      selftests/net: ignore background traffic in psock_fanout · cc30c93f
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      The packet fanout test generates UDP traffic and reads this with
      a pair of packet sockets, testing the various fanout algorithms.
      
      Avoid non-determinism from reading unrelated background traffic.
      Fanout decisions are made before unrelated packets can be dropped with
      a filter, so that is an insufficient strategy [*]. Run the packet
      socket tests in a network namespace, similar to msg_zerocopy.
      
      It it still good practice to install a filter on a packet socket
      before accepting traffic. Because this is example code, demonstrate
      that pattern. Open the socket initially bound to no protocol, install
      a filter, and only then bind to ETH_P_IP.
      
      Another source of non-determinism is hash collisions in FANOUT_HASH.
      The hash function used to select a socket in the fanout group includes
      the pseudorandom number hashrnd, which is not visible from userspace.
      To work around this, the test tries to find a pair of UDP source ports
      that do not collide. It gives up too soon (5 times, every 32 runs) and
      output is confusing. Increase tries to 20 and revise the error msg.
      
      [*] another approach would be to add a third socket to the fanout
          group and direct all unexpected traffic here. This is possible
          only when reimplementing methods like RR or HASH alongside this
          extra catch-all bucket, using the BPF fanout method.

      atm: idt77252: remove redundant bit-wise or'ing of zero · 3c69f792
      Colin Ian King authored
      Zero is being bit-wise or'd in a calculation twice; these are redundant
      and can be removed.

      rds: rds_msg_zcopy should return error of null rm->data.op_mmp_znotifier · 79a5b972
      Sowmini Varadhan authored
      if either or both of MSG_ZEROCOPY and SOCK_ZEROCOPY have not been
      specified, the rm->data.op_mmp_znotifier allocation will be skipped.
      In this case, it is invalid ot pass down a cmsghdr with
      RDS_CMSG_ZCOPY_COOKIE, so return EINVAL from rds_msg_zcopy for this
      case.

      r8169: simplify and improve check for dash · 9dbe7896
      Heiner Kallweit authored
      r8168_check_dash() returns false anyway for all chip versions not
      supporting dash. So we can simplify the check conditions.
      
      In addition change the check functions to return bool instead of int,
      because they actually return a bool value.

      r8169: disable WOL per default · 7edf6d31
      Heiner Kallweit authored
      Currently, if BIOS enables WOL in the chip, settings are inconsistent
      because the device isn't marked as wakeup-enabled (if not done
      explicitly via userspace tools). This causes issues with suspend/
      resume because mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend() checks whether device is
      wakeup-enabled. In detail MDIO bus access in phy_suspend() can fail
      because the MDIO bus is disabled.
      
      In the history of the driver we find two competing approaches:
      8f9d5138 "r8169: remember WOL preferences on driver load" prefers
      to preserve what the BIOS may have set, whilst bde135a6
      "r8169: only enable PCI wakeups when WOL is active" disabled PCI
      wakeup per default to work around a bug on one platform.
      
      Seems like nobody complained after the latter patch about non-working
      WOL, what makes me think that nobody uses WOL w/o configuring it
      explicitly.
      
      My opinion:
      Vast majority of users doesn't use WOL even if the BIOS enables it in
      the chip. And having WOL being active keeps the PHY(s) from powering
      down if being idle.
      If somebody needs WOL, he can enable it during boot, e.g. by
      configuring systemd.link/WakeOnLan.
      
      Therefore, to make WOL consistent again, disable it per default.
