      net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem · 44b82883
      Eric Dumazet authored
      commit 57dbb2d8 (sched: add head drop fifo queue)
      introduced pfifo_head_drop, and broke the invariant that
      sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are COUNTER (increasing
      counters only)
      
      This can break estimators because est_timer() handles unsigned deltas
      only. A decreasing counter can then give a huge unsigned delta.
      
      My mid term suggestion would be to change things so that
      sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are incremented in dequeue()
      only, not at enqueue() time. We also could add drop_bytes/drop_packets
      and provide estimations of drop rates.
      
      It would be more sensible anyway for very low speeds, and big bursts.
      Right now, if we drop packets, they still are accounted in byte/packets
      abolute counters and rate estimators.
      
      Before this mid term change, this patch makes pfifo_head_drop behavior
      similar to other qdiscs in case of drops :
      Dont decrement sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets

      Yes, why not, I am only wondering why loopback / dummy (and others ?)
      only set NETIF_F_TSO :)
      
      Since I want to play with ECN, I might also add NETIF_F_TSO_ECN ;)
      
      For other flags, I really doubt it can matter on ifb ?
      
      [PATCH v3 net-next-2.6] ifb: add performance flags
      
      IFB can use the full set of features flags (NETIF_F_SG |
      NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA) to
      avoid unnecessary split of some packets (GRO for example)
      
      Changli suggested to also set vlan_features, NETIF_F_TSO6,
      NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.
      
      Jarek suggested to add NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX as well.

      bridge: stp: ensure mac header is set · e6f26129
      Florian Westphal authored
      commit bf9ae538
      (llc: use dev_hard_header) removed the
      skb_reset_mac_header call from llc_mac_hdr_init.
      
      This seems fine itself, but br_send_bpdu() invokes ebtables LOCAL_OUT.
      
      We oops in ebt_basic_match() because it assumes eth_hdr(skb) returns
      a meaningful result.

      netdev: Update status of 8390 based drivers in MAINTAINERS · 0cf445ce
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      With the original 8 bit ISA ne1000 card being over 20 years old, it
      only makes sense to consider ne.c and all the other toplevel 8390
      based driver files as legacy for obsolete hardware.  The most
      recent thing made in large quantities that was 8390 based were
      those crazy PCI ne2k clones - and even they are now 10+ years old.
      
      Also remove myself as maintainer, since the only changes to these
      drivers going forward will be the generic API type changes that
      touch all drivers.

      net/Space: delete orphaned externs from deleted drivers · f08c3117
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      The drivers associated with the prototypes in this commit have
      been deleted some time ago, but the externs escaped detection.
      Using a simple "git grep" shows that these references are
      historical artefacts, only mentioned by the deleted lines.

      atl1: fix oops when changing tx/rx ring params · 2f32c867
      J. K. Cliburn authored
      Commit 3f5a2a71 zeroes out the statistics
      message block (SMB) and coalescing message block (CMB) when adapter ring
      resources are freed.  This is desirable behavior, but, as a side effect,
      the commit leads to an oops when atl1_set_ringparam() attempts to alter
      the number of rx or tx elements in the ring buffer (by using ethtool
      -G, for example).  We don't want SMB or CMB to change during this
      operation.
      
      Modify atl1_set_ringparam() to preserve SMB and CMB when changing ring
      parameters.
