tcp_md5sig_pool is currently an 'array' (a percpu object) of pointers to struct tcp_md5sig_pool. Only the pointers are NUMA aware, but objects themselves are all allocated on a single node. Remove this extra indirection to get proper percpu memory (NUMA aware) and make code simpler. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Change details: - In a continuous sequence of ifconfig up/down operations, there is a small window of race between bnad_set_rx_mode() and bnad_cleanup_rx() while the former tries to access rx_info->rx & the latter sets it to NULL. This race could lead to bna_rx_mode_set() being called with a NULL (rx_info->rx) pointer and a crash. - Hold bnad->bna_lock while setting / unsetting rx_info->rx in bnad_setup_rx() & bnad_cleanup_rx(), thereby eliminating the race described above.

This patch improves the memory utilization with RSC when in one-buffer mode. This is accomplished by making the default buffer sizes match up with the standard memory allocation sizes minus 1K for shared info and padding overhead. By doing this CPU utilization when doing large receives can be reduced by as much as 8%.

Private rx_csum flags are now duplicate of netdev->features & NETIF_F_RXCSUM. Removing this needs deeper surgery.

A user-space process must use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT to find the number of classification rules, then allocate a buffer of the right size, then use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL to fill the buffer. If some other process inserts or deletes a rule between those two operations, the user buffer might turn out to be the wrong size. If it's too small, the return value will be -EMSGSIZE. But if it's too large, there is no indication of this. Fix this by updating the rule_cnt field on return. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Correct the description of ethtool_rxnfc::rule_locs; it is an array of currently used locations, not all possible valid locations. Add note that drivers must not use ethtool_rxnfc::rule_locs. The rule_locs argument to ethtool_ops::get_rxnfc is either NULL or a pointer to an array of u32, so change the parameter type accordingly.

The location of an RX flow classification rule is needed to identify it for retrieval, replacement or deletion. However it also defines the priority of the rule in the case that a flow is matched by multiple rules. This is what I intended to imply by referring to the use of a TCAM, commonly used to implement that behaviour. However there are other ways this can be done, and it is better to specify this explicitly. Further, I want to add the option for automatic selection of rule locations.

This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the "accept_ra" sysctl is used. The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode ("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore been removed. Rationale for the change: Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent, otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the following cases: * accept_ra=0, forwarding=0 * accept_ra=0, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=1, forwarding=2 * accept_ra=2, forwarding=1 In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.) Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect to be the case.

This patch adds a CAN Gateway/Router to route (and modify) CAN frames. It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly. CAN frames can *only* be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop). They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables. From the netlink view this can-gw implements RTM_{NEW|DEL|GET}ROUTE for PF_CAN. The CAN specific userspace tool to manage CAN routing entries can be found in the CAN utils http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/can-utils/cangw.c at the SocketCAN SVN on BerliOS.

An earlier developer misunderstood the meaning of the 'irq' fields and the driver did not support the standard fields. To avoid invalidating existing user documentation, we report and accept changes through either the standard or 'irq' fields. If both are changed at the same time, we prefer the standard field. Also explain why we don't currently use the 'max_frames' fields. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The reported TX IRQ moderation is generated in a completely crazy way. Make it simple and correct. When channels are shared between RX and TX, TX IRQ moderation must be the same as RX IRQ moderation, but must be specified as 0! Allow it to be either specified as the same, or left at its previous value in which case it will be quietly overridden.

It was possible to inadvertently add additional interrupt causes to the MSI-X other interrupt. This occurred when things such as RX buffer overrun events were being triggered at the same time as an event such as a Flow Director table reinit request. In order to avoid this we should be explicitly programming only the interrupts that we want enabled. In addition I am renaming the ixgbe_msix_lsc function and interrupt to drop any implied meaning of this being a link status only interrupt. Unfortunately the patch is a bit ugly due to the fact that ixgbe_irq_enable needed to be moved up before ixgbe_msix_other in order to have things defined in the correct order.
