We don't use the normal hotplug mechanism because it doesn't work. It will load the module some time after the device appears, but that's not good enough for us -- we need the driver loaded _immediately_ because otherwise the NIC driver may just abort and then the phy 'device' goes away.

Robert Hancock pointed out two problems about NETIF_F_HIGHDMA: -Many drivers only set the flag when they detect they can use 64-bit DMA, since otherwise they could receive DMA addresses that they can't handle (which on platforms without IOMMU/SWIOTLB support is fatal). This means that if 64-bit support isn't available, even buffers located below 4GB will get copied unnecessarily. -Some drivers set the flag even though they can't actually handle 64-bit DMA, which would mean that on platforms without IOMMU/SWIOTLB they would get a DMA mapping error if the memory they received happened to be located above 4GB. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/3/530 We can use the dma_mask if we need bouncing or not here. Then we can safely fix drivers that misuse NETIF_F_HIGHDMA. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Group all per-cpu data to one structure instead of having many globals. Also prepare the internals so that we can have multiple instances of the flow cache if needed. Only the kmem_cache is left as a global as all flow caches share the same element size, and benefit from using a common cache.

All of the code considers ->dead as a hint that the cached policy needs to get refreshed. The read side can just drop the read lock without any side effects. The write side needs to make sure that it's written only exactly once. Only possible race is at xfrm_policy_kill(). This is fixed by checking result of __xfrm_policy_unlink() when needed. It will always succeed if the policy object is looked up from the hash list (so some checks are removed), but it needs to be checked if we are trying to unlink policy via a reference (appropriate checks added). Since policy->walk.dead is written exactly once, it no longer needs to be protected with a write lock.

The head element of rt6_info{} is dst_entry{}, and IPv6 specific elements follow. Because elements at the end of dst_entry{} are frequently updated, it is not good to put frequently-used static elements, such as rt6i_idev, rt6i_dst or rt6i_flags in the same cache line. On the other hand, fib6_table, rt6i_node or rt6i_gateway are rarely used, so it is okay to stay in the same cache line. Let's rearrange rt6_info{}.

In case a reset is performed, rtl8169_rx_interrupt() is called from process context instead of softirq context.

One of my test machine got a deadlock during "tc" sessions, adding/deleting classes & filters, using traffic estimators. After some analysis, I believe we have a potential use after free case in est_timer() : spin_lock(e->stats_lock); << HERE >> read_lock(&est_lock); if (e->bstats == NULL) << TEST >> goto skip; Test is done a bit late, because after estimator is killed, and before rcu grace period elapsed, we might already have freed/reuse memory where e->stats_locks points to (some qdisc->q.lock) A possible fix is to respect a rcu grace period at Qdisc dismantle time. On 64bit, sizeof(struct Qdisc) is exactly 192 bytes. Adding 16 bytes to it (for struct rcu_head) is a problem because it might change performance, given QDISC_ALIGNTO is 32 bytes. This is why I also change QDISC_ALIGNTO to 64 bytes, to satisfy most current alignment requirements. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

addr_bit_test() is used in various places in IPv6 routing table subsystem. It checks if the given fn_bit is set, where fn_bit counts bits from MSB in words in network-order. fn_bit : 0 .... 31 32 .... 64 65 .... 95 96 ....127 fn_bit >> 5 gives offset of word, and (~fn_bit & 0x1f) gives count from LSB in the network-endian word in question. fn_bit >> 5 : 0 1 2 3 ~fn_bit & 0x1f: 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 Thus, the mask was generated as htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)). This can be optimized by "sweezle" (See include/asm-generic/bitops/le.h). In little-endian, htonl(1 << bit) = 1 << (bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) where BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is (0x1f & ~7) So, htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)) = 1 << ((~fn_bit & 0x1f) ^ (0x1f & ~7)) = 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ ~7) & 0x1f) = 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f) In big-endian, BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is equal to 0. 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f) = 1 << ((~fn_bit) & 0x1f) = htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)) Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
