IPv4 over firewire needs to be able to remove ARP entries from the ARP cache that belong to nodes that are removed, because IPv4 over firewire uses ARP packets for private information about nodes. This information becomes invalid as soon as node drops off the bus and when it reconnects, its only possible to start talking to it after it responded to an ARP packet. But ARP cache prevents such packets from being sent. Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

HTB takes into account skb is segmented in stats updates. Generalize this to all schedulers. They should use qdisc_bstats_update() helper instead of manipulating bstats.bytes and bstats.packets Add bstats_update() helper too for classes that use gnet_stats_basic_packed fields. Note : Right now, TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS shortcurt can be taken only if no stab is setup on qdisc. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For the VFs, the Mailbox Data "registers" are actually backed by T4's "MA" interface rather than PL Registers (as is the case for the PFs). Because these are in different coherency domains, the write to the VF's PL-register-backed Mailbox Control can race in front of the writes to the MA-backed VF Mailbox Data "registers". So we need to do a read-back on at least one byte of the VF Mailbox Data registers before doing the write to the VF Mailbox Control register.

Driver is reading flash fw version from defined address, this address may be invalid. Indeed Driver should read address for fw version through flash layout table. Flash layout table has defined region and address for fw version address should be read from fw image region. Driver has check for old firmware, this bug can cause driver load fail. This patch will try to read fw version from flash image region, if that fails, read from defined address. Signed-off-by: Amit Kumar Salecha <amit.salecha@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Dan Rosenberg pointed out that there were some signed comparison bugs in the phonet protocol. http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=129424528425330&w=2 The problem is that we check for array overflows but "protocol" is signed and we don't check for array underflows. If you have already have CAP_SYS_ADMIN then you could use the bugs to get root, or someone could cause an oops by mistake.

This change fixes several issues found in ntuple filtering while I was doing the ATR refactor. Specifically I updated the masks to work correctly with the latest version of ethtool, I cleaned up the exception handling and added detailed error output when a filter is rejected, and corrected several bits that were set incorrectly in ixgbe_type.h. The previous version of this patch included a printk that was left over from me fixing the filter setup. This patch does not include that printk.

This change adds a compressed input type for atr signature hash computation. It also drops the use of the set functions when setting up the ATR input since we can then directly setup the hash input as two dwords that can be stored and passed as registers. With these changes the cost of computing the has is low enough that we can perform a hash computation on each TCP SYN flagged packet allowing us to drop the number of flow director misses considerably in tests such as netperf TCP_CRR.

This change cleans up the layout of the flow director data, and the algorithm used to calculate the hash resulting in a 35x / 3500% performance increase versus the old flow director hash computation.

When disable the Rx logic globally, we would also want to disable the per Rx queue receive logic by per queue Rx control register RXDCTL so no more DMA is happening from the packet buffer to the receive buffer associated with the Rx ring, before we start unmapping Rx ring receive buffer. The hardware may take max of 100us before the corresponding Rx queue is really disabled. Added ixgbe_disable_rx_queue() for this purpose.

Some Phys supported by the driver do not remain powered off across a reset of the device when the interface is down, e.g. on 82571, but not on 82574. This patch powers down (only when WoL is disabled) the PHY after a reset if the interface is down and the ethtool diagnostics are not currently running. The ethtool diagnostic function required a minor re-factor as a result, and the e1000_[get|put]_hw_control() functions are renamed since they are no longer static to netdev.c as they are needed by the ethtool diagnostics. A couple minor whitespace issues were cleaned up, too.

In order to compute the features for other offloads (primarily scatter/gather), we need to first check the ability of the NIC to offload the checksum for the packet.

This switches skb_need_linearize() to use the features that have been centrally computed. In doing so, this fixes a problem where scatter/gather should not be used because the card does not support checksum offloading on that type of packet. On device registration we only check that some form of checksum offloading is available if scatter/gatther is enabled but we must also check at transmission time. Examples of this include IPv6 or vlan packets on a NIC that only supports IPv4 offloading. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Now that there is a single function that can compute the device features relevant to a packet, we don't want to run it for each offload.

Jesse Gross authored
netif_get_vlan_features() is currently only used by netif_needs_gso(), so it only concerns itself with GSO features. However, several other places also should take into account the contents of the packet when deciding whether to offload to hardware. This generalizes the function to return features about all of the various forms of offloading. Since offloads tend to be linked together, this avoids duplicating the logic in each location (i.e. the scatter/gather code also needs the checksum logic).

Jesse Gross authored
We currently only have software fallback for one type of checksum: the TCP/UDP one's complement. This means that a protocol that uses hardware offloading for a different type of checksum (FCoE, SCTP) must directly check the device's features and do the right thing ahead of time. By the time we get to dev_can_checksum(), we're only deciding whether to apply the one algorithm in software or hardware. NETIF_F_HW_CSUM has the same capabilities as the software version, so we should always use it if present. The primary advantage of this is multiply tagged vlans can use hardware checksumming.

Due to NLM_F_DUMP is composed of two bits, NLM_F_ROOT | NLM_F_MATCH, when doing "if (x & NLM_F_DUMP)", it tests for _either_ of the bits being set. Because NLM_F_MATCH's value overlaps with NLM_F_EXCL, non-dump requests with NLM_F_EXCL set are mistaken as dump requests. Substitute the condition to test for _all_ bits being set.
