When pre-allocating skbs for received packets, we set ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNCESSARY. We used to change it back to CHECKSUM_NONE when the received packet had an incorrect checksum or unhandled protocol. Commit bc8acf2c ('drivers/net: avoid some skb->ip_summed initializations') mistakenly replaced the latter assignment with a DEBUG-only assertion that ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE. This assertion is always false, but it seems no-one has exercised this code path in a DEBUG build. Fix this by moving our assignment of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY into efx_rx_packet_gro().

This patch fixes a (mostly cosmetic) bug introduced by the patch 'ppp: Use SKB queue abstraction interfaces in fragment processing' found here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg153312.html The above patch rewrote and moved the code responsible for cleaning up discarded fragments but the new code does not catch every case where this is necessary. This results in some discarded fragments remaining in the queue, and triggering a 'bad seq' error on the subsequent call to ppp_mp_reconstruct. Fragments are discarded whenever other fragments of the same frame have been lost. This can generate a lot of unwanted and misleading log messages. This patch also adds additional detail to the debug logging to make it clearer which fragments were lost and which other fragments were discarded as a result of losses. (Run pppd with 'kdebug 1' option to enable debug logging.) Signed-off-by: Ben McKeegan <ben@netservers.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Marcell Zambo and Janos Farago noticed and reported that when new conntrack entries are added via netlink and the conntrack table gets full, soft lockup happens. This is because the nf_conntrack_lock is held while nf_conntrack_alloc is called, which is in turn wants to lock nf_conntrack_lock while evicting entries from the full table. The patch fixes the soft lockup with limiting the holding of the nf_conntrack_lock to the minimum, where it's absolutely required. It required to extend (and thus change) nf_conntrack_hash_insert so that it makes sure conntrack and ctnetlink do not add the same entry twice to the conntrack table.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit 0a5f3846 davinci_emac: Add Carrier Link OK check in Davinci RX Handler Said commit adds a check whether the carrier link is ok. If the link is not ok, the skb is freed and no new dma descriptor added to the rx dma channel. This causes trouble during initialization when the carrier status has not yet been updated. If a lot of packets are received while netif_carrier_ok returns false, all dma descriptors are freed and the rx dma transfer is stopped. The bug occurs when the board is connected to a network with lots of traffic and the ifconfig down/up is done, e.g., when reconfiguring the interface with DHCP. The bug can be reproduced by flood pinging the davinci board while doing ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 up on the board. After that, the rx path stops working and the overrun value reported by ifconfig is counting up. This patch reverts commit 0a5f3846 and instead issues warnings only if cpdma_chan_submit returns -ENOMEM.

This patch adds the PHY_HAS_INTERRUPT flag for IC+101 device series. Also the patch does a simple dity-up to signal that the driver actually is for IP101A LF and IP101G devices. In fact, these are two similar PHYs that have the same IDs and mainly differ for the EEE capability supported in the G series.

The code for ip1001_config_init() was totally broken if you were not using RGMII. Instead of returning an error code or zero it actually returned the value in the IP1001_SPEC_CTRL_STATUS_2 register. It was also trying to set the IP1001_APS_ON bit , but never actually wrote back the register. The error checking was also incorrect in both this function and the reset function, so this patch fixes that up in a consistent fashion.

In the current kernel implementation, the Logitech Harmony 900 remote control is matched to the cdc_ether driver through the generic USB_CDC_SUBCLASS_MDLM entry. However, this device appears to be of the pseudo-MDLM (Belcarra) type, rather than the standard one.

Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

When the fixed race condition happens: 1. While function neigh_periodic_work scans the neighbor hash table pointed by field tbl->nht, it unlocks and locks tbl->lock between buckets in order to call cond_resched. 2. Assume that function neigh_periodic_work calls cond_resched, that is, the lock tbl->lock is available, and function neigh_hash_grow runs. 3. Once function neigh_hash_grow finishes, and RCU calls neigh_hash_free_rcu, the original struct neigh_hash_table that function neigh_periodic_work was using doesn't exist anymore. 4. Once back at neigh_periodic_work, whenever the old struct neigh_hash_table is accessed, things can go badly.

ebt_among extension of ebtables uses __alignof__(_xt_align) while the corresponding kernel module uses __alignof__(ebt_replace) to determine the alignment in EBT_ALIGN(). These are the results of these values on different platforms: x86 x86_64 ppc __alignof__(_xt_align) 4 8 8 __alignof__(ebt_replace) 4 8 4 ebtables fails to add rules which use the among extension. I'm using kernel 2.6.33 and ebtables 2.0.10-4 According to Bart De Schuymer, userspace alignment was changed to _xt_align to fix an alignment issue on a userspace32-kernel64 system (he thinks it was for an ARM device). So userspace must be right. The kernel alignment macro needs to change so it also uses _xt_align instead of ebt_replace. The userspace changes date back from June 29, 2009.

I was recently shown that vmxnet3 devices on transmit, will drop very small udp frames consistently. This is due to a regression introduced by commit 39d4a96f. This commit attempts to introduce an optimization to the tx path, indicating that the underlying hardware behaves optimally when at least 54 bytes of header data are available for direct access. This causes problems however, if the entire frame is less than 54 bytes long. The subsequent pskb_may_pull in vmxnet3_parse_and_copy_hdr fails, causing an error return code, which leads to vmxnet3_tq_xmit dropping the frame. Fix it by placing a cap on the copy length. For frames longer than 54 bytes, we do the pull as we normally would. If the frame is shorter than that, copy the whole frame, but no more. This ensures that we still get the optimization for qualifying frames, but don't do any damange for frames that are too short. Also, since I'm unable to do this, it wuold be great if vmware could follow up this patch with some additional code commentary as to why 54 bytes is an optimal pull length for a virtual NIC driver. The comment that introduced this was vague on that. Thanks!

This driver attempts to use two TX rings but lacks proper support : 1) IRQ handler only takes care of TX completion on first TX ring 2) the stop/start logic uses the legacy functions (for non multiqueue drivers) This means all packets witk skb mark set to 1 are sent through high queue but are never cleaned and queue eventualy fills and block the device, triggering the infamous "NETDEV WATCHDOG" message. Lets use a single TX ring to fix the problem, this driver is not a real multiqueue one yet. Minimal fix for stable kernels.
