We send packets using a copy-free mechanism (this is the Guest to Host transport via VMBUS). While this is obviously optimal for large packets, it may not be optimal for small packets. Hyper-V host supports a second mechanism for sending packets that is "copy based". We implement that mechanism in this patch. In this version of the patch I have addressed a comment from David Miller. With this patch (and all of the other offload and VRSS patches), we are now able to almost saturate a 10G interface between Linux VMs on Hyper-V on different hosts - close to 9 Gbps as measured via iperf.

mii_irq[] array is never initialized anywhere in the driver, thus mii_irq[] will always equate to zero. So, for the case where the PHY does not have an irq, we should use PHY_POLL for that situation.

This is a small supplement for commit e7428e95 ("virtio-net: put virtio-net header inline with data"). TCP packages have enough room to put virtio-net header in, but UDP packages do not. By setting dev->needed_headroom for virtio-net device, UDP packages could have enough room. For UDP packages, sk_buff is alloced in fun __ip_append_data. The size is "alloclen + hh_len + 15", and "hh_len = LL_RESERVED_SPACE(rt-dst.dev);". The Macro is defined as follows: #define LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) \ ((((dev)->hard_header_len+(dev)->needed_headroom)\ &~(HH_DATA_MOD - 1)) + HH_DATA_MOD) By default, for UDP packages, after skb is allocated, only 16 bytes reserved. And 2 bytes remained after mac header is set. That is not enough to put virtio-net header in. If we set dev->needed_headroom to 12 or 10 (according to mergeable_rx_bufs is on or off ), more room can be reserved. Then there is enough room for UDP packages to put the header in. test result list as below: guest and host: suse11sp3, netperf, intel 2.4GHz +-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | | old | new | +-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | UDP | Gbit/s | pps | Gbit/s | pps | | 64 | 0.57 | 692232 | 0.61 | 742420 | | 256 | 1.60 | 686860 | 1.71 | 733331 | | 512 | 2.92 | 674576 | 3.07 | 710446 | | 1024 | 4.99 | 598977 | 5.17 | 620821 | | 1460 | 5.68 | 483757 | 7.16 | 610519 | | 4096 | 6.98 | 637468 | 7.21 | 658471 | +-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ Signed-off-by: Zhang Jie <zhangjie14@huawei.com> Acked-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

Coverity CID 986698 reports leakage of struct wlcore_platdev_data in the probe functions of both the SPI/SDIO interfaces. The structure passed to platform_device_add_data() is dynamically allocated and only freed in the error paths, however, platform_device_add_data() adds a copy of the platform specific data to the device. Move the temporary struct that is kmemdup'ed to the stack. This issue exists since afb43e6d (wlcore: remove if_ops from platform_data).

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Jacob provides a i40e patch to remove ptp_tx_work() because it conflicts with the interrupt-based handler and will cause spurious warning messages to be displayed in the kernel log. Since the hardware can properly trigger an interrupt, we do not need to poll for an available timestamp in a work queue any more. Greg provides two patches for i40e, first to retain the MAC filter list when changing a port VLAN. Second fixes an issue where the function to set the VF MAC address was not taking the port VLAN filter into account when setting/clearing/resetting the VF's host administered MAC address. Mitch provides three patches for i40evf, first adds support for getting and setting RSS hashing options, RSS LUT entries, and getting the number of device channels from ethtool. Fixes a panic that woudl occur in the VF if the PF driver failed or was removed from the host kernel. Shannon adds driver version string to the driver version command so that can be passed down through the firmware to low-level NC-SI functions. Neerav provides several patches, first redistributes queue vectors after DCB reconfiguration because the total number of queues that are configured for a VSI may change based on a change in the total number of TCs enabled as a result of a change in the DCB configuration based on DCBX. Second, allows the driver probe to continue when querying DCB config fails. Lastly, provides changes to retrieve and store missing link config information that was not being cached in the struct i40e_link_status. Kevin provides a couple of patches, first to change a int variable type to u16 to avoid a typecheck failure. Second to update a function parameters to remove an argument which is no longer used. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit a89778d8 ("tipc: add support for link state subscriptions") introduced below possible deadlock scenario: CPU0 CPU1 T0: tipc_publish() link_timeout() T1: tipc_nametbl_publish() [grab node lock]* T2: [grab nametbl write lock]* link_state_event() T3: named_cluster_distribute() link_activate() T4: [grab node lock]* tipc_node_link_up() T5: tipc_nametbl_publish() T6: [grab nametble write lock]* The opposite order of holding nametbl write lock and node lock on above two different paths may result in a deadlock. If we move the the delivery of named messages via link out of name nametbl lock, the reverse order of holding locks will be eliminated, as a result, the deadlock will be killed as well.

The default queue for queueing modes prio_queueing_prec and prio_queueing_tos is supposed to be QETH_DEFAULT_QUEUE. However, neither mode will reset the default default_out_queue value when enabled, leaving a previously set value activate as the default. E.g. enabling one of the fixed queueing modes, e.g. no_prio_queueing:0, and successively switching to any of the prio_queueing_* modes will leave default_out_queue at the previous (wrong) value 0.

PTP Hardware Clock drivers specify a maximum frequency adjustment that their clocks can accommodate. Normally, user space programs will want to respect the advertised limits. However, no kernel or driver code checks that the dialed frequency offset is within the bounds, and out of range values can lead to surprising results.

The commit 3de0b592 ("ethtool: Support for configurable RSS hash key") introduced a new function ethtool_copy_validate_indir() with full iteration of the loop to validate the ring indices, which could be an overkill. To minimize the impact, we ought to exit the loop as soon as the invalid index occurs for the very first time. The remaining loop simply doesn't serve any more purpose.
