Request for stable inclusion

[Thomas Gleixner]

Hi,

commit b20a774495671f037e7160ea2ce8789af6b61533
Author: David Ertman <davidx.m.ertman@intel.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 25 04:27:55 2014 +0000

    e1000e: Fix no connectivity when driver loaded with cable out

fixes an issue which affects quite some of the newer Laptops and also
Desktops (e.g. AOI-PCs) which are based on mobile chipsets.

I don't know how far this reaches back, but at least the 3.13 and 3.14
kernels need this fix. Jeff, David, can you tell?

Please consider for inclusion.

Thanks,

	tglx

The commit that caused the issue went into net-next on June 21, 2013.  So at least 3.11 and forward, and probably 3.10.

There is a way to know exactly the cut point :

$ git describe --contains da1e2046e5
v3.12-rc1~132^2~445^2~6

So 3.12+ is affected.

Yes, sorry about that.  I was looking at when it got committed into an internal queue as opposed to taken into Linus's tree.  Silly mistake.

Now applied to 3.14-stable, thanks.

Hi Dave,

Could you please push to -stable the UAR patch (below), it allows mlx4
to run on PPC systems without hacking PCI BAR sizes. The patch
introduced small regression for people that do prefer to run non
modified VF drivers with modified host driver, and hence should be
accompanied by the  backward compatibility (below too)

76e39cc net/mlx4_core: Fix backward compatibility on VFs
85743f1 net/mlx4_core: Set UAR page size to 4KB regardless of system page size

Thanks,

Or.

Hi Dave,

Commit 9293267 "net/mlx4_core: Capping number of requested MSIXs to 
MAX_MSIX"  fixes a bug under which the driver doesn't really starts over 
a machine with > 32 cores.

The bug was introduced in 4.2-rc1 but the fix missed 4.2 -- could you 
please push it to 4.2 -stable?

If you prefer that we will submit it directly there, fine too.

thanks,

Or.

Queued up, thanks.

Hello David,

9c13cb8bb477a83b9a3c9e5a5478a4e21294a760
tg3: Avoid null pointer dereference in tg3_interrupt in netconsole mode

daf3ec688e057f6060fb9bb0819feac7a8bbf45c
tg3: Fix crc errors on jumbo frame receive

The above 2 commits looks like missing from the stable and the netdev
stable queues. It was observed that the above issues can be reproduced in
a kernel that as old as a 2.6.32-based fedora kernel, so I'd like to request
to include them for 3.0.y, 3.4.y and 3.7.y.

1e47ee8367babe6a5e8adf44a714c7086657b87e
netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix BUG_ON while removing nf_conntrack with netns

This one looks like a candidate for 3.7-stable but also missing from the
queues. Do you agree?

Regards,
CAI Qian

This has already been merged.
