      net: mdio: of_mdiobus_register(): fall back to mdiobus_register() for !CONFIG_OF · 23a456f0
      Daniel Mack authored
      If CONFIG_OF is not set, make of_mdiobus_register() call
      mdiobus_register() instead of returning -ENOSYS.
      
      This way, we can just call of_mdiobus_register() from all DT-enabled
      drivers to handle the compat cases.

      Increment fib_info_cnt in fib_create_info() right after successfuly
      alllocating fib_info structure, overwise fib_metrics allocation failure
      leads to fib_info_cnt incorrectly decremented in free_fib_info(), called

      ====================
      qlcnic: Bug fixes.
      
      This patch series contain following bug fixes.
      
      * Fix panic where driver was accessing un-initialized crb_intr_mask
        in non Multi-Tx queue mode while dumping TX queue.
      * Do not set netdev->real_num_tx_queues directly from driver instead
        use kernel defined netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() API. Also notify
        stack about change in number of Rx queues.
      
      Please apply this series to net.

      Do not set netdev->real_num_tx_queues directly,
      let netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() take care of it.
      Do not overwrite netdev->num_tx_queues everytime when driver
      changes its Tx ring size through ethtool -L and also notify
      stack to update number of Rx queues.

      o In case of non-multi TX queue mode driver does not initialize "crb_intr_mask" pointer
        and driver was accessing that un-initialized pointer while dumping TX queue.
        So dump "crb_intr_mask" only when it is initilaized.

      jme: Fix DMA unmap warning · 76a691d0
      Neil Horman authored
      The jme driver forgot to check the return status from pci_map_page in its tx
      path, causing a dma api warning on unmap.  Easy fix, just do the check and
      augment the tx path to tell the stack that the driver is busy so we re-queue the
      frame.

      ====================
      net: ip: push gso skb forwarding handling down the stack
      
      Turns out doing the segmentation in forwarding was not a bright idea,
      there are corner-cases where this has unintended side-effects.
      
      This patch pushes the segmentation downwards.
      
      After this, netif_skb_dev_features() function can be removed
      again, it was only added to fetch the features of the output device,
      we can just use skb->dev after the pushdown.
      
      Tested with following setup:
      
      host -> kvm_router  -> kvm_host
        mtu 1500        mtu1280
      
      - 'host' has route to kvm_host with locked mtu of 1500
      - gso/gro enabled on all interfaces
      
      Did tests with all of following combinations:
      - netfilter conntrack off and on on kvm_router
      - virtio-net and e1000 driver on kvm_router
      - tcp and udp bulk xmit from host to kvm_host
      
      for tcp, I added TCPMSS mangling on kvm_host to make it lie about tcp mss.
      
      Also added a dummy '-t mangle -A POSTROUTING -p udp -f'
      rule to make sure no udp fragments are seen in the 'conntrack on'
      and 'virtio-net' case.
      
      Also checked (with ping -M do -s 1400)' that it still sends the wanted
      icmp error message when size exceeds 1280.

      net: ip: push gso skb forwarding handling down the stack · c7ba65d7
      Florian Westphal authored
      Doing the segmentation in the forward path has one major drawback:
      
      When using virtio, we may process gso udp packets coming
      from host network stack.  In that case, netfilter POSTROUTING
      will see one packet with udp header followed by multiple ip
      fragments.
      
      Delay the segmentation and do it after POSTROUTING invocation
      to avoid this.

      net: ipv6: send pkttoobig immediately if orig frag size > mtu · 418a3156
      Florian Westphal authored
      If conntrack defragments incoming ipv6 frags it stores largest original
      frag size in ip6cb and sets ->local_df.
      
      We must thus first test the largest original frag size vs. mtu, and not
      vice versa.
      
      Without this patch PKTTOOBIG is still generated in ip6_fragment() later
      in the stack, but
      
      1) IPSTATS_MIB_INTOOBIGERRORS won't increment
      2) packet did (needlessly) traverse netfilter postrouting hook.

      net: ipv4: ip_forward: fix inverted local_df test · ca6c5d4a
      Florian Westphal authored
      local_df means 'ignore DF bit if set', so if its set we're
      allowed to perform ip fragmentation.
      
      This wasn't noticed earlier because the output path also drops such skbs
      (and emits needed icmp error) and because netfilter ip defrag did not
      set local_df until couple of days ago.
      
      Only difference is that DF-packets-larger-than MTU now discarded
      earlier (f.e. we avoid pointless netfilter postrouting trip).
      
      While at it, drop the repeated test ip_exceeds_mtu, checking it once
      is enough...

      net: macb: Fix race between HW and driver · c8ea5a22
      Soren Brinkmann authored
      Under "heavy" RX load, the driver cannot handle the descriptors fast
      enough. In detail, when a descriptor is consumed, its used flag is
      cleared and once the RX budget is consumed all descriptors with a
      cleared used flag are prepared to receive more data. Under load though,
      the HW may constantly receive more data and use those descriptors with a
      cleared used flag before they are actually prepared for next usage.
      
      The head and tail pointers into the RX-ring should always be valid and
      we can omit clearing and checking of the used flag.

      Coverage data suggests that the unlikely case of receiving data while

      net: macb: Re-enable RX interrupt only when RX is done · 02f7a34f
      Soren Brinkmann authored
      When data is received during the driver processing received data the
      NAPI is re-scheduled. In that case the RX interrupt should not be
      re-enabled.

      net: macb: Clear interrupt flags · 6a027b70
      Soren Brinkmann authored
      A few interrupt flags were not cleared in the ISR, resulting in a sytem
      trapped in the ISR in cases one of those interrupts occurred. Clear all
      flags to avoid such situations.

      ip_tunnel: Set network header properly for IP_ECN_decapsulate() · e96f2e7c
      Ying Cai authored
      In ip_tunnel_rcv(), set skb->network_header to inner IP header
      before IP_ECN_decapsulate().
      
      Without the fix, IP_ECN_decapsulate() takes outer IP header as
      inner IP header, possibly causing error messages or packet drops.
      
      Note that this skb_reset_network_header() call was in this spot when
      the original feature for checking consistency of ECN bits through
      tunnels was added in eccc1bb8 ("tunnel: drop packet if ECN present
      with not-ECT"). It was only removed from this spot in 3d7b46cd
      ("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module.").
      
      Fixes: 3d7b46cd ("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module.")

      ====================
      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
      
      This series contains updates to e1000e only.
      
      David provides four fixes for e1000e, first is a workaround for a hardware
      erratum on 82579 devices which experienced packet loss in gigabit and 100
      speeds when interconnect between the PHY and MAC is exiting K1 power saving
      state.  Second expands the scope of a workaround to include i217 and i218
      parts as well to address over aggressive transmit behavior when connecting
      at 10Mbs half-duplex.  Next is to resolve a reported link flap issue on
      82579 parts which was root caused as an interoperability problem between
      82579 and at least some Broadcom PHYs in the Energy Efficient Ethernet wake
      mechanism.  Lastly, restricts the workaround of putting the PHY into MDIO
      slow mode to access the PHY id to relevant parts since this issue has been
      fixed on the newer hardware.

      e1000e: Restrict MDIO Slow Mode workaround to relevant parts · 2c982624
      David Ertman authored
      It has been determined that the workaround of putting the PHY into MDIO
      slow mode to access the PHY id is not necessary with Lynx Point and newer
      parts.  The issue that necessitated the workaround has been fixed on the
      newer hardware.
      
      We will maintains, as a last ditch attempt, the conversion to MDIO Slow
      Mode in the failure branch when attempting to access the PHY id so as to
      cover all contingencies.
