Ethtool is a standard way of getting information about ethernet interfaces. We enhance ethtool kernel interface & e1000e to make the MDI-X status readable via ethtool in userspace. Signed-off-by:

e1000e_config_collision_dist() sets tctl, but subsequently tctl is overwritten. It seems to me that as things stand the call to e1000e_config_collision_dist() has no effect and should either be removed or moved down a little bit. This kernel patch takes the latter option. Signed-off-by:

Phy corruption has been observed on 2-port 82571 adapters, and is root-caused to lack of synchronization between the 2 driver instances, which conflict when attempting to access the phy via the single MDIC register. A semaphore exists for this purpose, and is now used on these designs. Because PXE &/or EFI boot code (which we cannot expect to be built with this fix) may leave the inter-instance semaphore in an invalid initial state when the driver first loads, this fix also includes a one-time (per driver load) fix-up of the semaphore initial state.

Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets. Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will follow. Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens. Signed-off-by:

Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 to increase schedulers time resolution. This will increase 16x a number of (internal) ticks per nanosecond, and is needed to improve accuracy of schedulers based on rate tables, like HTB, TBF or CBQ, with rates above 100Mbit. It is assumed this change is safe for 32bit accounting of time diffs up to 2 minutes, which should be enough for common use (extremely low rate values may overflow, so get inaccurate instead). To make full use of this change an updated iproute2 will be needed. (But using older iproute2 should be safe too.) This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.

Use PSCHED_SHIFT constant instead of '10' in PSCHED_US2NS() and PSCHED_NS2US() macros to enable changing this value later. Additionally use PSCHED_SHIFT in sch_hfsc SM_SHIFT and ISM_SHIFT definitions. This part of the patch is based on feedback from Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>. Reported-by:

commit f001fde5 (net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6)) added one regression Vegard Nossum found in its testings. With kmemcheck help, Vegard found some uninitialized memory was read and reported to user, potentialy leaking kernel data. ( thread can be found on http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/30/177 ) dev_addr_init() incorrectly uses sizeof() operator. We were initializing one byte instead of MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes. Reported-by:

This driver does not indicate support for frag lists. Furthermore, even if it did, the code is walking the frag lists incorrectly. The idiom is: for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = iter->next) but it's doing: for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = skb_shinfo(iter)->frag_list) which would never work. And this proves that this driver never saw an SKB with active frag lists. So just remove the code altogether and the driver TX path becomes much simpler. Signed-off-by: -

A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the broken remnants altogether. Here's a patch to restore proper locking in the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct all the time. This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip -- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface. Another theory is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral hardware as well as software. Either way this piece of code is buggy. Signed-off-by:

It is possible for tun_chr_close to race with dellink on the a tun device. In which case if __tun_get runs before dellink but dellink runs before tun_chr_close calls unregister_netdevice we will attempt to unregister the netdevice after it is already gone. The two cases are already serialized on the rtnl_lock, so I have gone for the cheap simple fix of moving rtnl_lock to cover __tun_get in tun_chr_close. Eliminating the possibility of the tun device being unregistered between __tun_get and unregister_netdevice in tun_chr_close. Signed-off-by:

BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &n->state)) was being hit during e100 EEH recovery. The problem source was a napi_enable call being made during e100_io_error_detected. Napi should remain disabled after e100_down, and only be reenabled when the interface is recovered. This patch also updates e100_io_error_detected in order to make it similar to the current versions of the error_detected callback in drivers such as e1000e and ixgbe. Signed-off-by:

I am working on enabling UFO between KVM guests using virtio-net and i have some patches that i got working with 2.6.30-rc8. When i wanted to try them with net-next-2.6, i noticed that virtio-net is not working with that tree. After some debugging, it turned out to be several bugs in the recent patches to fix aio with tun driver, specifically the following 2 commits. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=0a1ec07a67bd8b0033dace237249654d015efa21 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=6f26c9a7555e5bcca3560919db9b852015077dae Fix the call to memcpy_from_iovecend() in skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec to pass the right iovec offset.

skb_dma_unmap() is quite expensive for small packets, because we use two different cache lines from skb_shared_info. One to access nr_frags, one to access dma_maps[0] Instead of dma_maps being an array of MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 elements, let dma_head alone in a new dma_head field, close to nr_frags, to reduce cache lines misses. Tested on my dev machine (bnx2 & tg3 adapters), nice speedup ! Signed-off-by:
