This patch addresses concerns about efficiency of handling incoming packets. Handling of interrupts is done in a threaded interrupt handler which has a smaller latency than workqueues. This change needed a rework of the locking scheme that was much simplified. Some other (more or less longstanding) bugs are fixed: utilization of just half of the RX buffers, useless wait for interrupt on open, more reliable reset sequence. The MERR interrupt is not used anymore: it overloads the CPU in error-passive state without any additional information. One shot mode is disabled because it's not clear if it can be handled efficiently on this CAN controller.

In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend with a character device with the same interface as the tun driver, with a minimum set of features. Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a handle for configuration and accounting, while the data goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its own character device, simplifying permission management significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

This makes it possible to hook into the macvlan driver from another kernel module. In particular, the goal is to extend it with the macvtap backend that provides a tun/tap compatible interface directly on the macvlan device.

In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may potentially belong to a different namespace. To make sure that classification stays within a single namespace, this resets the potentially critical fields. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch allocates the ring structures themselves on each NUMA node along with the buffer_info structures. This way we don't allocate the entire ring memory on a single node in one big block, thus reducing NUMA node memory crosstalk.

The default policy for the current driver is to do all its memory allocation on whatever processor is running insmod/modprobe. This is less than optimal. This driver's default mode of operation will be to use each node for each subsequent transmit/receive queue. The most efficient allocation will be to then have the interrupts bound in such a way as to match up the interrupt of the queue to the cpu where its memory was allocated.

This patch adds a call to pci_save_state() immediately after the call to pci_restore_state(). Due to a change in the behavior of pci_restore_state() it is necessary to call pci_save_state() to keep the state_saved flag. This patch is based on a similar patch for ixgbe.

Processing multiple ixgbe_watchdog_task calls may cause the link_up variable and IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_UPDATE flag to be set incorrectly. In the worse case this is causing the netif_carrier_off to be called inappropriately which results in an interface that can't be brought up. Although schedule_work() will only schedule the task if it is not already on the work queue the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING bits are cleared just before calling the work function. This allows WORK_STRUCT_PENDING to be cleared, the work function to start and meanwhile schedule another task. This patch adds a mutex to the watchdog task. This bug is actualized by changing DCB settings or doing extended cable pull or reset tests.

Commit e5a43549 (ixgbe: remove skb_dma_map/unmap calls from driver) looks to have introduced a bug in ixgbe_tx_map. If we get an error from a PCI DMA call, we loop backwards through count until it becomes -1 and return that. The caller of ixgbe_tx_map expects 0 on error, so return that instead.

SFC9000-family boards do not all use MDIO PHYs, so we need a different test for PHY aliveness. Introduce a PHY operation test_alive(). For PHYs attached to Falcon, use a common implementation based on the existing PHY MDIO test. For PHYs managed through MCDI, use the appropriate MCDI request. Change test name in ethtool from 'core mdio' to 'phy alive'. Rename test_results::mdio to phy_alive and test_results::phy to phy_ext.

This fixes commit (38ff3e6b) ("dccp_probe: Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probe", from 15 Jan). It fixes the construction of the first argument of try_then_request_module(), where only valid return codes from the first argument should be returned. What we do now is assign the result of register_jprobe() to ret, without the side effect of the comparison.

This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86c ("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array. This lead to error messages such as FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available >> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character. Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.
