Mark fixes a possible attempt to dereference a NULL pointer in ixgbe_probe(). Also changes some uses of strncpy to strlcpy when clearing is not needed to prevent information leakage. Jacob fixes a bug in the misuse of the list_for_each macro to loop over every entry in the bus_list. Instead of attempting to loop over the list from a random entry point, go up to the bus and use the real list_head entry point. This prevents the possible read or write of unallocated or incorrectly addressed memory. Then provides a patch to prevent the display of the minimum link qualification check if we might be in a virtual machine. This check is incorrect and misleading in this case, since we actually do not really know what the available bandwidth is. To do so, we simply check whether each function on the bus matches our device id. Carolyn adds a check and prints the error cause register value when the hardware detects a malformed packet to assist the user. Toralf Förster fixes a format mismatch in i40e which was found using cppcheck. Shannon adds nvmupdate support by implementing a state machine intended to support the userland tool for updating the device eeprom. Jesse fixes the extension header checksum logic for IPv6 in i40e and i40evf. Mitch reduces a delay in the i40evf driver where we do not need to delay an entire millisecond to get into our critical section. Kamil fixes an issue where access to the NVM was being blocked until a driver reset where a check for NVM related admin queue commands would not recognize that such a command was received and would not clear nvm_busy flag. Catherine fixes a couple of firmware API version errors. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 10f29808605118bee8666d4b2c776c07d04cdc0a
