2009-09-15bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()Moni Shoua
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses. This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks: *. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat) and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. *. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing table, which might be unnecessary. The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

2009-09-15can: fix NOHZ local_softirq_pending 08 warningOliver Hartkopp
When using nanosleep() in an userspace application we get a ratelimit warning NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 for 10 times. The echo of CAN frames is done from process context and softirq context only. Therefore the usage of netif_rx() was wrong (for years). This patch replaces netif_rx() with netif_rx_ni() which has to be used from process/softirq context. It also adds a missing comment that can_send() must no be used from hardirq context.

2009-09-14ixgbe: Create separate media type for CX4 adaptersPeter P Waskiewicz Jr
Currently the media type detection for CX4 adapters lumps them into a type of fiber. This causes some strange fallout when firmware verification is done on the NIC, and certain fiber NIC rules get enforced incorrectly. This patch introduces a new media type for CX4, and puts both 82598 and 82599 CX4 adapters into this bucket.

2009-09-14ixgbe: Properly disable packet split per-ring when globally disabledPeter P Waskiewicz Jr
The packet split feature was recently moved out of the adapter-wide flags feature field and into a per-Rx ring feature field. In the process, packet split isn't properly disabled in the Rx ring if the adapter has it globally disabled, followed by a device reset. This won't impact the driver today, since it's always in packet split mode. However, this will prevent any pitfalls if someone disables packet split on the adapter in the future and doesn't disable it in each ring.

2009-09-11net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devicesMarcel Holtmann
The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace application it is important to classify these devices correctly and not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid. To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available within udev. # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent DEVTYPE=wlan INTERFACE=wlan0 IFINDEX=5 This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc. The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The cure is to disable the controller before changing speed/duplex and enable it afterwards. Though, disabling the controller might take quite a while, so we better not grab any spinlocks in adjust_link(). Instead, we quiesce the driver's activity, and only then disable the controller.

2009-09-09rt2x00: Hardcode TX ack timeout and consume timeIvo van Doorn
The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK consume time are different then the values as used by the Legacy drivers. After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that the calculated values caused a high amount of TX failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to excessive retries. The symptoms of this problem: - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely) - Problems with DHCP - Broken connections due to lack of probe response This should fix at least: Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273] Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203] but possible some additional bugs as well.
