ipv6_sk_mc_lock rwlock becomes a spinlock. readers (inet6_mc_check()) now takes rcu_read_lock() instead of read lock. Writers dont need to disable BH anymore. struct ipv6_mc_socklist objects are reclaimed after one RCU grace period. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds in the plat_stmmacenet_data the init and exit callbacks that can be used for invoking specific platform functions. For example, on ST targets, these call the PAD manager functions to set PIO lines and syscfg registers. The patch removes the stmmac_claim_resource only used on STM Kernels as well.

According to Eric's suggestion: Disable local BHes to prevent a dead-lock situation between sch_direct_xmit() (Soft_IRQ context) and bnx2x_tx_int (called by bnx2x_run_loopback() - syscall context), as both are taking a netif_tx_lock().

Using dma_alloc_coherent() permits to use GFP_KERNEL allocations instead of GFP_ATOMIC ones. Its better when a machine is out of memory, because this allows driver to sleep to get its memory and succeed its init, especially when allocating high order pages.

The SELinux ip postroute code indicates when policy rejected a packet and passes the error back up the stack. The compat code does not.

Some of the SELinux netlink code returns a fatal error when the error might actually be transient. This patch just silently drops packets on potentially transient errors but continues to return a permanant error indicator when the denial was because of policy.

With the current default 'vepa' mode, a KVM guest using virtio with macvtap backend has the following limitations. - cannot change/add a mac address on the guest virtio-net - cannot create a vlan device on the guest virtio-net - cannot enable promiscuous mode on guest virtio-net To address these limitations, this patch introduces a new mode called 'passthru' when creating a macvlan device which allows takeover of the underlying device and passing it to a guest using virtio with macvtap backend. Only one macvlan device is allowed in passthru mode and it inherits the mac address from the underlying device and sets it in promiscuous mode to receive and forward all the packets.

Unloading pktgen module needs ~6 seconds on a 64 cpus machine, to stop 64 kthreads. Add a pktgen_exiting variable to let kernel threads die faster, so that kthread_stop() doesnt have to wait too long for them. This variable is not tested in fast path. Note : Before exiting from pktgen_thread_worker(), we must make sure kthread_stop() is waiting for this thread to be stopped, like its done in kernel/softirq.c Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
