      bnx2x: Set ivi->vlan field as an integer · a99ef548
      Simon Horman authored
      In bnx2x_get_vf_config():
      * The vlan field of ivi is a 32-bit integer, it is used to store a vlan ID.
      * The vlan field of bulletin is a 16-bit integer, it is also used to store
        a vlan ID.
      
      In the current code, ivi->vlan is set using memset. But in the case of
      setting it to the value of bulletin->vlan, this involves reading
      32 bits from a 16bit source. This is likely safe, as the following
      6 bytes are padding in the same structure, but none the less, it seems
      undesirable.
      
      However, it is entirely unclear to me how this scheme works on
      big-endian systems.
      
      Resolve this by simply assigning integer values to ivi->vlan.
      
      Flagged by W=1 builds.
      f.e. gcc-14 reports:

      mpls: Reduce skb re-allocations due to skb_cow() · f4ae8420
      Christoph Paasch authored
      mpls_xmit() needs to prepend the MPLS-labels to the packet. That implies
      one needs to make sure there is enough space for it in the headers.
      
      Calling skb_cow() implies however that one wants to change even the
      playload part of the packet (which is not true for MPLS). Thus, call
      skb_cow_head() instead, which is what other tunnelling protocols do.
      
      Running a server with this comm it entirely removed the calls to
      pskb_expand_head() from the callstack in mpls_xmit() thus having
      significant CPU-reduction, especially at peak times.
