Currently the device must be down in order to update the rx-frames coalescing setting because the interrupt indicator is set in the descriptor data during initialization. Allow this setting to be changed while the device is up by moving the interrupt decision into the descriptor reset function and base the decision off of the supplied descriptor index value.

When an FDB entry is added or deleted the information about VLAN is not passed to listening applications like 'bridge monitor fdb'. With this patch VLAN ID is passed if it was set in the original netlink message. Also remove an unused bdev variable.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree. They are: * nf_tables set timeout infrastructure from Patrick Mchardy. 1) Add support for set timeout support. 2) Add support for set element timeouts using the new set extension infrastructure. 4) Add garbage collection helper functions to get rid of stale elements. Elements are accumulated in a batch that are asynchronously released via RCU when the batch is full. 5) Add garbage collection synchronization helpers. This introduces a new element busy bit to address concurrent access from the netlink API and the garbage collector. 5) Add timeout support for the nft_hash set implementation. The garbage collector peridically checks for stale elements from the workqueue. * iptables/nftables cgroup fixes: 6) Ignore non full-socket objects from the input path, otherwise cgroup match may crash, from Daniel Borkmann. 7) Fix cgroup in nf_tables. 8) Save some cycles from xt_socket by skipping packet header parsing when skb->sk is already set because of early demux. Also from Daniel. * br_netfilter updates from Florian Westphal. 9) Save frag_max_size and restore it from the forward path too. 10) Use a per-cpu area to restore the original source MAC address when traffic is DNAT'ed. 11) Add helper functions to access physical devices. 12) Use these new physdev helper function from xt_physdev. 13) Add another nf_bridge_info_get() helper function to fetch the br_netfilter state information. 14) Annotate original layer 2 protocol number in nf_bridge info, instead of using kludgy flags. 15) Also annotate the pkttype mangling when the packet travels back and forth from the IP to the bridge layer, instead of using a flag. * More nf_tables set enhancement from Patrick: 16) Fix possible usage of set variant that doesn't support timeouts. 17) Avoid spurious "set is full" errors from Netlink API when there are pending stale elements scheduled to be released. 18) Restrict loop checks to set maps. 19) Add support for dynamic set updates from the packet path. 20) Add support to store optional user data (eg. comments) per set element. BTW, I have also pulled net-next into nf-next to anticipate the conflict resolution between your okfn() signature changes and Florian's br_netfilter updates. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Alexander Duyck says: ==================== Replace wmb()/rmb() with dma_wmb()/dma_rmb() where appropriate, round 2 More cleanup of drivers in order to start making use of dma_rmb and dma_wmb calls. This is another pass of what I would consider to be low hanging fruit. There may be other opportunities to make use of the barriers in the Mellanox and Chelsio drivers but I didn't want to risk meddling with code I was not completely familiar with so I am leaving that for future work. I have revisited the Mellanox driver changes. This time around I went only for the sections with a clearly defined pattern. For dma_wmb I used it between accesses of the descriptor bits followed by owner or size. For dma_rmb I used it to replace rmb following a read of the ownership bit in the descriptor. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch should help to improve the performance of the mlx4 and mlx5 on a number of architectures. For example, on x86 the dma_wmb/rmb equates out to a barrer() call as the architecture is already strong ordered, and on PowerPC the call works out to a lwsync which is significantly less expensive than the sync call that was being used for wmb. I placed the new barriers between any spots that seemed to be trying to order memory/memory reads or writes, if there are any spots that involved MMIO I left the existing wmb in place as the new barriers cannot order transactions between coherent and non-coherent memories. v2: Reduced the replacments to just the spots where I could clearly identify the usage pattern.

We have: - A new driver for NXP NCI based chipsets, like e.g. the NPC100 or the PN7150. It currently only supports an i2c physical layer, but could easily be extended to work on top of e.g. SPI. This driver also includes support for user space triggered firmware updates. - A few minor st21nfc[ab] fixes, cleanups, and comments improvements. - A pn533 error return fix. - A few NFC related logs formatting cleanups. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

More recent GCC warns about two kinds of switch statement uses: 1) Switching on an enumeration, but not having an explicit case statement for all members of the enumeration. To show the compiler this is intentional, we simply add a default case with nothing more than a break statement. 2) Switching on a boolean value. I think this warning is dumb but nevertheless you get it wholesale with -Wswitch. This patch cures all such warnings in netfilter. Signed-off-by: David S.

Vitaly Kuznetsov says: ==================== hv_netvsc: linearize SKBs bigger than MAX_PAGE_BUFFER_COUNT-2 pages This patch series fixes the same issue which was fixed in Xen with commit 97a6d1bb ("xen-netfront: Fix handling packets on compound pages with skb_linearize"). It is relatively easy to create a packet which is small in size but occupies more than 30 (MAX_PAGE_BUFFER_COUNT-2) pages. Here is a kernel-mode reproducer which tries sending a packet with only 34 bytes of payload (but on 34 pages) and fails: static int __init sendfb_init(void) { struct socket *sock; int i, ret; struct sockaddr_in in4_addr = { 0 }; struct page *pages[17]; unsigned long flags; ret = sock_create_kern(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP, &sock); if (ret) { pr_err("failed to create socket: %d!\n", ret); return ret; } in4_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; /* www.google.com, 74.125.133.99 */ in4_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = cpu_to_be32(0x4a7d8563); in4_addr.sin_port = cpu_to_be16(80); ret = sock->ops->connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&in4_addr, sizeof(in4_addr), 0); if (ret) { pr_err("failed to connect: %d!\n", ret); return ret; } /* We can send up to 17 frags */ flags = MSG_MORE; for (i = 0; i < 17; i++) { if (i == 16) flags = MSG_EOR; pages[i] = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_COMP, 1); if (!pages[i]) { pr_err("out of memory!"); goto free_pages; } sock->ops->sendpage(sock, pages[i], PAGE_SIZE -1, 2, flags); } free_pages: for (; i > 0; i--) __free_pages(pages[i - 1], 1); printk("sendfb_init: test done\n"); return -1; } module_init(sendfb_init); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); A try to load such module results in multiple 'kernel: hv_netvsc vmbus_15 eth0: Packet too big: 100' messages as all retries fail as well. It should also be possible to trigger the issue from userspace, I expect e.g. NFS under heavy load to get stuck sometimes. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In netvsc_start_xmit() we can handle packets which are scattered around not more than MAX_PAGE_BUFFER_COUNT-2 pages. It is, however, easy to create a packet which is not big in size but occupies more pages (e.g. if it uses frags on compound pages boundaries). When we drop such packet it cases sender to try resending it but in most cases it will try resending the same packet which will also get dropped, this will cause the particular connection to stick. To solve the issue we can try linearizing skb. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

sfc: Own header for nic-specific sriov functions, single instance of netdev_ops and sriov removed from Falcon code By putting all the efx_{siena,ef10}_sriov_* declarations in {siena,ef10}_sriov.h, ensure they cannot be called from nic-generic code. Also fixes up an instance of this, where mcdi.c was calling efx_siena_sriov_flr. The single instance of netdev_ops should call general high level functions that can then call something adapter specific in efx_nic_type. We should only do adapter specialisation via efx_nic_type. Removal of sriov functionality from the Falcon code means that tests are needed for the presence of some callbacks. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah <sshah@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Alexander Duyck says: ==================== Replace wmb()/rmb() with dma_wmb()/dma_rmb() where appropriate This is a start of a side project cleaning up the drivers that can make use of the dma_wmb and dma_rmb calls. The general idea is to start removing the unnecessary wmb/rmb calls from a number of drivers and to make use of the lighter weight dma_wmb/dma_rmb calls as this should allow for an overall improvement in performance as each barrier can cost a significant number of cycles and on architectures such as x86 this is unnecessary. These changes are what I would consider low hanging fruit. The likelihood of the changes introducing an error should be low since the use of the barriers in these cases are fairly obvious. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Add a new "dynset" expression for dynamic set updates. A new set op ->update() is added which, for non existant elements, invokes an initialization callback and inserts the new element. For both new or existing elements the extenstion pointer is returned to the caller to optionally perform timer updates or other actions. Element removal is not supported so far, however that seems to be a rather exotic need and can be added later on.
