I noticed that one of the post-2.6.36 patches broke runtime PM of the r8169 on my MSI Wind test machine in such a way that the link was not brought up after reconnecting the network cable. In the process of debugging the issue I realized that we only should invoke the runtime PM functions in rtl8169_check_link_status() when link change is reported and if we do so, the problem goes away. Moreover, this allows rtl8169_runtime_idle() to be simplified quite a bit. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Acked-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

There is definitly a problem, that some option cards send up broken IP pakets leading to corrupted IP packets. These corruptions aren't detected, because the driver claims that the packets are already checksummed. This change removes the CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY option and let IP detect broken data.

A while back I made some changes to enable netpoll in the bonding driver. Among them was a per-cpu flag that indicated we were in a path that held locks which could cause the netpoll path to block in during tx, and as such the tx path should queue the frame for later use. This appears to have given rise to a regression. If one of those paths on which we hold the per-cpu flag yields the cpu, its possible for us to come back on a different cpu, leading to us clearing a different flag than we set. This results in odd netpoll drops, and BUG backtraces appearing in the log, as we check to make sure that we only clear set bits, and only set clear bits. I had though briefly about changing the offending paths so that they wouldn't sleep, but looking at my origional work more closely, it doesn't appear that a per-cpu flag is warranted. We alrady gate the checking of this flag on IFF_IN_NETPOLL, so we don't hit this in the normal tx case anyway. And practically speaking, the normal use case for netpoll is to only have one client anyway, so we're not going to erroneously queue netpoll frames when its actually safe to do so. As such, lets just convert that per-cpu flag to an atomic counter. It fixes the rescheduling bugs, is equivalent from a performance perspective and actually eliminates some code in the process.

x25 does not decrement the network device reference counts on module unload. Thus unregistering any pre-existing interface after unloading the x25 module hangs and results in unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 1 This patch decrements the reference counts of all interfaces in x25_link_free, the way it is already done in x25_link_device_down for NETDEV_DOWN events.

If we break the loop when there are still skbs in tq and no skb in rq, the skbs will be left in txq until new skbs are enqueued into rq. In rare cases, no new skb is queued, then these skbs will stay in rq forever. After this patch, if tq isn't empty when we break the loop, we goto resched directly.

If we are using a legacy interrupt, our IRQ may be shared and our interrupt handler may be called even though interrupts are disabled on the NIC. When we change ring sizes, we reallocate the event queue and the interrupt handler may use an invalid pointer when called for another device's interrupt. Maintain a legacy_irq_enabled flag and test that at the top of the interrupt handler. Note that this problem results from the need to work around broken INT_ISR0 reads, and does not affect the legacy interrupt handler for Falcon A1.

Pavel Emelyanov tried to fix a race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and sk_clone() in commit 47e958ea Problem is we can have several clones sharing a common sk_filter, and these clones might want to sk_filter_attach() their own filters at the same time, and can overwrite old_filter->rcu, corrupting RCU queues. We can not use filter->rcu without being sure no other thread could do the same thing. Switch code to a more conventional ref-counting technique : Do the atomic decrement immediately and queue one rcu call back when last reference is released.

Parsing data using bitfields is messy, because it makes endian handling much harder. AR9002 and earlier got it right, AR9003 got it wrong. This might lead to either using too high or too low tx power values, depending on frequency and eeprom settings. Fix it by getting rid of the CTL related bitfields entirely and use masks instead.

I found a problem using an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel. When CONFIG_IPV6_SIT was enabled, the packets would be rejected as net/ipv6/sit.c was catching all IPPROTO_IPV6 packets and returning an ICMP port unreachable error. I think this patch fixes the problem cleanly. I believe the code in net/ipv4/tunnel4.c:tunnel4_rcv takes care of it properly if none of the handlers claim the skb.

The code for the b44_wap54g10_workaround was never included, because the config option was wrong. The nvram_get function was never in mainline kernel, only in external OpenWrt patches. The code should be compiled in when CONFIG_BCM47XX is selected and not when CONFIG_SSB_DRIVER_MIPS is selected, because nvram_getenv is only available on bcm47xx platforms and now in the mainline kernel code. Using an include is better than a second function declaration, to fix this when the function signature changes. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

The ip6_tunnel always assumes it consumes 40 bytes (ip6 hdr) of the mtu of the underlaying device. So for a normal ethernet bearer, the mtu of the ip6_tunnel is 1460. However, when creating a tunnel the encap limit option is enabled by default, and it consumes 8 bytes more, so the true mtu shall be 1452. I dont really know if this breaks some statement in some RFC, so this is a request for comments. Signed-off-by: Anders Franzen <anders.franzen@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
