2009-09-04can: sja1000: legacy SJA1000 ISA bus driverWolfgang Grandegger
This patch adds support for legacy SJA1000 CAN controllers on the ISA or PC-104 bus. The I/O port or memory address and the IRQ number must be specified via module parameters: insmod sja1000_isa.ko port=0x310,0x380 irq=7,11 for ISA devices using I/O ports or: insmod sja1000_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 for memory mapped ISA devices. Indirect access via address and data port is supported as well: insmod sja1000_isa.ko port=0x310,0x380 indirect=1 irq=7,11 Here is a full list of the supported module parameters: port:I/O port number (array of ulong) mem:I/O memory address (array of ulong) indirect:Indirect access via address and data port (array of byte) irq:IRQ number (array of int) clk:External oscillator clock frequency (default=16000000 [16 MHz]) (array of int) cdr:Clock divider register (default=0x48 [CDR_CBP | CDR_CLK_OFF]) (array of byte) ocr:Output clock register (default=0x18 [OCR_TX0_PUSHPULL]) (array of byte) Note: for clk, cdr, ocr, the first argument re-defines the default for all other devices, e.g.: insmod sja1000_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 clk=24000000 is equivalent to insmod sja1000_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 \ clk=24000000,24000000 Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Tested-by: Oliver Hartkopp <oliver@hartkopp.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Noticed by Stephen Rothwell: Today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig gcc-4.4.0) produced this warning: drivers/net/wan/dscc4.c: In function 'dscc4_rx_skb': drivers/net/wan/dscc4.c:670: warning: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand of '|' which actually points out a bug, I think. It is doing (x & (y | z)) != y | z when it probably means (x & (y | z)) != (y | z) Introduced by commit 5de3fcab91b0e1809eec030355d15801daf25083 ("WAN: bit and/or confusion"). Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-09-03ipv6: Fix tcp_v6_send_response(): it didn't set skb transport headerCosmin Ratiu
Here is a patch which fixes an issue observed when using TCP over IPv6 and AH from IPsec. When a connection gets closed the 4-way method and the last ACK from the server gets dropped, the subsequent FINs from the client do not get ACKed because tcp_v6_send_response does not set the transport header pointer. This causes ah6_output to try to allocate a lot of memory, which typically fails, so the ACKs never make it out of the stack. I have reproduced the problem on kernel 2.6.7, but after looking at the latest kernel it seems the problem is still there. Signed-off-by: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-09-03macvlan: add multiqueue capabilityEric Dumazet
macvlan devices are currently not multi-queue capable.

Because macvlan_start_xmit() has to update netdev_queue stats only (and not dev->stats), I chose to change tx_errors/tx_aborted_errors accounting to tx_dropped, since netdev_queue structure doesnt define tx_errors / tx_aborted_errors.

This patch adds support for multiple transmit queues to the Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) feature found in 82599. Currently, FCoE has multiple Rx queues available, along with a redirection table, that helps distribute the I/O load across multiple CPUs based on the FC exchange ID. To make this the most effective, we need to provide the same layout of transmit queues to match receive. Particularly, when Data Center Bridging (DCB) is enabled, the designated traffic class for FCoE can have dedicated queues for just FCoE traffic, while not affecting any other type of traffic flow.

2009-09-02NET: Fix possible corruption in bpqether driverRalf Baechle
The bpq ether driver is modifying the data art of the skb by first dropping the KISS byte (a command byte for the radio) then prepending the length + 4 of the remaining AX.25 packet to be transmitted as a little endian 16-bit number. If the high byte of the length has a different value than the dropped KISS byte users of clones of the skb may observe this as corruption. This was observed with by running listen(8) -a which uses a packet socket which clones transmit packets. The corruption will then typically be displayed for as a KISS "TX Delay" command for AX.25 packets in the range of 252..508 bytes or any other KISS command for yet larger packets. Fixed by using skb_cow to create a private copy should the skb be cloned. Using skb_cow also allows us to cleanup the old logic to ensure sufficient headroom in the skb. While at it, replace a return of 0 from bpq_xmit with the proper constant NETDEV_TX_OK which is now being used everywhere else in this function. Affected: all 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

2009-09-02tcp: replace hard coded GFP_KERNEL with sk_allocationWu Fengguang
This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress memory tests over NFS: inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage. page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock => tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting for the allocation to succeed. But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could loop endlessly under memory pressure.

from a specified file. This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool.

2009-09-02ip: Report qdisc packet dropsEric Dumazet
Christoph Lameter pointed out that packet drops at qdisc level where not accounted in SNMP counters. Only if application sets IP_RECVERR, drops are reported to user (-ENOBUFS errors) and SNMP counters updated. IP_RECVERR is used to enable extended reliable error message passing, but these are not needed to update system wide SNMP stats. This patch changes things a bit to allow SNMP counters to be updated, regardless of IP_RECVERR being set or not on the socket. Example after an UDP tx flood # netstat -s ... IP: 1487048 outgoing packets dropped ... Udp: ... SndbufErrors: 1487048 send() syscalls, do however still return an OK status, to not break applications. Note : send() manual page explicitly says for -ENOBUFS error : "The output queue for a network interface was full. This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending, but may be caused by transient congestion. (Normally, this does not occur in Linux. Packets are just silently dropped when a device queue overflows.) " This is not true for IP_RECVERR enabled sockets : a send() syscall that hit a qdisc drop returns an ENOBUFS error.

2009-09-02net: drop_monitor: make last_rx timestamp privateNeil Horman
It was recently pointed out to me that the last_rx field of the net_device structure wasn't updated regularly. In fact only the bonding driver really uses it currently. Since the drop_monitor code relies on the last_rx field to detect drops on recevie in hardware, We need to find a more reliable way to rate limit our drop checks (so that we don't check for drops on every frame recevied, which would be inefficient. This patch makes a last_rx timestamp that is private to the drop monitor code and is updated for every device that we track. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
