Fixed two warnings in e1000e and igb, when switching to timespec64 some printf formats started to not match. In theses cases actually the new type is __kernel_time_t which is __kernel_long_t which unfortunately can be either "long" or "long long". So to solve this I cases the arguments to "long long". -DaveM Richard Cochran says: ==================== ptp: get ready for 2038 This series converts the core driver methods of the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) subsystem to use the 64 bit version of the timespec structure, making the core API ready for the year 2038. In addition, I reviewed how each driver and device represents the time value at the hardware register level. Most of the drivers are ready, but a few will need some work before the year 2038, as shown: Patch Driver ------------------------------------------------ 12 drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ptp.c 15 ? drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ptp.c 16 drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_ptp.c The commit log messages document how each driver is ready or why it is not ready. For patch 15, I could not easily find out the hardware representation of the time value, and so the SFC maintainers will have to review their low level code in order to resolve any remaining issues. * ChangeLog ** V3 - dp83640: use timespec64 throughout per Arnd's suggestion - tilegx: use timespec64 throughout per Chris' suggestion - add Jeff's acked-bys ** V2 - use the new methods in the posix clock code right away (patch #3) ==================== Signed-off-by:David S.

All of the PHC drivers have been converted to the new methods. This patch converts the three remaining callers within the core code and removes the older methods for good. As a result, the core PHC code is ready for the year 2038. However, some of the PHC drivers are not quite ready yet. Signed-off-by:

This driver is 64 bit only, and so this driver and device are ready for 2038. This patch changes the driver to the new PHC and also carries the timespec64 parameter on out to the gxio_mpipe_get- set_timestamp functions, making explicit the fact that the tv_sec field is 64 bits wide. Not even compile tested. Signed-off-by:

A message sent to a node after a successful name table lookup may still find that the destination socket has disappeared, because distribution of name table updates is non-atomic. If so, the message will be rejected back to the sender with error code TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT. If the source socket of the message has disappeared in the meantime, the message should be dropped. However, in the currrent code, the message will instead be subject to an unwanted tertiary lookup, because the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest() doesn't check if there is an error code present in the message before performing the lookup. In the worst case, the message may now find the old destination again, and be redirected once more, instead of being dropped directly as it should be. A second bug in this function is that the "prev_node" field in the message is not updated after successful lookup, something that may have unpredictable consequences. The problems arising from those bugs occur very infrequently. The third change in this function; the test on msg_reroute_msg_cnt() is purely cosmetic, reflecting that the returned value never can be negative. This commit corrects the two bugs described above.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-03-27 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Jesse adds new device IDs to handle the new 20G speed for KR2. Mitch provides a fix for an issue that shows up as a panic or memory corruption when the device is brought down while under heavy stress. This is resolved by delaying the releasing of resources until we receive acknowledgment from the PF driver that the rings have indeed been stopped. Also adds firmware version information to ethtool reporting to align with ixgbevf behavior. Akeem increases the polling loop limiter, sine we found that in certain circumstances the firmware can take longer to be ready after a reset. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Toshiaki Makita says: ==================== Stacked vlan TSO On the basis of Netdev 0.1 discussion[1], I made a patch set to enable TSO for packets with multiple vlans. Currently, packets with multiple vlans are always segmented by software, which is caused by that netif_skb_features() drops most feature flags for multiple tagged packets. To allow NICs to segment them, we need to get rid of that check from core. Fortunately, recently introduced ndo_features_check() can be used to move the check to each driver, and this patch set is based on the idea. For the initial patch set, I chose 3 drivers, bonding, team, and igb, as candidates to enable TSO. I tested them and confirmed they works fine with this change. Here are samples of performance test results. As I expected, %sys gets pretty lower than before. * TEST1: vlan (.1Q) on vlan (.1ad) on igb (I350) - before $ netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H 192.168.10.1 -l 60 Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 60.02 933.72 Average: CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle Average: all 0.13 0.00 11.28 0.01 0.00 88.58 - after $ netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H 192.168.10.1 -l 60 Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 60.01 936.13 Average: CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle Average: all 0.24 0.00 4.17 0.01 0.00 95.58 * TEST2: vlan (.1Q) on bridge (.1ad vlan filtering) on team on igb (I350) - before $ netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H 192.168.10.1 -l 60 Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 60.01 936.28 Average: CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle Average: all 0.41 0.00 11.57 0.01 0.00 88.01 - after $ netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H 192.168.10.1 -l 60 Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 60.02 935.72 Average: CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle Average: all 0.14 0.00 7.66 0.01 0.00 92.19 In addition to above, I tested these configurations: - vlan (.1Q) on vlan (1.ad) on bonding on igb (I350) - vlan (.1Q) on vlan (1.Q) on igb (I350) - vlan (.1Q) on vlan (1.Q) on team on igb (I350) And didn't find any problem.

As datasheets for igb (I210, I350, 82576, etc.) say, maclen can be from 14 to 127, which is enough for reasonable number of vlan tags. My netperf test showed I350's TSO works pretty fine with multiple vlans. Signed-off-by:

To allow drivers to handle the features check for multiple tags, move the check to ndo_features_check(). As no drivers currently handle multiple tagged TSO, introduce dflt_features_check() and call it if the driver does not have ndo_features_check(). Signed-off-by:

Separate the two checks for single vlan and multiple vlans in netif_skb_features(). This allows us to move the check for multiple vlans to another function later. Signed-off-by:

Toshiaki Makita authored
Stacked vlan devices curretly have few features (GRO, HIGHDMA, LLTX). Since we have software fallbacks in case the NIC can not handle some features for multiple vlans, we can add the same features as the lower vlan devices for stacked vlan devices. This allows stacked vlan devices to create large (GSO) packets and not to segment packets. Those packets will be segmented by software on the real device, or even can be segmented by the NIC once TSO for multiple vlans becomes enabled by the following patches. The exception is those related to FCoE, which does not have a software fallback. Signed-off-by:

Guenter Roeck says: ==================== net: dsa: HW bridging, EEE support Patch 1 to 7 of this series prepare the drivers using the mv88e6xxx code for HW bridging support, without adding the code itself. For the most part this factors out common port initialization code. There is no functional change except for patch 3, which disables the message port bit for the CPU port to prevent packet duplication if HW bridging is configured. Patch 8 adds the infrastructure for hardware bridging support to the mv88e6xxx code. Patch 9 wires the MV88E6352 driver to support hardware bridging. Patches 10 to 12 add support for ndo_fdb functions to the dsa subsystem, and wire up the MV88E6352 driver to support those functions. Patches 13 to 16 add EEE support and HW bridging support to the mv88e6171 driver. This set of patches is from Andrew, applied on top of the first set of patches. The series applies to net-next as of 3/24/2015. Thanks a lot to Andrew Lunn for testing and valuable feedback. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
