This patch corrects a typo that was doing a less than comparison instead of a left shift due to the fact that I didn't get enough <'s in there. This resolves an issue in which vlans were not functioning correctly.

Add Pf to pool if adding a VLVF register value and the VFTA bit is already set. This patch addresses the unlikely situation that the PF adds a vlan entry when the vlvf is full, and a vf later adds the vlan to the vlvf.

The netif_running check in igb poll is a hold over from the use of fake netdevs to use multiple queues with NAPI prior to 2.6.24.

I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels with different speeds to the same bundle. Problem Description: As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel of the bundle. Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc, flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working @1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth). Problem Solution: The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode" function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on 1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels working at different speeds.

Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927. Here is quote of important information: " An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above, except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set to the host's newly selected IPv4 address. " But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227. " The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case where the address turns out to be already in use by another host. " When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip. Signed-off-by: Denys Fedoryshchenko <denys@visp.net.lb> Signed-off-by: David S.

The original patch was submitted last year but wasn't discussed or applied because of missing maintainer's CCs. I only fixed some formatting errors, but as I saw tulip is very badly formatted and needs further work. Original description: This patch fixes MTU problem, which occurs when using 802.1q VLANs. We should allow receiving frames of up to 1518 bytes in length, instead of 1514. Based on patch written by Ben McKeegan for 2.4.x kernels. It is archived at http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html#tulip I've adjusted a few things to make it apply on 2.6.x kernels. Tested on D-Link DFE-570TX quad-fastethernet card.

It closes a race in phy_stop_machine when reprogramming of phy_timer (from phy_state_machine) happens between del_timer_sync and cancel_work_sync. Without this change it could lead to crash if phy_device would be freed after phy_stop_machine (timer would fire and schedule freed work).

Changing the mac address when a macvlan device is up will leave the device on the wrong hash chain making it impossible to receive packets. There is no checking of the mac address set on the macvlan. Allowing a misconfiguration to grab packets from the the underlying device or another macvlan. To resolve these problems I update the hash table of macvlans when the mac address of a macvlan changes, and when updating the hash table I verify that the new mac address is usable. The result is well defined and predictable if not perfect handling of mac vlan mac addresses. To keep the code clear I have created a set of hash table maintenance in macvlan so I am not open coding the hash function and the logic needed to update the hash table all over the place.

When running in a network namespace whose only link to the outside world is a macvlan device, not being able to create another macvlan is a real pain. So modify macvlan creation to allow automatically forward a creation of a macvlan on a macvlan to become a creation of a macvlan on the underlying network device.

Similar patch as for 8139cp posted yesterday, so the same comment: So far there was not a chance to set a mac address on running 8139too device.

RFC5061 states: Each adaptation layer that is defined that wishes to use this parameter MUST specify an adaptation code point in an appropriate RFC defining its use and meaning. If the user has not set one - assume they don't want to sent the param with a zero Adaptation Code Point. Rationale - Currently the IANA defines zero as reserved - and 1 as the only valid value - so we consider zero to be unset - to save adding a boolean to the socket structure. Including this parameter unconditionally causes endpoints that do not understand it to report errors unnecessarily.
