3f61cd879c bnx2x: Fix mem leak in bnx2x_tpa_stop() if build_skb() fails.
We allocate memory for 'new_data' with kmalloc(). If we get the memory
we then try to build_skb() and if that should fail (which it can) we
do not enter 'if (likely(skb)) {' and actually use 'new_data' but
instead fall through to the 'drop:' label and end up returning from
the function without ever assigning 'new'data' to anything or freeing
it. That leaks the memory allocated to 'new_data'.

This patch fixes the memory leak by doing a kfree(new_data) in the
case where build_skb() fails (or where allocation of 'new_data' itself
fails, but in taht case it's just a harmless kfree(NULL)).

7e2eb99cc6 mlx4: fix DMA mapping leak when allocation fails
mlx4_en_prepare_rx_desc does not correctly clean up after it finds an
allocation failure. It should unmap a page before calling put_page, but
it only calls the later.

This bug would prevent a device removal using hotplug after setting the
device MTU to 9000 and opening the network interface. After the fix, we
still see the allocation failure with MTU 9000, but we are able to
remove the device.

68355f7113 mlx4: allow device removal by fixing dma unmap size
After opening the network interface, Mellanox ConnectX device cannot be
removed by hotplug because it has not properly unmapped all DMA memory.

It happens that mlx4_en_activate_rx_rings overrides the variable that
keeps the size of the memory mapped.

This is fixed by passing to mlx4_en_destroy_rx_ring the same size that is
given to mlx4_en_create_rx_ring.

After applying this patch, hot unplugging the device works after opening
the interface.

Remove jump to out label that was skipping over code to replace the
ack bit in the mailbox cache variable.  This was causing driver mailbox
routines that poll for the PF to ack a message to time out which would
in turn cause all other mailbox messages to fail.  Also replace the
mailbox cache variable message indication bit when a message is found
so that other functions that choose to poll for a mailbox message from
the PF won't miss it.

RSS rings can be created on one (out of four) interfaces per port in a
multi-channel config. Doing this insulates the driver from a FW bug wherin
multi-channel config is wrongly reported even when not enabled. This also
helps performance in a multi-channel config, as one interface per port gets
RSS rings.

2b53d07891 pch_gbe: Do not abort probe on bad MAC
If the MAC is invalid or not implemented, do not abort the probe. Issue
a warning and prevent bringing the interface up until a MAC is set manually
(via ifconfig $IFACE hw ether $MAC).

Tested on two platforms, one with a valid MAC, the other without a MAC. The real
MAC is used if present, the interface fails to come up until the MAC is set on
the other. They successfully get an IP over DHCP and pass a simple ping and
login over ssh test.

This is meant to allow the Inforce SYS940X development board:
http://www.inforcecomputing.com/SYS940X_ECX.html
(and others suffering from a missing MAC) to work with the mainline kernel.
Without this patch, the probe will fail and the interface will not be created,
preventing the user from configuring the MAC manually.

This does not make any attempt to address a missing or invalid MAC for the
pch_phub driver.
