Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-06-26
This series contains fixes for igb, e1000e and i40evf.
Todd disables IPv6 extension header processing due to a hardware errata
and bumps the driver version.
Yanir provides six fixes for e1000e. First is a fix for a locking issue
where we were not always taking the pci_bus_sem semaphore all the time
when calling pci_disable_link_state_locked(), so fix the code to only call
pci_disable_link_state_locked() when the semaphore has been acquired,
otherwise call pci_disable_link_state(). A previous fix for i219 where
the hardware prevented ULP entry caused EEE in Sx not the be enabled, so
modify the code flow that allows both ULP and EEE in Sx. Fix an issue
when running 10/100 full duplex on i219 where CRC errors were occurring
by increasing the IPG from 8 to 0xC as per the hardware developers.
Fix a data corruption issue found on some platforms by increasing the
minimum gap between the PHY FIFO read and write pointers. Fix i219,
which does not require the K1 workaround for LPT devices.
Mitch provides a i40evf fix for a panic when changing MTU. Down was
requesting queue disables, but then exited immediately without waiting
for the queues to actually be disabled. This could allow any function
called after i40evf_down() to run immediately, including i40evf_up(),
and causes a memory leak. Fixed the issue by removing the whole
reinit_locked function which allows for the driver to handle the state
changes by requesting reset from the periodic timer. The second fix
resolves an issue where RSS was being configured as though it is using
the maximum number of queue. This can cause the device to drop a lot
of receive traffic, as the packets get assigned to non-functional queues.
This is resolved by only configuring RSS with the number of active queues.
