This patch adds a check and prints the error cause register value when the hardware detects a malformed packet. This is a very unlikely scenario but has been seen occasionally, so printing the message to assist the user.

This patch prevents the display of the minimum link qualification check if we might be in a virtual machine. This check is incorrect and misleading in this case, since we actually don't really know what the available bandwidth is. To do so, we simply check whether each function on the bus matches our device id. If it doesn't the most likely scenario is that we're directly assigned to a virtual machine.

Fix a bug in the misuse of the list_for_each macro to loop over every entry in the bus_list. Instead of attempting to loop over the list from a random entry point, go up to the bus and use the real list_head entry point. This prevents the possible read or write of unallocated or incorrectly addressed memory.

In ixgbe_probe, the code at label err_dma can dereference adapter when it has a NULL value. The check is there to avoid disabling a disabled device. When adapter is NULL, treat it as if the device is enabled, because it is enabled in that case.

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== I believe my recent set of RFC/patches [1] provided good visibility on where I would like to take eBPF subsystem. These two trivial patches is a first step in that direction: patch 1 - mechanical split of eBPF interpreter out of filter.c patch 2 - nominate myself as a maintainer for eBPF core pieces In the foreseeable future eBPF patches will be going through net-next, so put netdev as a primary mailing list [1] git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ast/bpf master ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, although IP_MULTICAST_ALL and IP_MSFILTER ioctl calls succeed on raw sockets, there is no code to implement the functionality on received packets; it is only implemented for UDP sockets. The raw(7) man page states: "In addition, all ip(7) IPPROTO_IP socket options valid for datagram sockets are supported", which implies these ioctls should work on raw sockets. To fix this, add a call to ip_mc_sf_allow on raw sockets. This should not break any existing code, since the current position of not calling ip_mc_sf_filter makes it behave as if neither the IP_MULTICAST_ALL nor the IP_MSFILTER ioctl had been called. Adding the call to ip_mc_sf_allow will therefore maintain the current behaviour so long as IP_MULTICAST_ALL and IP_MSFILTER ioctls are not called. Any code that currently is calling IP_MULTICAST_ALL or IP_MSFILTER ioctls on raw sockets presumably is wanting the filter to be applied, although no filtering will currently be occurring.

Jason Wang says: ==================== rx busy polling support for virtio-net This series introduces the support for rx busy polling support. This was useful for reducing the latency for a kvm guest. Instead of introducing new states and spinlocks, this series re-uses NAPI state to synchonrize between NAPI and busy polling. This grealy simplified the codes and reduce the overheads of spinlocks for normal NAPI fast path. Test was done between a kvm guest and an external host. Two hosts were connected through 40gb mlx4 cards. With both busy_poll and busy_read are set to 50 in guest, 1 byte netperf tcp_rr shows 127% improvement: transaction rate was increased from 8353.33 to 18966.87. Changes from V2: - Avoid introducing new states and spinlocks by reusuing the NAPI state - Fix the budget calculation in virtnet_poll() - Drop patch 1/3 from V2 since it was useless Changes from V1: - split the patch info smaller ones - add more details about test setup/configuration ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch converts to use the macro module_pci_driver, which makes the code smaller and simpler. Previously in this driver we are having driver version info will be printed log buffer based on whether the driver selected as module or statically into image itself. By using the module_pci_driver that part of the code removed. For the first time of the device init, we are making the version info to be printed once.

When timestamping received packets, rx_timestamp_work may be scheduled before the timestamps is received from the hardware resulting in the packet beeing delivered without the timestamp. This is fixed by changing the receive timestamp path: On receiving a packet that need timestamping, the rxts list is traversed. If a match is found, packet+timestamp are delivered, otherwise the packet is added to a rx_queue. When a timestamp arrives rx_queue is traversed and if a matching packet is found, it is delivered with the timestamp. Otherwise the timestamp is added to the rxts list for matching with packets arriving later. In case the hardware drops a timestamp, a workqueue regularly checks the queue for old packets and delivers them without a timestamp.

This patch adds the sfc driver code for implementing busy polling. It adds ndo_busy_poll method and locking between it and napi poll. It also adds each napi to the napi_hash right after netif_napi_add(). Uses efx_start_eventq and efx_stop_eventq in the self tests.

Amir Vadai says: ==================== Mellanox driver update Jul-22-2014 This patchset contains a fix by Eyal to fix a bug in mlx4_en with bonding alb/tlb mode. The second patch, by me, is an ethtool private flag that enable turning off the BlueFlame hardware feature. The last two patches, introduce a new low memory profile for mlx4_en and mlx4_core. This mode is useful when running from a limited resources environment, like kdump. This will reduce the memory consumed by both drivers from more than 100M to ~30M.

When port is down dev_addr is changed (e.g. by bonding) but current_mac is not touched. When port is up again, hash_mac is updated to dev_addr, but current_mac isn't. This leads to inconsistency between current_mac and mac_hash. Because of that, mlx4_en_replace_mac() fails to find current_mac in mac_hash. Fix is to reset current_mac to dev_addr when port is up - as we do for mac_hash. Signed-off-by: Eyal Perry <eyalpe@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Now that all the users of mvpp2_bm_bufs_free() have been fixed, we can safely clean the function prototype. The function is always called to release all the buffers in a BM pool, and the number of buffers freed is not needed. Therefore, we change the return to a void, and remove the "num" parameter. This is a cosmetic change, to make the code slightly cleaner. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

After a call to mvpp2_bm_bufs_free(), the caller usually wants to know if the function successfully freed the requested number. However, this cannot be done by looking into the BM pool count, because the current buffer count was updated by mvpp2_bm_bufs_free(). In fact, the current callers of mvpp2_bm_bufs_free() use it to release all the buffers in the pool, so we can fix this by simply checking if the pool is not empty.

Currently, the network interfaces that are not configured by the bootloader (using e.g. tftp or ping) can detect the link status but are unable to transmit data. The network controller has a functionality that allows the hardware to continuously poll the PHY and directly update the MAC configuration accordingly (speed, duplex, etc.). However, this doesn't work well with phylib's software-based polling and updating MAC configuration in the driver's callback. This commit fixes this issue by: 1. Setting MVPP2_PHY_AN_STOP_SMI0_MASK in MVPP2_PHY_AN_CFG0_REG in mvpp2_init(), which disables the harware polling feature. 2. Disabling MVPP2_GMAC_PCS_ENABLE_MASK bit in MVPP2_GMAC_CTRL_2_REG in mvpp2_port_mii_set() for port types other than SGMII. Signed-off-by: Marcin Wojtas <mw@semihalf.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
