When changing dev tx_queue_len via netlink or net-sysfs, a NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN event notification will be called. But dev_ioctl missed this event notification, which could cause no userspace notification would be sent. Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 7091d8c7 '(net/sched: cls_flower: Add offload support using egress Hardware device') made sure (when fl_hw_replace_filter is called) to put the egress_dev mark on persisent structure instance. Hence, following calls into the HW driver for stats and deletion will note it and act accordingly. With commit de4784ca this property is lost and hence when called, the HW driver failes to operate (stats, delete) on the offloaded flow. Fix it by setting the egress_dev flag whenever the ingress device is different from the hw device since this is exactly the condition under which we're calling into the HW driver through the egress port net-device.

register_netdevice() could fail early when we have an invalid dev name, in which case ->ndo_uninit() is not called. For tun device, this is a problem because a timer etc. are already initialized and it expects ->ndo_uninit() to clean them up. We could move these initializations into a ->ndo_init() so that register_netdevice() knows better, however this is still complicated due to the logic in tun_detach(). Therefore, I choose to just call dev_get_valid_name() before register_netdevice(), which is quicker and much easier to audit. And for this specific case, it is already enough.

IFLA_IFALIAS is defined as NLA_STRING. It means that the minimal length of the attribute is 1 ("\0"). However, to remove an alias, the attribute length must be 0 (see dev_set_alias()). Let's define the type to NLA_BINARY to allow 0-length string, so that the alias can be removed. Example: $ ip l s dummy0 alias foo $ ip l l dev dummy0 5: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether ae:20:30:4f:a7:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff alias foo Before the patch: $ ip l s dummy0 alias "" RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range After the patch: $ ip l s dummy0 alias "" $ ip l l dev dummy0 5: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether ae:20:30:4f:a7:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff CC: Oliver Hartkopp <oliver@hartkopp.net> CC: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Fixes: 96ca4a2c ("net: remove ifalias on empty given alias") Reported-by: Julien FLoret <julien.floret@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Xin Long says: ==================== rtnetlink: a bunch of fixes for userspace notifications in changing dev properties Whenever any property of a link, address, route, etc. changes by whatever way, kernel should notify the programs that listen for such events in userspace. The patchet "rtnetlink: Cleanup user notifications for netdev events" tried to fix a redundant notifications issue, but it also introduced a side effect. After that, user notifications could only be sent when changing dev properties via netlink api. As it removed some events process in rtnetlink_event where the notifications was sent to users. It resulted in no notification generated when dev properties are changed via other ways, like ioctl, sysfs, etc. It may cause some user programs doesn't work as expected because of the missing notifications. This patchset will fix it by bringing some of these netdev events back and also fix the old redundant notifications issue with a proper way. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The check 'status & DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY' in do_setlink doesn't really work after status & DO_SETLINK_MODIFIED, as: DO_SETLINK_MODIFIED 0x1 DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY 0x3 Considering that notifications are suppposed to be sent only when status have the flag DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY, the right check would be: (status & DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY) == DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY This would avoid lots of duplicated notifications when setting some properties of a link.

Commit 085e1a65 ("rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for MTU events") tried to fix the redundant notifications issue when ip link set mtu by removing NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event process in rtnetlink_event. But it also resulted in no notification generated when dev's mtu is changed via other methods, like: 'ifconfig eth1 mtu 1400' or 'echo 1400 > /sys/class/net/eth1/mtu' It would cause users not to be notified by this change. This patch is to fix it by bringing NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event back into rtnetlink_event, and the redundant notifications issue will be fixed in the later patch 'rtnetlink: check DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY correctly in do_setlink'.

In bnxt_find_nvram_item(), it is copying firmware response data after releasing the mutex. This can cause the firmware response data to be corrupted if the next firmware response overwrites the response buffer. The rare problem shows up when running ethtool -i repeatedly. Fix it by calling the new variant _hwrm_send_message_silent() that requires the caller to take the mutex and to release it after the response data has been copied.

As a further improvement to the PF/VF link change logic, use a private mutex instead of the rtnl lock to protect link change logic. With the new mutex, we don't have to take the rtnl lock in the workqueue when we have to handle link related functions. If the VF and PF drivers are running on the same host and both take the rtnl lock and one is waiting for the other, it will cause timeout. This patch fixes these timeouts.

Link status query firmware messages originating from the VFs are forwarded to the PF. The driver handles these interactions in a workqueue for the VF and PF. The VF driver waits for the response from the PF in the workqueue. If the PF and VF driver are running on the same host and the work for both PF and VF are queued on the same workqueue, the VF driver may not get the response if the PF work item is queued behind it on the same workqueue. This will lead to the VF link query message timing out. To prevent this, we create a private workqueue for PFs instead of using the common workqueue. The VF query and PF response will never be on the same workqueue. Fixes: c0c050c5 ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")

The 88E6060 Ethernet switch always transmits the multicast bit of the switch MAC address as a zero. It re-uses the corresponding bit 8 of the register "Switch MAC Address Register Bytes 0 & 1" for "DiffAddr". If the "DiffAddr" bit is 0, then all ports transmit the same source address. If it is set to 1, then bit 2:0 are used for the port number. The mv88e6060 driver is currently wrongly shifting the MAC address byte 0 by 9. To fix this, shift it by 8 as usual and clear its bit 0.

Currently we drop any new VLAN ids if there are more than the current (or last used) channel can support. Most importantly this is a problem if no channel has been selected yet, resulting in a segfault. Secondly this does not necessarily reflect the capabilities of any other channels. Instead only drop a new VLAN id if we are already tracking the maximum allowed by the NCSI specification. Per-channel limits are already handled by ncsi_add_filter(), but add a message to set_one_vid() to make it obvious that the channel can not support any more VLAN ids.

rtl_init_one() currently enables PCI wakeups if the ethernet device is found to be WOL-capable. There is no need to do this when rtl8169_set_wol() will correctly enable or disable the same wakeup flag when WOL is activated/deactivated. This works around an ACPI DSDT bug which prevents the Acer laptop models Aspire ES1-533, Aspire ES1-732, PackardBell ENTE69AP and Gateway NE533 from entering S3 suspend - even when no ethernet cable is connected. On these platforms, the DSDT says that GPE08 is a wakeup source for ethernet, but this GPE fires as soon as the system goes into suspend, waking the system up immediately. Having the wakeup normally disabled avoids this issue in the default case. With this change, WOL will continue to be unusable on these platforms (it will instantly wake up if WOL is later enabled by the user) but we do not expect this to be a commonly used feature on these consumer laptops. We have separately determined that WOL works fine without any ACPI GPEs enabled during sleep, so a DSDT fix or override would be possible to make WOL work.
