Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

USB devices rely on queuing functionality provided by the fwsignal
module regardless the mode fwsignal is operating in. For this some
data structure needs to be reserved which is tied to the interface,
which is done by brcmf_fws_add_interface(). However, it checks the
mode. Replace that by checking result from brcmf_fws_queue_skbs().
Otherwise the driver will crash in a null pointer dereference when
data is transmitted on the interface.

When request firmware fails, brcmf_ops_sdio_remove is being called and
brcmf_bus freed. In such circumstancies if you do a suspend/resume cycle
the kernel hangs on resume due a NULL pointer dereference in resume
function. So in brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback() we need to unbind the
driver from both sdio_func devices when firmware load failure is indicated.

When firmware loading failed the code used to unbind the device provided
by the calling code. However, for the sdio driver two devices are bound
and both need to be released upon failure. The callback has been extended
with parameter to pass error code so add that in this commit upon firmware
loading failure.

Extend the parameters in the firmware callback so it can be called
upon success and failure. This allows the caller to properly clear
all resources in the failure path. Right now the error code is
always zero, ie. success.

Fixes for 4.12:
* Some memory leaks;
* IBSS support;
* Some bugzilla bugs;
* Some runtime PM fixes;
* Rate-scaling issues;
* Some locking problems;
For SDIO the alignment requirement for transfers from device to host
is configured in firmware. This configuration is limited to minimum
of 4-byte alignment. However, this is not correct for platforms using
64-bit DMA when the minimum alignment should be 8 bytes. This issue
appeared when the ALIGNMENT definition was set according the DMA
configuration. The configuration in firmware was not using that macro
defintion, but a hardcoded value of 4. Hence the driver reported
alignment failures for data coming from the device and causing
transfers to fail.

The SMD channel is not the primary WCNSS channel and must explicitly be
closed as the device is removed, or the channel will already by open on
a subsequent probe call in e.g. the case of reloading the kernel module.
This issue was introduced because I simplified the underlying SMD
implementation while the SMD adaptions of the driver sat on the mailing
list, but missed to update these patches. The patch does however only
apply back to the transition to rpmsg, hence the limited Fixes.

Since commit 76b91c32dd86 ("bridge: stp: when using userspace stp stop
kernel hello and hold timers"), bridge would not start hello_timer if
stp_enabled is not KERNEL_STP when br_dev_open.
The problem is even if users set stp_enabled with KERNEL_STP later,
the timer will still not be started. It causes that KERNEL_STP can
not really work. Users have to re-ifup the bridge to avoid this.
This patch is to fix it by starting br->hello_timer when enabling
KERNEL_STP in br_stp_start.
As an improvement, it's also to start hello_timer again only when
br->stp_enabled is KERNEL_STP in br_hello_timer_expired, there is
no reason to start the timer again when it's NO_STP.

When TX checksum offload is used, if the computed checksum is 0 the
LAN95xx device do not alter the checksum to 0xffff. In the case of ipv4
UDP checksum, it indicates to receiver that no checksum is calculated.
Under ipv6, UDP checksum yields a result of zero must be changed to
0xffff. Hence disabling checksum offload for ipv6 packets.
