David S.

usbnet: smsc75xx: don't recover device if suspend fails in system sleep

2013-03-25T17:55:47Z

If suspend callback fails in system sleep context, usb core will ignore the failure and let system sleep go ahead further, so this patch doesn't recover device under this situation. Also add comments on this case. Acked-by: David S. Miller Cc: Steve Glendinning Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

smsc75xx: only set mac address once on bind

2012-12-10T19:09:00Z

This patch changes when we decide what the device's MAC address is from per ifconfig up to once when the device is connected. Without this patch, a manually forced device MAC is overwritten on ifconfig down/up. Also devices that have no EEPROM are assigned a new random address on ifconfig down/up instead of persisting the same one.

smsc75xx: expand check_ macros

2012-11-30T17:27:20Z

These macros, while reducing the amount of code, hide flow control and make the code more confusing to follow and review. This patch expands them. It should have no functional effect on the driver. Signed-off-by: Steve Glendinning Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
