[PATCH net] net: dsa: fix preparation of a port STP update

Because of the default 0 value of ret in dsa_slave_port_attr_set, a driver may return -EOPNOTSUPP from the commit phase of a STP state, which triggers a WARN() from switchdev. This happened on a 6185 switch which does not support hardware bridging. Fixes: 3563606258cf ("switchdev: convert STP

[PATCH] ixgbevf: Limit lowest interrupt rate for adaptive interrupt moderation to 12K

This patch is the ixgbevf version of commit 8ac34f10a5ea4 "ixgbe: Limit lowest interrupt rate for adaptive interrupt moderation to 12K" The same logic applies here as well as the same results since a netperf test will starve for memory in the time from one Tx interrupt to the next. As a result

[linux 3.14-stable] virtio-net: drop NETIF_F_FRAGLIST

From: Jason Wang commit 48900cb6af4282fa0fb6ff4d72a81aa3dadb5c39 upstream. virtio declares support for NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, but assumes that there are at most MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 fragments which isn't always true with a fraglist. A longer fraglist in the skb will make the call

[linux 3.14-stable] ipv6: addrconf: validate new MTU before applying it

From: Marcelo Leitner commit 77751427a1ff25b27d47a4c36b12c3c8667855ac upstream. Currently we don't check if the new MTU is valid or not and this allows one to configure a smaller than minimum allowed by RFCs or even bigger than interface own MTU, which is a problem as it

[linux 3.14-stable] RDS: verify the underlying transport exists before creating a connection

From: Sasha Levin commit 74e98eb085889b0d2d4908f59f6e00026063014f upstream. There was no verification that an underlying transport exists when creating a connection, this would cause dereferencing a NULL ptr. It might happen on sockets that weren't properly bound before
