The stuck queue detection mechanism allows to detect queues that are stuck. For sleeping clients, a queue may rightfully be stuck: if a poor client implementation stays asleep for more than 10s, then we don't want to trigger recovery flows because of that client. In order to cope with this, I added a mechanism that monitors the state of the client: when a client goes to sleep, the timer of his queues is frozen. When he wakes up, the timer is reset to the right value so that if a client was awake for more than 10s and the queues are stuck, only then, the recovery flow will kick in. This is valid only on non-shared queues: A-MPDU queues. There was a bug in case we Tx to a sleeping client that has an empty A-MPDU queue: the timer was armed to now + 10s. This is bad, but pretty harmless. The problem is that when the client wakes up, the timer is modified to be now + remainder. But remainder is 0 since the queue was empty when that client went to sleep... Fix this by checking the state of the client before playing with the timer when we add a packet to an empty queue.

The code checks the total number of iterations to differentiate between regular scan and scheduled scan. However, regular scan has a total of one iteration, not zero. As a result, regular scan will have lower priority than it should have, and in case scheduled scan is already running when regular scan is requested, regular scan will be delayed until scheduled scan is aborted. Fix that by checking for total iterations number of one as an identifier for regular scan.

When the card is not owned by the PCIe bus, we need to acquire ownership first. This flow is implemented in iwl_pcie_prepare_card_hw. Because of a hardware bug, we need to disable link power management before we can request ownership otherwise the other user of the device won't get notified that we are requesting the device which will prevent us from acquire ownership. Same holds for the down flow where we need to make sure that any other potential user is notified that the driver is going down.

The time event is initialized relatively late in interface (mvmvif) initialization, so it's possible to fail before that happens. As a consequence, the driver will crash if it ever tries to delete this time event in case initialization was unsuccessful. Avoid this by using the time event's vif pointer to indicate validity. The vif pointer is != NULL whenever the id is != TE_MAX, except for this special error case where the vif pointer will have the correct property (as the whole memory is cleared on allocation) whereas the id is 0, causing a crash in trying to delete the time event from the list.

When BT is active, we want to avoid the shared antenna for management frame to make sure we don't disturb BT. There was a bug in that code because it chose the antenna BIT(ANT_A) where ANT_A is already a bitmap (0x1). This means that the antenna chosen in the end was ANT_B. While this is not optimal on devices with 2 antennas (it'd disturb BT), it is critical on single antenna devices like 3160 which couldn't connect at all when BT was active.

Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1" fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits set because of the following factors: [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so it will be filled with garbage. [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC controller (for example error flags etc). And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1" fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block. This change addresses both items above with: [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because this allocation only happens once on driver probe. [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields of all buffer descriptors during initialization of DMA transfer. And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent() counterpart as well.

Andy Gospodarek says: ==================== changes to make ipv4 routing table aware of next-hop link status This series adds the ability to have the Linux kernel track whether or not a particular route should be used based on the link-status of the interface associated with the next-hop. Before this patch any link-failure on an interface that was serving as a gateway for some systems could result in those systems being isolated from the rest of the network as the stack would continue to attempt to send frames out of an interface that is actually linked-down. When the kernel is responsible for all forwarding, it should also be responsible for taking action when the traffic can no longer be forwarded -- there is no real need to outsource link-monitoring to userspace anymore. This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'. net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, the kernel will not only report to userspace that the link is down, but it will also report to userspace that a route is dead. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be selected.

If the global or interface sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when p8p1 is down: default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 If the dead flag does not appear there should be no expectation that the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down. v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches: first to add linkdown flag and second to add new sysctl settings. Also took suggestion from Alex to simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and suggestion from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl. Added iproute2 patch to recognize and print linkdown flag. v3: Code cleanups along with reverse-path checks suggested by Alex and small fixes related to problems found when multipath was disabled. v4: Drop binary sysctls v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave v6: Style changes noticed by Dave and checkpath suggestions. v7: Last checkpatch fixup. Though there were some that preferred not to have a configuration option and to make this behavior the default when it was discussed in Ottawa earlier this year since "it was time to do this." I wanted to propose the config option to preserve the current behavior for those that desire it. I'll happily remove it if Dave and Linus approve. An IPv6 implementation is also needed (DECnet too!), but I wanted to start with the IPv4 implementation to get people comfortable with the idea before moving forward. If this is accepted the IPv6 implementation can be posted shortly. There was also a request for switchdev support for this, but that will be posted as a followup as switchdev does not currently handle dead next-hops in a multi-path case and I felt that infra needed to be added first. FWIW, we have been running the original version of this series with a global sysctl and our customers have been happily using a backported version for IPv4 and IPv6 for >6 months. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'. net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib lookup. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be selected. The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace if the sysctl is enabled and link is down. This was done as without it the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would be selected. The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the interface has IFF_UP cleared. With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed (interface p8p1 is link-down): default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1 cache local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1 cache <local> 80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15 cache While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is down.

Add a fib flag called RTNH_F_LINKDOWN to any ipv4 nexthops that are reachable via an interface where carrier is off. No action is taken, but additional flags are passed to userspace to indicate carrier status. This also includes a cleanup to fib_disable_ip to more clearly indicate what event made the function call to replace the more cryptic force option previously used. v2: Split out kernel functionality into 2 patches, this patch simply sets and clears new nexthop flag RTNH_F_LINKDOWN. v3: Cleanups suggested by Alex as well as a bug noticed in fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up when multipath was not enabled. v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave. v6: Style fixups noticed by Dave; ran checkpatch to be sure I got them all.

switchdev_port_bridge_getlink() queries SWITCHDEV_ATTR_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS attributes, but a driver doesn't need to implement this in order to get bridge link information. So error out only on errors different than -EOPNOTSUPP. (This is a follow-up patch for 7d4f8d87.)

This bug pops up with NetworkManager on Fedora 21. NetworkManager tends to stop the interface (nicvf_stop() is called) before changing settings. In stopped state MAC cannot be sent to a PF. However, when the interface is restarted (nicvf_open() is called), we ping the PF using NIC_MBOX_MSG_READY message, and the PF replies back with old MAC address, overriding what we had after MAC setting from userspace. As a result, we cannot set MAC address using NetworkManager. This patch introduces special tracking of MAC change in stopped state so that the correct new MAC address is sent to a PF when interface is reopen.

ICMP messages can trigger ICMP and local errors. In this case serr->port is 0 and starting from Linux 4.0 we do not return the original target address to the error queue readers.

In order to save PCI BW consumed by TX CQEs and to reduce the amount of CPU cache misses caused by TX CQE reading, we request TX CQE generation only when skb->xmit_more=0. As a consequence of the above, a single TX CQE may now indicate the transmission completion of multiple TX SKBs. This also handles a problem introduced in commit b1b8105ebf41 "net/mlx5e: Support NETIF_F_SG" where we didn't ask for NOP completions while the driver didn't have the proper code to handle this case.
