David Woodhouse 5d283e8cdb libertas: Fix ethtool statistics
Fix various problems:
 - We converted MESH_ACCESS to a direct command but missed this caller.
 - We were trying to access mesh stats even on meshless firmware.
 - We should really zero the buffer if something goes wrong.

Jack Morgenstein e1d50dce5a IPoIB: Test for NULL broadcast object in ipiob_mcast_join_finish()
We saw a kernel oops in our regression testing when a multicast "join
finish" occurred just after the interface was -- this is
<https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1040>.  The test
randomly causes the HCA physical port to go down then up.

The cause of this is that ipoib_mcast_join_finish() processing happen
just after ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() was invoked (in which case the
broadcast pointer is NULL).  This patch tests for and handles the case
where priv->broadcast is NULL.

Bob Copeland 89fd2e282a ath5k: Fix loop variable initializations
In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are
initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop.
If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the
variables may see changes from previous packets.

For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets
are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by
mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet.  The subsequent
packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211
will not try to decrypt it.

We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix
the other two.

Herbert Xu 1ac06e0306 ipsec: Use the correct ip_local_out function
Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its
own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output
instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output
directly.  Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output
may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes.

When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after
it has been freed which usually leads to a crash.  Because the
offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs
such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible.

Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this
down.

Roland Dreier cd155c1c7c IB/mlx4: Fix creation of kernel QP with max number of send s/g entries
When creating a kernel QP where the consumer asked for a send queue
with lots of scatter/gater entries, set_kernel_sq_size() incorrectly
returned an error if the send queue stride is larger than the
hardware's maximum send work request descriptor size.  This is not a
problem; the only issue is to make sure that the actual descriptors
used do not overflow the maximum descriptor size, so check this instead.

Clamp the returned max_send_sge value to be no bigger than what
query_device returns for the max_sge to avoid confusing hapless users,
even if the hardware is capable of handling a few more s/g entries.

This bug caused NFS/RDMA mounts to fail when the server adapter used
the mlx4 driver.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 43691da4ce UIO: fix race in device_create
There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.

This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_drvdata().

Greg Kroah-Hartman 8882b39421 Driver core: add device_create_vargs and device_create_drvdata
We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device
as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later
setting of this field.

So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and
device_create_drvdata() that take this new field.

device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will
just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.
