Some multicast addresses are common to all macvlans, so if a multicast message has a hash value collision, we have to deliver a copy to all macvlans, adding significant latency and possible packet drops if netdev_max_backlog limit is hit. Having a per macvlan hash function permits to reduce the impact of hash collisions.

alloc failures already get standardized OOM messages and a dump_stack. For the affected mallocs around these OOM messages: Converted kmallocs with multiplies to kmalloc_array. Converted a kmalloc/memcpy to kmemdup. Removed now unused stack variables. Removed unnecessary parentheses. Neatened alignment.

In order to address the fact that some devices cannot support the full 32K frag size we need to have the value accessible somewhere so that we can use it to do comparisons against what the device can support.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please accept this pull request intended for the 3.9 stream! Included are a mac80211 pull, an iwlwifi pull (actually two -- one was a fast-forward), a wl12xx pull, and a couple of Bluetooth pulls. On mac80211, Johannes says: "I've included * AKM definitions from Bing, * mesh fixes from Thomas, including a fix from him for me breaking his patch while applying, * channel check fix from Simon, * an old patch from Yoni Divinsky who doesn't even work for TI any more, to configure the WEP TX key for ARP offload etc. * MAC ACL API from Vasanth * a fix for the infamous chanctx_conf warning from Arnd * from myself, a fix for my previous aggregation changes, some cleanup and some improvements and fixes for WoWLAN" On iwlwifi, Johannes says: "Two small changes for iwlwifi-next, one to update all our Copyright notices and one to provide the RX page order." And also: "So what I have here is some cleanups, preparations and the new MVM (multi-virtual MAC) driver itself and (this is new) some work on the transport API as well as a message flooding fix." On wl12xx, Luca says: "Lots of bugfixes and improvements in our TI wireless drivers, including support for multi-channel. Intended for 3.9." On Bluetooth, Gustavo says: "This is my first pull request to 3.9. The biggest changes here are from Johan Hedberg who made a lot of fixes in the Management interface. The issues arose due to a new test tool we wrote and the usage of the Management interface as default in BlueZ 5. The rest of the patches are more clean ups and small fixes." And also: "Here goes another batch intended for 3.9, the majority of the patch here are from Johan who is fixing many issues in the management interface that have appeared lately. The rest of the patches are just small improvements, fixes and clean ups." Along with those are the usual variety of updates/enhancements to the mwl8k, mwifiex, ath9k, rtlwifi, and rt2x00 drivers as well as a few updates for the ssb and bcma busses. I don't think there are any big headliners there. Please let me know if there are problems! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Attention linux-next maintainer, you will hit a merge conflict between this merge and the mips tree, the resolution is to preserve the removal of uses of nvram_geenv() and nvram_parse_macaddr() from the net-next side. Hauke Mehrtens says: ==================== These patches are adding support for the Ethernet core found in the BCM4705/BCM4785 SoC. This is based on current master of davem/net-next.git. v4: * move setting of DMA_RWCTRL_ONE_DMA v3: * combined first two patches into one patch v2: * use of struct sprom in ssb_gige_get_macaddr() instead of accessing the nvram directly * add return value to ssb_gige_get_macaddr() * try to read the mac address from ssb core before accessing the own registers. * fix two checkpatch warnings ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The BCM4785 or sometimes named BMC4705 is a Broadcom SoC which a Gigabit 5750 Ethernet core. The core is connected via PCI with the rest of the SoC, but it uses some extension. This core does not use a firmware or an eeprom. Some devices only have a switch which supports 100MBit/s, this currently does not work with this driver. This patch was original written by Michael Buesch <m@bues.ch> and is in OpenWrt for some years now. This was tested on a Linksys WRT610N V1 and older versions of this patch were tested by other people on different devices.

The mac address is already stored in the sprom structure by the platform code of the SoC this Ethernet core is found on, it just has to be fetched from this structure instead of accessing the nvram here. This patch also adds a return value to indicate if a mac address could be fetched from the sprom structure. When CONFIG_SSB_DRIVER_GIGE is not set the header file now also declares ssb_gige_get_macaddr().

Amir Vadai says: ==================== This series from Yan Burman adds support for unicast MAC address filtering and ndo FDB operations. It also includes some optimizations to loopback related decisions and checks in the TX/RX fast path and one cleanup, all in separate patches. Today, when adding macvlan devices, the NIC goes into promiscuous mode, since unicast MAC filtering is not supported. With these changes, macvlan devices can be added without the penalty of promiscuous mode. If for some reason adding a unicast address filter fails e.g as of missing space in the HW mac table, the device forces itself into promiscuous mode (and out of this forced state when enough space is available). Also, now it is possible to have bridge under multi-function configuration that include PF and VFs. In order to use bridge over PF/VFs, VM MAC fdb entries must be added e.g. using 'bridge fdb add' command. Changes from v1 - based on more comments from Eric Dumazet: * added failure handling when adding unicast address filter Changes from v0 - based on comments from Eric Dumazet: * Removed unneeded synchronize_rcu() * Use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() + kfree() ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Actual functions moved: mlx4_replace_mac mlx4_get_eth_qp mlx4_put_eth_qp To conduct this change, some functionality had to be exported from the core, the following functions were added: mlx4_get_base_qp __mlx4_replace_mac (low level function for CX1/A0 compatibility) Signed-off-by: Yan Burman <yanb@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, RX path code that does RX filtering is not optimized and does an expensive conversion. In order to use ether_addr_equal_64bits which is optimized for such cases, we need the MAC address kept by the device to be in the form of unsigned char array instead of u64. Store the MAC address as unsigned char array and convert to/from u64 out of the fast path when needed. Side effect of this is that we no longer need priv->mac, since it's the same as dev->dev_addr.

Currently there are relatively complex conditional checks in the fast path, for TX loopback enabling and resulting RX filter logic. Move elaborate if's out of data path, replace them with a single flag for each state and update that state from appropriate places. Also, in native (non SRIOV) mode and not in loopback or in selftest, there is no need to try and filter out packets that HW loopback-ed, as in native mode we do not loopback packets anymore.

skb_gso_segment() is almost always called in tx path, except for openvswitch. It calls this function when it receives the packet and tries to queue it to user-space. In this special case, the ->ip_summed check inside skb_gso_segment() is no longer true, as ->ip_summed value has different meanings on rx path. This patch adjusts skb_gso_segment() so that we can at least avoid such warnings on checksum. Cc: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Cc: David S.

Some modes don't require any special carrier handling so in these cases, the kernel can control the carrier as for any other interface. However, some other modes, e.g. lacp, requires more than just that, so userspace needs to control the carrier itself. The daemon today is ready to control it, but the kernel still can change it based on events. This fix so that either kernel or userspace is controlling the carrier.
