In some cases, the network device driver knows what layer-3 address the device should have. This adds support for the Phonet stack to automatically request from the driver and add that address to the network device.

The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace application it is important to classify these devices correctly and not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid. To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available within udev. # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent DEVTYPE=wlan INTERFACE=wlan0 IFINDEX=5 This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc. The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

MPC8360 QE UCC ethernet controllers hang when changing link duplex under a load (a bit of NFS activity is enough). PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Up - 1000/Full sh-3.00# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex half autoneg off PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Down PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Up - 100/Half NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (ucc_geth): transmit queue 0 timed out ------------[ cut here ]------------ Badness at c01fcbd0 [verbose debug info unavailable] NIP: c01fcbd0 LR: c01fcbd0 CTR: c0194e44 ... The cure is to disable the controller before changing speed/duplex and enable it afterwards. Though, disabling the controller might take quite a while, so we better not grab any spinlocks in adjust_link(). Instead, we quiesce the driver's activity, and only then disable the controller.

Kalle Olavi Niemitalo reported that: "..., when one process calls sendmsg once to send 43804 bytes of data and one file descriptor, and another process then calls recvmsg three times to receive the 16032+16032+11740 bytes, each of those recvmsg calls returns the file descriptor in the ancillary data. I confirmed this with strace. The behaviour differs from Linux 2.6.26, where reportedly only one of those recvmsg calls (I think the first one) returned the file descriptor." This bug was introduced by a patch from me titled "net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector", commit 6209344f. And the reason is, quoting Kalle: "Before your patch, unix_attach_fds() would set scm->fp = NULL, so that if the loop in unix_stream_sendmsg() ran multiple iterations, it could not call unix_attach_fds() again. But now, unix_attach_fds() leaves scm->fp unchanged, and I think this causes it to be called multiple times and duplicate the same file descriptors to each struct sk_buff." Fix this by introducing a flag that is cleared at the start and set when the fds attached to the first buffer. The resulting code should work equivalently to the one on 2.6.26.

When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old qdisc has been destroyed. Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs. Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.

The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore, and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware. It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users out there please let us know!

The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK consume time are different then the values as used by the Legacy drivers. After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that the calculated values caused a high amount of TX failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to excessive retries. The symptoms of this problem: - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely) - Problems with DHCP - Broken connections due to lack of probe response This should fix at least: Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273] Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203] but possible some additional bugs as well.

apply the conformance test limits (CTL) stored in the eeprom upon the values calculated for the tx power (ar->power_*). This is based on the implementation in the vendor driver (hal/hpmain.c, line 3700 ff.) with one difference: If any ctl mode isn't found in the eeprom, we fall back to the "lower", legacy modes (5GHT20,11A or 2GHT20,11G,11B). Otus only did 5GHT20->11A. Currently CTL are applied for the FCC group only. Signed-off-by: Joerg Albert <jal2@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
