This reverts commit f8d56d8f ("net: eth: cpsw: Correctly attach to GPIO bitbang MDIO driver"). Fix potential null-pointer dereference at probe if the mdio-gpio device has not been successfully probed yet. The offending commit is plain wrong for a number of reasons. First of all it accesses internal driver data of an unrelated device. Neither does it check that the data is non-null (which it is in case the device has not been probed yet). Furthermore, the decision on whether to treat any driver data according to the mdio-gpio driver's internals is made based on the node name. But the name is not compared against "mdio" which is the normal name for the node, but rather against "gpio" which the node does not have to be named (and shouldn't be according to the binding documentation). [ If this hack is to be kept out-of-tree it should at least be matching against the compatible property. ] Cc: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.14 Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This driver maps 802.1q VLANs to MBIM sessions. The mapping is based on a bogus assumption that all tagged frames will use the acceleration API because we enable NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_TX. This fails for e.g. frames tagged in userspace using packet sockets. Such frames will erroneously be considered as untagged and silently dropped based on not being IP. Fix by falling back to looking into the ethernet header for a tag if no accelerated tag was found.

This driver adds support for EtherCAT master module located on CCAT FPGA found on Beckhoff CX series industrial PCs. The driver exposes EtherCAT master as an ethernet interface.

Similarly, when CONFIG_SYSCTL is not set, ping_group_range should still work, just that no one can change it. Therefore we should move it out of sysctl_net_ipv4.c.

Florian Westphal says: ==================== net: ip: push gso skb forwarding handling down the stack Turns out doing the segmentation in forwarding was not a bright idea, there are corner-cases where this has unintended side-effects. This patch pushes the segmentation downwards. After this, netif_skb_dev_features() function can be removed again, it was only added to fetch the features of the output device, we can just use skb->dev after the pushdown. Tested with following setup: host -> kvm_router -> kvm_host mtu 1500 mtu1280 - 'host' has route to kvm_host with locked mtu of 1500 - gso/gro enabled on all interfaces Did tests with all of following combinations: - netfilter conntrack off and on on kvm_router - virtio-net and e1000 driver on kvm_router - tcp and udp bulk xmit from host to kvm_host for tcp, I added TCPMSS mangling on kvm_host to make it lie about tcp mss. Also added a dummy '-t mangle -A POSTROUTING -p udp -f' rule to make sure no udp fragments are seen in the 'conntrack on' and 'virtio-net' case. Also checked (with ping -M do -s 1400)' that it still sends the wanted icmp error message when size exceeds 1280. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Florian Westphal authored
Doing the segmentation in the forward path has one major drawback: When using virtio, we may process gso udp packets coming from host network stack. In that case, netfilter POSTROUTING will see one packet with udp header followed by multiple ip fragments. Delay the segmentation and do it after POSTROUTING invocation to avoid this.

If conntrack defragments incoming ipv6 frags it stores largest original frag size in ip6cb and sets ->local_df. We must thus first test the largest original frag size vs. mtu, and not vice versa. Without this patch PKTTOOBIG is still generated in ip6_fragment() later in the stack, but 1) IPSTATS_MIB_INTOOBIGERRORS won't increment 2) packet did (needlessly) traverse netfilter postrouting hook.

local_df means 'ignore DF bit if set', so if its set we're allowed to perform ip fragmentation. This wasn't noticed earlier because the output path also drops such skbs (and emits needed icmp error) and because netfilter ip defrag did not set local_df until couple of days ago. Only difference is that DF-packets-larger-than MTU now discarded earlier (f.e. we avoid pointless netfilter postrouting trip). While at it, drop the repeated test ip_exceeds_mtu, checking it once is enough...

Under "heavy" RX load, the driver cannot handle the descriptors fast enough. In detail, when a descriptor is consumed, its used flag is cleared and once the RX budget is consumed all descriptors with a cleared used flag are prepared to receive more data. Under load though, the HW may constantly receive more data and use those descriptors with a cleared used flag before they are actually prepared for next usage. The head and tail pointers into the RX-ring should always be valid and we can omit clearing and checking of the used flag.

In ip_tunnel_rcv(), set skb->network_header to inner IP header before IP_ECN_decapsulate(). Without the fix, IP_ECN_decapsulate() takes outer IP header as inner IP header, possibly causing error messages or packet drops. Note that this skb_reset_network_header() call was in this spot when the original feature for checking consistency of ECN bits through tunnels was added in eccc1bb8 ("tunnel: drop packet if ECN present with not-ECT"). It was only removed from this spot in 3d7b46cd ("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module."). Fixes: 3d7b46cd ("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module.")

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to e1000e only. David provides four fixes for e1000e, first is a workaround for a hardware erratum on 82579 devices which experienced packet loss in gigabit and 100 speeds when interconnect between the PHY and MAC is exiting K1 power saving state. Second expands the scope of a workaround to include i217 and i218 parts as well to address over aggressive transmit behavior when connecting at 10Mbs half-duplex. Next is to resolve a reported link flap issue on 82579 parts which was root caused as an interoperability problem between 82579 and at least some Broadcom PHYs in the Energy Efficient Ethernet wake mechanism. Lastly, restricts the workaround of putting the PHY into MDIO slow mode to access the PHY id to relevant parts since this issue has been fixed on the newer hardware. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

It has been determined that the workaround of putting the PHY into MDIO slow mode to access the PHY id is not necessary with Lynx Point and newer parts.

Several customers have reported a link flap issue on 82579. The symptoms are random and intermittent link losses when 82579 is connected to specific link partners. Issue has been root caused as interoperability problem between 82579 and at least some Broadcom PHYs in the Energy Efficient Ethernet wake mechanism. To fix the issue, we are disabling the Phase Locked Loop shutdown in 100M Low Power Idle. This solution will cause an increase of power in 100M EEE link. It will cost additional 28mW in this specific mode.

In commit 772d05c5 "e1000e: slow performance between two 82579 connected via 10Mbit hub", a workaround was put into place to address the overaggressive transmit behavior of 82579 parts when connecting at 10Mbs half-duplex. This same behavior is seen on i217 and i218 parts as well. This patch expands the original workaround to encompass these parts.

This is a workaround for a HW erratum on 82579 devices. Erratum is #23 in Intel 6 Series Chipset and Intel C200 Series Chipset specification Update June 2013. Problem: 82579 parts experience packet loss in Gig and 100 speeds when interconnect between PHY and MAC is exiting K1 power saving state. This was previously believed to only affect 1Gig speed, but has been observed at 100Mbs also. Workaround: Disable K1 for 82579 devices at Gig and 100 speeds.

Or Gerlitz says: ==================== This series contains fixes for 3.15-rc, mostly around SRIOV. The patches by Jack, Matan and myself fix few issues related to mlx4 SRIOV support for RoCE and single port VFs, and the patch from Eyal eliminates checking PCI caps for VFs which is misleading. Patches done against the net tree, commit 014f1b20 "net: bonding: Fix format string mismatch in bond_sysfs.c" We'd be happy to get Eyal's patch queued in your -stable list for 3.14.y ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
