Eliezer and Todd provide patches to fix a potential issue found during code inspection. When bringing down an interface netif_carrier_off() should be one of the first things we do, since this will prevent the stack from queueing more packets to this interface. Yanir provides a fix for e1000e that was found in validating i219, where the call to e1000e_write_protect_nvm_ich8lan() is no longer supported in newer hardware. Access to these registers causes a system freeze in early steppings and is ignored in later steppings. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- df814d96edcb8b224ead0f64b380be10ce94f900
