This change removes UDP from the supported protocols for RSS hashing. The reason for removing this protocol is because IP fragmentation was causing a network flow to be broken into two streams, one for fragmented, and one for non-fragmented and this in turn was causing out-of-order issues.

Following commit 1437ce39 "ethtool: Change ethtool_op_set_flags to validate flags", ethtool_op_set_flags takes a third parameter and cannot be used directly as an implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags. Changes nes and ipoib driver to pass in the appropriate value. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Acked-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The 82576 expects the second rx queue in any pool to receive L2 switch loop back packets sent from the second tx queue in another pool. The 82576 VF driver does not enable the second rx queue so if the PF driver sends packets destined to a VF from its second tx queue then the VF driver will never see them. In SR-IOV mode limit the number of tx queues used by the PF driver to one. This patch fixes a bug reported in which the PF cannot communciate with the VF and should be considered for 2.6.34 stable.

This patch removes the CONFIG_MCORE2 check from around NET_IP_ALIGN. It is based on a suggestion from Andi Kleen. The assumption is that there are not any x86 cores where unaligned access is really slow, and this change would allow for a performance improvement to still exist on configurations that are not necessarily optimized for Core 2.

Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2). It can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered there. It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has no way of doing so. This means it is not suitable for use as a default implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags. Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and change all current callers to pass this parameter. Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to call ethtool_op_set_flags().

add fast path for in-order fragments As the fragments are sent in order in most of OSes, such as Windows, Darwin and FreeBSD, it is likely the new fragments are at the end of the inet_frag_queue.

/proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/netstat expose SNMP counters. Width of these counters is either 32 or 64 bits, depending on the size of "unsigned long" in kernel. This means user program parsing these files must already be prepared to deal with 64bit values, regardless of user program being 32 or 64 bit. This patch introduces 64bit snmp values for IPSTAT mib, where some counters can wrap pretty fast if they are 32bit wide. # netstat -s|egrep "InOctets|OutOctets" InOctets: 244068329096 OutOctets: 244069348848 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
