For z/VM GuestLAN or VSWITCH devices the transport layer is configured in z/VM. The layer2 attribute of a participating Linux device has to match the z/VM definition. In case of a mismatch Linux currently crashes in qeth recovery due to a reference to the not yet existing net_device. Solution: add a check for existence of net_device and add a message pointing to the mismatch of layer definitions in Linux and z/VM. Signed-off-by:

Since commit ca109491 ("hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes") the hrtimer callbacks are processed only in hardirq context. This patch moves some functionality into tasklets to run in softirq context. Additionally some duplicated code was removed in bcm_rx_thr_flush() and an avoidable memcpy was removed from bcm_rx_handler(). Signed-off-by:

From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org> Commit b4730016 "Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device. Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on __LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3], and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link, I don't know if and when it may get set.) The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time out the first time. The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call entirely as the previous fix did. (sorry it isn't inline, I don't have a patch friendly email client at the moment) Signed-off-by:

Ron Mercer authored
Shadow registers are consistent memory locations to which the chip echos ring indexes in little endian format. These values need to be endian swapped before referencing. Note: The register pointer declaration uses the volatile modifier which causes warnings in checkpatch. Per Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt: - Pointers to data structures in coherent memory which might be modified by I/O devices can, sometimes, legitimately be volatile. A ring buffer used by a network adapter, where that adapter changes pointers to indicate which descriptors have been processed, is an example of this type of situation. Signed-off-by: -

This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags) in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list. It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's lro_receive_frags interface. The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed there. The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation. If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now. Signed-off-by:

In order to allow GRO packets without frag_list at all, we need to store the MSS in the packet itself. The obvious place is gso_size. The only thing to watch out for is if the packet ends up not being GRO then we need to clear gso_size before pushing the packet into the stack. Signed-off-by:

Firmware blob looks like this... u8 firmware_major u8 firmware_minor u8 firmware_fix u8 pad __be32 start_address __be32 length (total, including BSS sections to be zeroed) data... (in __be32 words, which is native for the firmware) Signed-off-by: -
Jaswinder Singh authored
We store the firmware in its native big-endian form now, so the loop in ace_copy() is modified to use be32_to_cpup() when writing it out. We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were clearing all the device's RAM anyway. And the text,rodata,data sections can all be loaded as a single chunk since they're contiguous (give or take a few dozen bytes in between). Signed-off-by:

Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky. The core problem is that on a network with lots of active multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does in ineffective because route entries hold a reference to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate entries with no references. IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS). So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side. Tested-by:

When we converted the protocol atomic counters such as the orphan count and the total socket count deadlocks were introduced due to the mismatch in BH status of the spots that used the percpu counter operations. Based on the diagnosis and patch by Peter Zijlstra, this patch fixes these issues by disabling BH where we may be in process context. Reported-by:

In future all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit numbers < nr_cpu_ids. So use that instead of NR_CPUS in iterators and other comparisons. This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot. Signed-off-by:

This set of patches introduces calls to the following set of functions: usb_endpoint_dir_in(epd) usb_endpoint_dir_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_bulk_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_bulk_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_int_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_int_out(epd) usb_endpoint_num(epd) usb_endpoint_type(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_control(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_int(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc(epd) In some cases, introducing one of these functions is not possible, and it just replaces an explicit integer value by one of the following constants: USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_BULK USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_CONTROL USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_INT USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_ISOC In drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c the code: (endpoint->bEndpointAddress & USB_TYPE_MASK) == USB_DIR_OUT is suspicious. If it is intended to use USB_ENDPOINT_DIR_MASK rather than USB_TYPE_MASK, then the whole conditional test could be converted to a call to usb_endpoint_is_bulk_in.

in drivers/net/eexpress.c:558, function unstick_cu() while (!SCB_complete(rsst=scb_status(dev))) { ... if (...) printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: Reset timed out status %04x, retrying...\n", dev->name,rsst); } but this will become while (!((rsst = scb_status(dev) & 0x8000) != 0) ... because of the macro: #define SCB_complete(s) ((s&0x8000)!=0) so rsst can only become either 0x8000 or 0, but in the latter case the loop ends, I think the wrong timed out status is printed. This also cleans up similar macros. Signed-off-by: -

During network namespace teardown we either move or delete all of the network devices associated with a network namespace. In the case of veth devices deleting one will also delete it's pair device. If both devices are in the same network namespace then for_each_netdev_safe is insufficient as next may point to the second veth device we have deleted. To avoid problems I do what we do in __rtnl_kill_links and restart the scan of the device list, after we have deleted a device. Currently dev_change_netnamespace does not appear to suffer from this problem, but wireless devices are also paired and likely should be moved between network namespaces together. So I have errored on the side of caution and restart the scan of the network devices in that case as well. Signed-off-by:
