If we happen to have registered the driver without passing a MAC address, we will print a zero MAC address and register the interface with this invalid address, this is confusin. This patch moves the checking of a valid ethernet address and the generation of a random one down from the open function to the probe function.

smc91x.h defines SMC_IRQ_FLAGS to be -1 when it wants the interrupt flags to be taken from the resource structure. However, d280eadc changed this to checking for non-zero resource flags. Unfortunately, this means that on some platforms, we end up passing '-1' to request_irq rather than the desired result. Combine the two conditions into one so that the IRQ flags are taken from the resource if either SMC_IRQ_FLAGS is -1 or the resource flags specify an interrupt trigger. This restores network on at least the Versatile platform. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Acked-by: Eric Miao <eric.y.miao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The newer chipsets (all PCI-E) are known that they need full power cycle (AC or battery removal) to reset MAC address to a hardwired one. Previous patch to address this problem loads the original MAC address from EEPROM. But it brought other problem for which it is necessary to introduce a new module parameter. However, it might suffice to restore the initial MAC address before shutdown/reboot/kexec and when removing the module. Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv4 ip_frag_reasm(), fully replace 'dev_net(dev)' with 'net', defined previously patched into 2.6.29. Between 2.6.28.10 and 2.6.29, net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c was patched, changing from dev_net(dev) to container_of(...). Unfortunately the goto section (out_fail) on oversized packets inside ip_frag_reasm() didn't get touched up as well. Oversized IP packets cause a NULL pointer dereference and immediate hang. I discovered this running openvasd and my previous email on this is titled: NULL pointer dereference at 2.6.32-rc8:net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c:566 Signed-off-by: David Ford <david@blue-labs.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul authored
When retransmitting due to T3 timeout, retransmit all the in-flight chunks for the corresponding transport/path, including chunks sent less then 1 rto ago. This is the correct behaviour according to rfc4960 section 6.3.3 E3 and "Note: Any DATA chunks that were sent to the address for which the T3-rtx timer expired but did not fit in one MTU (rule E3 above) should be marked for retransmission and sent as soon as cwnd allows (normally, when a SACK arrives). ". This fixes problems when more then one path is present and the T3 retransmission of the first chunk that timeouts stops the T3 timer for the initial active path, leaving all the other in-flight chunks waiting forever or until a new chunk is transmitted on the same path and timeouts (and this will happen only if the cwnd allows sending new chunks, but since cwnd was dropped to MTU by the timeout => it will wait until the first heartbeat). Example: 10 packets in flight, sent at 0.1 s intervals on the primary path. The primary path is down and the first packet timeouts. The first packet is retransmitted on another path, the T3 timer for the primary path is stopped and cwnd is set to MTU. All the other 9 in-flight packets will not be retransmitted (unless more new packets are sent on the primary path which depend on cwnd allowing it, and even in this case the 9 packets will be retransmitted only after a new packet timeouts which even in the best case would be more then RTO). This commit reverts d0ce9291 and also removes the now unused transport->last_rto, introduced in b6157d8e. p.s The problem is not only when multiple paths are there. It can happen in a single homed environment. If the application stops sending data, it possible to have a hung association.

Commit e6fce5b9 (pktgen: multiqueue etc.) tried to relax the pktgen restriction of one device per kernel thread, adding a '@' tag to device names. Problem is we dont perform check on full pktgen device name. This allows adding many time same 'device' to pktgen thread pgset "add_device eth0@0" one session later : pgset "add_device eth0@0" (This doesnt find previous device) This consumes ~1.5 MBytes of vmalloc memory per round and also triggers this warning : [ 673.186380] proc_dir_entry 'pktgen/eth0@0' already registered [ 673.186383] Modules linked in: pktgen ixgbe ehci_hcd psmouse mdio mousedev evdev [last unloaded: pktgen] [ 673.186406] Pid: 6219, comm: bash Tainted: G W 2.6.32-rc7-03302-g41cec6f1-dirty #16 [ 673.186410] Call Trace: [ 673.186417] [<ffffffff8104a29b>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7b/0xc0 [ 673.186422] [<ffffffff8104a341>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x41/0x50 [ 673.186426] [<ffffffff8114e789>] proc_register+0x109/0x210 [ 673.186433] [<ffffffff8100bf2e>] ? apic_timer_interrupt+0xe/0x20 [ 673.186438] [<ffffffff8114e905>] proc_create_data+0x75/0xd0 [ 673.186444] [<ffffffffa006ad38>] pktgen_thread_write+0x568/0x640 [pktgen] [ 673.186449] [<ffffffffa006a7d0>] ? pktgen_thread_write+0x0/0x640 [pktgen] [ 673.186453] [<ffffffff81149144>] proc_reg_write+0x84/0xc0 [ 673.186458] [<ffffffff810f5a58>] vfs_write+0xb8/0x180 [ 673.186463] [<ffffffff810f5c11>] sys_write+0x51/0x90 [ 673.186468] [<ffffffff8100b51b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 673.186470] ---[ end trace ccbb991b0a8d994d ]--- Solution to this problem is to use a odevname field (includes @ tag and suffix), instead of using netdevice name.

o Along with netdev->perm_addr, mac address will be maintained in device private structure. o Device limitation: We need to set mac address when ever interface comes up. In ALB/TAL mode, bonding driver calls set_mac for all slave with bond mac address. But bonding driver set netdev->dev_addr field to its original value, after enslaving interfaces. When ever active slave changes, it swap dev_addr of inactive slave with active. Yet it doesn't notify driver about change in netdev->dev_addr. As netxen driver need to set mac addr when ever interface comes up, it can't rely on netdev->dev_addr field. Specially in case of bonding mode ALB/TLB.

Summary of Changes: -Fix to receive multicast packets by setting the corresponding hardware bit during initialization. -Fix to re-enable the interface [by interface up command(ifup)] while the interface is down. -Fix to be able to down the interface by passing the last parameter correctly to request_irq(). -Remove to read 4 extra bytes from the receiving queue after reading a packet, even though it does not cause a predictable issue now. -Remove occurrences of transmission done interrupt in order to tx throughput enhancement. -Enable IP checksum for packet receiving by setting the corresponding hardware bit during initialization. -Relocate ks_enable_int()/ks_disable_int() in order not to declare those functions at the beginning of the file. -Rename ks_enable()/_disable() to ks_enable_qmu()/ks_disable_qmu() in order to give more meaningful names and relocate them not declaire those functions at the beginning of the file.

When mac80211 resumes, it currently first sets suspended to false so the driver can start doing things and we can receive frames. However, if we actually receive frames then it can end up starting some work which adds timers and then later runs into a BUG_ON in the timer code because it tries add_timer() on a pending timer. Fix this by keeping track of the resuming process by introducing a new variable 'resuming' which gets set to true early on instead of setting 'suspended' to false, and allow queueing work but not receiving frames while resuming.
