This patch fixes a bug introduced in bbd9f9ee which could prevent some wakeups from working correctly if multiple wol options were selected. This helper function calculates a 16-bit crc and shifts it into either the high or low 16 bits of a u32 so the caller can or it directly into place. The function previously had a u16 return type so would always have returned zero when filter was odd.

These macros, while reducing the amount of code, hide flow control and make the code more confusing to follow and review. This patch expands them. It should have no functional effect on the driver.

If usbnet_suspend returns an error we don't want to call usbnet_resume to clean up, but instead just return the error. If usbnet_suspend *does* succeed, and we have a problem further on, the desired behaviour is still to call usbnet_resume to clean up before returning.

This patch removes an unused parameter (src_net) from rtnl_create_link() method and from the method single invocation, in veth. This parameter was used in the past when calling ops->get_tx_queues(src_net, tb) in rtnl_create_link(). The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods, get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any parameter. This was done in commit d40156aa by Jiri Pirko ("rtnl: allow to specify different num for rx and tx queue count"). Signed-off-by: Rami Rosen <ramirose@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This improves bitops usages in several points: - Convert u64 to a proper bitmap declaration. This enables to remove superfluous typecasting from 'u64' to 'unsigned long *'. - Convert superfluous atomic bitops to non atomic bitops. The bitmap is allocated on the stack and it is not accessed by any other threads, so using atomic bitops is not necessary. - Use find_next_zero_bit and find_next_zero_bit instead of calling test_bit() for each bit.

This bug is observed on running FCoE over a VLAN device associated w/ a real device that has IFF_UNICAST_FLT set since FCoE would add unicast address such as FLOGI MAC to the VLAN interface that FCoE is on. Since currently, VLAN device is not inheriting the IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag from the parent real device even though the real device is capable of doing unicast filtering. This forces the VLAN device and its real device go to promiscuous mode unnecessarily even the added address is actually being added to the available unicast filter table in real device.

Bonding in balance-alb mode records information from ARP packets passing through the bond in a hash table (rx_hashtbl). At certain situations (e.g. link change of a slave), rlb_update_rx_clients() will send out ARP packets to update ARP caches of other hosts on the network to achieve RX load balancing. The problem is that once an IP address is recorded in the hash table, it stays there indefinitely. If this IP address is migrated to a different host in the network, bonding still sends out ARP packets that poison other systems' ARP caches with invalid information. This patch solves this by looking at all incoming ARP packets, and checking if the source IP address is one of the source addresses stored in the rx_hashtbl. If it is, but the MAC addresses differ, the corresponding hash table entries are removed. Thus, when an IP address is migrated, the first ARP broadcast by its new owner will purge the offending entries of rx_hashtbl. The hash table is hashed by ip_dst. To be able to do the above check efficiently (not walking the whole hash table), we need a reverse mapping (by ip_src). I added three new members in struct rlb_client_info: rx_hashtbl[x].src_first will point to the start of a list of entries for which hash(ip_src) == x. The list is linked with src_next and src_prev. When an incoming ARP packet arrives at rlb_arp_recv() rlb_purge_src_ip() can quickly walk only the entries on the corresponding lists, i.e. the entries that are likely to contain the offending IP address. To avoid confusion, I renamed these existing fields of struct rlb_client_info: next -> used_next prev -> used_prev rx_hashtbl_head -> rx_hashtbl_used_head (The current linked list is _not_ a list of hash table entries with colliding ip_dst. It's a list of entries that are being used; its purpose is to avoid walking the whole hash table when looking for used entries.)

Do not modify or load balance ARP packets passing through balance-alb mode (wherein the ARP did not originate locally, and arrived via a bridge). Modifying pass-through ARP replies causes an incorrect MAC address to be placed into the ARP packet, rendering peers unable to communicate with the actual destination from which the ARP reply originated. Load balancing pass-through ARP requests causes an entry to be created for the peer in the rlb table, and bond_alb_monitor will occasionally issue ARP updates to all peers in the table instrucing them as to which MAC address they should communicate with; this occurs when some event sets rx_ntt. In the bridged case, however, the MAC address used for the update would be the MAC of the slave, not the actual source MAC of the originating destination. This would render peers unable to communicate with the destinations beyond the bridge.

Conflicts: net/ipv6/exthdrs_core.c Jesse Gross says: ==================== This series of improvements for 3.8/net-next contains four components: * Support for modifying IPv6 headers * Support for matching and setting skb->mark for better integration with things like iptables * Ability to recognize the EtherType for RARP packets * Two small performance enhancements The movement of ipv6_find_hdr() into exthdrs_core.c causes two small merge conflicts. I left it as is but can do the merge if you want. The conflicts are: * ipv6_find_hdr() and ipv6_find_tlv() were both moved to the bottom of exthdrs_core.c. Both should stay. * A new use of ipv6_find_hdr() was added to net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c after this patch. The IPVS user has two instances of the old constant name IP6T_FH_F_FRAG which has been renamed to IP6_FH_F_FRAG. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

John W. Linville says: ==================== This pull request is intended for the 3.8 stream. It is a bit large -- I guess Thanksgiving got me off track! At least the code got to spend some time in linux-next... :-) This includes the usual batch of pulls for Bluetooth, NFC, and mac80211 as well as iwlwifi. Also here is an ath6kl pull, and a new driver in the rtlwifi family. The brcmfmac, brcmsmac, ath9k, and mwl8k get their usual levels of attention, and a handful of other updates tag along as well. For more detail on the pulls, please see below... On Bluetooth, Gustavo says: "Another set of patches for integration in wireless-next. There are two big set of changes in it: Andrei Emeltchenko and Mat Martineau added more patches towards a full Bluetooth High Speed support and Johan Hedberg improve the single mode support for Bluetooth dongles. Apart from that we have small fixes and improvements." ...and: "A few patches to 3.8. The majority of the work here is from Andrei on the High Speed support. Other than that Johan added support for setting LE advertising data. The rest are fixes and clean ups and small improvements like support for a new broadcom hardware." On mac80211, Johannes says: "This is for mac80211, for -next (3.8). Plenty of changes, as you can see below. Some fixes for previous changes like the export.h include, the beacon listener fix from Ben Greear, etc. Overall, no exciting new features, though hwsim does gain channel context support for people to try it out and look at." ...and...: "This one contains the mac80211-next material. Apart from a few small new features and cleanups I have two fixes for the channel context code. The RX_END timestamp support will probably be reworked again as Simon Barber noted the calculations weren't really valid, but the discussions there are still going on and it's better than what we had before." ...and: "Please pull (see below) to get the following changes: * a fix & a debug aid in IBSS from Antonio, * mesh cleanups from Marco, * a few bugfixes for some of my previous patches from Arend and myself, * and the big initial VHT support patchset" And on iwlwifi, Johannes says: "In addition to the previous four patches that I'm not resending, we have a number of cleanups, message reduction, firmware error handling improvements (yes yes... we need to fix them instead) and various other small things all over." ...and: "In his quest to try to understand the current iwlwifi problems (like stuck queues etc.) Emmanuel has first cleaned up the PCIe code, I'm including his changes in this pull request. Other than that I only have a small cleanup from Sachin Kamat to remove a duplicate include and a bugfix to turn off MFP if software crypto is enabled, but this isn't really interesting as MFP isn't supported right now anyway." On NFC, Samuel says: "With this one we have: - A few HCI improvements in preparation for an upcoming HCI chipset support. - A pn544 code cleanup after the old driver was removed. - An LLCP improvement for notifying user space when one peer stops ACKing I frames." On ath6kl, Kalle says: "Major changes this time are firmware recover support to gracefully handle if firmware crashes, support for changing regulatory domain and support for new ar6004 hardware revision 1.4. Otherwise there are just smaller fixes or cleanups from different people." Thats about it... :-) Please let me know if there are problems! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, each time a device is detached from an OVS datapath we call synchronize RCU before freeing associated data structures. However, if a bridge is deleted (which detaches all ports) when many devices are connected then there can be a long delay. This switches to use call_rcu() to group the cost together.

This patch reports the change made by Stephen Hemminger in ipip and gre[6] in commit eccc1bb8 (tunnel: drop packet if ECN present with not-ECT). Goal is to handle RFC6040, Section 4.2: Default Tunnel Egress Behaviour. o If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT, the decapsulator MUST NOT propagate any other ECN codepoint onwards. This is because the inner Not-ECT marking is set by transports that rely on dropped packets as an indication of congestion and would not understand or respond to any other ECN codepoint [RFC4774]. Specifically: * If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT and the outer ECN field is CE, the decapsulator MUST drop the packet. * If the inner ECN field is Not-ECT and the outer ECN field is Not-ECT, ECT(0), or ECT(1), the decapsulator MUST forward the outgoing packet with the ECN field cleared to Not-ECT. The patch takes benefits from common function added in net/inet_ecn.h. Like it was done for Xin4 tunnels, it adds logging to allow detecting broken systems that set ECN bits incorrectly when tunneling (or an intermediate router might be changing the header). Errors are also tracked via rx_frame_error. CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

On BE2 chip, an interrupt may be raised even when EQ is in un-armed state. As a result be_intx()::events_get() and be_poll:events_get() can race and notify an EQ wrongly. Fix this by counting events only in be_poll(). Commit 0b545a62 fixes the same issue in the MSI-x path. But, on Lancer, INTx can be de-asserted only by notifying num evts. This is not an issue as the above BE2 behavior doesn't exist/has never been seen on Lancer. Signed-off-by: Sathya Perla <sathya.perla@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
