With this patch in place, I'm successfully able to use the netconsole mechanism with the Calao USB-A9263 board, which uses the AT91SAM9263 CPU, which in terms of Ethernet controller is supported by the macb driver.

This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it, somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe. The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested ECN off. Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end enable really has some potential gain too. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Eric Dumazet. The common case is to have num-tx-queues <= num_rx_queues and even if num_tx_queues is larger it will not be significantly larger. Therefore, a subtraction loop is always going to be faster than modulus. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The kernel should only be using the high 16 bits of a kernel generated priority. Filter priorities in all other cases only use the upper 16 bits of the u32 'prio' field of 'struct tcf_proto', but when the kernel generates the priority of a filter is saves all 32 bits which can result in incorrect lookup failures when a filter needs to be deleted or modified.

LAN9512 and LAN9514 are USB hubs with an integrated 10/100 ethernet controller. Logically this looks like an ethernet controller (similar to LAN9500) permanently attached to one of the hub's downstream ports. This patch adds the usb device id of the new ethernet controller to the smsc95xx driver. This id is the same in both new devices.

SMSC LAN9500 has dual purpose GPIO/LED pins, and by default at power-on these are configured as GPIOs. This means that if LEDs are fitted they won't ever light.

When netconsole is loaded and a network interface fades away (e.g. on rmmod $interface_driver_module) the rmmod remains stuck and some locks are taken that prevent any additional module loading/unloading as well as interface up/down changes. In addition kernel logs (and console) get flooded at 10s interval with [ 122.464065] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1 [ 132.704059] unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1 This patch lets netconsole take NETDEV_UNREGISTER event into account and release the affected interface if it was in use.

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with all older kernel versions.

When skb_rx_queue_recorded() is true, we dont want to use jash distribution as the device driver exactly told us which queue was selected at RX time. jhash makes a statistical shuffle, but this wont work with 8 static inputs. Later improvements would be to compute reciprocal value of real_num_tx_queues to avoid a divide here. But this computation should be done once, when real_num_tx_queues is set. This needs a separate patch, and a new field in struct net_device. Reported-by: Andrew Dickinson <andrew@whydna.net> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
