      fec: fix recursive locking of mii_lock · 84177a20
      Uwe Kleine-König authored 
      mii_discover_phy is only called by fec_enet_mii (via mip->mii_func).  So
&fep->mii_lock is already held and mii_discover_phy must not call
mii_queue which locks &fep->mii_lock, too.

This was noticed by lockdep:

      NET: Fix possible corruption in bpqether driver · 3eb00275
      Ralf Baechle authored 
      The bpq ether driver is modifying the data art of the skb by first
dropping the KISS byte (a command byte for the radio) then prepending the
length + 4 of the remaining AX.25 packet to be transmitted as a little
endian 16-bit number.  If the high byte of the length has a different
value than the dropped KISS byte users of clones of the skb may observe
this as corruption.  This was observed with by running listen(8) -a which
uses a packet socket which clones transmit packets.  The corruption will
then typically be displayed for as a KISS "TX Delay" command for AX.25
packets in the range of 252..508 bytes or any other KISS command for
yet larger packets.

Fixed by using skb_cow to create a private copy should the skb be cloned.
Using skb_cow also allows us to cleanup the old logic to ensure sufficient
headroom in the skb.

While at it, replace a return of 0 from bpq_xmit with the proper constant
NETDEV_TX_OK which is now being used everywhere else in this function.

Affected: all 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

      tcp: replace hard coded GFP_KERNEL with sk_allocation · aa133076
      Wu Fengguang authored 
      This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress
memory tests over NFS:

	inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.

	page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock

	mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock =>
			tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim

David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's
GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting
for the allocation to succeed.

But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks
weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could
loop endlessly under memory pressure.

      net/ethtool: Add support for the ethtool feature to flash firmware image from a specified file. · 05c6a8d7
      Ajit Khaparde authored 
      This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool.
The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image
using the request firmware path.

The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option.
It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool,
to the region to be flashed.

The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip.

      ip: Report qdisc packet drops · 6ce9e7b5
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      Christoph Lameter pointed out that packet drops at qdisc level where not
accounted in SNMP counters. Only if application sets IP_RECVERR, drops
are reported to user (-ENOBUFS errors) and SNMP counters updated.

IP_RECVERR is used to enable extended reliable error message passing,
but these are not needed to update system wide SNMP stats.

This patch changes things a bit to allow SNMP counters to be updated,
regardless of IP_RECVERR being set or not on the socket.

Example after an UDP tx flood
# netstat -s 
...
IP:
    1487048 outgoing packets dropped
...
Udp:
...
    SndbufErrors: 1487048


send() syscalls, do however still return an OK status, to not
break applications.

Note : send() manual page explicitly says for -ENOBUFS error :

 "The output queue for a network interface was full.
  This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending,
  but may be caused by transient congestion.
  (Normally, this does not occur in Linux. Packets are just silently
  dropped when a device queue overflows.) "

This is not true for IP_RECVERR enabled sockets : a send() syscall
that hit a qdisc drop returns an ENOBUFS error.

Many thanks to Christoph, David, and last but not least, Alexey !

      vlan: multiqueue vlan device · 2e59af3d
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      vlan devices are currently not multi-queue capable.

We can do that with a new rtnl_link_ops method,
get_tx_queues(), called from rtnl_create_link()

This new method gets num_tx_queues/real_num_tx_queues
from real device.

register_vlan_device() is also handled.
