enic driver currently passes 802.1p bits to the upper layers for packets tagged with non-zero vlan ids only. This patch extends such behaviour to zero vlan tagged packets also. The patch is dependant on the following kernel patches: 1) vlan_dev: VLAN 0 should be treated as "no vlan tag" (802.1p packet) - net-next-2.6 git commit: ad1afb00 - Available 2.6.36 and later 2) vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration. - net-next-2.6 git commit: 3701e513 - Available 2.6.37 and later Signed-off-by: Christian Benvenuti <benve@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Danny Guo <dannguo@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Vasanthy Kolluri <vkolluri@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roprabhu@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: David Wang <dwang2@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

CodingStyle "Chapter 12: Macros, Enums and RTL" recommends to use enums for several related constants. Internal states can be used without defining the actual value, but all values which are visible to the outside must be defined as before. Normal values are assigned as usual and flags are defined by shifts of a bit. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

When a link is saturated (re)broadcasts of OGMs are delayed. Under heavy load this delay may exceed the orig interval which leads to OGMs being dropped (the code would only accept an OGM rebroadcast if it arrived before the next OGM was broadcasted). With this patch batman-adv will also accept delayed OGMs in order to avoid a bogus influence on the routing metric.

Perf shows a relatively high rate (about 8%) race in spin_lock_irqsave() when doing netperf between external host and guest. It's mainly becuase the lock contention between the tun_do_read() and tun_xmit_skb(), so this patch do not put self into waitqueue to reduce this kind of race. After this patch, it drops to 4%.

The tun driver allocates skb's to hold data from user and then passes the data into the network stack as received data. Most network devices allocate the receive skb with routines like dev_alloc_skb() that reserves additional space for use by network protocol stack but tun does not. Because of the lack of padding, when the packet is passed through bridge netfilter a new skb has to be allocated. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Based on earlier patch from Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> If iSCSI is not supported on a bnx2 device, bnx2_cnic_probe() will return NULL and the cnic device will not be visible to bnx2i.

During NETDEV_UP, we use symbol_get() to get the net driver's cnic probe function. This sometimes doesn't work if NETDEV_UP happens right after NETDEV_REGISTER and the net driver is still running module init code. As a result, the cnic device may not be discovered. We fix this by probing on all NETDEV events if the device's netif_running state is up. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

During iSCSI connection terminations, if the target is also terminating at about the same time, the firmware may not complete the driver's request to close or reset the connection. This is fixed by handling other events (instead of the expected completion event) as an indication that the driver's request has been rejected.

Profiles show false sharing in addr_compare() because refcnt/dtime changes dirty the first inet_peer cache line, where are lying the keys used at lookup time. If many cpus are calling inet_getpeer() and inet_putpeer(), or need frag ids, addr_compare() is in 2nd position in "perf top".

Andi Kleen and Tim Chen reported huge contention on inetpeer unused_peers.lock, on memcached workload on a 40 core machine, with disabled route cache. It appears we constantly flip peers refcnt between 0 and 1 values, and we must insert/remove peers from unused_peers.list, holding a contended spinlock. Remove this list completely and perform a garbage collection on-the-fly, at lookup time, using the expired nodes we met during the tree traversal. This removes a lot of code, makes locking more standard, and obsoletes two sysctls (inet_peer_gc_mintime and inet_peer_gc_maxtime). This also removes two pointers in inet_peer structure. There is still a false sharing effect because refcnt is in first cache line of object [were the links and keys used by lookups are located], we might move it at the end of inet_peer structure to let this first cache line mostly read by cpus.

This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on. It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase. The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.

This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the fact that multiple issues have been found including: - Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed. - Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed - Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined. - Endianess wrong on displayed values. - Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am submitting this patch to remove it. v2: Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings - Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated - Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container - Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just return ops->set_rx_ntuple().

Padding per MSDU will affect the length of next packet and hence the exact length of next packet is uncertain here. Also, aggregation of transmission buffer, while downloading the data to the card, wont gain much on the AMSDU packets as the AMSDU packets utilizes the transmission buffer space to the maximum (adapter->tx_buf_size).

Instead of counting the number of packets in txq for particular RA list before AMSDU creation, maintain a counter which will keep track of the same. This will reduce some MIPS while generating AMSDU traffic as we only have to check the counter instead of traversing through skb list.

Shahar Levi authored
Some devices support BT/WLAN co-existence algorigthms. In order not to harm the system performance and user experience, the device requests not to allow any RX BA session and tear down existing RX BA sessions based on system constraints such as periodic BT activity that needs to limit WLAN activity (eg.SCO or A2DP). In such cases, the intention is to limit the duration of the RX PPDU and therefore prevent the peer device to use A-MPDU aggregation. Adding ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() callback that can be used by the driver to stop existing BA sessions. Signed-off-by: Shahar Levi <shahar_levi@ti.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
