Change details: - This patch contains the changes as a result of redesigning of Tx, Rx data path setup. In the old design, setting up Txqs, Rxqs were done in the driver. With the new design, most of the hardware setup steps for the Txq, Rxqs are moved to FW. Host driver issues commands to FW through the message queue to setup/teardown tx, rx data path. FW performs necessary steps and responds back to the driver with a status. - As a result of this redesign, the state machine implementation for Tx, Rx objects have changed significantly. Instead of doing the raw register access, these state machines mostly send a command to FW and wait for response and take the next action. In addition to tx, rx datapath setup, this patch also deals with rx filter configuration - such as unicast address, multicast address, vlan filter, promiscuous mode etc. Signed-off-by: Rasesh Mody <rmody@brocade.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Change details: - This patch contains the messages, opcodes and structure format for the messages and responses exchanged between driver and the FW. In addition this patch contains the state machine implementation for Ethport, Enet, IOCEth. - Ethport object is responsible for receiving link state events, sending port enable/disable commands to FW. - Enet object is responsible for synchronizing initialization/teardown of tx & rx datapath configuration. - IOCEth object is responsible for init/un-init of IO Controller in the adapter which runs the FW. - This patch also contains code for initialization and resource assignment for Ethport, Enet, IOCEth, Tx, Rx objects.

Change details: - Currently modules communicate with the FW using 32 byte command and response register. This limits the size of the command and response messages exchanged with the FW to 32 bytes. We need a mechanism to exchange the comamnds and responses exchange with FW that exceeds 32 bytes. - MSGQ implementation provides that facility. It removes the assumption that command/response queue size is precisely calculated to accommodate all concurrent FW commands/responses. The queue depth is made variable now, defined by a macro. A waiting command list is implemented to hold all the commands when there is no place in the command queue. Callback is implemented for each command entry to invoke the module posting the command, when there is space in the command queue and the command was finally posted to the queue. Module/Object information is embedded in the response for tracking purpose. Signed-off-by: Rasesh Mody <rmody@brocade.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The dp83640 buffers receive time stamps from special PHY status frames, matching them to received PTP packets in a work queue. Because the timeout for orphaned time stamps is so long and the buffer is so small, the driver can drop time stamps under moderate PTP traffic. This commit fixes the issue by decreasing the timeout to (at least) one timer tick and increasing the buffer size.

After resetting the time, the PPS signals on the FIPER output channels are incorrectly offset from the clock time, as can be readily verified by a looping back the FIPER to the external time stamp input. Despite its name, setting the "Fiper Realignment Disable" bit seems to fix the problem, at least on the P2020. Also, following the example code from the Freescale BSP, it is not really necessary to disable and re-enable the timer in order to reprogram the FIPER. (The documentation is rather unclear on this point. It seems that writing to the alarm register also disables the FIPER.)

Make sure skb dst has reference when moving to another context.

The raw sockets can provide source address for routing but their privileges are not considered. We can provide non-local source address, make sure the FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC flag is set if socket has privileges for this, i.e. based on hdrincl (IP_HDRINCL) and transparent flags.

TCP in some cases uses different global (raw) socket to send RST and ACK. The transparent flag is not set there. Currently, it is a problem for rerouting after the previous change. Fix it by simplifying the checks in ip_route_me_harder and use FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC even for sockets. It looks safe because the initial routing allowed this source address to be used and now we just have to make sure the packet is rerouted. As a side effect this also allows rerouting for normal raw sockets that use spoofed source addresses which was not possible even before we eliminated the ip_route_input call.

Currently userland will barf when including linux/netlink.h unless it precisely includes sys/socket.h first. The issue is where the definition of "sa_family_t" comes from. We've been back and forth on how to fix this issue in the past, see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/622621 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/143380 Ben Hutchings suggested we take a hint from how we handle the sockaddr_storage type. First we define a "__kernel_sa_family_t" to linux/socket.h that is always defined. Then if __KERNEL__ is defined, we also define "sa_family_t" as equal to "__kernel_sa_family_t". Then in places like linux/netlink.h we use __kernel_sa_family_t in user visible datastructures. Reported-by: Michel Machado <michel@digirati.com.br> Signed-off-by: David S.

IP_PKTOPTIONS is broken for 32-bit applications running in COMPAT mode on 64-bit kernels. This happens because msghdr's msg_flags field is always set to zero.

compare_keys and ip_route_input_common rely on rt_oif for distinguishing of input and output routes with same keys values. But sometimes the input route has also same hash chain (keyed by iif != 0) with the output routes (keyed by orig_oif=0). Problem visible if running with small number of rhash_entries. Fix them to use rt_route_iif instead. By this way input route can not be returned to users that request output route. The patch fixes the ip_rt_bug errors that were reported in ip_local_out context, mostly for 255.255.255.255 destinations. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.
