Historically tun supported two modes of operation: - in default mode, a small number of packets would get queued at the device, the rest would be queued in qdisc - in one queue mode, all packets would get queued at the device This might have made sense up to a point where we made the queue depth for both modes the same and set it to a huge value (500) so unless the consumer is stuck the chance of losing packets is small. Thus in practice both modes behave the same, but the default mode has some problems: - if packets are never consumed, fragments are never orphaned which cases a DOS for sender using zero copy transmit - overrun errors are hard to diagnose: fifo error is incremented only once so you can not distinguish between userspace that is stuck and a transient failure, tcpdump on the device does not show any traffic Userspace solves this simply by enabling IFF_ONE_QUEUE but there seems to be little point in not doing the right thing for everyone, by default.

ipv6: Make 'addrconf_rs_timer' send Router Solicitations (and re-arm itself) if Router Advertisements are accepted As of 026359bc [ipv6: Send ICMPv6 RSes only when RAs are accepted], Router Solicitations are sent whenever kernel accepts Router Advertisements on the interface. However, this logic isn't reflected in 'addrconf_rs_timer'. The timer fails to issue subsequent RS messages (and fails to re-arm itself) if forwarding is enabled and the special hybrid mode is enabled (accept_ra=2). Fix the condition determining whether next RS should be sent, by using 'ipv6_accept_ra()'.

The cleanup sequence in sky2_probe() that is called in case of an error is mixed up in different places: - pci_disable_device() is not called in each case the device has been enabled before - same for pci_disable_msi(): test_msi() may return with an error != EOPNOTSUPP (due to failure of request_irq()). In that case msi is not disabled - also failure of register_netdev() does not disable msi This patch fixes the concerning parts.

The 8139cp driver has a change_mtu function that has not been enabled since the dawn of the git repository. However, the generic eth_change_mtu is not used in its place, so that invalid MTU values can be set on the interface. Original patch salvages the broken code for the single case of setting the MTU while the interface is down, which is safe and also includes the range check. Now enhanced to support up or down interface. v2: fix case where rxbufsz isn't changed in the up state case Original patch from http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1202.2/00770.html Testing: has been test on virtual 8139cp setup without issue, have no access real hardware 8139cp, need testing help.

We attach queue 0 after registering netdevice currently. This leads to call netif_set_real_num_{tx|rx}_queues() after registering the netdevice. Since we allow tun/tap has a maximum of 1024 queues, this may lead a huge number of uevents to be injected to userspace since we create 2048 kobjects and then remove 2046. Solve this problem by attaching queue 0 and set the real number of queues before registering netdevice.

If fan failure is detected, MCP prevents PCI I/O registers from being mapped to the bar, causing a fatal error as driver is unaware.

The current SCTP stack is lacking a mechanism to have per association statistics. This is an implementation modeled after OpenSolaris' SCTP_GET_ASSOC_STATS. Userspace part will follow on lksctp if/when there is a general ACK on this. V4: - Move ipackets++ before q->immediate.func() for consistency reasons - Move sctp_max_rto() at the end of sctp_transport_update_rto() to avoid returning bogus RTO values - return asoc->rto_min when max_obs_rto value has not changed V3: - Increase ictrlchunks in sctp_assoc_bh_rcv() as well - Move ipackets++ to sctp_inq_push() - return 0 when no rto updates took place since the last call V2: - Implement partial retrieval of stat struct to cope for future expansion - Kill the rtxpackets counter as it cannot be precise anyway - Rename outseqtsns to outofseqtsns to make it clearer that these are out of sequence unexpected TSNs - Move asoc->ipackets++ under a lock to avoid potential miscounts - Fold asoc->opackets++ into the already existing asoc check - Kill unneeded (q->asoc) test when increasing rtxchunks - Do not count octrlchunks if sending failed (SCTP_XMIT_OK != 0) - Don't count SHUTDOWNs as SACKs - Move SCTP_GET_ASSOC_STATS to the private space API - Adjust the len check in sctp_getsockopt_assoc_stats() to allow for future struct growth - Move association statistics in their own struct - Update idupchunks when we send a SACK with dup TSNs - return min_rto in max_rto when RTO has not changed. Also return the transport when max_rto last changed. Signed-off: Michele Baldessari <michele@acksyn.org> Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevich@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

TCP coalescing added a regression in splice(socket->pipe) performance, for some workloads because of the way tcp_read_sock() is implemented. The reason for this is the break when (offset + 1 != skb->len). As we released the socket lock, this condition is possible if TCP stack added a fragment to the skb, which can happen with TCP coalescing. So let's go back to the beginning of the loop when this happens, to give a chance to splice more frags per system call. Doing so fixes the issue and makes GRO 10% faster than LRO on CPU-bound splice() workloads instead of the opposite.

Avoid submitting packets to a vcc which is being closed. Things go badly wrong when the ->pop method gets later called after everything's been torn down. Use the ATM socket lock for synchronisation with vcc_destroy_socket(), which clears the ATM_VF_READY bit under the same lock. Otherwise, we could end up submitting a packet to the device driver even after its ->ops->close method has been called. And it could call the vcc's ->pop method after the protocol has been shut down. Which leads to a panic. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Acked-by: Krzysztof Mazur <krzysiek@podlesie.net>
