This patch removes all the Koptions added to build the glue-logic files for all different architectures: DWMAC_MESON, DWMAC_SUNXI, DWMAC_STI ... Nowadays the stmmac needs to be compiled on several platforms; in some case it very convenient to guarantee that its build is always completed with success on all the branches where the driver is present.

When a sysfs binary file is asked to be removed, it is found by attribute name, so strictly speaking this change is not a fix, but just in case when attribute name is changed in the driver or sysfs internals are changed, it might be better to remove the previously created file using right the same binary attribute.

Florian Westphal says: ==================== net: allow setting ecn via routing table Here is v4 of the patchset, its exactly the same as v3 except in patch3/3 where I added the missing 'const' qualifier to a function argument that Eric spotted during review. I preserved Erics Acks so that he doesn't have to resend them. v3 cover letter: When using syn cookies, then do not simply trust that the echoed timestamp was not modified to make sure that ecn is not turned on magically when it is disabled on the host. The first two patches, which were not part of earlier series, prepare the cookie code for the ecn route metrics change by allowing is to more easily use the existing dst object for ecn validation. The 3rd patch adds the ecn route metric feature support. It is almost the same as in v2, except that we'll now also test the dst_features when decoding a syn cookie timestamp that indicates ecn support. These three patches then allow turning on explicit congestion notification based on the destination network. For example, assuming the default tcp_ecn sysctl '2', the following will enable ecn (tcp_ecn=1 behaviour, i.e. request ecn to be enabled for a tcp connection) for all connections to hosts inside the 192.168.2/24 network: ip route change 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 features ecn Having a more fine-grained per-route setting can be beneficial for various reasons, for example 1) within data centers, or 2) local ISPs may deploy ECN support for their own video/streaming services [1], etc. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann, feature suggested by Hannes Frederic Sowa. The patch to enable this in iproute2 will be posted shortly, it is currently also available here: http://git.breakpoint.cc/cgit/fw/iproute2.git/commit/?h=iproute_features&id=8843d2d8973fb81c78a7efe6d42e3a17d739003e [1] http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/89/slides/slides-89-tsvarea-1.pdf, p.15 ==================== Signed-off-by:

This patch allows to set ECN on a per-route basis in case the sysctl tcp_ecn is not set to 1. In other words, when ECN is set for specific routes, it provides a tcp_ecn=1 behaviour for that route while the rest of the stack acts according to the global settings. One can use 'ip route change dev $dev $net features ecn' to toggle this. Having a more fine-grained per-route setting can be beneficial for various reasons, for example, 1) within data centers, or 2) local ISPs may deploy ECN support for their own video/streaming services [1], etc. There was a recent measurement study/paper [2] which scanned the Alexa's publicly available top million websites list from a vantage point in US, Europe and Asia: Half of the Alexa list will now happily use ECN (tcp_ecn=2, most likely blamed to commit 255cac91 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN") ;)); the break in connectivity on-path was found is about 1 in 10,000 cases. Timeouts rather than receiving back RSTs were much more common in the negotiation phase (and mostly seen in the Alexa middle band, ranks around 50k-150k): from 12-thousand hosts on which there _may_ be ECN-linked connection failures, only 79 failed with RST when _not_ failing with RST when ECN is not requested. It's unclear though, how much equipment in the wild actually marks CE when buffers start to fill up. We thought about a fallback to non-ECN for retransmitted SYNs as another global option (which could perhaps one day be made default), but as Eric points out, there's much more work needed to detect broken middleboxes. Two examples Eric mentioned are buggy firewalls that accept only a single SYN per flow, and middleboxes that successfully let an ECN flow establish, but later mark CE for all packets (so cwnd converges to 1).

The function cookie_check_timestamp(), both called from IPv4/6 context, is being used to decode the echoed timestamp from the SYN/ACK into TCP options used for follow-up communication with the peer. We can remove ECN handling from that function, split it into a separate one, and simply rename the original function into cookie_decode_options(). cookie_decode_options() just fills in tcp_option struct based on the echoed timestamp received from the peer. Anything that fails in this function will actually discard the request socket. While this is the natural place for decoding options such as ECN which commit 172d69e6 ("syncookies: add support for ECN") added, we argue that in particular for ECN handling, it can be checked at a later point in time as the request sock would actually not need to be dropped from this, but just ECN support turned off. Therefore, we split this functionality into cookie_ecn_ok(), which tells us if the timestamp indicates ECN support AND the tcp_ecn sysctl is enabled. This prepares for per-route ECN support: just looking at the tcp_ecn sysctl won't be enough anymore at that point; if the timestamp indicates ECN and sysctl tcp_ecn == 0, we will also need to check the ECN dst metric. This would mean adding a route lookup to cookie_check_timestamp(), which we definitely want to avoid. As we already do a route lookup at a later point in cookie_{v4,v6}_check(), we can simply make use of that as well for the new cookie_ecn_ok() function w/o any additional cost.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-11-03 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Akeem adds a check for i40e so that flow director flush and reinit are not done when flow director is not enabled. Mitch fixes the i40evf driver to properly handle multiple admin queue messages, by reinit the msg_size field each time we go through the loop. Without this, we may receive truncated messages due to the firmware thinking we have insufficient buffer size. Also fixes the link checking logic to only check the carrier state if the interface is actually open, which allows link changes to be reported correctly without spamming the VFs. Updates i40e to inset the VSI ID in the QTX_CTL register when configuring queues for VMDq VSIs. Paul adds support for 10G-base-T in i40evf. Jesse fixes i40e where the call to irq_dynamic_disable() was turning off the interrupt completely when trying to set ITR to 0 (for lowest moderation). Shannon removes debugfs dump stats function, since it was not being kept up-to-date and was redundant with the ethtool output. Also, scales back the LAN MSIx usage to force queue/vector sharing and leave some vectors for Flow Director, VMDq, etc. when there are more cores than vectors available to the PF. Cleans up the error reporting for get_lump() resource tracking errors. Also adds a check for the debug module parameter earlier to be able to catch the early configuration phase admin queue messages. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Or Gerlitz says: ==================== Mellanox ethernet driver update Oct-30-2014 The 1st patch from Saeed fixes a bug in the last net-next batch where a VF could get access to set port configuration, the next patch from Amir fixes a race in the port VPI logic. Next are two performance patches from Ido. The patch to add checksum complete status on GRE and such packets was preceded with a patch that converted the driver to only use napi_gro_receive vs. the current code which goes through napi_gro_frags on it's usual track. Eric D. has some thoughts and suggestions on that change for which we want to take the time and consider, so for the time being dropped that patch and the ones that depend on it. Changes from V0: - have the caller to provide the __GFP_COLD hint to the service function - dropped the patch that changes the GRO logic and the subsequent dependent patches. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

When IP_ALIGN has a non zero value, hardware will write to a non aligned address. The only reader from this address is when copying the header from the first frag into the linear buffer (further access to the IP address will be from the linear buffer, in which the headers are aligned). Since the penalty of non align access by the hardware is greater than the software memcpy, changing the frag_align to always be 0. Signed-off-by:

net_rx_action() can mask irqs a single time to transfert sd->poll_list into a private list, for a very short duration. Then, napi_complete() can avoid masking irqs again, and net_rx_action() only needs to mask irq again in slow path. This patch removes 2 couples of irq mask/unmask per typical NAPI run, more if multiple napi were triggered. Note this also allows to give control back to caller (do_softirq()) more often, so that other softirq handlers can be called a bit earlier, or ksoftirqd can be wakeup earlier under pressure. This was developed while testing an alternative to RX interrupt mitigation to reduce latencies while keeping or improving GRO aggregation on fast NIC. Idea is to test napi->gro_list at the end of a napi->poll() and reschedule one NAPI poll, but after servicing a full round of softirqs (timers, TX, rcu, ...). This will be allowed only if softirq is currently serviced by idle task or ksoftirqd, and resched not needed. Signed-off-by:
