From: Oliver Dawid <oliver@helios.de> we found a bug in net/appletalk/ddp.c concerning broadcast packets. In kernel 2.4 it was working fine. The bug first occured 4 years ago when switching to new SNAP layer handling. This bug can be splitted up into a sending(1) and reception(2) problem: Sending(1) In kernel 2.4 broadcast packets were sent to a matching ethernet device and atalk_rcv() was called to receive it as "loopback" (so loopback packets were shortcutted and handled in DDP layer). When switching to the new SNAP structure, this shortcut was removed and the loopback packet was send to SNAP layer. The author forgot to replace the remote device pointer by the loopback device pointer before sending the packet to SNAP layer (by calling ddp_dl->request() ) therfor the packet was not sent back by underlying layers to ddp's atalk_rcv(). Reception(2) In atalk_rcv() a packet received by this loopback mechanism contains now the (rigth) loopback device pointer (in Kernel 2.4 it was the (wrong) remote ethernet device pointer) and therefor no matching socket will be found to deliver this packet to. Because a broadcast packet should be send to the first matching socket (as it is done in many other protocols (?)), we removed the network comparison in broadcast case. Below you will find a patch to correct this bug. Its diffed to kernel 2.6.14-rc1 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We know the thing is at least 2-byte aligned, so take advantage of that instead of invoking memcmp() which results in truly horrifically inefficient code because it can't assume anything about alignment. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

I have been experimenting with loadable protocol modules, and ran into several issues with module reference counting. The first issue was that __module_get failed at the BUG_ON check at the top of the routine (checking that my module reference count was not zero) when I created the first socket. When sk_alloc() is called, my module reference count was still 0. When I looked at why sctp didn't have this problem, I discovered that sctp creates a control socket during module init (when the module ref count is not 0), which keeps the reference count non-zero. This section has been updated to address the point Stephen raised about checking the return value of try_module_get(). The next problem arose when my socket init routine returned an error. This resulted in my module reference count being decremented below 0. My socket ops->release routine was also being called. The issue here is that sock_release() calls the ops->release routine and decrements the ref count if sock->ops is not NULL. Since the socket probably didn't get correctly initialized, this should not be done, so we will set sock->ops to NULL because we will not call try_module_get(). While searching for another bug, I also noticed that sys_accept() has a possibility of doing a module_put() when it did not do an __module_get so I re-ordered the call to security_socket_accept().

Place them on separate cache lines in SMP to lower memory bouncing between multiple CPU accessing the device. - One part is mostly used on receive path (including eth_type_trans()) (poll_list, poll, quota, weight, last_rx, dev_addr, broadcast) - One part is mostly used on queue transmit path (qdisc) (queue_lock, qdisc, qdisc_sleeping, qdisc_list, tx_queue_len) - One part is mostly used on xmit path (device) (xmit_lock, xmit_lock_owner, priv, hard_start_xmit, trans_start) 'features' is placed outside of these hot points, in a location that may be shared by all cpus (because mostly read) name_hlist is moved close to name[IFNAMSIZ] to speedup __dev_get_by_name() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Fix interrupt test handler by adding check for IRQ assertion in PCI_STATE register in addition to the status block updated bit. Add test for valid ethernet address in tg3_set_mac_addr(). Add tg3_bus_string() to setup the PCI bus speed/width string for all PCI/PCIX/PCI Express devices. This is used to print the bus type during init_one().

Fix 5780 PHY related problems: 1. MAC_RX_MODE reset must be done before setting up the MAC_MODE register on 5705_PLUS chips or the chip will stop receiving after a while. The MAC_RX_MODE reset is needed to prevent intermittently losing the first receive packet on serdes chips. 2. Skip MAC loopback test on 5780 because of hardware errata. Normal traffic including PHY loopback is not affected by the errata. 3. PHY loopback fails intermittently on 5708S and this is fixed by putting the PHY in loopback mode first before programming the MAC mode register. A MAC_RX_MODE reset is also added. 4. Return -EINVAL in tg3_nway_reset() if device is in TBI mode. Allow nway_reset if 5780S is in parallel detect mode. 5. Add missing PHY IDs in KNOWN_PHY_ID() macro.

arm maketools needs include/asm-arm in place in the build tree. On normal builds it's always there, of course, but on O= it's created (by generic code) too late - when we get to asm-offset.h. We used to get away with that by accident - creation of include/asm-arm/arch symlink creates include/asm-arm and it happened to go before maketools. However, we did not have such dependency, so that luck didn't last - now maketools is picked first and we are screwed. Both the symlink and maketools are prerequisites of the same target (archprepare). This fix is obvious - make the latter explicitly depend on the former and be done with that.

In order to do it correctly on UltraSPARC-III+ and later we'd need to add some complicated code to set the TAG access extension register before loading the TLB. Since this optimization gives questionable gains, it's best to just remove it for now instead of adding the fix for Ultra-III+ Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When you've enabled conntrack and NAT as a module (standard case in all distributions), and you've also enabled the new conntrack netlink interface, loading ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will auto-load iptable_nat.ko. This causes a huge performance penalty, since for every packet you iterate the nat code, even if you don't want it. This patch splits iptable_nat.ko into the NAT core (ip_nat.ko) and the iptables frontend (iptable_nat.ko). Threfore, ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will only pull ip_nat.ko, but not the frontend. ip_nat.ko will "only" allocate some resources, but not affect runtime performance. This separation is also a nice step in anticipation of new packet filters (nf-hipac, ipset, pkttables) being able to use the NAT core.
