      r8169: remove the obsolete and incorrect AMD workaround · 5d0feaff
      Timo Teräs authored 
      This was introduced in commit 6dccd16b "r8169: merge with version
6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver". I did not find the version
6.001.00 online, but in 6.002.00 or any later r8169 from Realtek
this hunk is no longer present.

Also commit 05af2142 "r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC
rev d" claims to have fixed this issue otherwise.

The magic compare mask of 0xfffe000 is dubious as it masks
parts of the Reserved part, and parts of the VLAN tag. But this
does not make much sense as the VLAN tag parts are perfectly
valid there. In matter of fact this seems to be triggered with
any VLAN tagged packet as RxVlanTag bit is matched. I would
suspect 0xfffe0000 was intended to test reserved part only.

Finally, this hunk is evil as it can cause more packets to be
handled than what was NAPI quota causing net/core/dev.c:
net_rx_action(): WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight) to trigger, and
mess up the NAPI state causing device to hang.

As result, any system using VLANs and having high receive
traffic (so that NAPI poll budget limits rtl_rx) would result
in device hang.

      tuntap: limit the number of flow caches · b8732fb7
      Jason Wang authored 
      We create new flow caches when a new flow is identified by tuntap, This may lead
some issues:

- userspace may produce a huge amount of short live flows to exhaust host memory
- the unlimited number of flow caches may produce a long list which increase the
  time in the linear searching

Solve this by introducing a limit of total number of flow caches.

      tuntap: reduce memory using of queues · edfb6a14
      Jason Wang authored 
      A MAX_TAP_QUEUES(1024) queues of tuntap device is always allocated
unconditionally even userspace only requires a single queue device. This is
unnecessary and will lead a very high order of page allocation when has a high
possibility to fail. Solving this by creating a one queue net device when
userspace only use one queue and also reduce MAX_TAP_QUEUES to
DEFAULT_MAX_NUM_RSS_QUEUES which can guarantee the success of
the allocation.

      net: cdc_mbim: send ZLP only for the specific buggy device · 844e88f0
      Bjørn Mork authored 
      Reverting 328d7b8a and instead adding an exception for the
Sierra Wireless MC7710.

commit 328d7b8a (net: cdc_mbim: send ZLP after max sized NTBs)
added a workaround for an issue observed on one specific device.
Concerns were raised that this workaround adds a performance
penalty to all devices based on questionable, if not buggy,
behaviour of a single device:

 "If you add ZLP for NTBs of dwNtbOutMaxSize, you are heavily affecting CPU
  load, increasing interrupt load by factor of 2 in high load traffic
  scenario and possibly decreasing throughput for all other devices
  which behaves correctly."

 "The idea of NCM was to avoid extra ZLPs. If your transfer is exactly
  dwNtbOutMaxSize, it's known, you can submit such request on the receiver
  side and you do not need any EOT indicatation, so the frametime can be
  used for useful data."

Adding a device specific exception to prevent the workaround from
affecting well behaved devices.

The assumption here is that needing a ZLP is truly an *exception*.
We do not yet have enough data to verify this.  The generic
workaround in commit 328d7b8a should be considered acceptable despite
the performance penalty if the exception list becomes a maintainance
hassle.
