fib_nl_delrule() calls synchronize_rcu() for no apparent reason, while rtnl is held. I suspect it was done to avoid an atomic_inc_not_zero() in fib_rules_lookup(), which commit 7fa7cb71 added anyway. Signed-off-by:

There were no curly braces in this if condition so it always enabled full duplex. And ecmd->speed is an unsigned short so it is never equal to -1. The effect is that mii_ethtool_sset() fails with -EINVAL and an error is printed to dmesg. Signed-off-by:

commit b30973f8 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node. skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one. In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load, and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second, needing all the available cpus. Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local' memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance. Signed-off-by:

Using standard skb allocations in r8169 leads to order-3 allocations (if PAGE_SIZE=4096), because NIC needs 16383 bytes, and skb overhead makes this bigger than 16384 -> 32768 bytes per "skb" Using kmalloc() permits to reduce memory requirements of one r8169 nic by 4Mbytes. (256 frames * 16Kbytes). This is fine since a hardware bug requires us to copy incoming frames, so we build real skb when doing this copy. Signed-off-by:

Remove a DCB check config from DCB configuration we continue to configure DCB even if it fails so don't even bother to check. Plus user space (lldpad) checks this before programming the hw anyways. Worse case is we program some values into the hw that don't make total sense resulting in incorrect bandwidth allocation. Signed-off-by:

During cnic shutdown, the original driver code requires userspace to close the uio device within a few seconds. This doesn't always happen as the userapp may be hung or otherwise take a long time to close. The system may crash when this happens. We fix the problem by decoupling the uio structures from the cnic structures during cnic shutdown. We do not unregister the uio device until the cnic driver is unloaded. This eliminates the unreliable wait loop for uio to close. All uio structures are kept in a linked list. If the device is shutdown and later brought back up again, the uio strcture will be found in the linked list and coupled back to the cnic structures. Signed-off-by:

The bnx2x devices require a 2 second quiet time before sending the last RAMROD command to destroy a connection. This sleep wait adds up to a long delay when iscsid is serially destroying maultiple connections. Create a workqueue to perform the final connection cleanup in the background to speed up the process. This significantly speeds up the process as the wait time can be done in parallel for multiple connections. Signed-off-by:

Based on suggestion by Rémi Denis-Courmont to implement 'connect' for Pipe controller logic, this patch implements 'connect' socket call for the Pipe controller logic. The patch does following:- - Removes setsockopts for PNPIPE_CREATE and PNPIPE_DESTROY - Adds setsockopt for setting the Pipe handle value - Implements connect socket call - Updates the Pipe controller logic User-space should now follow below sequence with Pipe controller:- -socket -bind -setsockopt for PNPIPE_PIPE_HANDLE -connect -setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP -setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENABLE GPRS/3G data has been tested working fine with this.

We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in network stack, using RCU conversions. There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some app servers, mmap af_packet) We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes per device.

This patch generalises the task of determining data loss from RFC 4340, 7.7.1. Let S_A, S_B be sequence numbers such that S_B is "after" S_A, and let N_B be the NDP count of packet S_B. Then, using modulo-2^48 arithmetic, D = S_B - S_A - 1 is an upper bound of the number of lost data packets, D - N_B is an approximation of the number of lost data packets (there are cases where this is not exact). The patch implements this as dccp_loss_count(S_A, S_B, N_B) := max(S_B - S_A - 1 - N_B, 0) Signed-off-by:Ivo Calado <ivocalado@embedded.ufcg.edu.br> Signed-off-by:

This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake. Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2), it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection. This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time during the lifetime of a connection. Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are updated, as implemented by the patch. A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the feature negotiation has completed. During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection; the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

Add a seqlock in struct neighbour to protect neigh->ha[], and avoid dirtying neighbour in stress situation (many different flows / dsts) Dirtying takes place because of read_lock(&n->lock) and n->used writes.

Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions), the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace. Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:
