When the page size is not 4KB, the FW must be programmed to work with the right SGE boundaries and fragment list length. To avoid confusion with the BCM_PAGE_SIZE which is set to 4KB for the FW sake, another alias for the system page size was added to explicitly indicate that it is meant for the SGE Signed-off-by:

Since slow-path events, including link update, are handled in work-queue, a race condition was introduced in the self-test that sometimes caused the link status to fail: the self-test was running under RTNL lock, and if the link-watch was scheduled it stoped the shared work-queue (waiting for the RTNL lock) and so the link update event was not handled until the self-test ended (releasing the RTNL lock) with failure (since the link status was not updated) Signed-off-by:

Due to the loopback functionality in can_send() we can not invoke it from hardirq context which was done inside the bcm_tx_timeout_handler() hrtimer callback: [ 700.361154] [<c012228c>] warn_slowpath+0x80/0xb6 [ 700.361163] [<c013d559>] valid_state+0x125/0x136 [ 700.361171] [<c013d858>] mark_lock+0x18e/0x332 [ 700.361180] [<c013e300>] __lock_acquire+0x12e/0xb1e [ 700.361189] [<f8ab5915>] bcm_tx_timeout_handler+0x0/0xbc [can_bcm] [ 700.361198] [<c031e20a>] dev_queue_xmit+0x191/0x479 [ 700.361206] [<c01262a7>] __local_bh_disable+0x2b/0x64 [ 700.361213] [<c031e20a>] dev_queue_xmit+0x191/0x479 [ 700.361225] [<f8aa69a1>] can_send+0xd7/0x11a [can] [ 700.361235] [<f8ab522b>] bcm_can_tx+0x9d/0xd9 [can_bcm] [ 700.361245] [<f8ab597f>] bcm_tx_timeout_handler+0x6a/0xbc [can_bcm] [ 700.361255] [<f8ab5915>] bcm_tx_timeout_handler+0x0/0xbc [can_bcm] [ 700.361263] [<c0134143>] __run_hrtimer+0x5a/0x86 [ 700.361273] [<f8ab5915>] bcm_tx_timeout_handler+0x0/0xbc [can_bcm] [ 700.361282] [<c0134a50>] hrtimer_interrupt+0xb9/0x110 This patch moves the rest of the functionality from the hrtimer callback to the already existing tasklet to fix this slowpath problem.

This patch hooks up the start_xmit/tx_timeout/get_stats callbacks in the ax88796 driver since they no longer are installed by the lib8390 code. Without this patch the function dev_hard_start_xmit() crashes due to a start_xmit callback with the value NULL. While at it, update the ax88796 driver to make use of use of struct net_device_ops.

This adds an init_dummy_netdev() function that gets a network device structure (allocation and lifetime entirely under caller's control) and initialize the minimum amount of fields so it can be used to schedule NAPI polls without registering a full blown interface. This is to be used by drivers that need to tie several hardware interfaces to a single NAPI poll scheduler due to HW limitations. It also updates the ibm_newemac driver to use that, this fixing the oops on 2.6.29 due to passing NULL as "dev" to netif_napi_add() Symbol is exported GPL only a I don't think we want binary drivers doing that sort of acrobatics (if we want them at all).

The attached patch modifies the sis900 driver when the MAC address read from the hardware is invalid. As suggested, the patch now generates a random address so that the user can go on and use the hardware. In any case a message is also shown to warn on the unexpected condition. This seems to happen with newer HW implementation of the sis900 chipset, since this never came up before. Patch is against vanilla 2.6.28 (but the driver doesn't change so often, so it will probably apply to older/newer versions too). See bugzilla ID 10201 and 11649 and ignore the previous patch.

When an skb with page frags is merged into an existing one, we cannibalise its reference count. This is OK when the skb is reused because we set nr_frags to zero in that case. However, for the case where the skb is freed through kfree_skb, we didn't clear nr_frags which causes the page to be freed prematurely. This is fixed by moving the skb resetting into skb_gro_receive.

When an i4l ppp interface is shut down (e.g. with /sbin/ifdown ippp0) a scary warning is logged: isdn_free_channel: called with invalid drv(-1) or channel(-1) This warning is caused by isdn_net_unbind_channel(), which always calls isdn_free_channel() even if isdn_net_local->isdn_device and isdn_net_local->isdn_channel are (still) in a perfectly acceptable default state, so let's not do that.

Freescale on-chip TBI PHYs reports PHY ID as 0x0, but as of commit 3ee82383 Author: Giulio Benetti <giulio.benetti@micronovasrl.com> Date: Thu Nov 13 21:53:13 2008 +0000 phy: fix phy address bug PHYID returns 0xffff and not 0xffffffff when not found and in some case(at91sam9263) 0x0. Maybe this patch could be useful. phy_device.c treats PHY ID == 0x0 as bogus IDs, and that results in gianfar driver failure to see the TBI PHYs. This code snippet triggers: if (!priv->tbiphy) { printk(KERN_WARNING "SGMII mode requires that the device " "tree specify a tbi-handle\n"); return; } Although tbi-handle is specified in the device tree. Btw, technically PHY ID == 0x0 is a valid ID (if we ever see a PHY manufactured by Xerox :-). Signed-off-by:

As GRO cannot be applied to packets with frag_list we need to make sure that we reject such packets if they are fed to us, e.g., through a tunnel device. Also there is no point in applying GRO on GSO packets so they too should be rejected. This allows GRO to be used in virtio-net which may produce GSO packets directly but may still benefit from GRO if the other end of it doesn't support GSO. Signed-off-by:

As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not optimal. It processes at most one segment per call. This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO. Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less often. With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return 16*1460 = 23360 bytes. Signed-off-by:

The commits: 7a95d267 ("net: ppp_generic - use idr technique instead of cardmaps") ab5024ab ("net: ppp_generic - use DEFINE_IDR for static initialization") introduced usage of IDR functionality but broke userspace side. Before this commits it was possible to allocate new ppp interface with specified number. Now it fails with EINVAL. Fix it by trying to allocate interface with specified unit number and return EEXIST if fail which allow pppd to ask us to allocate new unit number. And fix messages on memory allocation fails - add details that it's PPP module who is complaining. Signed-off-by:

The commit merged TX and RX interrupt code into a single routine that schedules NAPI, but no locks were introduced. This causes irq races, so when irqs are enabled and netif_rx_schedule_prep() returns 0, nobody disable the interrupts again. This leads to interrupt storm and finally to the lockup. Signed-off-by:

Currently htb_do_events() breaks events recounting for a level after 2 jiffies, but there is no reason to repeat this for next levels and increase delays even more (with softirqs disabled). htb_dequeue_tree() can add to this too, btw.

Next event time should consider jiffies used for recounting. Otherwise qdisc_watchdog_schedule() triggers hrtimer immediately with the event in the past, and may cause very high ksoftirqd cpu usage (if highres is on). There is also removed checking "event" for zero in htb_dequeue(): it's always true in this place. Signed-off-by:

nf_conntrack_alloc cannot return NULL, so there is no need to check for NULL before using the value. I have also removed the initialization of ct to NULL in nf_conntrack_alloc, since the value is never used, and since perhaps it might lead one to think that return ct at the end might return NULL.
