The open function of qeth is not executed if the qeth device is in state DOWN or HARDSETUP. A recovery switches from state SOFTSETUP to HARDSETUP to DOWN to HARDSETUP and back to SOFTSETUP. If open and recover are running concurrently, open fails if it hits the states HARDSETUP or DOWN. This patch inserts waiting for recovery finish in the qeth open functions to enable successful qeth device opening in spite of a running recovery.

Linux 2.6.21 defines different macros for __attribute__ which are also used inside batman-adv. The next version of checkpatch.pl warns about the usage of __attribute__((packed))). Linux 2.6.33 defines an extra macro __always_unused which is used to assist source code analyzers and can be used to removed the last existing __attribute__ inside the source code.

Fixes the following: 1. POLL should not enable IRQ when work is not completed 2. No locking between TX descriptor cleaning and XMIT descriptor handling 3. No locking between RX POLL and XMIT modifying control register 4. Since TX cleaning (called from POLL) is running in parallel with XMIT unnecessary locking is needed. 5. IRQ handler looks at RX frame status solely, this is wrong when IRQ is temporarily disabled (in POLL), and when IRQ is shared. 6. IRQ handler clears IRQ status, which is unnecessary 7. TX queue was stopped in preventing cause when not MAX_SKB_FRAGS+1 descriptors were available after a SKB been scheduled by XMIT. Instead the TX queue is stopped first when not enough descriptors are available upon entering XMIT. It was hard to split up this patch in smaller pieces since all are tied together somehow. Note the RX flag used in the interrupt handler does not signal that interrupt was asserted, but that a frame was received. Same goes for TX. Also, IRQ is not asserted when the RX flag is set before enabling IRQ enable until a new frame is received. So extra care must be taken to avoid enabling IRQ and all descriptors are already used, hence dead lock will upon us. See new POLL implementation that enableds IRQ then look at the RX flag to determine if one or more IRQs may have been missed. TX/RX flags are cleared before handling previously enabled descriptors, this ensures that the RX/TX flags are valid when determining if IRQ should be turned on again. By moving TX cleaning from POLL to XMIT in the standard case, removes some locking trouble. Enabling TX cleaning from poll only when not enough TX descriptors are available is safe because the TX queue is at the same time stopped, thus XMIT will not be called. The TX queue is woken up again when enough descriptrs are available. TX Frames are always enabled with IRQ, however the TX IRQ Enable flag will not be enabled until XMIT must wait for free descriptors. Locking RX and XMIT parts of the driver from each other is needed because the RX/TX enable bits share the same register. Signed-off-by: Daniel Hellstrom <daniel@gaisler.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Frame error interrupts must also be handled since the RX flag only indicates successful reception, it is unlikely but the old code may lead to dead lock if 128 error frames are recieved in a row.

If hardware asserted an interrupt and driver is down, then there is nothing to do so return IRQ_HANDLED instead of IRQ_NONE.

The firmware agent is not available during resume. Loading the firmware during open() (see eee3a96c) is not enough. close() is run during resume through rtl8169_reset_task(), whence the mildly natural release of firmware in the driver removal method instead. It will help with http://bugs.debian.org/609538. It will not avoid the 60 seconds delay when: - there is no firmware - the driver is loaded and the device is not up before a suspend/resume Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Tested-by: Jarek Kamiński <jarek@vilo.eu.org> Cc: Hayes <hayeswang@realtek.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some ethtool operations can only be implemented for the WAN port, and not all such operations are allowed to return an error code such as -EOPNOTSUPP. Therefore, define two separate ethtool_ops structures for WAN and non-WAN ports; simplify and rename the WAN-only functions. This is completely untested as I don't have an ARM build environment.

skb_clone() dynamically allocates memory and may fail. If it does it returns NULL. This means we'll dereference a NULL pointer in drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c::cdc_ncm_rx_fixup(). As far as I can tell, the proper way to deal with this is simply to goto the error label. Furthermore gcc complains that 'skb' may be used uninitialized: drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c: In function ‘cdc_ncm_rx_fixup’: drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c:922:18: warning: ‘skb’ may be used uninitialized in this function and I believe it is right. On the line where we pr_debug("invalid frame detected (ignored)" ... we are using the local variable 'skb' but nothing has ever been assigned to that variable yet. I believe the correct fix for that is to use 'skb_in' instead. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

After recent changes, (percpu stats on vlan/tunnels...), we dont need anymore per struct netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped counters. Only remaining users are ixgbe, sch_teql, gianfar & macvlan : 1) ixgbe can be converted to use existing tx_ring counters. 2) macvlan incremented txq->tx_dropped, it can use the dev->stats.tx_dropped counter. 3) sch_teql : almost revert ab35cd4b (Use net_device internal stats) Now we have ndo_get_stats64(), use it, even for "unsigned long" fields (No need to bring back a struct net_device_stats) 4) gianfar adds a stats structure per tx queue to hold tx_bytes/tx_packets This removes a lockdep warning (and possible lockup) in rndis gadget, calling dev_get_stats() from hard IRQ context.

There's a problem in net/batman-adv/unicast.c::frag_send_skb(). dev_alloc_skb() allocates memory and may fail, thus returning NULL. If this happens we'll pass a NULL pointer on to skb_split() which in turn hands it to skb_split_inside_header() from where it gets passed to skb_put() that lets skb_tail_pointer() play with it and that function dereferences it. And thus the bat dies. While I was at it I also moved the call to dev_alloc_skb() above the assignment to 'unicast_packet' since there's no reason to do that assignment if the memory allocation fails.

This patch fixes a loop in ctnetlink_get_conntrack() that can be triggered if you use the same socket to receive events and to perform a GET operation. Under heavy load, netlink_unicast() may return -EAGAIN, this error code is reserved in nfnetlink for the module load-on-demand. Instead, we return -ENOBUFS which is the appropriate error code that has to be propagated to user-space.

Linux IPv6 forwards unicast packets, which are link layer multicasts... The hole was present since day one. I was 100% this check is there, but it is not. The problem shows itself, f.e. when Microsoft Network Load Balancer runs on a network. This software resolves IPv6 unicast addresses to multicast MAC addresses.
