Current netback uses gso_type to check whether the skb contains
gso offload, and this is wrong. Gso_size is the right one to
check gso existence, and gso_type is only used to check gso type.
Some skbs contains nonzero gso_type and zero gso_size, current
netback would treat these skbs as gso and create wrong response
for this. This also causes ssh failure to domu from other server.

====================
Please pull this batch of fixes intende for the 3.14 stream...
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"Here I have a fix from Eliad for the minimal channel width calculation
in the mac80211 code which lead to monitor mode not working at all for
drivers using that. One of my fixes is for an issue noticed by Michal,
we clear an already cleared value but do it without locking, so just
remove that. The other is for a data leak - we leak two bytes of kernel
memory out over the air in QoS NULL frames because those don't get a
sequence number assigned in the TX path."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"One more fix and an update for device IDs.
There is a bugzilla reported for the fix which is mentioned in the commit message."
Along with those...

The pci shutdown handler added in:
bnx2: Add pci shutdown handler
commit 25bfb1dd4b
created a shutdown down sequence without chip reset if the device was
never brought up. This can cause the firmware to shutdown the PHY
prematurely and cause MMIO read cycles to be unresponsive. On some
systems, it may generate NMI in the bnx2's pci shutdown handler.
The fix is to tell the firmware not to shutdown the PHY if there was
no prior chip reset.

Currently, the PF call to pci_enable_sriov from the PF probe function
stalls for 10 seconds times the number of VFs probed on the host. This
happens because the way for such VFs to determine of the PF
initialization finished, is by attempting to issue reset on the
comm-channel and get timeout (after 10s).
The PF probe function is called from a kenernel workqueue, and therefore
during that time, rcu lock is being held and kernel's workqueue is
stalled. This blocks other processes that try to use the workqueue
or rcu lock. For example, interface renaming which is calling
rcu_synchronize is blocked, and timedout by systemd.
Changed mlx4_init_slave() to allow VF probed on the host to immediatly
detect that the PF is not ready, and return EPROBE_DEFER instantly.
Only when the PF finishes the initialization, allow such VFs to
access the comm channel.
This issue and fix are relevant only for probed VFs on the hypervisor,
there is no way to pass this information to a VM until comm channel is
ready, so in a VM, if PF is not ready, the first command will be timedout
after 10 seconds and return EPROBE_DEFER.

There are known issues for switching the drivers between ECM mode and
vendor mode. The interrup transfer may become abnormal. The hardware
may have the opportunity to die if you change the configuration without
unloading the current driver first, because all the control transfers
of the current driver would fail after the command of switching the
configuration.
Although to use the ecm driver and vendor driver independently is fine,
it may have problems to change the driver from one to the other by
switching the configuration. Additionally, now the vendor mode driver
is more powerful than the ECM driver. Thus, disable the ECM mode driver,
and let r8152 to set the configuration to vendor mode and reset the

Macvlan currently inherits all of its features from the lower
device. When lower device disables offload support, this causes
macvlan to disable offload support as well. This causes
performance regression when using macvlan/macvtap in bridge
mode.
It can be easily demonstrated by creating 2 namespaces using
macvlan in bridge mode and running netperf between them:
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.0.0.1 () port 0 AF_INET

Socket Socket Message Elapsed

bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
87380 16384 16384 20.00 1204.61
To restore the performance, we add software offload features
to the list of "always_on" features for macvlan. This way
when a namespace or a guest using macvtap initially sends a
packet, this packet will not be segmented at macvlan level.
It will only be segmented when macvlan sends the packet
to the lower device.

This patch fixes a CPDMA RX Descriptor leak that occurs after taking
the interface down when the CPSW is in Dual MAC mode. Previously
the CPSW_ALE port was left open up which causes packets to be received
and processed by the RX interrupt handler and were passed to the
non active network interface where they were ignored.
The fix is for the slave_stop function of the selected interface
to disable the respective CPSW_ALE Port from forwarding packets. This
blocks traffic from being received on the inactive interface.

Amitkumar Karwar brings two mwifiex fixes, one to avoid a NULL pointer
dereference and another to address an improperly timed interrupt.
Arend van Spriel gives us a brcmfmac fix to avoid a crash during
scatter-gather packet transfers.
Avinash Patila offers an mwifiex to avoid an invalid memory access
when a device is removed.
Bing Zhao delivers a simple fix to avoid a naming conflict between
libertas and mwifiex.
Felix Fietkau provides a trio of ath9k fixes that properly account
for sequence numbering in ps-poll frames, reduce the rate for false
positives during baseband hang detection, and fix a regression related
to rx descriptor handling.
James Cameron shows us a libertas fix to ignore zero-length IEs when
processing scan results.
Kirill Tkhai brings a hostap fix to avoid prematurely freeing a timer.
Stanislaw Gruszka fixes an ath9k locking problem.
Sujith Manoharan addresses ETSI compliance for a device handled by
ath9k by adjusting the minimum CCA power threshold values.

Commit c14db2025 "bnx2x: Correct default Tx switching behaviour" supposedly
changed the default Tx switching behaviour, but was missing the fastpath change
required for FW to pass packets from PFs to VFs.

Only the first packet is currently handled correctly, but then
all others are assumed to have failed which is problematic. Fix
this, marking them all successful instead (since if they're not
then the firmware will have transmitted them as single frames.)
This fixes the lost packet reporting.
Also do a tiny variable scoping cleanup.

Some APs reject STA association request if a listen interval value exceeds
a threshold of 10. Thus, for example, Cisco APs may deny STA associations
returning status code 12 (Association denied due to reason outside the scope
of 802.11 standard) in the association response frame.
Fixing the issue by setting the default IWL_CONN_MAX_LISTEN_INTERVAL value
from 70 to 10.
