'dccp_timestamp_seed' is initialized once by ktime_get_real() in dccp_timestamping_init(). It is always less than ktime_get_real() in dccp_timestamp(). Then, ktime_us_delta() in dccp_timestamp() will always return positive number. So can use manual type cast to let compiler and do_div() know about it to avoid warning. The related warning (with allmodconfig under unicore32): CC [M] net/dccp/timer.o net/dccp/timer.c: In function ‘dccp_timestamp’: net/dccp/timer.c:285: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast Signed-off-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen.5i5j@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit e1943128 (drivers: net: davinci_cpdma: Convert kzalloc() to devm_kzalloc()) triggered a bug in emac_probe() wherein dev member of net_device is used for devres allocations even before it is initialized. This patch fixes that by using the struct device in platform_device instead. While at it, use &pdev->dev consistently for console messages instead of using ndev->dev for just one case and remove an unnecessary line continuation.

Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: of_phy_connect_fixed_link removal This patch set removes of_phy_connect_fixed_link() from the tree now that we have a better solution for dealing with fixed PHY (emulated PHY) devices for drivers that require them. First two patches update the 'fixed-link' Device Tree binding and drivers to refere to it. Patches 3 to 7 update the in-tree network drivers that use of_phy_connect_fixed_link() Patch 8 removes of_phy_connect_fixed_link Patch 9 removes the PowerPC code that parsed the 'fixed-link' property. Patch 9 can be merged via the net-next tree if the PowerPC folks ack it, but it really has to be merged after the first 8 patches in order to avoid breakage. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Florian Fainelli authored
Parsing and registration of fixed PHY devices was needed with the use of of_phy_connect_fixed_link() because this function was using the designated PHY address identifier (first cell of the property) as the address to bind the PHY on the emulated bus. Since commit 3be2a49e ("of: provide a binding for fixed link PHYs") a new pair of functions has been introduced which allows for dynamic address allocation of these fixed PHY devices, but also parses the old 'fixed-link' 5-digit property. Registration of fixed PHY early in platform code was needed because we could not issue a fixed MDIO bus re-scan within network drivers. The fixed PHYs had to be registered before the network drivers would call of_phy_connect_fixed_link(). All of these caveats are solved now, such that we can safely remove of_add_fixed_phys() now.

Probably whatever csum offload type is > the most prevelant should be the one advertised by the master. It > means we will do that software checksum fixup for the oddball slaves, > but it seems the best we can do. I've been thinking about it some more and I believe what I proposed is correct: features that are or-ed (ONE_FOR_ALL) should start with 0, those which are and-ed (ALL_FOR_ALL) with 1. But once we do that, we have to fix another problem in vlan module: features of a vlan device are mostly computed as bitwise AND of features and vlan_features of its underlying device. The problem is checksumming features don't really behave like independent flags as their main purpose is to be used in can_checksum_protocol() whose logic is that HW_CSUM (GEN_CSUM) means "can checksum everything" so that it kind of contains IP(V6)_CSUM functionality. Therefore intersection of HW_CSUM and IP(V6)_CSUM should result in the latter. An alternative approach would be to always set IP(V6)_CSUM once HW_CSUM (any of GEN_CSUM) is set but as for long time people were taught not to do that and we even have a warning for it, switching to the exact opposite could cause a lot of problems. > Also, like Jay, I agree that whatever we do in bonding needs to be > done in team too and I'd like the bug fixed at the same time in both > places.

__team_compute_features() uses netdev_increment_features() to combine vlan_features of slaves into vlan_features of the team. As netdev_increment_features() only adds most features and we start with TEAM_VLAN_FEATURES, we can end up with features none of the slaves provided. Initialize vlan_features only with the flags which are both in TEAM_VLAN_FEATURES and NETIF_F_ALL_FOR_ALL. Right now there is no such feature so that we actually initialize vlan_features with zero but stating it explicitely will make the code more future proof.

When combining real_dev's features and vlan_features, simple bitwise AND is used. This doesn't work well for checksum offloading features as if one set has NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and the other NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and/or NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, we end up with no checksum offloading. However, from the logical point of view (how can_checksum_protocol() works), NETIF_F_HW_CSUM contains the functionality of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM so that the result should be IP/IPV6. Add helper function netdev_intersect_features() implementing this logic and use it in vlan_dev_fix_features(). Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

Ezequiel Garcia says: ==================== net: Introduce a software TSO helper API Here's a first proposal for a generic software TSO helper API, following David's suggestion. There are at least two drivers that currently implement some form of software TSO: Solarflare network driver (drivers/net/ethernet/sfc) and Tilera GX network driver (drivers/net/ethernet/tile/tilegx.c). The rationale behind adding a generic API is to provide a boiler plate with the segmentation and other common tasks, making this support easier to add in other drivers. When designing the API, I've considered mainly two design choices: 1. Implement a series of callbacks that each driver would implement and the net core code would call to fill in descriptors and egress that data. 2. Implement an API for drivers to use in a driver's specific tx_tso function. This functions would exhaust a sk_buff payload, and use the API as helper for building the headers and segmented data. I've chosen (2), to avoid function pointers (which was Willy's concern) and because it seemed less fragile. Of course, this is argueable. The API is by no means complete, and lacks some features, however it allows to support TSO in mv643xx_eth and mvneta network drivers with some very good performance results. I've added this support as an example of the API in action. In particular the following needs some revisiting: 1. IPv6 support is lacking. 2. The required descriptor counting needs some verification. The current implementation might be too "sketchy". The tilegx one can be a good starting point. 3. The implemenation assumes the hardware can compute the TCP and IP checksums for the built headers. However, some controllers may need some initial calculation (such as tilegx, for instance). Despite this, I hope this proposal is good enough to trigger some discussion and to check if I'm on the right track. Feedback is much appreciated! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

As specified in the datasheet, the driver can set the "L4Chk_Mode" flag (bit 10) in the Tx descriptor command/status to specify that a frame is not IP fragmented and that the controller is in charge of generating the TCP/IP checksum. This must be used together with the "GL4chk" flag (bit 17). These two flags allow to avoid setting the initial TCP checksum in the l4i_chk field of the Tx descriptor, which is needed to support software TSO.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next, most relevantly they are: 1) Add set element update notification via netlink, from Arturo Borrero. 2) Put all object updates in one single message batch that is sent to kernel-space. Before this patch only rules where included in the batch. This series also introduces the generic transaction infrastructure so updates to all objects (tables, chains, rules and sets) are applied in an all-or-nothing fashion, these series from me. 3) Defer release of objects via call_rcu to reduce the time required to commit changes. The assumption is that all objects are destroyed in reverse order to ensure that dependencies betweem them are fulfilled (ie. rules and sets are destroyed first, then chains, and finally tables). 4) Allow to match by bridge port name, from Tomasz Bursztyka. This series include two patches to prepare this new feature. 5) Implement the proper set selection based on the characteristics of the data. The new infrastructure also allows you to specify your preferences in terms of memory and computational complexity so the underlying set type is also selected according to your needs, from Patrick McHardy. 6) Several cleanup patches for nft expressions, including one minor possible compilation breakage due to missing mark support, also from Patrick. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Shannon makes minor changes to the AdminQ interface to bring it up to date. Removes the hard coding of stats struct size in ethtool, in prep for adding data fields which are configuration dependent. Catherine removes some unused and unneeded PCI bus defines. Jesse fixes the copyright headers and finishes up the removal of the PTP Tx work functionality which allows us to rely on the Tx timesync interrupt. Mitch provides a number of fixes and cleanups for i40e/i40evf based on suggestions from Ben Hutchings. First is to use a macro parameter for ethtool stats instead of just assuming that a valid netdev variable exists. Second is not to tell ethtool that the VF can do 10GbaseT, when it really has no idea what its link speed is, so set the supported value to 0 instead. Make the ethtool_ops structure constant since it is extremely unlikely to change at runtime. Ethtool consistently reports 0 values for our ITR settings because we never actually use them, so fix this by setting the default values to the specified default values. Greg avoids a compile error by wrapping the call to i40e_alloc_vfs() in CONFIG_PCI_IOV because the function itself is wrapped in the same conditional compile block. Alexander Gordeev updates the driver to use the new pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range() or pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact(). Jean Sacren provides a fix where the wrong error code was being passed to i40e_open(). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Experience with the recent e114a710 ("tcp: fix cwnd limited checking to improve congestion control") has shown that there are common cases where that commit can cause cwnd to be much larger than necessary. This leads to TSO autosizing cooking skbs that are too large, among other things. The main problems seemed to be: (1) That commit attempted to predict the future behavior of the connection by looking at the write queue (if TSO or TSQ limit sending). That prediction sometimes overestimated future outstanding packets. (2) That commit always allowed cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding packets (even in congestion avoidance, where this is not needed). This commit improves both of these, by: (1) Switching to a measurement-based approach where we explicitly track the largest number of packets in flight during the past window ("max_packets_out"), and remember whether we were cwnd-limited at the moment we finished sending that flight. (2) Only allowing cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding packets ("max_packets_out") in slow start. In congestion avoidance mode we now only allow cwnd to grow if it was fully utilized.

Kernel API for classic BPF socket filters is: sk_unattached_filter_create() - validate classic BPF, convert, JIT SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it sk_unattached_filter_destroy() - destroy socket filter Cleanup internal BPF kernel API as following: sk_filter_select_runtime() - final step of internal BPF creation. Try to JIT internal BPF program, if JIT is not available select interpreter SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it sk_filter_free() - free internal BPF program Disallow direct calls to BPF interpreter. Execution of the BPF program should be done with SK_RUN_FILTER() macro. Example of internal BPF create, run, destroy: struct sk_filter *fp; fp = kzalloc(sk_filter_size(prog_len), GFP_KERNEL); memcpy(fp->insni, prog, prog_len * sizeof(fp->insni[0])); fp->len = prog_len; sk_filter_select_runtime(fp); SK_RUN_FILTER(fp, ctx); sk_filter_free(fp); Sockets, seccomp, testsuite, tracing are using different ways to populate sk_filter, so first steps of program creation are not common.
