So we delay the allocation till the priority is set through cgroup, and this makes skb_update_priority() faster when it's not set. This also eliminates an off-by-one bug similar with the one fixed in the previous patch.

The current error handling doesn't work because we flash_part is a u32 so the checks for negative error codes don't work. I considered making things signed but I don't know the hardware enough to say if that's a problem. Really, we don't use the error codes so just returning zero for all problems is fine.

Just like skb->cb[], so that qdisc_skb_cb can be encapsulated inside of other data structures. This is intended to be used by IPoIB so that it can remember addressing information stored at hard_header_ops->create() time that it can fetch when the packet gets to the transmit routine.

If the number of tx/rx queues changes the ethtool ioctl ETHTOOL_GSTATS may overrun the userspace buffer. This occurs because the general practice in user space to query stats is to issue a ETHTOOL_GSSET cmd to learn the buffer size needed, allocate the buffer, then call ETHTOOL_GSTIRNGS and ETHTOOL_GSTATS. If the number of real_num_queues is changed or flow control attributes are changed after ETHTOOL_GSSET but before the ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS/ETHTOOL_GSTATS a user space buffer overrun occurs. To fix the overrun always return the max buffer size needed from get_sset_count() then return all strings and stats from get_strings()/get_ethtool_stats(). This _will_ change the output from the ioctl() call which could break applications and script parsing in theory. I believe these changes should not break existing tools because the only changes will be more {tx|rx}_queues and the {tx|rx}_pb_* stats will always be returned. Existing scripts already need to handle changing number of queues because this occurs today depending on system and current features. The {tx|rx}_pb_* stats are at the end of the output and should be handled by scripts today regardless. Finally get_ethtool_stats and get_strings are free-form outputs tools parsing these outputs should be defensive anyways. In the end these updates are better then having a tool segfault because of a buffer overrun.

Users expect the up2tc mapping to be maintained across a DCB enable/disable/enable transition. And since we maintain all the other DCB attributes we should do this for up2tc mappings as well just to be consistent. Also without this we break user space applications that expect this to occur that previously worked.

If the netdev is already in NETREG_UNREGISTERING/_UNREGISTERED state, do not update the real num tx queues. netdev_queue_update_kobjects() is already called via remove_queue_kobjects() at NETREG_UNREGISTERING time. So, when upper layer driver, e.g., FCoE protocol stack is monitoring the netdev event of NETDEV_UNREGISTER and calls back to LLD ndo_fcoe_disable() to remove extra queues allocated for FCoE, the associated txq sysfs kobjects are already removed, and trying to update the real num queues would cause something like below: ...

This patch fixes an issue in which RSC will generate corrupted frames when PAGE_SIZE is larger than 8K. Specifically it looks like that in 2.6.39 a change was made so that GRO would always have at least 16 frags available for coalescing, but the ixgbe RSC logic was not updated. As such the RSC feature would generate a frame larger than 64K and then overflow the value in the IP length field. To correct that I am now basing things on the PAGE_SIZE.

Shlomo Pongratz reported GRO L2 header check was suited for Ethernet only, and failed on IB/ipoib traffic. He provided a patch faking a zeroed header to let GRO aggregates frames. Roland Dreier, Herbert Xu, and others suggested we change GRO L2 header check to be more generic, ie not assuming L2 header is 14 bytes, but taking into account hard_header_len. __napi_gro_receive() has special handling for the common case (Ethernet) to avoid a memcmp() call and use an inline optimized function instead.

Commit a0417fa3 ("net: Make qdisc_skb_cb upper size bound explicit.") made it possible for a netdev driver to use skb->cb between its header_ops.create method and its .ndo_start_xmit method. Use this in ipoib_hard_header() to stash away the LL address (GID + QPN), instead of the "ipoib_pseudoheader" hack. This allows IPoIB to stop lying about its hard_header_len, which will let us fix the L2 check for GRO. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some devices (iwl5100) cannot connect to zd1211rw based AP. It appears that zd1211 firmware messes up duration_id field if it is not set to zero by driver. Sniffing traffic shows that zd1211 is transmitting frames with duration_id bits 14 and 15 set and other bits appearing random. Setting duration_id at driver to zero results zd1211 outputting sane duration_id. This means that firmware is setting correct values itself and expects duration_id to be zero in first place. Looking at vendor driver shows that only PSPoll frames have duration_id set by driver, for other frames duration_id left zero.

When this GETHER controller received a large frame (about 1800 bytes or more), skb_over_panic() happened. This is because the previous driver set the RFLR to 0x1000 (4096 bytes) and the skb allocate size is smaller than 4096 bytes. So, the controller accepted such a frame. The controller can discard a large frame by the RFLR setting. So, the patch modifies the value of RFLR to mtu + ETH_HLEN + VLAN_HLEN + ETH_FCS_LEN.

We allocate memory for 'new_data' with kmalloc(). If we get the memory we then try to build_skb() and if that should fail (which it can) we do not enter 'if (likely(skb)) {' and actually use 'new_data' but instead fall through to the 'drop:' label and end up returning from the function without ever assigning 'new'data' to anything or freeing it. That leaks the memory allocated to 'new_data'. This patch fixes the memory leak by doing a kfree(new_data) in the case where build_skb() fails (or where allocation of 'new_data' itself fails, but in taht case it's just a harmless kfree(NULL)).

As it is, with PCI/ISA/MCA/CCW all set to n and PCMCIA set to m setting TR to y will set LLC to m, with very unpleasant results - net/802/psnap gets picked into obj-y, resulting in the kernel that won't link - psnap calls functions from llc. The cause, AFAICS, is that kconfig gets rev_dep for LLC containing || TR && (deps for TR) and even though TR is boolean, both LLC and PCMCIA are tristate and that thing becomes || y && (n || m), i.e. || m. The reason for dependency on PCMCIA is that when none of PCI, ISA, MCA, CCW or PCMCIA is set there'll be no tokenring drivers, so there's no point building tokenring core. Proper fix probably belongs in kconfig (we need strict and, such that y <strict_and> m would be y, so that rev_deps added for tristate selected by bool would use that instead of &&; we'd have || TR <strict_and> (deps for TR) in this case), but it's a rather intrusive change. There's an easy workaround in case of TR -> LLC select, namely to have a def_bool y symbol sitting under if TR and have that symbol selecting LLC. Kudos to johill for suggesting that one...

mlx4_en_prepare_rx_desc does not correctly clean up after it finds an allocation failure. It should unmap a page before calling put_page, but it only calls the later. This bug would prevent a device removal using hotplug after setting the device MTU to 9000 and opening the network interface. After the fix, we still see the allocation failure with MTU 9000, but we are able to remove the device.

After opening the network interface, Mellanox ConnectX device cannot be removed by hotplug because it has not properly unmapped all DMA memory. It happens that mlx4_en_activate_rx_rings overrides the variable that keeps the size of the memory mapped. This is fixed by passing to mlx4_en_destroy_rx_ring the same size that is given to mlx4_en_create_rx_ring. After applying this patch, hot unplugging the device works after opening the interface.

Eric Dumazet found that commit 813b3b5d (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output route lookups.) that comes in 3.0 added a regression. The problem appears to be that resulting flowi4_oif is used incorrectly as input parameter to some routing lookups. The result is that when connecting to local port without listener if the IP address that is used is not on a loopback interface we incorrectly assign RTN_UNICAST to the output route because no route is matched by oif=lo. The RST packet can not be sent immediately by tcp_v4_send_reset because it expects RTN_LOCAL. So, change ip_route_connect and ip_route_newports to update the flowi4 fields that are input parameters because we do not want unnecessary binding to oif. To make it clear what are the input parameters that can be modified during lookup and to show which fields of floiw4 are reused add a new function to update the flowi4 structure: flowi4_update_output. Thanks to Yurij M. Plotnikov for providing a bug report including a program to reproduce the problem.

This has few benefits: 1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that. 2. This helps tcp connect with SO_BINDTODEVICE set.

all works need to be initialized before ieee80211_register_hw to prevent mac80211 call backs such as drv_start, drv_config getting started. otherwise we would queue/cancel works before initializing them and it leads to kernel panic. this issue can be recreated with the following script in Chrome laptops with AR928X cards, with background scan running (or) Network manager is running while true do sudo modprobe -v ath9k sleep 3 sudo modprobe -r ath9k sleep 3 done EIP: [<81040a47>] __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 SS:ESP 0068:f6be9d70 ---[ end trace 4f86d6139a9900ef ]--- Registered led device: ath9k-phy0 ieee80211 phy0: Atheros AR9280 Rev:2 mem=0xf88a0000, irq=16 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Pid: 456, comm: wpa_supplicant Tainted: G D 3.0.13 #1 Call Trace: [<81379e21>] panic+0x53/0x14a [<81004a30>] oops_end+0x73/0x81 [<81004b53>] die+0x4c/0x55 [<81002710>] do_trap+0x7c/0x83 [<81002855>] ? do_bounds+0x58/0x58 [<810028cc>] do_invalid_op+0x77/0x81 [<81040a47>] ? __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 [<810489ec>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0x81/0x11f [<8103f809>] ? wait_on_work+0xe2/0xf7 [<8137f807>] error_code+0x67/0x6c [<810300d8>] ? wait_consider_task+0x4ba/0x84c [<81040a47>] ? __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 [<810380c9>] ? try_to_del_timer_sync+0x5f/0x67 [<81040a91>] cancel_work_sync+0xf/0x11 [<f88d7b7c>] ath_set_channel+0x62/0x25c [ath9k] [<f88d67d1>] ? ath9k_tx_last_beacon+0x26a/0x85c [ath9k] [<f88d8899>] ath_radio_disable+0x3f1/0x68e [ath9k] [<f90d0edb>] ieee80211_hw_config+0x111/0x116 [mac80211] [<f90dd95c>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0x919/0xa37 [mac80211] [<f90dda76>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0xa33/0xa37 [mac80211] [<812dbed8>] __dev_open+0x82/0xab Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Gary Morain <gmorain@google.com> Cc: Paul Stewart <pstew@google.com> Cc: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@qca.qualcomm.com> Tested-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently even if association is failed "iw link" shows some information about connected BSS and "Tx timeout" error is seen in dmesg log. This patch fixes below issues in the code to handle assoc failure case correctly. 1) "status" variable in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() is not correctly updated. Hence driver doesn't inform cfg80211 stack about association failure. 2) During association network queues are stopped but carrier is not cleared, which gives Tx timeout error in failure case Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
