Enabling VLAN filters (VFE) when the primary interface is brought up (per commit 78ed11a5) has caused problems for some users who manage their systems using IPMI over a VLAN. This is because when the driver enables the VLAN filter, this same filter table is enabled for the management channel, and the table is initially empty, which means that the IPMI/VLAN packets are filtered out and not received by the BMC. This is a problem only on e1000 class adapters, as it is only on e1000 that the filter table is common to the management and host streams. With this change, filtering is only enabled when one or more host VLANs exist, and is disabled when the last host VLAN is removed. VLAN filtering is always disabled when the primary interface is in promiscuous mode, and will be (re)enabled if VLANs exist when the interface exits promiscuous mode. Note that this does not completely resolve the issue for those using VLAN management, because if the host adds a VLAN, then the above problem occurs when that VLAN is enabled. However, it does mean the there is no problem for configurations where management is on a VLAN and the host is not. A complete solution to this issue would require further driver changes. The driver would need to discover if (and which) management VLANs are active before enabling VLAN filtering, so that it could ensure that the managed VLANs are included in the VLAN filter table. This discovery requires that the BMC identifies its VLAN in registers accessible to the driver, and at least on Dell PE2850 systems the BMC does not identify its VLAN to allow such discovery. Intel is pursuing this issue with the BMC vendor. Signed-off-by:

RFC 1122 specifies two threshold values R1 and R2 for connection timeouts, which may represent a number of allowed retransmissions or a timeout value. Currently linux uses sysctl_tcp_retries{1,2} to specify the thresholds in number of allowed retransmissions. For any desired threshold R2 (by means of time) one can specify tcp_retries2 (by means of number of retransmissions) such that TCP will not time out earlier than R2. This is the case, because the RTO schedule follows a fixed pattern, namely exponential backoff. However, the RTO behaviour is not predictable any more if RTO backoffs can be reverted, as it is the case in the draft "Make TCP more Robust to Long Connectivity Disruptions" (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zimmermann-tcp-lcd). In the worst case TCP would time out a connection after 3.2 seconds, if the initial RTO equaled MIN_RTO and each backoff has been reverted. This patch introduces a function retransmits_timed_out(N), which calculates the timeout of a TCP connection, assuming an initial RTO of MIN_RTO and N unsuccessful, exponentially backed-off retransmissions. Whenever timeout decisions are made by comparing the retransmission counter to some value N, this function can be used, instead. The meaning of tcp_retries2 will be changed, as many more RTO retransmissions can occur than the value indicates. However, it yields a timeout which is similar to the one of an unpatched, exponentially backing off TCP in the same scenario. As no application could rely on an RTO greater than MIN_RTO, there should be no risk of a regression. Signed-off-by:Damian Lukowski <damian@tvk.rwth-aachen.de> Acked-by:

Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure somewhere along the path. With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the patched TCP will operate as standard TCP. This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives. Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission is sent out immediately. Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already. Changes from v2: 1) Renaming of skb in tcp_v4_err() moved to another patch. 2) Reintroduced tcp_bound_rto() and __tcp_set_rto(). 3) Fixed code comments. Signed-off-by:

Adds support of dcbnl setapp/getapp to dcbnl_rtnl_ops in netdev to allow LLDs to implement their corresponding dcbnl setapp/getapp ops to support the IEEE 802.1Q DCBX setapp/getapp commands. Signed-off-by:

Yi Zou authored
This patch adds dcbnl command definitions to support setapp/getapp functionality from the IEEE 802.1Qaz Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange protocol (DCBX) specification. Section 3.3 defines the application protocol and its 802.1p user priority in DCBX, which is implemented here as a pair of setapp/getapp commands in the kernel dcbnl for setting and retrieving the user priority for an given application protocol. The protocol is identified by the combination of an id and an idtype. Currently, when idtype is 0, the corresponding id gives the ether type of this protocol, e.g., for FCoE, it will be 0x8906; when idtype is 1, then the corresponding id gives the TCP or UDP port number. For more information regarding DCBX spec., please refer to the following: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2008/ az-wadekar-dcbx-capability-exchange-discovery-protocol-1108-v1.01.pdf Signed-off-by:

This adds support to the net_device_ops.ndo_fcoe_enable/disable for 82599. This consequently allows us to dynamically turn FCoE offload feature on or off upon incoming calls to ndo_fcoe_enable/disable. When this happens, FCoE offload features are enabled/disabled accordingly, and this is regardless of whether DCB being turned on or not. Signed-off-by:

This adds implementation of the net_devices_ops.ndo_fcoe_enable/_disable to the VLAN driver. It checks if the real_dev has support for ndo_fcoe_enable/ ndo_fcoe_disable and if so, passes on to call the associated real_dev. Signed-off-by:

Add ndo_fcoe_enable/_disable to net_device_ops so the corresponding HW can initialize itself for FCoE traffic or clean up after FCoE traffic is done. This is expected to be called by the kernel FCoE stack upon receiving a request for creating an FCoE instance on the corresponding netdev interface. When implemented by the actual HW, the HW driver check the op code to perform corresponding initialization or clean up for FCoE. The initialization normally includes allocating extra queues for FCoE, setting corresponding HW registers for FCoE, indicating FCoE offload features via netdev, etc. The clean-up would include releasing the resources allocated for FCoE.

Single line log messages should be emitted by a single call where possible. Converted multiple calls to DBG_PRINT to single call form. Removed "s2io:" preface from DBG_PRINTs. The DBG_PRINT macro now emits a log level and is surrounded by a do {...} while (0) All s2io log output is now prefaced with KBUILD_MODNAME ": " via pr_fmt. The DBG_PRINT macro should probably be converted to use the dev_<level> form eventually. Signed-off-by:Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Acked-by:
