      ====================
      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-04
      
      This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf, ixgbe and ixgbevf.
      
      Catherine adds dual speed module support to i40e.  Updates i40e to allow
      the user to change link settings when the link is down.
      
      Serey renames i40e_ndo_set_vf_spoofck() to i40e_ndo_set_vf_spookchk()
      to be more consistent with what is defined in netdev and removes a
      unnecessary variable assignment.
      
      Jesse makes a malicious driver detection warning only print if extended
      driver string is enabled for i40e.  Fixes a panic under traffic load when
      resetting or if/whenever there was a Tx-timeout because we were enabling
      the Tx queue to early.
      
      Anjali fixes an issue when PF reset fails, where we were trying to restart
      the admin queue which has not been setup at that point.  This resolves an
      occasional kernel panic when PF reset fails for some reason.
      
      Ethan Zhao replaces the use of a local i40e_vfs_are_assigned() with the
      global kernel pci_vfs_assigned() for i40e.
      
      Alex cleans up the FDB handling for ixgbe.  This change makes it so that
      the behavior for FDB handling is consistent between both the SR-IOV and
      non-SR-IOV cases.  The main change is that we perform bounds checking on
      the number of SR-IOV addresses regardless of if SR-IOV is enabled or not
      as we can only support a certain number of addresses in the hardware.
      
      Emil extends the pending Tx work check to the VF interfaces, where the
      driver initiates a reset of the interface on link loss with pending Tx
      work in order to clear the rings.  Introduces a delay for 82599 VFs of
      at least 500 usecs to make sure the VFLINKS value is correct, since this
      bit tends to flap when a DA or SFP+ cable is disconnected.
      
      Jacob adds code comments in ixgbe to make it more obvious that we are
      resetting features based on the fact that we do not have MSI-X enabled,
      and cannot use the previous settings.  Also resolves a kernel NULL
      pointer dereference by limiting the combined total of MACVLAN and
      SR-IOV VFs, since the hardware has a limited number of pools available
      (64).  Previously, no checks were in place to limit the number of
      accelerated MACVLAN devices based on the number of pools, which would
      be ok since there was already a limit for these well below the number of
      available pools.  However, SR-IOV uses the very same pools, therefore
      we need to ensure that the total number of pools does not exceed the
      number of pools available in the hardware.
      
      v2:
       - clean up code comment in patch 5 by replacing "an" with "auto
         negotiation" based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov
       - removed un-necessary parenthesis around function call in patch 8
         based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov

      net: ethernet: cpsw: improve interrupt lookup logic in cpsw_probe() · c2b32e58
      Daniel Mack authored
      Simplify the interrupt resource lookup code in cpsw_probe() by the
      following:
      
       * Only look at the first member of the resource. As the driver only
         works for DT-enabled platforms anyway, a resource of type
         IORESOURCE_IRQ will only contain one single entry
         (res->start == res->end), so there is no need for the iteration.
      
       * Add a bounds check to avoid overflows if we are passed more than
         ARRAY_SIZE(priv->irqs_table) resources.
      
       * Assign 'ret' with the return value of devm_request_irq() so that
         cpsw_probe() returns the appropriate error code.
      
       * If devm_request_irq() fails, report the error code in the log
         message.

      ipv4: fix a race in update_or_create_fnhe() · caa41527
      Eric Dumazet authored
      nh_exceptions is effectively used under rcu, but lacks proper
      barriers. Between kzalloc() and setting of nh->nh_exceptions(),
      we need a proper memory barrier.
