With the Intel 82527EI (driver: e1000e) there is an issue when running the ptpd2 program, that leads to a kernel oops. The reason is here that in e1000_xmit_frame() a work queue will be scheduled that has not been initialized in this case. The work queue "tx_hwstamp_work" will only be initialized if adapter->flags & FLAG_HAS_HW_TIMESTAMP set. This check is missing in e1000_xmit_frame(). The following patch adds the missing check.

Merge tag 'mac80211-next-for-davem-2015-01-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next Some further updates for net-next: * fix network-manager which was broken by the previous changes * fix delete-station events, which were broken by me making the genlmsg_end() mistake * fix a timer left running during suspend in some race conditions that would cause an annoying (but harmless) warning * (less important, but in the tree already) remove 80+80 MHz rate reporting since the spec doesn't distinguish it from 160 MHz; as the bitrate they're both 160 MHz bandwidth Signed-off-by:

My previous patch to this file changed the code to be bug-compatible towards userspace. Unless userspace (which I wasn't able to find) implements the dump reader by hand in a wrong way, this isn't needed. If it uses libnl or similar code putting multiple messages into a single SKB is far more efficient. Change the code to do this. While at it, also clean it up and don't use so many variables - just store the address in the callback args directly. Signed-off-by:

This tc action allows you to retrieve the connection tracking mark This action has been used heavily by openwrt for a few years now. There are known limitations currently: doesn't work for initial packets, since we only query the ct table. Fine given use case is for returning packets no implicit defrag. frags should be rare so fix later.. won't work for more complex tasks, e.g. lookup of other extensions since we have no means to store results we still have a 2nd lookup later on via normal conntrack path. This shouldn't break anything though since skb->nfct isn't altered. V2: remove unnecessary braces (Jiri) change the action identifier to 14 (Jiri) Fix some stylistic issues caught by checkpatch V3: Move module params to bottom (Cong) Get rid of tcf_hashinfo_init and friends and conform to newer API (Cong) Acked-by:

Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: DSA fixes for bridge and ip-autoconf These two patches address some real world use cases of the DSA master and slave network devices. You have already seen patch 1 previously and you rejected it since my explanations were not good enough to provide a justification as to why it is useful, hopefully this time my explanation is better. Patch 2 solves a different, yet very real problem as well at the bridge layer when using DSA network devices. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

DSA-enabled master network devices with a switch tagging protocol should strip the protocol specific format before handing the frame over to higher layer. When adding such a DSA master network device as a bridge member, we go through the following code path when receiving a frame: __netif_receive_skb_core -> first ptype check against ptype_all is not returning any handler for this skb -> check and invoke rx_handler: -> deliver frame to the bridge layer: br_handle_frame DSA registers a ptype handler with the fake ETH_XDSA ethertype, which is called *after* the bridge-layer rx_handler has run. br_handle_frame() tries to parse the frame it received from the DSA master network device, and will not be able to match any of its conditions and jumps straight at the end of the end of br_handle_frame() and returns RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED there. Since we returned RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED, __netif_receive_skb_core() stops RX processing for this frame and returns NET_RX_SUCCESS, so we never get a chance to call our switch tag packet processing logic and deliver frames to the DSA slave network devices, and so we do not get any functional bridge members at all. Instead of cluttering the bridge receive path with DSA-specific checks, and rely on assumptions about how __netif_receive_skb_core() is processing frames, we simply deny adding the DSA master network device (conduit interface) as a bridge member, leaving only the slave DSA network devices to be bridge members, since those will work correctly in all circumstances.

The logic to configure a network interface for kernel IP auto-configuration is very simplistic, and does not handle the case where a device is stacked onto another such as with DSA. This causes the kernel not to open and configure the master network device in a DSA switch tree, and therefore slave network devices using this master network devices as conduit device cannot be open. This restriction comes from a check in net/dsa/slave.c, which is basically checking the master netdev flags for IFF_UP and returns -ENETDOWN if it is not the case. Automatically bringing-up DSA master network devices allows DSA slave network devices to be used as valid interfaces for e.g: NFS root booting by allowing kernel IP autoconfiguration to succeed on these interfaces. On the reverse path, make sure we do not attempt to close a DSA-enabled device as this would implicitely prevent the slave DSA network device from operating. Signed-off-by:

mii_check_media() does not update the link (carrier) state or log link changes when the link mode is forced. Drivers using the mii library must do this themselves, but most of them do not. Instead of changing them all, provide a sensible default behaviour similar to mii_check_link() when the mode is forced. via-rhine depends on it being a no-op in this case, so make its call to mii_check_media() conditional.

NetCP has a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) subsystem with a ethernet switch sub-module to send and receive packets. NetCP also includes a packet accelerator (PA) module to perform packet classification operations such as header matching, and packet modification operations such as checksum generation. NetCP can also optionally include a Security Accelerator(SA) capable of performing IPSec operations on ingress/egress packets. Keystone SoC's also have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Subsystem (XGbE) which includes a 3-port Ethernet switch sub-module capable of 10Gb/s and 1Gb/s rates per Ethernet port. Both GBE and XGBE network processors supported using common driver. It is also designed to handle future variants of NetCP. version history --------------- v7->v8 - Reworked comments against v7, related to checker warning. - Patch 2/4 that has all of the driver code in v7 is now split into 3 patches based on functionality so that we have 3 smaller patches review instead of a big patch. - Patch for MAINTAINER is merged to 2/4 along with netcp core driver - Separate patch (3/4) for 1G and (4/4) for 10G - Removed big endian support for initial version (will add it later) v6->v7 - Fixed some minor documentation error and also modified the netcp driver to fix the set* functions to include correct le/be macros. v5->v6 - updated version after incorporating comments [6] from David Miller, David Laight & Geert Uytterhoeven on v5. I would like get this in for v3.19 merge window if the latest version is acceptable. v4->v5 - Sorry to spin v5 quickly but I missed few check-patch warnings which were pointed by Joe Perches(thanks). I folded his changes [5] along with few more check-patch warning fixes. I would like get this in for v3.18 merge window if David is happy with this version. v3->v4 - Couple of fixes in in error path as pointed [4] out by David. Rest of the patches are unchanged from v3. v2->v3 - Update v3 after incorporating Jamal and David Miller's comment/suggestion from earlier versions [1] [2]. After per the discussion here [3], the controversial custom exports have been dropped now. And for future future offload support additions, we will plug into generic frameworks as an when they are available. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Merge branch 'link_netns' Nicolas Dichtel says: ==================== netns: allow to identify peer netns The goal of this serie is to be able to multicast netlink messages with an attribute that identify a peer netns. This is needed by the userland to interpret some information contained in netlink messages (like IFLA_LINK value, but also some other attributes in case of x-netns netdevice (see also http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/315933/focus=316064 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/28301/focus=4239)). Ids of peer netns can be set by userland via a new rtnl cmd RTM_NEWNSID. When the kernel needs an id for a peer (for example when advertising a new x-netns interface via netlink), if the user didn't allocate an id, one will be automatically allocated. These ids are stored per netns and are local (ie only valid in the netns where they are set). To avoid allocating an int for each peer netns, I use idr_for_each() to retrieve the id of a peer netns. Note that it will be possible to add a table (struct net -> id) later to optimize this lookup if needed. Patch 1/4 introduces the rtnetlink API mechanism to set and get these ids. Patch 2/4 and 3/4 implements an example of how to use these ids when advertising information about a x-netns interface. And patch 4/4 shows that the netlink messages can be symetric between a GET and a SET. iproute2 patches are available, I can send them on demand. Here is a small screenshot to show how it can be used by userland. $ ip netns add foo $ ip netns del foo $ ip netns $ touch /var/run/netns/init_net $ mount --bind /proc/1/ns/net /var/run/netns/init_net $ ip netns add foo $ ip -n foo netns foo init_net $ ip -n foo netns set init_net 0 $ ip -n foo netns set foo 1 $ ip netns foo init_net $ ip -n foo netns foo (id: 1) init_net (id: 0) $ ip -n foo link add ipip1 link-netnsid 0 type ipip remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249 $ ip -n foo link ls ipip1 6: ipip1@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ipip 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121 link-netnsid 0 $ ip netns foo init_net $ ip -n foo link add ipip2 type ipip remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249 $ ip -n foo link set ipip2 netns init_net $ ip link ls ipip2 7: ipip2@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ipip 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121 link-netnsid 0 $ ip netns foo (id: 0) init_net v4 -> v5: use rtnetlink instead of genetlink allocate automatically an id if user didn't assign one rename include/uapi/linux/netns.h to include/uapi/linux/net_namespace.h add vxlan in patch #3 RFCv3 -> v4: rebase on net-next add copyright text in the new netns.h file RFCv2 -> RFCv3: ids are now defined by userland (via netlink).

It's possible to get an id for a peer netns only if the current netns and the peer netns have the same user ns parent. ==================== Signed-off-by:

With this patch, a user can define an id for a peer netns by providing a FD or a PID. These ids are local to the netns where it is added (ie valid only into this netns). The main function (ie the one exported to other module), peernet2id(), allows to get the id of a peer netns. If no id has been assigned by the user, this function allocates one. These ids will be used in netlink messages to point to a peer netns, for example in case of a x-netns interface. Signed-off-by:

In production traffic, we also see severe rx_dropped in the tunl iface and it is probably due to this limit: skb_queue_len(&cell->napi_skbs) > netdev_max_backlog.

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable. Signed-off-by: -

Commit 07f6c4bc (tipc: convert tipc reference table to use generic rhashtable) introduced a problem with port listing in the new netlink API. It broke the resume functionality resulting in a never ending loop. This was caused by starting with the first hash table every time subsequently never returning an empty skb (terminating). This patch fixes the resume mechanism by keeping a logical reference to the last hash table along with a logical reference to the socket (port) that didn't fit in the previous message. Signed-off-by:

This patch benefits from newly introduced switchdev notifier and uses it to propagate fdb learn events from rocker driver to bridge. That avoids direct function calls and possible use by other listeners (ovs). Suggested-by:

This patch introduces new notifier for purposes of exposing events which happen on switch driver side. The consumers of the event messages are mainly involved masters, namely bridge and ovs. Suggested-by:
