2007-04-25[NET]: Treat CHECKSUM_PARTIAL as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARYHerbert Xu
When a transmitted packet is looped back directly, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL maps to the semantics of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. Therefore we should treat it as such in the stack. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_transport_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the common, open coded 'skb->h.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->h.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple cases: skb->h.raw = skb->data; skb->h.raw = {skb_push|[__]skb_pull}() The next ones will handle the slightly more "complex" cases.

2006-12-08[NETPOLL]: make arp replies through netpoll use mac address of senderNeil Horman
Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed in netconsole_receive_skb, where they were responded to using the src mac of the request sender. In the 2.6 kernel arp_reply is responsible for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the netconsole application is used. While this is usually ok, it can lead to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be responded to using the mac address of the other). This patch reverts the behavior to what we had in 2.4, in which all arp requests are sent back using the src address of the request sender.

2006-12-02netpoll queue cleanupStephen Hemminger
The beast had a long and not very happy history. At one point, a friend (netdump) had asked that he open up a little. Well, the friend was long gone now, and the beast had this dangling piece hanging (netpoll_queue). It wasn't hard to stitch the netpoll_queue back in where it belonged and make everything tidy.

2006-12-02netpoll retry cleanupStephen Hemminger
The netpoll beast was still not happy. If the beast got clogged pipes, it tended to stare blankly off in space for a long time. The problem couldn't be completely fixed because the beast talked with irq's disabled. But it could be made less painful and shorter. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>
2006-12-02netpoll deferred transmit pathStephen Hemminger
When the netpoll beast got busy, he tended to babble. Instead of talking out of his large mouth as normal, he tended to try to snort out other orifices. This lead to words (skbs) ending up in odd places (like NIT) that he did not intend. The normal way of talking wouldn't work, but he could at least change to using the same tone all the time.

2006-12-02netpoll setup error handlingStephen Hemminger

2006-12-02netpoll per device txqStephen Hemminger
When the netpoll beast got really busy, it tended to clog things, so it stored them for later. But the beast was putting all it's skb's in one basket. This was bad because maybe some pipes were clogged and others were not. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>
2006-12-02netpoll info leakStephen Hemminger
After looking harder, Steve noticed that the netpoll beast leaked a little every time it shutdown for a nap. Not a big leak, but a nuisance kind of thing. He took out his refcount duct tape and patched the leak. It was overkill since there was already other locking in that area, but it looked clean and wouldn't attract fleas.

2006-12-02netpoll: private skb pool (rev3)Stephen Hemminger
It was a dark and stormy night when Steve first saw the netpoll beast. The beast was odd, and misshapen but not extremely ugly. "Let me take off one of your warts" he said. This wart is where you tried to make an skb list yourself. If the beast had ever run out of memory, he would have stupefied himself unnecessarily. The first try was painful, so he tried again till the bleeding stopped. And again, and again... Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

2006-06-26[NET] netpoll: break recursive loop in netpoll rx pathNeil Horman
The netpoll system currently has a rx to tx path via: netpoll_rx __netpoll_rx arp_reply netpoll_send_skb dev->hard_start_tx This rx->tx loop places network drivers at risk of inadvertently causing a deadlock or BUG halt by recursively trying to acquire a spinlock that is used in both their rx and tx paths (this problem was origionally reported to me in the 3c59x driver, which shares a spinlock between the boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit routines). This patch breaks this loop, by queueing arp frames, so that they can be responded to after all receive operations have been completed. Tested by myself and the reported with successful results. Specifically it was tested with netdump.

2006-06-17[NET]: Add netif_tx_lockHerbert Xu
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-11-10[NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctlyHerbert Xu
Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults. If that happens, it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack trace with the device name. In future it can turn off RX checksum. I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the exceptions of: * Those places where checksums are done bit by bit. These will call netdev_rx_csum_fault directly. * The following have not been completely checked/converted: ipmr ip_vs netfilter dccp This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger and David S.

2005-10-03[IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnlHerbert Xu

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.
