If a packet_type specifies an active slave to bonding and not just any interface, allow it to receive frames that came in on that interface. Signed-off-by: Joe Eykholt <jre@nuovasystems.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Allow a packet_type that specifies the exact device to receive even on an inactive bonding slave devices. This is important for some L2 protocols such as LLDP and FCoE. This can eventually be used for the bonding special cases as well.

It is wrong to destroy a bonding master from a context that uses the sysfs of that bond. When last IPoIB slave is unenslaved from by writing to a sysfs file (for bond0 this would be /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves) the driver tries to destroy the bond. This is wrong and can lead to a lockup or a crash. This fix lets the bonding master stay and relies on the user to destroy the bonding master if necessary (i.e. before module ib_ipoib is unloaded) This patch affects only bonds of IPoIB slaves. Ethernet slaves stay unaffected. Signed-off-by: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Jay Vosburgh authored
Refactor mii monitor. As with the previous ARP monitor refactor, the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case, removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code. This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases: an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase. The commit phase is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is only called when inspection finds something to change.

Some hardware set promisc when they are requested to set IFF_ALLMULTI flag. It's ok, but if drivers set IFF_PROMISC flag when they set promisc, it will broken upper layer handle for promisc and allmulti. In addition, drivers can use their own hardware programming to make it. So do not allow drivers to set IFF_* flags. This is a general driver fix, so I didn't split it to pieces and send to specific driver maintainers.

The dm9000 driver reads the chip's MAC address from the attached EEPROM. When no EEPROM is present, or when the MAC address is invalid, it falls back to reading the address from the chip. This patch lets platform code set the desired MAC address through platform data. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurentp@cse-semaphore.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Fix possible bug where end of receive buffer could be overwritten. The allocation needs to allow for the reserved space. This would only happen if device received packet greater than Ethernet standard MTU. Change this driver to use netdev_alloc_skb rather than setting skb->dev directly. For the initial allocation it doesn't need to be GFP_ATOMIC. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Introduce the speed_hi field to ethtool_cmd, using the reserved space, to expand the speed field to 2^32 Megabits/second. Making this field expansion now gives us plenty of time to fix up the user-space pieces that use SIOCETHTOOL before hardware faster than 64 Gb/s is available.

For NX3031, multicast filtering, promisc mode, and max frame size setting is handled by firmware, driver needs to send request to enable/disable it.
