Most network drivers request their IRQ when the interface is activated.
skge does it in ->probe() instead, because it can work with two-port
cards where the two net_devices use the same IRQ. This works fine most
of the time, except in some situations when the interface gets renamed.
Consider this example:

1. modprobe skge
   The card is detected as eth0 and requests IRQ 17. Directory
   /proc/irq/17/eth0 is created.
2. There is an udev rule which says this interface should be called
   eth1, so udev renames eth0 -> eth1.
3. modprobe 8139too
   The Realtek card is detected as eth0. It will be using IRQ 17 too.
4. ip link set eth0 up
   Now 8139too requests IRQ 17.

The result is:
WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:590 proc_register ...
proc_dir_entry '17/eth0' already registered
...
And "ls /proc/irq/17" shows two subdirectories, both called eth0.

Fix it by using a unique name for skge's IRQ, based on the PCI address.
The naming from the example then looks like this:
$ grep skge /proc/interrupts
 17:        169   IO-APIC-fasteoi   skge@pci:0000:00:0a.0, eth0

irqbalance daemon will have to be taught to recognize "skge@" as an
Ethernet interrupt. This will be a one-liner addition in classify.c. I
will send a patch to irqbalance if this change is accepted.

IPv4 TCP fails to send window scale option when window scale is zero · 89e95a61

Ori Finkelman authored Oct 01, 2009

Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK
and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero.

This fixes the following observed behavior:

1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale
value to a Linux box.
2. Linux box notes large receive window from client.
3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part.
4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to
 send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all.

With the following result:

Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no
TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is
supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had  TCP window scale
option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server
regarding window sizes.

Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice):

1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server.
2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale.
3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does
not to set windows scale TCP  option header on SYN.

With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option
due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal
performance.

bonding: set primary param via sysfs · ce501caf

Jiri Pirko authored Sep 18, 2009

Primary module parameter passed to bonding is pernament. That means if you
release the primary slave and enslave it again, it becomes the primary slave
again. But if you set primary slave via sysfs, the primary slave is only set
once and it's not remembered in bond->params structure. Therefore the setting is
lost after releasing the primary slave. This simple one-liner fixes this.

pktgen: Fix delay handling · 417bc4b8

Eric Dumazet authored Oct 01, 2009

After last pktgen changes, delay handling is wrong.

pktgen actually sends packets at full line speed.

Fix is to update pkt_dev->next_tx even if spin() returns early,
so that next spin() calls have a chance to see a positive delay.

3c59x: Rework suspend and resume · 7bfc4ab5

Anton Vorontsov authored Sep 30, 2009

As noticed by Alan Stern, there is still one issue with the driver:
we disable PCI IRQ on suspend, but other devices on the same IRQ
line might still need the IRQ enabled to suspend properly.

Nowadays, PCI core handles all power management work by itself, with
one condition though: if we use dev_pm_ops. So, rework the driver to
only quiesce 3c59x internal logic on suspend, while PCI core will
manage PCI device power state with IRQs disabled.
