2009-06-09net: add IEEE 802.15.4 socket family implementationSergey Lapin
Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets. Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will follow. Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens.

2009-06-09pkt_sched: Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6Jarek Poplawski
Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 to increase schedulers time resolution. This will increase 16x a number of (internal) ticks per nanosecond, and is needed to improve accuracy of schedulers based on rate tables, like HTB, TBF or CBQ, with rates above 100Mbit. It is assumed this change is safe for 32bit accounting of time diffs up to 2 minutes, which should be enough for common use (extremely low rate values may overflow, so get inaccurate instead). To make full use of this change an updated iproute2 will be needed. (But using older iproute2 should be safe too.) This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.

2009-06-09pkt_sched: Use PSCHED_SHIFT in PSCHED time conversionJarek Poplawski
Use PSCHED_SHIFT constant instead of '10' in PSCHED_US2NS() and PSCHED_NS2US() macros to enable changing this value later. Additionally use PSCHED_SHIFT in sch_hfsc SM_SHIFT and ISM_SHIFT definitions. This part of the patch is based on feedback from Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>.

commit f001fde5eadd915f4858d22ed70d7040f48767cf (net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6)) added one regression Vegard Nossum found in its testings.

2009-06-09be2net: Remove unnecessary frag list traversing.David S. Miller
This driver does not indicate support for frag lists. Furthermore, even if it did, the code is walking the frag lists incorrectly. The idiom is: for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = iter->next) but it's doing: for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = skb_shinfo(iter)->frag_list) which would never work. And this proves that this driver never saw an SKB with active frag lists. So just remove the code altogether and the driver TX path becomes much simpler. Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-06-08declance: Restore tx descriptor ring lockingMaciej W. Rozycki
A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the broken remnants altogether. Here's a patch to restore proper locking in the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct all the time. This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip -- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface. Another theory is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral hardware as well as software. Either way this piece of code is buggy. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-06-08tun: Fix unregister raceEric W. Biederman
It is possible for tun_chr_close to race with dellink on the a tun device. In which case if __tun_get runs before dellink but dellink runs before tun_chr_close calls unregister_netdevice we will attempt to unregister the netdevice after it is already gone. The two cases are already serialized on the rtnl_lock, so I have gone for the cheap simple fix of moving rtnl_lock to cover __tun_get in tun_chr_close. Eliminating the possibility of the tun device being unregistered between __tun_get and unregister_netdevice in tun_chr_close. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &n->state)) was being hit during e100 EEH recovery. The problem source was a napi_enable call being made during e100_io_error_detected. Napi should remain disabled after e100_down, and only be reenabled when the interface is recovered.

2009-06-08net: skb_shared_info optimizationEric Dumazet
skb_dma_unmap() is quite expensive for small packets, because we use two different cache lines from skb_shared_info. One to access nr_frags, one to access dma_maps[0] Instead of dma_maps being an array of MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 elements, let dma_head alone in a new dma_head field, close to nr_frags, to reduce cache lines misses.

Through a bug in the tun driver, I noticed that virtio_net is producing bogus hdr_len values. In particular, it only includes the IP header in the linear area, and excludes the entire TCP header. This causes the TCP header to be copied twice for each packet. (The bug omitted the second copy :) This patch corrects this.

2009-06-08qlge: Fix bug in firmware event handler.Ron Mercer
Each firmware mailbox command can have a different number of valid data elements. When waiting for a mailbox command to complete it the process passes it's element count and waits for the completion. It is possible that while waiting an unrelated firmware async event (AE) can arrive. When this happens, the handler will over write the element count with the value for the newly arrived AE. This can cause the mailbox command to not get all of it's data. This patch restores original mailbox count at the end of the handler.
