      can: mscan-mpc5xxx: fix return value check in mpc512x_can_get_clock() · f61bd058
      Wei Yongjun authored
      In case of error, the function clk_get() returns ERR_PTR()
      and never returns NULL pointer. The NULL test in the error
      handling should be replaced with IS_ERR().

      ipconfig: add nameserver IPs to kernel-parameter ip= · 5e953778
      Christoph Fritz authored
      On small systems (e.g. embedded ones) IP addresses are often configured
      by bootloaders and get assigned to kernel via parameter "ip=".  If set to
      "ip=dhcp", even nameserver entries from DHCP daemons are handled. These
      entries exported in /proc/net/pnp are commonly linked by /etc/resolv.conf.
      
      To configure nameservers for networks without DHCP, this patch adds option
      <dns0-ip> and <dns1-ip> to kernel-parameter 'ip='.

      net: qmi_wwan: adding Huawei E367, ZTE MF683 and Pantech P4200 · 42d94dcb
      Bjørn Mork authored
      One of the modes of Huawei E367 has this QMI/wwan interface:
      
       I:* If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=01 Prot=07 Driver=(none)
       E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  64 Ivl=2ms
       E:  Ad=84(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
       E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=4ms
      
      Huawei use subclass and protocol to identify vendor specific
      functions, so adding a new vendor rule for this combination.
      
      The Pantech devices UML290 (106c:3718) and P4200 (106c:3721) use
      the same subclass to identify the QMI/wwan function.  Replace the
      existing device specific UML290 entries with generic vendor matching,
      adding support for the Pantech P4200.
      
      The ZTE MF683 has 6 vendor specific interfaces, all using
      ff/ff/ff for cls/sub/prot.  Adding a match on interface #5 which
      is a QMI/wwan interface.

      USB: remove dbg() usage in USB networking drivers · 49ae25b0
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      The dbg() USB macro is so old, it predates me.  The USB networking drivers are
      the last hold-out using this macro, and we want to get rid of it, so replace
      the usage of it with the proper netdev_dbg() or dev_dbg() (depending on the
      context) calls.
      
      Some places we end up using a local variable for the debug call, so also
      convert the other existing dev_* calls to use it as well, to save tiny amounts
      of code space.

      IB/ipoib: Add rtnl_link_ops support · 9baa0b03
      Or Gerlitz authored
      Add rtnl_link_ops to IPoIB, with the first usage being child device
      create/delete through them. Childs devices are now either legacy ones,
      created/deleted through the ipoib sysfs entries, or RTNL ones.
      
      Adding support for RTNL childs involved refactoring of ipoib_vlan_add
      which is now used by both the sysfs and the link_ops code.
      
      Also, added ndo_uninit entry to support calling unregister_netdevice_queue
      from the rtnl dellink entry. This required removal of calls to
      ipoib_dev_cleanup from the driver in flows which use unregister_netdevice,
      since the networking core will invoke ipoib_uninit which does exactly that.

      ixgbevf: Add support for VF API negotiation · 31186785
      Alexander Duyck authored
      This change makes it so that the VF can support the PF/VF API negotiation
      protocol.  Specifically in this case we are adding support for API 1.0
      which will mean that the VF is capable of cleaning up buffers that span
      multiple descriptors without triggering an error.

      igb: Support to enable EEE on all eee_supported devices · e5461112
      Akeem G. Abodunrin authored
      Current implementation enables EEE on only i350 device. This patch enables
      EEE on all eee_supported devices. Also, configured LPI clock to keep
      running before EEE is enabled on i210 and i211 devices.

      igb: Remove artificial restriction on RQDPC stat reading · ae1c07a6
      Alexander Duyck authored
      For some reason the reading of the RQDPC register was being artificially
      limited to 4K.  Instead of limiting the value we should read the value and
      add the full amount.  Otherwise this can lead to a misleading number of
      dropped packets when the actual value is in fact much higher.

      r8169: use unlimited DMA burst for TX · aee77e4a
      Michal Schmidt authored
      The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have
      a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full
      potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited.
      
      The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl
      (XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled.
      
      I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput
      on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024,
      '7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results:
      http://michich.fedorapeople.org/r8169/r8169-effects-of-TX_DMA_BURST.png
      
      Interesting points:
       - With the current DMA burst limit (1024):
         - at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s.
         - when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with
           increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's
           a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically
           again with further MTU increases.
       - With a smaller DMA burst limit (512):
         - there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564.
       - With unlimited DMA burst:
         - at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s.
         - the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange
           peaks.
      
      Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst
      limit plus 52. Why 52? Because:
        20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52
      
      The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too,
      except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes.
      CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B",
      i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs
      the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements.
