      sfc: Refactor struct efx_tx_buffer to use a flags field · 7668ff9c
      Ben Hutchings authored
      Add a flags field to struct efx_tx_buffer, replacing the
      continuation and map_single booleans.
      
      Since a single descriptor cannot be both a TSO header and the last
      descriptor for an skb, unionise efx_tx_buffer::{skb,tsoh} and add
      flags for validity of these fields.
      
      Clear all flags in free buffers (whereas previously the continuation
      flag would be set).

      net: Set device operstate at registration time · 8f4cccbb
      Ben Hutchings authored
      The operstate of a device is initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN and is updated
      asynchronously by linkwatch after each change of carrier state
      reported by the driver.  The default carrier state of a net device is
      on, and this will never be changed on drivers that do not support
      carrier detection, thus the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN.
      
      For devices that do support carrier detection, the driver must set the
      carrier state to off initially, then poll the hardware state when the
      device is opened.  However, we must not activate linkwatch for a
      unregistered device, and commit b4730016 ('net: Do not fire linkwatch
      events until the device is registered.') ensured that we don't.  But
      this means that the operstate for many devices that support carrier
      detection remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN when it should be IF_OPER_DOWN.
      
      The same issue exists with the dormant state.
      
      The proper initialisation sequence, avoiding a race with opening of
      the device, is:
      
              rtnl_lock();
              rc = register_netdevice(dev);
              if (rc)
                      goto out_unlock;
              netif_carrier_off(dev); /* or netif_dormant_on(dev) */
              rtnl_unlock();
      
      but it seems silly that this should have to be repeated in so many
      drivers.  Further, the operstate seen immediately after opening the
      device may still be IF_OPER_UNKNOWN due to the asynchronous nature of
      linkwatch.
      
      Commit 22604c86 ('net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28') attempted
      to fix this by setting the operstate synchronously, but it was
      reverted as it could lead to deadlock.
      
      This initialises the operstate synchronously at registration time
      only.

      cls_cgroup: Allow classifier cgroups to have their classid reset to 0 · 3afa6d00
      Neil Horman authored
      The network classifier cgroup initalizes each cgroups instance classid value to
      0.  However, the sock_update_classid function only updates classid's in sockets
      if the tasks cgroup classid is not zero, and if it differs from the current
      classid.  The later check is to prevent cache line dirtying, but the former is
      detrimental, as it prevents resetting a classid for a cgroup to 0.  While this
      is not a common action, it has administrative usefulness (if the admin wants to
      disable classification of a certain group temporarily for instance).
      
      Easy fix, just remove the zero check.  Tested successfully by myself
