A number of older ColdFire CPU based boards use NS8390 based network controllers. Most use the Davicom 9008F or the UMC 9008F. This driver provides the support code to get these devices working on these platforms. Generally the NS8390 based eth device is direct connected via the general purpose bus of the ColdFire CPU. So its addressing and interrupt setup is fixed on each of the different platforms (classic platform setup). This driver is based on the other drivers/net/ethernet/8390 drivers, and includes the lib8390.c code. It uses the existing definitions of the board NS8390 device addresses, interrupts and access types from the arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf8390.h, but moves the IO access functions into the driver code and out of that header.

As described in my patch series from the other day, we need to rearrange redirect handling so that the local initiators of packets (sockets, tunnels, xfrms, etc.) that implement the protocols compute the route and pass this down into the ipv4/ipv6 routing code. These changes here do so by implementing a new dst_ops->redirect method. No more do we have this funny code that tries several different sets of routing keys to try and figure out which route the redirect should actually be applied to. No more do we have the problem wherein TOS rewriting causes problems for us. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This introduce TSQ (TCP Small Queues) TSQ goal is to reduce number of TCP packets in xmit queues (qdisc & device queues), to reduce RTT and cwnd bias, part of the bufferbloat problem. sk->sk_wmem_alloc not allowed to grow above a given limit, allowing no more than ~128KB [1] per tcp socket in qdisc/dev layers at a given time. TSO packets are sized/capped to half the limit, so that we have two TSO packets in flight, allowing better bandwidth use. As a side effect, setting the limit to 40000 automatically reduces the standard gso max limit (65536) to 40000/2 : It can help to reduce latencies of high prio packets, having smaller TSO packets. This means we divert sock_wfree() to a tcp_wfree() handler, to queue/send following frames when skb_orphan() [2] is called for the already queued skbs. Results on my dev machines (tg3/ixgbe nics) are really impressive, using standard pfifo_fast, and with or without TSO/GSO. Without reduction of nominal bandwidth, we have reduction of buffering per bulk sender : < 1ms on Gbit (instead of 50ms with TSO) < 8ms on 100Mbit (instead of 132 ms) I no longer have 4 MBytes backlogged in qdisc by a single netperf session, and both side socket autotuning no longer use 4 Mbytes. As skb destructor cannot restart xmit itself ( as qdisc lock might be taken at this point ), we delegate the work to a tasklet. We use one tasklest per cpu for performance reasons. If tasklet finds a socket owned by the user, it sets TSQ_OWNED flag. This flag is tested in a new protocol method called from release_sock(), to eventually send new segments. [1] New /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes tunable [2] skb_orphan() is usually called at TX completion time, but some drivers call it in their start_xmit() handler. These drivers should at least use BQL, or else a single TCP session can still fill the whole NIC TX ring, since TSQ will have no effect.

Or Gerlitz reported triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE(delta < len); in skb_try_coalesce() This warning tracks drivers that incorrectly set skb->truesize IPoIB indeed allocates a full page to store a fragment, but only accounts in skb->truesize the used part of the page (frame length) This patch fixes skb truesize underestimation, and also fixes a performance issue, because RX skbs have not enough tailroom to allow IP and TCP stacks to pull their header in skb linear part without an expensive call to pskb_expand_head() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Cc: Erez Shitrit <erezsh@mellanox.com> Cc: Shlomo Pongartz <shlomop@mellanox.com> Cc: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In driver reload test there is a memory leak. The structure vlan_info was not freed when the driver was removed. It was not released since the nr_vids var is one after last vlan was removed. The nr_vids is one, since vlan zero is added to the interface when the interface is being set, but the vlan zero is not deleted at unregister. Fix - delete vlan zero when we unregister the device.
