Instead of invalidating all IPv6 addresses with global scope when one decides to use IPv6 tokens, we should only invalidate previous tokens and leave the rest intact until they expire eventually (or are intact forever). For doing this less greedy approach, we're adding a bool at the end of inet6_ifaddr structure instead, for two reasons: i) per-inet6_ifaddr flag space is already used up, making it wider might not be a good idea, since ii) also we do not necessarily need to export this information into user space.

When we set the iftoken in inet6_set_iftoken(), we return -EINVAL when the device does not have flag IF_READY. This is however not necessary and rather an artificial usability barrier, since we simply can set the token despite that, and in case the device is ready, we just send out our rs, otherwise ifup et al. will do this for us anyway.

Since we check for !ipv6_addr_any(&in6_dev->token) in addrconf_prefix_rcv(), make the token initialization on device setup more intuitive by using in6addr_any as an initializer.

Receiving unhandled notifications is most certainly not an error and should not be logged as one. Knowing that the device sends notifications we don't handle is useful for developers, but there is very little a user can do about this. The message is therefore just annoying noise to most users with devices sending unhandled notifications like e.g. USB_CDC_NOTIFY_RESPONSE_AVAILABLE Cc: Alexey Orishko <alexey.orishko@stericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds support for IPv6 tokenized IIDs, that allow for administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix from Router Advertisements. It is currently in draft status. The primary target for such support is server platforms where addresses are usually manually configured, rather than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenised identifiers, hosts can still determine their network prefix by use of SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should their network prefix change. [...] The disadvantage with static addresses is that they are likely to require manual editing should the network prefix in use change. If instead there were a method to only manually configure the static identifier part of the IPv6 address, then the address could be automatically updated when a new prefix was introduced, as described in [RFC4192] for example. In such cases a DNS server might be configured with such a tokenised interface identifier of ::53, and SLAAC would use the token in constructing the interface address, using the advertised prefix. [...] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02 The implementation is partially based on top of Mark K. Thompson's proof of concept. However, it uses the Netlink interface for configuration resp. data retrival, so that it can be easily extended in future. Successfully tested by myself.

recently many new supports have been added in the stmmac driver w/o taking care about where each new field had to be placed inside the private structure for guaranteeing the best cache usage. This is what I wanted in the beginning, so this patch reorganizes all the fields in order to keep adjacent fields for cache effect. I have also tried to optimize them by using pahole. V2: do not abuse with ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp and keep fields that potentially could stay in the same cache-line for better usage in SMP systems.

Using DT for mdiobus and ethernet-phy requires to know the PHY address, which is hard to guess if you don't know it. This patch extends of_mdiobus_register to scan mdiobus for PHYs if reg property of the corresponding node is not set. This also allows to have phy nodes in SoC DT files where the reg property can be overwritten in the board file later. To encourage people to finally set the actual phy address, the mdiobus scan is noisier than required. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Hesselbarth <sebastian.hesselbarth@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

On the MRF24J40, link-layer acknowledgment request and retry must be turned on explicitly for each packet. Turn this on in the hardware based on the FC_ACK_REQ bit being set in the packet.

Thanks, Mathias -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] TTY: ircomm, use GFP_KERNEL in ircomm_open() We're clearly running in non-atomic context as our only call site is able to call wait_event_interruptible().

Check for NULL before calling the following operations from "struct ieee802154_mlme_ops": assoc_req, assoc_resp, disassoc_req, start_req, and scan_req. This fixes a current oops where those functions are called but not implemented. It also updates the documentation to clarify that they are now optional by design. If a call to an unimplemented function is attempted, the kernel returns EOPNOTSUPP via netlink. The following operations are still required: get_phy, get_pan_id, get_short_addr, and get_dsn. Note that the places where this patch changes the initialization of "ret" should not affect the rest of the code since "ret" was always set (again) before returning its value.

Now that uids and gids are completely encapsulated in kuid_t and kgid_t we no longer need to pass struct cred which allowed us to test both the uid and the user namespace for equality. Passing struct cred potentially allows us to pass the entire group list as BSD does but I don't believe the cost of cache line misses justifies retaining code for a future potential application.

dev_queue_xmit() will return a positive value if the packet could not be queued, often because the real network device (in our case the mac802154 wpan device) has its queue stopped. lowpan_xmit() should handle the positive return code (for the debug statement) and return that value to the higher layer so the higher layer will retry sending the packet.

Increase the buffer length from 10 to 300 packets. Consider that traffic on mac802154 devices will often be 6LoWPAN, and a full-length (1280 octet) IPv6 packet will fragment into 15 6LoWPAN fragments (because the MTU of IEEE 802.15.4 is 127). A 300-packet queue is really 20 full-length IPv6 packets. With a queue length of 10, an entire IPv6 packet was unable to get queued at one time, causing fragments to be dropped, and making reassembly impossible.

Use netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue() to control the flow of packets to mac802154 devices. Since many IEEE 802.15.4 devices have no output buffer, and since the mac802154 xmit() function is designed to block, netif_stop_queue() is called after each packet.
