The generic implementation just changes the netdev struct and does not write the new mac address to the hardware or issues some command to do so. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Setting up IPv6 addresses on configurations with many macvlans is not really working, as many multicast messages are dropped. Add a multicast filter to macvlan to reduce the amount of cloned skbs and overhead. Successfully tested with 1024 macvlans on one ethernet device.

On 64 bit arches : There is a off-by-one error in qdisc_pkt_len_init() because mac_header is not set in xmit path. skb_mac_header() returns an out of bound value that was harmless because hdr_len is an 'unsigned int' On 32bit arches, the error is abysmal. This patch is also a prereq for "macvlan: add multicast filter" Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

skb_gso_segment() is almost always called in tx path, except for openvswitch. It calls this function when it receives the packet and tries to queue it to user-space. In this special case, the ->ip_summed check inside skb_gso_segment() is no longer true, as ->ip_summed value has different meanings on rx path. This patch adjusts skb_gso_segment() so that we can at least avoid such warnings on checksum. Cc: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Cc: David S.

Some modes don't require any special carrier handling so in these cases, the kernel can control the carrier as for any other interface. However, some other modes, e.g. lacp, requires more than just that, so userspace needs to control the carrier itself. The daemon today is ready to control it, but the kernel still can change it based on events. This fix so that either kernel or userspace is controlling the carrier.

Ivan Vercera was recently backporting commit 9c13cb8b to a RHEL kernel, and I noticed that, while this patch protects the tg3 driver from having its ndo_poll_controller routine called during device initalization, it does nothing for the driver during shutdown. I.e. it would be entirely possible to have the ndo_poll_controller method (or subsequently the ndo_poll) routine called for a driver in the netpoll path on CPU A while in parallel on CPU B, the ndo_close or ndo_open routine could be called. Given that the two latter routines tend to initizlize and free many data structures that the former two rely on, the result can easily be data corruption or various other crashes. Furthermore, it seems that this is potentially a problem with all net drivers that support netpoll, and so this should ideally be fixed in a common path. As Ben H Pointed out to me, we can't preform dev_open/dev_close in atomic context, so I've come up with this solution. We can use a mutex to sleep in open/close paths and just do a mutex_trylock in the napi poll path and abandon the poll attempt if we're locked, as we'll just retry the poll on the next send anyway. I've tested this here by flooding netconsole with messages on a system whos nic driver I modfied to periodically return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so that the netpoll tx workqueue would be forced to send frames and poll the device. While this was going on I rapidly ifdown/up'ed the interface and watched for any problems. I've not found any.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to e1000e and ixgbe. Majority of the patches are against e1000e, where Bruce makes several cosmetic #define moves into header files. In addition, Bruce does a cleanup of braces to resolve checkpatch warnings (when using the strict option). Ixgbe patches contain several fixes as well as updating the copyright. The fixes from Josh Hay, resolved a possible NULL pointer dereference and resolved Smatch warnings by fixing return values and memcpy parameters. Alex provides 2 fixes, the first is to replace rmb() with read_barrier_depends() in the Tx cleanup. The second fixes an MTU warning when using SR-IOV which corrects the fact that we were using 1522 to test for the max frame size in ixgbe_change_mtu and 1518 in ixgbe_set_vf_lpe. The difference was the addition of VLAN_HLEN, which we only need to add in the case of computing a buffer size, but not a filter size. Lastly, a patch from Emil which is based on a community patch from Aurélien Guillaume which adds functions needed for reading SFF-8472 diagnostic data from SFP modules. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

All in-tree ipv4 protocol implementations are now namespace aware. Therefore all the run-time checks are superfluous. Reject registry of any non-namespace aware ipv4 protocol.

When creating unmanaged tunnel sockets we should honour the network namespace passed to l2tp_tunnel_create. Furthermore, unmanaged tunnel sockets should not hold a reference to the network namespace lest they accidentally keep alive a namespace which should otherwise have been released. Unmanaged tunnel sockets now drop their namespace reference via sk_change_net, and are released in a new pernet exit callback, l2tp_exit_net.

l2tp_tunnel_create is passed a pointer to the network namespace for the tunnel, along with an optional file descriptor for the tunnel which may be passed in from userspace via. netlink. In the case where the file descriptor is defined, ensure that the namespace associated with that socket matches the namespace explicitly passed to l2tp_tunnel_create.

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/ethtool.c drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c net/ipv6/route.c The ipv6 route.c conflict is simple, just ignore the 'net' side change as we fixed the same problem in 'net-next' by eliminating cached neighbours from ipv6 routes. The e1000e conflict is an addition of a new statistic in the ethtool code, trivial. The vmxnet3 conflict is about one change in 'net' removing a guarding conditional, whilst in 'net-next' we had a netdev_info() conversion. The iwlwifi conflict is dealing with a WARN_ON() conversion in 'net-next' vs. a revert happening in 'net'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The rmb in the Tx cleanup path is a much stronger barrier than we really need.
