Due to a documentation mistake, the IPG length was set to 0x12 while it should have been 12 (decimal). This would affect short packet (64B typically) performance since the IPG was bigger than necessary.

Numbers in DT are stored in “cells” which are 32-bits in size. of_property_read_u8 does not work properly because of endianness problem. This causes it to always return 0 with little-endian architectures. Fix it by using of_property_read_u32() OF API. Signed-off-by: Bhadram Varka <vbhadram@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH: "License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point).

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-10-30ath10k: rebuild crypto header in rx data framesVasanthakumar Thiagarajan
Rx data frames notified through HTT_T2H_MSG_TYPE_RX_IND and HTT_T2H_MSG_TYPE_RX_FRAG_IND expect PN/TSC check to be done on host (mac80211) rather than firmware. Rebuild cipher header in every received data frames (that are notified through those HTT interfaces) from the rx_hdr_status tlv available in the rx descriptor of the first msdu. Skip setting RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED flag for the packets which requires mac80211 PN/TSC check support and set appropriate RX_FLAG for stripped crypto tail. Hw QCA988X, QCA9887, QCA99X0, QCA9984, QCA9888 and QCA4019 currently need the rebuilding of cipher header to perform PN/TSC check for replay attack. Please note that removing crypto tail for CCMP-256, GCMP and GCMP-256 ciphers in raw mode needs to be fixed. Since Rx with these ciphers in raw mode does not work in the current form even without this patch and removing crypto tail for these chipers needs clean up, raw mode related issues in CCMP-256, GCMP and GCMP-256 can be addressed in follow up patches.

2017-10-28tap: reference to KVA of an unloaded module causes kernel panicGirish Moodalbail
The commit 9a393b5d5988 ("tap: tap as an independent module") created a separate tap module that implements tap functionality and exports interfaces that will be used by macvtap and ipvtap modules to create create respective tap devices. However, that patch introduced a regression wherein the modules macvtap and ipvtap can be removed (through modprobe -r) while there are applications using the respective /dev/tapX devices.

2017-10-26net/mlx5e: Properly deal with encap flows add/del under neigh updateOr Gerlitz
Currently, the encap action offload is handled in the actions parse function and not in mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() where we deal with all the other aspects of offloading actions (vlan, modify header) and the rule itself. When the neigh update code (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_add()) recreates the encap entry and offloads the related flows, we wrongly call again into mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow(), this for itself would cause us to handle again the offloading of vlans and header re-write which puts things in non consistent state and step on freed memory (e.g the modify header parse buffer which is already freed). Since on error, mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() detaches and may release the encap entry, it causes a corruption at the neigh update code which goes over the list of flows associated with this encap entry, or double free when the tc flow is later deleted by user-space. When neigh update (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_del()) unoffloads the flows related to an encap entry which is now invalid, we do a partial repeat of the eswitch flow removal code which is wrong too. To fix things up we do the following: (1) handle the encap action offload in the eswitch flow add function mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() as done for the other actions and the rule itself. (2) modify the neigh update code (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_add/del) to only deal with the encap entry and rules delete/add and not with any of the other offloaded actions.
