As cgw_create_job() is always under rtnl_lock protection, __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() should be used to find interface handler in it having us avoid to change interface reference counter.

Sabrina Dubroca says: ==================== atheros: modify statistics code Following Ben Hutchings's advice on how to fill net_stats in alx [1], this patch modifies the other atheros ethernet drivers similarly. Minor whitespace/empty line changes in atl1c and atl1e to make the code completely consistent between atl1c, atl1e, and alx. I don't have this hardware, so these patches have only been compile-tested. v2 (changes only in atl1): - don't set soft_stats.rx_missed_errors (Ben) - add errors to soft_stats.{rx,tx}_packets (Ben) - add soft_stats.rx_dropped field and update soft_stats.rx_dropped instead of netdev->stats (overwritten) outside of the stats update function Detail of the changes (v1): * atl1/atl1c/atl1e - fix collisions computation - rx_dropped = rx_rrd_ov - rx_over_errors = 0 - rx_missed_errors = 0 - X_packets = X_ok + X_errors * only atl1c/atl1e - add rx_rxf_ov to rx_errors [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg264930.html ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

As Ben Hutchings pointed out for the stats in alx, some hardware-specific stats aren't matched to the right net_device_stats field. Also fix the collision field and include errors in the total number of RX/TX packets. Add a rx_dropped field and use it where netdev->stats was modified directly out of the stats update function.

Oleg Moroz added support for a new PCI card to the generic SJA1000 PCI driver, Guenter Roeck's patch limits the flexcan driver to little endian arm (and powerpc) and I fixed a sparse warning found by the kbuild robot in the ti_hecc driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch removes the net_random and net_srandom macros and replaces them with direct calls to the prandom ones. As new commits only seem to use prandom_u32 there is no use to keep them around. This change makes it easier to grep for users of prandom_u32.

Ben Hutchings says: ==================== Improve tracing at the driver/core boundary These patches add static tracpeoints at the driver/core boundary which record various skb fields likely to be useful for datapath debugging. On the TX side the boundary is where the core calls ndo_start_xmit, and on the RX side it is where any of the various exported receive functions is called. The set of skb fields is mostly based on what I thought would be interesting for sfc. These patches are basically the same as what I sent as an RFC in November, but rebased. They now depend on 'net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding', so please merge net into net-next before trying to apply them. The first patch fixes a code formatting error left behind after that fix. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The existing net/netif_rx and net/netif_receive_skb trace events provide little information about the skb, nor do they indicate how it entered the stack. Add trace events at entry of each of the exported functions, including most fields that are likely to be interesting for debugging driver datapath behaviour. Split netif_rx() and netif_receive_skb() so that internal calls are not traced. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The existing net/net_dev_xmit trace event provides little information about the skb that has been passed to the driver, and it is not simple to add more since the skb may already have been freed at the point the event is emitted. Add a separate trace event before the skb is passed to the driver, including most fields that are likely to be interesting for debugging driver datapath behaviour.

Paul Durrant says: ==================== make skb_checksum_setup generally available Both xen-netfront and xen-netback need to be able to set up the partial checksum offset of an skb and may also need to recalculate the pseudo- header checksum in the process. This functionality is currently private and duplicated between the two drivers. Patch #1 of this series moves the implementation into the core network code as there is nothing xen-specific about it and it is potentially useful to any network driver. Patch #2 removes the private implementation from netback. Patch #3 removes the private implementation from netfront. v2: - Put skb_checksum_setup in skbuff.c rather than dev.c - remove inline ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds a function to set up the partial checksum offset for IP packets (and optionally re-calculate the pseudo-header checksum) into the core network code. The implementation was previously private and duplicated between xen-netback and xen-netfront, however it is not xen-specific and is potentially useful to any network driver.
