      mv643xx_eth: fix inconsistent lock semantics · 8e0b1bf6
      Lennert Buytenhek authored
      Nicolas Pitre noted that mv643xx_eth_poll was incorrectly using
      non-IRQ-safe locks while checking whether to wake up the netdevice's
      transmit queue.  Convert the locking to *_irq() variants, since we
      are running from softirq context where interrupts are enabled.

      mv643xx_eth: fix double add_timer() on the receive oom timer · 92c70f27
      Lennert Buytenhek authored
      Commit 12e4ab79 ("mv643xx_eth: be
      more agressive about RX refill") changed the condition for the receive
      out-of-memory timer to be scheduled from "the receive ring is empty"
      to "the receive ring is not full".
      
      This can lead to a situation where the receive out-of-memory timer is
      pending because a previous rxq_refill() didn't manage to refill the
      receive ring entirely as a result of being out of memory, and
      rxq_refill() is then called again as a side effect of a packet receive
      interrupt, and that rxq_refill() call then again does not succeed to
      refill the entire receive ring with fresh empty skbuffs because we are
      still out of memory, and then tries to call add_timer() on the already
      scheduled out-of-memory timer.
      
      This patch fixes this issue by changing the add_timer() call in
      rxq_refill() to a mod_timer() call.  If the OOM timer was not already
      scheduled, this will behave as before, whereas if it was already
      scheduled, this patch will push back its firing time a bit, which is
      safe because we've (unsuccessfully) attempted to refill the receive
      ring just before we do this.

      mv643xx_eth: fix NAPI 'rotting packet' issue · 819ddcaf
      Lennert Buytenhek authored
      When a receive interrupt occurs, mv643xx_eth would first process the
      receive descriptors and then ACK the receive interrupt, instead of the
      other way round.
      
      This would leave a small race window between processing the last
      receive descriptor and clearing the receive interrupt status in which
      a new packet could come in, which would then 'rot' in the receive
      ring until the next receive interrupt would come in.
      
      Fix this by ACKing (clearing) the receive interrupt condition before
      processing the receive descriptors.

      powerpc: Fix vio_bus_probe oops on probe error · cd5aeb9f
      Brian King authored
      When CMO is enabled and booted on a non CMO system and the VIO
      device's probe function fails, an oops can result since
      vio_cmo_bus_remove is called when it should not.  This fixes it by
      avoiding the vio_cmo_bus_remove call on platforms that don't implement
      CMO.
