bnx2x_src_init_t2() is used only when BCM_CNIC is defined. So, to avoid a compilation warning, we won't define it unless BCM_CNIC is defined.

Make the LSO code work on BE platforms: parsing_data field of a parsing BD (PBD) for 57712 was improperly composed which made FW read wrong values for TCP header's length and offset and, as a result, the corresponding PCI device was performing bad DMA reads triggering EEH.

__load_pointer() checks data we fetch from skb is included in head portion, but assumes we fetch one byte, instead of up to four. This wont crash because we have extra bytes (struct skb_shared_info) after head, but this can read uninitialized bytes. Fix this using size of the data (1, 2, 4 bytes) in the test.

The current jhash.h implements the lookup2() hash function by Bob Jenkins. However, lookup2() is outdated as Bob wrote a new hash function called lookup3(). The patch replaces the lookup2() implementation of the 'jhash*' functions with that of lookup3(). You can read a longer comparison of the two and other hash functions at http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html.

Followup of commit b178bb3d (net: reorder struct sock fields) Optimize INET input path a bit further, by : 1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock. This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and 64 bytes cache line size). 2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk (same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node) This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont increase size of inet and timewait socks. inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields. Before patch : offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274 After patch : offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0 offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4 compute_score() (udp or tcp) now use a single cache line per ignored item, instead of two.

Use helper functions to hide all direct accesses, especially writes, to dst_entry metrics values. This will allow us to: 1) More easily change how the metrics are stored. 2) Implement COW for metrics. In particular this will help us put metrics into the inetpeer cache if that is what we end up doing. We can make the _metrics member a pointer instead of an array, initially have it point at the read-only metrics in the FIB, and then on the first set grab an inetpeer entry and point the _metrics member there.

x25 does not decrement the network device reference counts on module unload. Thus unregistering any pre-existing interface after unloading the x25 module hangs and results in unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 1 This patch decrements the reference counts of all interfaces in x25_link_free, the way it is already done in x25_link_device_down for NETDEV_DOWN events.

This patch adds VLAN hardware support for Rhine chips. The driver uses up to 3 additional bytes of buffer space when extracting 802.1Q headers; PKT_BUF_SZ should still be sufficient. The initial code was provided by David Lv. I reworked it to use standard kernel facilities. Coding style clean up mostly follows via-velocity. Adapted to new interface for VLAN acceleration (per request of Jesse Gross).

While doing this analysis, I found a refcount bug in llc, I'll send a patch for net-2.6 Meanwhile, here is the patch for net-next-2.6 Your patch then can be applied after mine. Thanks [PATCH] net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and arp_ioctl() dev_getbyhwaddr() was called under RTNL. Rename it to dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu() and change all its caller to now use RCU locking instead of RTNL. Change arp_ioctl() to use RCU instead of RTNL locking.

Note: this patch should be sent to stable teams (2.6.34 and up) [PATCH net-2.6] llc: fix a device refcount imbalance commit abf9d537 (llc: add support for SO_BINDTODEVICE) added one refcount imbalance in llc_ui_bind(), because dev_getbyhwaddr() doesnt take a reference on device, while dev_get_by_index() does. Fix this using RCU locking. And since an RCU conversion will be done for 2.6.38 for dev_getbyhwaddr(), put the rcu_read_lock/unlock exactly at their final place.

If we break the loop when there are still skbs in tq and no skb in rq, the skbs will be left in txq until new skbs are enqueued into rq. In rare cases, no new skb is queued, then these skbs will stay in rq forever. After this patch, if tq isn't empty when we break the loop, we goto resched directly.

This patch adds support for serial/USB-serial CAN adapters implementing the LAWICEL ASCII protocol for CAN frame transport over serial lines. The driver implements the SLCAN line discipline and is heavily based on the slip.c driver. Therefore the code style remains similar to slip.c to be able to apply changes of the SLIP driver to the SLCAN driver easily. For more details see the slcan Kconfig entry.
