I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace cleanup. In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the loopback device is present. Things like sending igmp unsubscribe messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present. Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the loopback device directly from net_dev_init(). This guarantes that the loopback device is the first device registered and the last network device to go away. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

When physical devices are inside of network namespace and that network namespace terminates we can not make them go away. We have to keep them and moving them to the initial network namespace is the best we can do. For virtual devices left in a network namespace that is exiting we have no need to preserve them and we now have the infrastructure that allows us to delete them. So delete virtual devices when we exit a network namespace. Keeping the necessary user space clean up after a network namespace exits much more tractable.

I noticed a contention on udp_memory_allocated on regular UDP applications. While tcp_memory_allocated is seldom used, it appears each incoming UDP frame is currently touching udp_memory_allocated when queued, and when received by application. One possible solution is to use sk_mem_reclaim_partial() instead of sk_mem_reclaim(), so that we keep a small reserve (less than one page) of memory for each UDP socket. We did something very similar on TCP side in commit 9993e7d3 ([TCP]: Do not purge sk_forward_alloc entirely in tcp_delack_timer()) A more complex solution would need to convert prot->memory_allocated to use a percpu_counter with batches of 64 or 128 pages.

This patch prepares for the new and extended feature-negotiation routines. The following feature-negotiation data structures are provided: * a container for the various (SP or NN) values, * symbolic state names to track feature states, * an entry struct which holds all current information together, * elementary functions to fill in and process these structures. Entry structs are arranged as FIFO for the following reason: RFC 4340 specifies that if multiple options of the same type are present, they are processed in the order of their appearance in the packet; which means that this order needs to be preserved in the local data structure (the later insertion code also respects this order). The struct list_head has been chosen for the following reasons: the most frequent operations are * add new entry at tail (when receiving Change or setting socket options); * delete entry (when Confirm has been received); * deep copy of entire list (cloning from listening socket onto request socket). The NN value has been set to 64 bit, which is a currently sufficient upper limit (Sequence Window feature has 48 bit). Thanks to Arnaldo, who contributed the streamlined layout of the entry struct.

I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of & will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break compilation.

The only user of the net_device->last_rx field is bonding. This patch adds a conditional update of last_rx to the bonding special logic in skb_bond_should_drop, causing last_rx to only be updated when the ARP monitor is running. This frees network device drivers from the necessity of updating last_rx, which can have cache line thrash issues. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch refines the phylib support in the tg3 driver. The patch does the following things : * Rename tg3_mdio_config() to tg3_mdio_config_5785(). The 5785 will be the only device that will use it so the name might as well reflect that. * Fix a memory leak if mdiobus_register() fails. * Add code to deal with phy device detection failures. * Add code to correct the supported list of phy features based on the MAC <=> PHY interface.

Commit 12dac075 ("tg3: adapt tg3 to use reworked PCI PM code") introduced the new PCI PM API to the tg3 driver. The patch was understandably conservative, so this patch elaborates on that work. The patch starts by creating a single point in tg3_set_power_state() to decide whether or not to enable WOL. The rest of the code in tg3_set_power_state() was then pivoted to use the result of this decision. The patch then makes sure the device is allowed to wakeup before reporting whether or not WOL is currently enabled. The final hunks of the patch consolidate where the WOL capability and WOL enabled flags are set to a single location.

DASH firmware runs on the APE side of the chip, but it requires a few MAC to be programmed correctly. When WOL is enabled and management firmware is disabled, incoming packets are evaluated and discarded at the chip's rule processor. When management firmware is enabled, the hardware must be informed that there are agents further up the stack that still use the incoming frames. Normally management firmware will configure the MAC correctly on its own, but there can be cases where the setting could get clobbered by the driver. The first hunk of this patch preserves this setting. The second hunk of this patch wipes out the driver present signature of the APE memory space. By doing so, the DASH firmware can assume driver absent behavior. Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch replaces the existing APE register mapping code with a call to pci_ioremap_bar(). The code that maps the main device register space did not undergo a similar change because the information derived from the pci_resource_start() and pci_resource_len() is still used to populate the (optional) mem_start and mem_end netdevice members.
