We don't need to start from the curr_active_slave as the frame will be sent to all eligible slaves anyway, so we remove the unnecessary local variables, checks and comments, and make it use the standard list API. This has the nice side-effect that later when it's converted to RCU a race condition will be avoided which could lead to double packet tx. Signed-off-by:

In all the cases we already hold bond->lock for reading, so the slave can't get away and the check != NULL is sufficient. curr_active_slave can still change after the read_lock is unlocked prior to use of the dereferenced value, so there's no need for it. It either contains a valid slave which we use (and can't get away), or it is NULL which is checked. In some places the read_lock of curr_slave_lock was left because we need it not to change while performing some action (e.g. syncing current active slave's addresses, sending ARP requests through the active slave) such cases will be dealt with individually while converting to RCU.

This patch aims to remove struct bonding's first_slave and struct slave's next and prev pointers, and replace them with the standard Linux list API. The old macros are converted to list API as well and some new primitives are available now. The checks if there're slaves that used slave_cnt have been replaced by the list_empty macro. Also a few small style fixes, changing longest -> shortest line in local variable declarations, leaving an empty line before return and removing unnecessary brackets. This is the first step to gradual RCU conversion. Signed-off-by:

That's because 2001::803/64 is still alive, which make onlink=1 in ipv6_del_addr, this is where the substantial difference between same prefix configuration and different prefix configuration :) So packet are still transmitted out to 2001::806 with source address as 2001::804/64. So bump genid will clear rt in (3), and up layer protocol will eventually find the right one for themselves.

On very rare occasions, repeated load/unload stress test in the presence of our storage driver (bnx2i/bnx2fc) causes a kernel panic in bnx2x code (NULL pointer dereference). Stack traces indicate the issue happens during MAC configuration; thorough code review showed that indeed several races exist in which one thread can iterate over the list of configured MACs while another deletes entries from the same list. This patch adds a varient on the single-writer/Multiple-reader lock mechanism - It utilizes an already exsiting bottom-half lock, using it so that Whenever a writer is unable to continue due to the existence of another writer/reader, it pends its request for future deliverance. The writer / last readers will check for the existence of such requests and perform them instead of the original initiator. This prevents the writer from having to sleep while waiting for the lock to be accessible, which might cause deadlocks given the locks already held by the writer. Another result of this patch is that setting of Rx Mode is now made in sleepable context - Setting of Rx Mode is made under a bottom-half lock, which was always nontrivial for the bnx2x driver, as the HW/FW configuration requires wait for completions. Since sleep was impossible (due to the sleepless-context), various mechanisms were utilized to prevent the calling thread from sleep, but the truth was that when the caller thread (i.e, the one calling ndo_set_rx_mode()) returned, the Rx mode was still not set in HW/FW. bnx2x_set_rx_mode() will now overtly schedule for the Rx changes to be configured by the sp_rtnl_task which hold the RTNL lock and is sleepable context.

After commit 4aa5dee4 ("net: convert resend IGMP to notifier event") we try to acquire rtnl in bond_resend_igmp_join_requests but it can be scheduled with rtnl already held (e.g. when bond_change_active_slave is called with rtnl) causing a loop of immediate reschedules + calls because rtnl_trylock fails each time since it's being already held. For me this issue leads to system hangs very easy: modprobe bonding; ifconfig bond0 up; ifenslave bond0 eth0; rmmod bonding; The fix is to introduce a small (1 jiffy) delay which is enough for the sections holding rtnl to finish without putting any strain on the system. Also adjust the timer in bond_change_active_slave to be 1 jiffy, since most of the time it's called with rtnl already held. Signed-off-by:

The initial driver support was for a single mPIPE shim on the chip (as is the case for the Gx36 hardware). The Gx72 chip has two mPIPE shims, so we extend the driver to handle that case. Signed-off-by:

The code used to call napi_disable() in an interrupt handler (from smp_call_function), which in turn could call msleep(). Unfortunately you can't sleep in an interrupt context. Luckily it turns out all the NAPI support functions are just operating on data structures and not on any deeply per-cpu data, so we can arrange to set up and tear down all the NAPI state on the core driving the process, and just do the IRQ enable/disable as a smp_call_function thing.

This change allows the user to configure various features of the tile networking drivers on and off. There is no change to the default initialization state of either the tilegx or tilepro drivers. Neither driver needs the ndo_fix_features or ndo_set_features callbacks, since the generic code already handles the dependencies for fix_features, and there is no hardware state to tweak in set_features.

grp->grp_id is obsolete. It has no use in the current driver. Remove it from gfar_priv_grp and put the 'rstat' member in its place, in the 2nd cache line, as rstat needs fast access. Signed-off-by:

David suggested to add a BUG_ON() to catch if some layer sets skb->sk pointer without a corresponding destructor. As skb can sit in a queue, it's mandatory to make sure the socket cannot disappear, and it's usually done by taking a reference on the socket, then releasing it from the skb destructor. This patch is a follow-up to commit c34a7612 ("net: skb_orphan() changes") and will be reverted after catching all possible offenders if any. Suggested-by:

With the addition of the suppress operation (7764a45a ("fib_rules: add .suppress operation") we rely on accurate error reporting of the fib_rules.actions. fib6_rule_action always returned -EAGAIN in case we could not find a matching route and 0 if a rule was matched. This also included a match for blackhole or prohibited rule actions which could get suppressed by the new logic. So adapt fib6_rule_action to always return the correct error code as its counterpart fib4_rule_action does. This also fixes a possiblity of nullptr-deref where we don't find a table, thus rt == NULL. Because the condition rt != ip6_null_entry still holdes it seems we could later get a nullptr bug on dereference rt->dst. v2: a) Fixed a brain fart in the commit msg (the rule => a table, etc).

The content is meant to capture specific items that are unique to netdev workflow, and not re-document generic linux expectations that are already captured elsewhere.

This change adds a new operation to the fib_rules_ops struct; it allows the suppression of routing decisions if certain criteria are not met by its results. The first implemented constraint is a minimum prefix length added to the structures of routing rules. If a rule is added with a minimum prefix length >0, only routes meeting this threshold will be considered. Any other (more general) routing table entries will be ignored. When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it is often convinient to reference the main routing table multiple times - but omitting the default route. Using this patch and a modified "ip" utility, this can be achieved by using the following command sequence: $ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1 $ ip rule add pref 100 table main prefixlength 1 $ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can be found. By using a minimal prefixlength of 1, the default route (/0) of the table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to destinations with more specific routing entries are processed as usual.

Commit 547669d4 ("tcp: xps: fix reordering issues") added unexpected reorders in case netem is used in a MQ setup for high performance test bed.

In order to allow producers to send more packets, we want to keep sk_wmem_alloc from reaching sk_sndbuf limit. We can do that by accounting one byte per skb in netem queues, so that TCP stack is not fooled too much.

Current net name space has only one genid for both IPv4 and IPv6, it has below drawbacks: - Add/delete an IPv4 address will invalidate all IPv6 routing table entries. - Insert/remove XFRM policy will also invalidate both IPv4/IPv6 routing table entries even when the policy is only applied for one address family. Thus, this patch attempt to split one genid for two to cater for IPv4 and IPv6 separately in a fine granularity. Signed-off-by:
