bcfcc45 Ben Hutchings 02 July 2010, 07:08:44 UTC net: Fix definition of netif_vdbg() when VERBOSE_DEBUG is defined netif_vdbg() was originally defined as entirely equivalent to netdev_vdbg(), but I assume that it was intended to take the same parameters as netif_dbg() etc. (Currently it is only used by the sfc driver, in which I worked on that assumption.) In commit a4ed89c I changed the definition used when VERBOSE_DEBUG is not defined, but I failed to notice that the definition used when VERBOSE_DEBUG is defined was also not as I expected. Change that to match netif_dbg() as well. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 06 July 2010, 03:08:05 UTC

4a49043 Jon Mason 02 July 2010, 09:13:49 UTC s2io: resolve statistics issues This patch resolves a number of issues in the statistics gathering of the s2io driver. On Xframe adapters, the received multicast statistics counter includes pause frames which are not indicated to the driver. This can cause issues where the multicast packet count is higher than what has actually been received, possibly higher than the number of packets received. The driver software counters are replaced with the adapter hardware statistics for rx_packets, rx_bytes, and tx_bytes. It also uses the overflow registers to determine if the statistics wrapped the 32bit register (removing the window of having a statistic value less than the previous call). rx_length_errors statistic now includes undersized packets in addition to oversized packets in its counting. Finally, rx_crc_errors are now being counted. Signed-off-by: Jon Mason <jon.mason@exar.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 03 July 2010, 05:27:25 UTC

f0796d5 John Fastabend 01 July 2010, 13:21:57 UTC net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdisc Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can be sent to the underlying driver. The flow for this is, dev_queue_xmit() dev_pick_tx() skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues skb_set_queue_mapping() ... qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash ... dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n ... sch_direct_xmit() dev_hard_start_xmit() ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set 0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues. This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to rings that no longer exist.

42d782a Flavio Leitner 29 June 2010, 08:24:39 UTC bonding: check if clients MAC addr has changed When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems. What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies updating this specific client. The same process happens on the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp replies. See more information including the relevant functions below: System 1 System 2 bond0 bond0 ping <system2> ARP request ---------> <--------- ARP reply +->rlb_arp_recv <---------------------+ <--- loop begins | rlb_update_entry_from_arp | | client_info->ntt = 1; | | bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; | | | | <communication succeed> | | | | bond_alb_monitor | | rlb_update_rx_clients | | rlb_update_client | | arp_create(ARPOP_REPLY) | | send ARP reply --------------> V | send ARP reply --------------> | rlb_arp_recv | rlb_update_entry_from_arp | client_info->ntt = 1; | bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; | < snipped, same as in system 1> +------- <-------------- send ARP reply <-------------- send ARP reply Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply poisoning the network. This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later.

It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional commands. These commands should have been defined to use a new structure, but it is too late to change that now. Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and from user-space.

Simple actions like changing the active slave in active-backup mode will hang the box if a high enough printk debugging level is enabled.

Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting, connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that initially attempted to address this: commit 1152dcc28c66a74b5b3f1a3ede0aa6729bfd48e4 Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Date: Fri Jan 15 13:42:58 2010 -0800 iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000 Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design. Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues. For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self protection.

d1e89f3 Johannes Berg 18 June 2010, 10:41:25 UTC iwlwifi: fix multicast commit 3474ad635db371b0d8d0ee40086f15d223d5b6a4 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Thu Apr 29 04:43:05 2010 -0700 iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_, which the new code no longer did, and normally it _never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually, the code prior to my patch there would have been broken already. The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending on the default filter in the device, which isn't necessarily what we want (since we don't program it right now). Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

6c3118e Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan 23 June 2010, 13:49:21 UTC ath9k: Fix bug in starting ani There are few places where ANI is started without checking if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic. This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset(). This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen with ar9003 + paprd.

But dma_get_ops() isn't available on all the architectures (only the architectures that uses dma_map_ops struct have it). Using dma_get_ops() in drivers leads to compilation breakage on many architectures. This patch removes dma_get_ops() and changes bnx2 to do prefetch on all the architectures.

This situation confuses the driver, and so the skb_put() sanity check fails. This patch fixes the issue by adding an appropriate check, i.e. the driver should not try to process frames with buffer descriptor's length over rx_buffer_size (i.e. maxfrm and mrblr). Note that sometimes eTSEC works correctly, i.e. in the second (last) buffer descriptor bits 'truncated' and 'crcerr' are set, and so there's no oops.

fa68a78 Tom Hughes 15 June 2010, 22:24:28 UTC Clear IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE for teql interfaces https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16183 The sch_teql module, which can be used to load balance over a set of underlying interfaces, stopped working after 2.6.30 and has been broken in all kernels since then for any underlying interface which requires the addition of link level headers. The problem is that the transmit routine relies on being able to access the destination address in the skb in order to do address resolution once it has decided which underlying interface it is going to transmit through. In 2.6.31 the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag was introduced, and set by default for all interfaces, which causes the destination address to be released before the transmit routine for the interface is called. The solution is to clear that flag for teql interfaces. Signed-off-by: Tom Hughes <tom@compton.nu> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

97553f7 Manfred Rudigier 11 June 2010, 01:49:05 UTC gianfar: Fix setup of RX time stamping Previously the RCTRL_TS_ENABLE bit was set unconditionally. However, if the RCTRL_TS_ENABLE is set without TMR_CTRL[TE], the driver does not work properly on some boards (Anton had problems with the MPC8313ERDB and MPC8568EMDS). With this patch the bit will only be set if requested from user space with the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl command, meaning that time stamping is disabled during normal operation. Users who are not interested in time stamps will not experience problems with buggy CPU revisions or performance drops any more. The setting of TMR_CTRL[TE] is still up to the user. This is considered safe because users wanting HW timestamps must initialize the eTSEC clock first anyway, e.g. with the recently submitted PTP clock driver.

28c8e47 Andy Gospodarek 11 June 2010, 12:47:03 UTC ixgbe: fix automatic LRO/RSC settings for low latency This patch added to 2.6.34: commit f8d1dcaf88bddc7f282722ec1fdddbcb06a72f18 Author: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Date: Tue Apr 27 01:37:20 2010 +0000 ixgbe: enable extremely low latency introduced a feature where LRO (called RSC on the hardware) was disabled automatically when setting rx-usecs to 0 via ethtool. Some might not like the fact that LRO was disabled automatically, but I'm fine with that. What I don't like is that LRO/RSC is automatically enabled when rx-usecs is set >0 via ethtool. This would certainly be a problem if the device was used for forwarding and it was determined that the low latency wasn't needed after the device was already forwarding. I played around with saving the state of LRO in the driver, but it just didn't seem worthwhile and would require a small change to dev_disable_lro() that I did not like. This patch simply leaves LRO disabled when setting rx-usecs >0 and requires that the user enable it again. An extra informational message will also now appear in the log so users can understand why LRO isn't being enabled as they expect. Inconsistency of LRO setting first noticed by Stanislaw Gruszka.

597a264 John Fastabend 03 June 2010, 09:30:11 UTC net: deliver skbs on inactive slaves to exact matches Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and is not one of the special pkts tested for in skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan. For example, vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any packet handlers at all. However, bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx and bond0 -> ethx will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev, because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only delivers them to exact matches. This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves. Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others be dropped out right in the vlan path. I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes and load balancing modes. # bond0 -> ethx # vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx # bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx # bond0 -> ethx | vlanx -> -- Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

619baba Anton Vorontsov 09 June 2010, 23:27:08 UTC gianfar: Revive the driver for eTSEC devices (disable timestamping) Since commit cc772ab7cdcaa24d1fae332d92a1602788644f7a ("gianfar: Add hardware RX timestamping support"), the driver no longer works on at least MPC8313ERDB and MPC8568EMDS boards (and possibly much more boards as well). That's how MPC8313 Reference Manual describes RCTRL_TS_ENABLE bit: Timestamp incoming packets as padding bytes. PAL field is set to 8 if the PAL field is programmed to less than 8. Must be set to zero if TMR_CTRL[TE]=0. I see that the commit above sets this bit, but it doesn't handle TMR_CTRL. Manfred probably had this bit set by the firmware for his boards. But obviously this isn't true for all boards in the wild. Also, I recall that Freescale BSPs were explicitly disabling the timestamping because of a performance drop. For now, the best way to deal with this is just disable the timestamping, and later we can discuss proper device tree bindings and implement enabling this feature via some property.
