Since v2.4 the capi driver used the following device nodes if "middleware" support was enabled: /dev/capi20 /dev/capi/0 /dev/capi/1 [...] /dev/capi20 is a character device node. /dev/capi/0 (and up) are tty device nodes (with a different major). This device node (naming) scheme is not documented anywhere, as far as I know. It was originally provided by the capifs pseudo filesystem (before udev became available). It is required for example by the pppd capiplugin. It was supported until a few years ago. But a number of developments broke it: - v2.6.6 (May 2004) renamed /dev/capi20 to /dev/capi and removed the "/" from the name of capi's tty driver. The explanation of the patch that did this included two examples of udev rules "to restore the old namespace"; - either udev 154 (May 2010) or udev 179 (January 2012) stopped allowing to rename device nodes, and thus the ability to have /dev/capi20 appear instead of /dev/capi and /dev/capi/0 (and up) instead of /dev/capi0 (and up); - v3.0 (July 2011) also removed capifs. That disabled another method to create the /dev/capi/0 (and up) device nodes. So now users need to manually tweak their setup (eg, create /dev/capi/ and fill that with symlinks) to get things working. This is all rather hacky and only discoverable by searching the web. Fix all this by renaming /dev/capi back to /dev/capi20, and by setting the name of the "capi_nc" tty driver to "capi!" so the tty device nodes appear as /dev/capi/0 (and up).

The Kconfig symbol ISDN_DRV_AVMB1_VERBOSE_REASON is only used for capi_info2str(). That function is only used in capidrv.c. So setting it without setting ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV is pointless. Make it depend on ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV, rename it to ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV_VERBOSE and put its entry after ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV's entry. Since this symbol seems to be primarily used for debugging, keep it off by default. By now the last users of capidrv hopefully know all they need to know about the reasons for disconnecting.

capi_info2str() is apparently meant to be of general utility. It is actually only used in capidrv.c. So move it from capiutil.c to capidrv.c and (obviously) stop exporting it.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== net: Support checksum in UDP This patch series adds support for using checksums in UDP tunnels. With this it is possible that two or more checksums may be set within the same packet and we would like to do that efficiently. This series also creates some new helper functions to be used by various tunnel protocol implementations. v2: Fixed indentation in tcp_v6_send_check arguments. v3: Move udp_set_csum and udp6_set_csum to be not inlined Also have this functions call with a nocheck boolean argument instead of passing a sock structure. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

-
Tom Herbert authored
When creating a GSO packet segment we may need to set more than one checksum in the packet (for instance a TCP checksum and UDP checksum for VXLAN encapsulation). To be efficient, we want to do checksum calculation for any part of the packet at most once. This patch adds csum_start offset to skb_gso_cb. This tracks the starting offset for skb->csum which is initially set in skb_segment. When a protocol needs to compute a transport checksum it calls gso_make_checksum which computes the checksum value from the start of transport header to csum_start and then adds in skb->csum to get the full checksum. skb->csum and csum_start are then updated to reflect the checksum of the resultant packet starting from the transport header. This patch also adds a flag to skbuff, encap_hdr_csum, which is set in *gso_segment fucntions to indicate that a tunnel protocol needs checksum calculation Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Vlad Yasevich says: ==================== Fix support for macvlan devices on top bonding Currently, macvlan devices do not work well over bond interfaces. Everything works well, untill a failover is triggered in the bond device and then macvlan becomes unreachble untill arp entries are flushed. This series adds needed functionality to handle correct notifications and update switches with mac addresses assigned to macvlans. The first patch simply addes IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to bonds since they already correctly manage the unicast filter list of the slaves, so we might as well prevent the bond from needlessly going into promiscuous mode. The second patch adds notifier handler to macvlan to trigger correct ARP notifications. The third patch adds handling for TLB and RLB modes that use special ETH_P_LOOPBACK type packets to teach switch about mac addresses. It also allow ARPs for the macvlan mac addresses to be handled by RLB mode. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Vlad Yasevich authored
To make TLB mode work, the patch allows learning packets to be sent using mac addresses assigned to macvlan devices, also taking into an account vlans that may be between the bond and macvlan device. To make RLB work, all we have to do is accept ARP packets for addresses added to the bond dev->uc list. Since RLB mode will take care to update the peers directly with correct mac addresses, learning packets for these addresses do not have be send to switch.

Bonding and team drivers generate specific events during failover that trigger switch updates. When a macvlan device is configured on top of bonding, we want switches to learn about the macvlan devices as well. This patch adds a handler to macvlan driver to propagate these events to all macvlan devices. We let the generic inetdev event handler do the work. This allows macvlan to operated correctly over active-backup mode bond. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Bonding devices manage the unicast filters of the underlying interfaces, but do not turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag. Thus anytime a unicast address is added to the bond, the bond is places in promiscuous mode. Turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT on the bond device so that the bond does not go into promiscuous mode needlesly. If an underlying device does not support unicast filtering, that device will automaticall enter promiscuous mode already. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This reverts commit 30f38d2f. fib_triestat is surrounded by a big lie: while it claims that it's a seq_file (fib_triestat_seq_open, fib_triestat_seq_show), it isn't: static const struct file_operations fib_triestat_fops = { .owner = THIS_MODULE, .open = fib_triestat_seq_open, .read = seq_read, .llseek = seq_lseek, .release = single_release_net, }; Yes, fib_triestat is just a regular file. A small detail (assuming CONFIG_NET_NS=y) is that while for seq_files you could do seq_file_net() to get the net ptr, doing so for a regular file would be wrong and would dereference an invalid pointer. The fib_triestat lie claimed a victim, and trying to show the file would be bad for the kernel. This patch just reverts the issue and fixes fib_triestat, which still needs a rewrite to either be a seq_file or stop claiming it is.

Wei Liu says: ==================== This is rebased version of Andrew's V8 patch series. The original cover letter: -------------------- xen-net{back, front}: Multiple transmit and receive queues This patch series implements multiple transmit and receive queues (i.e. multiple shared rings) for the xen virtual network interfaces. The series is split up as follows: - Patch 1 brings the 'grant_copy_op' array back into struct xenvif, in preparation for multi-queue support. See the patch itself for more details. - Patches 2 and 4 factor out the queue-specific data for netback and netfront respectively, and modify the rest of the code to use these as appropriate. - Patches 3 and 5 introduce new XenStore keys to negotiate and use multiple shared rings and event channels, and code to connect these as appropriate. - Patch 6 documents the XenStore keys required for the new feature in include/xen/interface/io/netif.h All other transmit and receive processing remains unchanged, i.e. there is a kthread per queue and a NAPI context per queue. The performance of these patches has been analysed in detail, with results available at: http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen-netback_and_xen-netfront_multi-queue_performance_testing To summarise: * Using multiple queues allows a VM to transmit at line rate on a 10 Gbit/s NIC, compared with a maximum aggregate throughput of 6 Gbit/s with a single queue. * For intra-host VM--VM traffic, eight queues provide 171% of the throughput of a single queue; almost 12 Gbit/s instead of 6 Gbit/s. * There is a corresponding increase in total CPU usage, i.e. this is a scaling out over available resources, not an efficiency improvement. * Results depend on the availability of sufficient CPUs, as well as the distribution of interrupts and the distribution of TCP streams across the queues. Queue selection is currently achieved via an L4 hash on the packet (i.e. TCP src/dst port, IP src/dst address) and is not negotiated between the frontend and backend, since only one option exists. Future patches to support other frontends (particularly Windows) will need to add some capability to negotiate not only the hash algorithm selection, but also allow the frontend to specify some parameters to this. Note that queue selection is a decision by the transmitting system about which queue to use for a particular packet. In general, the algorithm may differ between the frontend and the backend with no adverse effects. Queue-specific XenStore entries for ring references and event channels are stored hierarchically, i.e. under .../queue-N/... where N varies from 0 to one less than the requested number of queues (inclusive). If only one queue is requested, it falls back to the flat structure where the ring references and event channels are written at the same level as other vif information. V8: - Squash the queue error handling code into patch 3. - Update the documentation (patch 6) according to comments on the equivalent patch to Xen. V7: - Rebase on latest net-next, which includes the netback grant mapping patch series from Zoltan Kiss - Reduce QUEUE_NAME_SIZE by 1 to avoid double-counting the trailing '\0' - Simplify the queue hashing by using (hash % num_queues) instead of multiply & shift. - Add ratelimited warning for invalid queue selection. - Fix error handling to correctly tear down already setup queues. - Use dev->real_num_tx_queues instead of separately maintaining a count of the number of queues. V6: - Use 'max_queues' as the module param. name for both netback and netfront. V5: - Fix bug in xenvif_free() that could lead to an attempt to transmit an skb after the queue structures had been freed. - Improve the XenStore protocol documentation in netif.h. - Fix IRQ_NAME_SIZE double-accounting for null terminator. - Move rx_gso_checksum_fixup stat into struct xenvif_stats (per-queue). - Don't initialise a local variable that is set in both branches (xspath). V4: - Add MODULE_PARM_DESC() for the multi-queue parameters for netback and netfront modules. - Move del_timer_sync() in netfront to after unregister_netdev, which restores the order in which these functions were called before applying these patches. V3: - Further indentation and style fixups. V2: - Rebase onto net-next. - Change queue->number to queue->id. - Add atomic operations around the small number of stats variables that are not queue-specific or per-cpu. - Fixup formatting and style issues. - XenStore protocol changes documented in netif.h. - Default max. number of queues to num_online_cpus(). - Check requested number of queues does not exceed maximum. -------------------- I rebased this on top of net-next. No functional change is introduced. The patch that needed some extra care was "xen-netback: Factor queue-specific data into queue struct" because it clashed with a fix introduced in net. A simple test of creating guest, iperf, then shutting down guest worked as expected. The last patch fixes a minor problem that queue name is not initialised in xen-netfront, resulting in names like "-tx" "-rx" in /proc/interrupt. Changes since v9 (no functional change introduced): * include commit summary in the commit message of first patch * fold David Vrabel's Reviewed-by into last patch ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to e1000, igb and ixgbe. Emil provides his version 2 fix for the detection of SFP+ capable interfaces. In cases where the driver is loaded while there are no SFP+ modules in cage, the interface was not being detected as SFP capable. Resolve the issue by identifying interfaces with no PHY type set as SFP capable which allows the driver to detect the SFP module when the interface is brought up. In this version 2 of the patch, the 82599 specific check was removed since we only have 82598 devices that are SFP capable. Jacob removes the including of the export header in the ixgbe PTP core, since it is not needed. Renames igb_ptp_enable() to igb_ptp_feature_enable() to better reflect the actual functions purpose. Todd fixes the ethtool loopback test for i354 backplane devices since we do not know what PHY is to be used for the devices, use MAC loopback for ethtool tests. Todd also sets the packet buffer size register defaults for i210 devices. Yongjian Xu removes the check for skb->len being negative or zero since there is never a case where it would be zero or negative for e1000.

In cases where the driver is loaded while there are no SFP+ modules in the cage the interface was not being detected as SFP capable. To account for this the driver called identify_sfp in ixgbe_get_settings to make sure the data is correct. However when there is no SFP+ module in the cage the driver waits for the I2C reads to time out which can take more than a second and will cause issues with tools (like net-snmp) that may poll for that information. This patch resolves the issue by identifying interfaces with no PHY type set as SFP capable which allows the driver to detect the SFP module when the interface is brought up. As result of this we can also remove the identify_sfp call from ixgbe_get_settings. v2: remove the 82599 specific check since we have 82598 devices that are SFP capable.

The current behaviour of the sh_eth driver is not to use the RNC bit for the receive ring. This means that every packet recieved is not only generating an IRQ but it also stops the receive ring DMA as well until the driver re-enables it after unloading the packet. This means that a number of the following errors are generated due to the receive packet FIFO overflowing due to nowhere to put packets: net eth0: Receive FIFO Overflow Since feedback from Yoshihiro Shimoda shows that every supported LSI for this driver should have the bit enabled it seems the best way is to remove the RMCR default value from the per-system data and just write it when initialising the RMCR value. This is discussed in the message (http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg284912.html). I have tested the RMCR_RNC configuration with NFS root filesystem and the driver has not failed yet. There are further test reports from Sergei Shtylov and others for both the R8A7790 and R8A7791. There is also feedback fron Cao Minh Hiep[1] which reports the same issue in (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/316285) showing this fixes issues with losing UDP datagrams under iperf.
