If trying to get receive flow hash indirection table by ethtool, it needs to call .get_rxnfc to get ring number first. So this patch implements the .get_rxnfc of ethtool. And the data type of rss_indir_table is u32, it has to be multiply by the width of data type when using memcpy.

When sending a pause frame out from GMACs, the packets' source MAC address does not match the GMACs' MAC address. It causes by the condition before the mac address setting routine for GMACs, the mac address cannot be set into loacal mac table for service ports. It obviously the condition needs to be deleted.

In chip V2, the default value of port id in tx BD is Zero. If it is not configurated to the other value, all management packets will be sent out from port0. So port_id in the tx BD needs to be updated when sending a management packet. In V2 chip, when sending mamagement packets, the driver should config the port id to BD descs.

By returning -ENOIOCTLCMD, sock_do_ioctl() falls back to calling dev_ioctl(), which provides support for NIC driver ioctls, which includes ethtool support. This is similar to the way ioctls are handled in udp.c or tcp.c. This removes the requirement that ethtool for example be tied to the support of a specific L3 protocol (ethtool uses an AF_INET socket today).

This reverts commit a59f8c5b. There are several bugs in this new code, for example: 1) Uses sleeping locks in get_stats64, which is not allowed, as the operation can be invoked in an atomic context. 2) Uses PM fields without CONFIG_PM or similar guards. 3) Does not synchronize HW stats when the device runtime suspends. Therefore this is being reverted until a correct version is implemented. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

'struct timeval' uses 32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038 and beyond. mISDN/clock.c needs to compute and store elapsed time in intervals of 125 microseconds. This patch replaces the usage of 'struct timeval' with 64-bit ktime_t which is y2038 safe. The patch also replaces do_gettimeofday() (wall-clock time) with ktime_get() (monotonic time) since we only care about elapsed time here.

Jesse Gross says: ==================== Tunneling fixes This series fixes a problem that was reported where encapsulated packets do not have their encapsulation offload markers stripped off when being decapsulated. This causes a significant performance drop if the packets are later retransmitted. Fixing this revealed two other bugs which are also addressed as prerequisites: * GRO can aggregate packets for multiple layers of encapsulation which the stack cannot properly handle. * IPIP packets which are combined by GRO are not marked properly with their GSO type. Note that this is based off the net-next tree as the current target for bug fixes. v2: No code changes, just additional information in commit messages and a new cover letter. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

If a packet is either locally encapsulated or processed through GRO it is marked with the offloads that it requires. However, when it is decapsulated these tunnel offload indications are not removed. This means that if we receive an encapsulated TCP packet, aggregate it with GRO, decapsulate, and retransmit the resulting frame on a NIC that does not support encapsulation, we won't be able to take advantage of hardware offloads even though it is just a simple TCP packet at this point. This fixes the problem by stripping off encapsulation offload indications when packets are decapsulated. The performance impacts of this bug are significant. In a test where a Geneve encapsulated TCP stream is sent to a hypervisor, GRO'ed, decapsulated, and bridged to a VM performance is improved by 60% (5Gbps->8Gbps) as a result of avoiding unnecessary segmentation at the VM tap interface.

When drivers express support for TSO of encapsulated packets, they only mean that they can do it for one layer of encapsulation. Supporting additional levels would mean updating, at a minimum, more IP length fields and they are unaware of this. No encapsulation device expresses support for handling offloaded encapsulated packets, so we won't generate these types of frames in the transmit path. However, GRO doesn't have a check for multiple levels of encapsulation and will attempt to build them. UDP tunnel GRO actually does prevent this situation but it only handles multiple UDP tunnels stacked on top of each other. This generalizes that solution to prevent any kind of tunnel stacking that would cause problems.

ipip encapsulated packets can be merged together by GRO but the result does not have the proper GSO type set or even marked as being encapsulated at all. Later retransmission of these packets will likely fail if the device does not support ipip offloads. This is similar to the issue resolved in IPv6 sit in feec0cb3 ("ipv6: gro: support sit protocol").

SCTP is a protocol that is aligned to a word (4 bytes). Thus using bare MTU can sometimes return values that are not aligned, like for loopback, which is 65536 but ipv4_mtu() limits that to 65535. This mis-alignment will cause the last non-aligned bytes to never be used and can cause issues with congestion control. So it's better to just consider a lower MTU and keep congestion control calcs saner as they are based on PMTU. Same applies to icmp frag needed messages, which is also fixed by this patch. One other effect of this is the inability to send MTU-sized packet without queueing or fragmentation and without hitting Nagle. As the check performed at sctp_packet_can_append_data(): if (chunk->skb->len + q->out_qlen >= transport->pathmtu - packet->overhead) /* Enough data queued to fill a packet */ return SCTP_XMIT_OK; with the above example of MTU, if there are no other messages queued, one cannot send a packet that just fits one packet (65532 bytes) and without causing DATA chunk fragmentation or a delay. v2: - Added WORD_TRUNC macro Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, if a chunk is scheduled to be sent through a transport that is currently unconfirmed, it will be leaked as it is dequeued from outq and is not re-queued nor freed. As I'm not aware of any situation that may lead to this situation, I'm fixing this by freeing the chunk and also logging a trace so that we can fix the other bug if it ever happens.
