gro can be enabled by default on bonding devices. Actual support depends on the lower devices. One can still use ethtool to switch off GRO if needed. Signed-off-by:

The ethtool utility does not set masks for flow parameters that are not specified, so if both value and mask are 0 then this must be treated as equivalent to a mask with all bits set. Currently that is done in the only driver that implements RX n-tuple filtering, ixgbe. Move it to the ethtool core. Signed-off-by:

previously, if a vlan master device was moved from one network namespace to another, all 802.1q and macvlan slaves were deleted. we can use dev->reg_state to figure out whether dev_change_net_namespace is happening, since that won't set dev->reg_state NETREG_UNREGISTERING. so, this changes 8021q and macvlan to ignore NETDEV_UNREGISTER when reg_state is not NETREG_UNREGISTERING.

The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic for handling the checksum offloading. This was designed according to the chips included in the STM platforms where: o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all. o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE. This is not good for other chip configurations where, for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW or when the GMAC has no IPC. Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the GMAC devices. This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW. Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this. In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to limited buffer sizes). This information is also passed through the driver's platform structure. Signed-off-by:

To be able to switch on GRO on a device, ethtool_set_gro() checks this device provides a get_rx_csum() method. Some devices dont provide this method, while they do support RX checksumming. This patch allows bonding to support GRO : ethtool -K bond0 gro on Signed-off-by:

This was previously reported as a security issue due to leakage of uninitialized stack memory. Jeff Mahoney pointed out that this is incorrect since the copied data is from a union (rather than a struct). Therefore, this patch is only under consideration for the sake of correctness, and is not security relevant. Signed-off-by:

commit ab95bfe0 (net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb) added rx_handler at wrong place, between two cache line aligned objects, creating a big hole (a full cache line) Move rx_handler and rx_handler_data before rx_queue, filling existing hole. Move master field in the cache line(s) used in receive path. This saves 64 bytes (or L1_CACHE_BYTES), and avoids two possible cache misses in receive path. Signed-off-by:

Currently vlan devices don't have GRO by default as none of the Ethernet drivers add NETIF_F_GRO to their vlan_features. As GRO is a software feature add GRO to dev->vlan_features in register_netdevice() and let vlan_dev_init() take care that it gets enabled only when dev->features has NETIF_F_GRO too. Signed-off-by:

I wish we could use something cleaner, such as bind(). But that would not work since resource subscription is orthogonal/in addition to the normal object ID allocated via bind(). This is similar to multicasting which also uses ioctl()'s. Signed-off-by:

When both destination device and object are nul, Phonet routes the packet according to the resource field. In fact, this is the most common pattern when sending Phonet "request" packets. In this case, the packet is delivered to whichever endpoint (socket) has registered the resource. This adds a new table so that Linux processes can register their Phonet sockets to Phonet resources, if they have adequate privileges. (Namespace support is not implemented at the moment.)

Closing a pipe endpoint is not normally allowed by the Phonet pipe, other than as a side after-effect of removing the pipe between two endpoints. But there is no way to prevent Linux userspace processes from being killed or suffering from bugs, so this can still happen. We might as well forcefully close Phonet pipe endpoints then. The cellular modem supports only a few existing pipes at a time. So we really should not leak them. This change instructs the modem to destroy the pipe if either of the pipe's endpoint (Linux socket) is closed too early. Signed-off-by:

The isdn4linux driver uses the big kernel lock only to serialize access to a few fields in its own modem_info structure. The easiest replacement is a driver-wide mutex. More fine-grained locking would be more appropriate here, but likely harder to implement. Signed-off-by:

struct ethtool_rawip4_spec and struct ethtool_ether_spec are neither commented nor used by any driver, so remove them. Adjust padding in the user-visible unions that included these structures. Fix references to struct ethtool_rawip4_spec in ethtool_get_rx_ntuple(), which should use struct ethtool_usrip4_spec. struct ethtool_usrip4_spec cannot hold IPv6 host addresses and there is no separate structure that can, so remove ETH_RX_NFC_IP6 and the reference to it in niu.
