2011-11-08iwmc3200wifi: add some more range checksDan Carpenter
My previous patch added a check to get_key() but missed a couple other places which need range checks. The problem here is that wifi drivers have different numbers of keys. The lower levels assume that they can have up to 4 default keys and 2 management keys but this driver only has the default keys so we could go past the end of the ->keys[] array.

2011-10-21macvtap: Fix the minor device number allocationEric W. Biederman
On systems that create and delete lots of dynamic devices the 31bit linux ifindex fails to fit in the 16bit macvtap minor, resulting in unusable macvtap devices. I have systems running automated tests that that hit this condition in just a few days. Use a linux idr allocator to track which mavtap minor numbers are available and and to track the association between macvtap minor numbers and macvtap network devices. Remove the unnecessary unneccessary check to see if the network device we have found is indeed a macvtap device. With macvtap specific data structures it is impossible to find any other kind of networking device. Increase the macvtap minor range from 65536 to the full 20 bits that is supported by linux device numbers. It doesn't solve the original problem but there is no penalty for a larger minor device range. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-19stmmac: add CHAINED descriptor mode support (V4)Giuseppe CAVALLARO
This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of descriptor. STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING) and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point to only one data buffer pointer. In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself, whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode. First version of this work has been done by Rayagond. Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code. A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for managing enhanced and normal descriptors. In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage. Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).
