2011-08-04macb: restore wrap bit when performing underrun cleanupTord Andersson
When TX underrun occurs, a cleanup is performed that marks all buffers as used. As a side effect it also clears the wrap bit in the last buffer. This patch will restore the wrap bit.

2011-08-04cdc_ncm: fix endianness problem.Giuseppe Scrivano
Fix a misusage of the struct usb_cdc_notification to pass arguments to the usb_control_msg function. The usb_control_msg function expects host endian arguments but usb_cdc_notification stores these values as little endian. Now usb_control_msg is directly invoked with host endian values.

2011-08-02bnx2x: Prevent restarting Tx during bnx2x_nic_unloadVladislav Zolotarov
Tx queues were stopped before bp->state was changed to a value different from BNX2X_STATE_OPEN, which allowed the bnx2x_tx_int() called from the NAPI context to re-enable it. This then allowed the netdev->ndo_start_xmit() to be called in the middle of the function reset and rings freeing.

2011-08-01rtlwifi: Fix kernel oops on ARM SOCLarry Finger
This driver uses information from the self member of the pci_bus struct to get information regarding the bridge to which the PCIe device is attached. Unfortunately, this member is not established on all architectures, which leads to a kernel oops. Skipping the entire block that uses the self member to determine the bridge vendor will only affect RTL8192DE devices as that driver sets the ASPM support flag differently when the bridge vendor is Intel. If the self member is available, there is no functional change. This patch fixes Bugzilla No. 40212.

2011-07-27bonding: fix string comparison errorsAndy Gospodarek
When a bond contains a device where one name is the subset of another (eth1 and eth10, for example), one cannot properly set the primary device or the currently active device. This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya. I also verified the problem and tested that this fix resolves it. V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used. I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave. V3: Actually sending the proper patch.... Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Reported-by: Takuma Umeya <tumeya@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
