Currently when we have a signal pending we have the functionality to restart that the current system call. There are other cases such as nasty lock ordering issues where it makes sense to have a simple fix that uses try lock and restarts the system call. Buying time to figure out how to rework the locking strategy. Signed-off-by:

New packet socket feature that makes packet socket more efficient for transmission. - It reduces number of system call through a PACKET_TX_RING mechanism, based on PACKET_RX_RING (Circular buffer allocated in kernel space which is mmapped from user space). - It minimizes CPU copy using fragmented SKB (almost zero copy).

gen_estimator can overflow bps (bytes per second) with Gb links, while it was designed with a u32 API, with a theorical limit of 34360Mbit (2^32 bytes) Using 64 bit intermediate avbps/brate counters can allow us to reach this theorical limit. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the generic Socket-CAN driver for the Philips SJA1000 full CAN controller. Signed-off-by:

Wolfgang Grandegger authored
The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko. Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite. For further information please check "Documentation/networking/can.txt" Signed-off-by:

Add support for TI DaVinci EMAC driver. TI DaVinci Ethernet Media Access Controller module is based upon TI CPPI 3.0 DMA engine and supports 10/100 Mbps on all and Gigabit modes on some TI devices. It supports MII/RMII and has up to 8Kbytes of internal descriptor memory. This driver has been working on several TI devices including DM644x, DM646x and DA830 platforms. The specs of this device are available at: http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/sprue24aSigned-off-by:

We can update netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped counters instead of dev->stats ones, to reduce number of cache lines dirtied in xmit path. This fixes a performance problem on SMP when many different cpus take vlan tx path. Signed-off-by:

offsetof(struct net_device, features)=0x44 offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_packets)=0x54 offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_bytes)=0x5c offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_dropped)=0x6c Network drivers that touch dev->stats.tx_packets/stats.tx_bytes in their tx path can slow down SMP operations, since they dirty a cache line that should stay shared (dev->features is needed in rx and tx paths) We could move away stats field in net_device but it wont help that much. (Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only) Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and counters updates will then be free (no increase in size) Signed-off-by:

Commit 518a09ef (tcp: Fix recvmsg MSG_PEEK influence of blocking behavior) lets the loop run longer than the race check did previously expect, so we need to be more careful with this check and consider the work we have been doing. I tried my best to deal with urg hole madness too which happens here: if (!sock_flag(sk, SOCK_URGINLINE)) { ++*seq; ... by using additional offset by one but I certainly have very little interest in testing that part.

After 2.6.29, PPC no more admits passing NULL to the dev parameter of the DMA API. The result is a BUG followed by solid lock-up when the mv643xx_eth driver brings an interface up.

One of the purposes of bonding is to allow for redundant links, and failover correctly if the cable is pulled. If all the members of a bonded device have no carrier present, the bonded device itself needs to report no carrier present to user space so management tools (like routing daemons) can respond. Bonding in 802.3ad mode does not work correctly for this because it incorrectly chooses a link that is down as a possible aggregator. Signed-off-by:

If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all packets for the first 20 seconds. This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes: * forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate user wants to always flood packets * optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial timer tick The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if kernel STP is not being used.

Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned off. This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on) from being able to detect loops in the network. With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP multicast group address is forwarded to all ports. Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization that only last octet needs to be checked. Signed-off-by:

82599 supports using either link flow control or priority flow control when in DCB mode. The dcbnl interface already supports sending down configurations through rtnetlink that can enable LFC when DCB is enabled, so the driver should take advantage of this. 82598 does not support using LFC when DCB is enabled, so explicitly disable it when we're in DCB mode. This means we always run in PFC mode when DCB is enabled. Signed-off-by:

If we can find a type NETDEV_HW_ADDR_T_SAN mac address from the corresponding netdev for a fcoe interface then sets up added the fc->ctlr.spma flag and stores spma mode address in ctl_src_addr. In case the spma flag is set then:- 1. Adds spma mode MAC address in ctl_src_addr as secondary MAC address, the FLOGI for FIP and pre-FIP will go out using this address. 2. Cleans up stored spma MAC address in ctl_src_addr in fcoe_netdev_cleanup. 3. Sets up spma bit in fip_flags for FIP solicitations along with exiting FPMA bit setting. 4. Initialize the FLOGI FIP MAC descriptor to stored spma MAC address in ctl_src_addr. This is used as proposed FCoE MAC address from initiator along with both SPMA and FPMA bit set in FIP solicitation, in response the switch may grant any FPMA or SPMA mode MAC address to initiator. Removes FIP descriptor type checking against ELS type ELS_FLOGI in fcoe_ctlr_encaps to update a FIP MAC descriptor, instead now checks against FIP_DT_FLOGI. I've tested this with available FPMA-only FCoE switch but since data_src_addr is updated using same old code for both FPMA and SPMA modes with FIP or pre-FIP links, so added SPMA mode will work with SPMA-only switch also provided that switch grants a valid MAC address.
