This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize. So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL) Signed-off-by: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The bond send arp request to indicate that the slave is active, and if the bond dev is a vlan dev, it will set the vlan tag in skb to notice the vlan group, but the bond could only send a skb with 802.1q proto, not support for QinQ. So add outer tag for lower vlan tag and inner tag for upper vlan tag to support QinQ, The new skb will be consist of two vlan tag just like this: dst mac | src mac | outer vlan tag | inner vlan tag | data | ..... If We don't need QinQ, the inner vlan tag could be set to 0 and use outer vlan tag as a normal vlan group. Using "ip link" to configure the bond for QinQ and add test log: ip link add link bond0 bond0.20 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 20 ip link add link bond0.20 bond0.20.200 type vlan proto 802.1q id 200 ifconfig bond0.20 11.11.20.36/24 ifconfig bond0.20.200 11.11.200.36/24 echo +11.11.200.37 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target 90:e2:ba:07:4a:5c (oui Unknown) > Broadcast, ethertype 802.1Q-QinQ (0x88a8),length 50: vlan 20, p 0,ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 200, p 0, ethertype ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 11.11.200.37 tell 11.11.200.36, length 28 90:e2:ba:06:f9:86 (oui Unknown) > 90:e2:ba:07:4a:5c (oui Unknown), ethertype 802.1Q-QinQ (0x88a8), length 50: vlan 20, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 200, p 0, ethertype ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Reply 11.11.200.37 is-at 90:e2:ba:06:f9:86 (oui Unknown), length 28 v1->v2: remove the comment "TODO: QinQ?".

Since the early days TX stops if there isn't enough free pending slots to consume a maximum sized (slot-wise) packet. Probably the reason for that is to avoid the case when we don't have enough free pending slot in the ring to finish the packet. But if we make sure that the pending ring has the same size as the shared ring, that shouldn't really happen. The frontend can only post packets which fit the to the free space of the shared ring. If it doesn't, the frontend has to stop, as it can only increase the req_prod when the whole packet fits onto the ring. This patch avoid using this checking, makes sure the 2 ring has the same size, and remove a checking from the callback. As now we don't stop the NAPI instance on this condition, we don't have to wake it up if we free pending slots up. Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, if a VF's Rx Mode will be configured to support promiscuous mode the PF will comply, causing the VF to actually become promiscuous. This will enable the VF to see all unicast traffic which might be intended for other VMs, which we believe should not be possible. This patch will cause the hypervisor to ignore the VF's request for changes in its Rx mode (other than disabling it), preventing it from becoming promiscuous.

Since we now posses a workqueue dedicated for sriov, the paradigm that sriov- related tasks cannot sleep is no longer correct. The VFOP mechanism was the one previously supporting said paradigm - the sriov related tasks were broken into segments which did not require sleep, and the mechanism re-scheduled the next segment whenever possible. This patch remvoes the VFOP mechanism altogether - the resulting code is a much easier to follow code; The segments are gathered into straight-forward functions which sleep whenever neccessary.

The bnx2x sriov mechanisms were done in the bnx2x slowpath workitem which runs on the bnx2x's workqueue; This workitem is also responsible for the bottom half of interrupt handling in the driver, and specifically it also receives FW notifications of ramrod completions, allowing other flows to progress. The original design of the sriov reltaed-flows was based on the notion such flows must not sleep, since their context is the slowpath workitem. Otherwise, we might reach timeouts - those flows may wait for ramrod completion that will never arrive as the workitem wlll not be re-scheduled until that same flow will be over. In more recent time bnx2x started supporting features in which the VF interface can be configured by the tools accessing the PF on the hypervisor. This support created possible races on the VF-PF lock (which is taken either when the PF is handling a VF message or when the PF is doing some slowpath work on behalf of the VF) which may cause timeouts on the VF side and lags on the PF side. This patch changes the scheme - it creates a new workqueue for sriov related tasks and moves all handling currently done in the slowpath task into the the new workqueue.

The code which is dealing with SRIOV alias GUIDs in the mlx4 IB driver has some logic which operated according to the maximal possible active functions (PF + VFs). After the single port VFs code integration this resulted in a flow of false-positive warnings going to the kernel log after the PF driver started the alias GUID work.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of wireless updates intended for 3.15! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This has a whole bunch of bugfixes for things that went into -next previously as well as some other bugfixes I didn't want to rush into 3.14 at this point. The rest of it is some cleanups and a few small features, the biggest of which is probably Janusz's regulatory DFS CAC time code." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "One more pull request to 3.15. This is mostly and bug fix pull request, it contains several fixes and clean up all over the tree, plus some small new features." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "This is the NFC pull request for 3.15. With this one we have: - Support for ISO 15693 a.k.a. NFC vicinity a.k.a. Type 5 tags. ISO 15693 are long range (1 - 2 meters) vicinity tags/cards. The kernel now supports those through the NFC netlink and digital APIs. - Support for TI's trf7970a chipset. This chipset relies on the NFC digital layer and the driver currently supports type 2, 4A and 5 tags. - Support for NXP's pn544 secure firmare download. The pn544 C3 chipsets relies on a different firmware download protocal than the C2 one. We now support both and use the right one depending on the version we detect at runtime. - Support for 4A tags from the NFC digital layer. - A bunch of cleanups and minor fixes from Axel Lin and Thierry Escande." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "We were sending a host command while the mutex wasn't held. This led to hard-to-catch races." And... "I have a fix for a "merge damage" which is not really a merge damage: it enables scheduled scan which has been disabled in wireless.git. Since you merged wireless.git into wireless-next.git, this can now be fixed in wireless-next.git. Besides this, Alex made a workaround for a hardware bug. This fix allows us to consume less power in S3. Arik and Eliad continue to work on D0i3 which is a run-time power saving feature. Eliad also contributes a few bits to the rate scaling logic to which Eyal adds his own contribution. Avri dives deep in the power code - newer firmware will allow to enable power save in newer scenarios. Johannes made a few clean-ups. I have the regular amount of BT Coex boring stuff. I disable uAPSD since we identified firmware bugs that cause packet loss. One thing that do stand out is the udev event that we now send when the FW asserts. I hope it will allow us to debug the FW more easily." Also included is one last iwlwifi pull for a build breakage fix... For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Michal now did some optimisations and was able to improve throughput by 100 Mbps on our MIPS based AP135 platform. Chun-Yeow added some workarounds to be able to better use ad-hoc mode. Ben improved log messages and added support for MSDU chaining. And, as usual, also some smaller fixes." Beyond that... Andrea Merello continues his rtl8180 refactoring, in preparation for a long-awaited rtl8187 driver. We get a new driver (rsi) for the RS9113 chip, from Fariya Fatima. And, of course, we get the usual round of updates for ath9k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, wil6210, etc. as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
