RFC 1122 does not have a section 3.1.2.2. The requirement to silently discard datagrams with a bad checksum is in section 3.2.1.2 instead.

Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit). There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow. This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO. An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO. In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue. The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow. In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most frequently with some small devices such as network printers that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be retransmitted in order to continue. I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla #10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com> had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure out.

That is typically done by providing a dummy pnp_driver structure that will not probe anything. The fallback routines in the driver will handle this dumber mode of operation too. This patch implements that. I have not tested whether this actually works on real hardware so take care. It does resolve the build bug.

The error path in ieee80211_register_hw() may call the unregister_netdev() and right after it - the free_netdev(), which is wrong, since the unregister releases the device itself. So the proposed fix is to NULL the local->mdev after unregister is done and check this before calling free_netdev(). I checked - no code uses the local->mdev after unregister in this error path (but even if some did this would be a BUG). Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Changeset 7f7c4072 ("niu: Determine the # of ports from the card's VPD data") caused maramba on-board NIU ports to stop probing properly. The old code had a fallback that would use a num_ports value of 4 if all the probing methods failed, but that was removed. This restores the fallback of 4 ports, to get things working again.

When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the 'dev_change_net_namespace' function, the 'device_rename' function is used to fixup kobject and refresh the sysfs tree. The device_rename function will call kobject_rename and this one will check if there is an object with the same name and this is the case because we are renaming the object with the same name. The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a mini "netdev_[un]register", IMO the functions 'netdev_[un]register_kobject' should be used instead, like an usual network device [un]registering. This patch replace device_rename by netdev_unregister_kobject, followed by netdev_register_kobject. The netdev_register_kobject will call device_initialize and will raise a warning indicating the device was already initialized. In order to fix that, I split the device initialization into a separate function and use it together with 'netdev_register_kobject' into register_netdevice. So we can safely call 'netdev_register_kobject' in 'dev_change_net_namespace'. This fix will allow to properly use the sysfs per namespace which is coming from -mm tree.

The new RV2P firmware fixes 2 issues: 1. The jumbo rx buffer page size is now configurable and set to the proper PAGE_SIZE. Before, it was assumed to be always 4K. 2. Driver sometimes would crash when receiving jumbo packets mixed with firmware management packets. This was caused by the old firmware DMA'ing to the wrong address.

On some remote PHY blade systems, the driver receives no initial link interrupt. As a result, the GMII/MII MAC mode does not get setup properly.

The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to 256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so the upper bits are lost when doing: brctl showmacs The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.

All variants of the 5714, 5715, and 5780 offer a feature called the "Universal Management Port". This feature is implemented in firmware and is largely transparent to the driver, except... It turns out that the UMP firmware needs to know the current status of the link. Because the firmware cannot touch the PHY registers while the driver is in control of the device, it needs the driver to report link status changes through an additional handshaking mechanism. Without this handshake, it has been observed in the field that the UMP firmware will not operate correctly. This patch implements the new handshake with the UMP firmware. Since the handshake uses the same mechanism ASF heartbeats use, code was added to detect and wait for completion of a pending previous event.

The MI clock is not configured correctly on adapters with the CPMU present. The tg3 driver has code which statically sets the MI clock to be a fraction of the speed at which the core clock is running. However, the CPMU can change the adapter's core clock frequency based on operating conditions. Consequently, the MI will run slow when the core's clock has been slowed down. There is a new 500KHz constant frequency clock available on adapters with a CPMU. This patch removes the static core clock scaling and configures the MI clock to use this new 500KHz clock instead. Running the MI clock at slower speeds will not directly result in data corruption, but it does challenge the PHY read and write routine timeouts.
