Fix formatting on r8169 printk Brandon Philips noted that I had a spacing issue in my printk for the last r8169 patch that made it quite ugly. Fix that up and add the PFX macro to it as well so it looks like the other r8169 printks Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The recent changes to add RCU lock verification to rcu_dereference() calls caught out a problem with netlbl_unlhsh_hash(), see below. =================================================== [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] --------------------------------------------------- net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c:246 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! This patch fixes this problem as well as others like it in the NetLabel code. Also included in this patch is the identification of future work to eliminate the RCU read lock in netlbl_domhsh_add(), but in the interest of getting this patch out quickly that work will happen in another patch to be finished later. Thanks to Eric Dumazet and Paul McKenney for their help in understanding the recent RCU changes.

bond_uninit() is invoked with rtnl_lock held, when it does destroy_workqueue() which will potentially flush all works in this workqueue, if we hold rtnl_lock again in the work function, it will deadlock. So move destroy_workqueue() to destructor where rtnl_lock is not held any more, suggested by Eric. Signed-off-by: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

An int urb is constructed but we fill it in with a bulk pipe type. Commit f661c6f8 implemented a pipe type check when CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is enabled. The check failed for all the ar9170 usb transfers and the driver could not configure the wifi dongle. This went unnoticed until now because most people don't have CONFIG_USB_DEBUG enabled.

Previously in interrupt handling tasklet, iwlwifi driver only clear/ack those interrupts that are enabled by the driver through inta_mask. If the hardware generates unattended interrupts, driver will not ack them, defeating the interrupt coalescing feature. This results in high number of interrupts per second and high CPU utilization. This patch addresses this issue by acking those unattended interrupts in the tasklet. Local test showed an order of magnitude improvement in terms of the number of interrupts without sacrificing networking throughput. This is a workaround for hardware issue.

"mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must only enable the netdev queues once all the pending packets have been processed and sent off to the device. In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when aggregation is being enabled.

Official patch to fix the r8169 frame length check error. Based on this initial thread: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=126202972828626&w=1 This is the official patch to fix the frame length problems in the r8169 driver. As noted in the previous thread, while this patch incurs a performance hit on the driver, its possible to improve performance dynamically by updating the mtu and rx_copybreak values at runtime to return performance to what it was for those NICS which are unaffected by the ideosyncracy (if there are any). Summary: A while back Eric submitted a patch for r8169 in which the proper allocated frame size was written to RXMaxSize to prevent the NIC from dmaing too much data. This was done in commit fdd7b4c3. A long time prior to that however, Francois posted 126fa4b9, which expiclitly disabled the MaxSize setting due to the fact that the hardware behaved in odd ways when overlong frames were received on NIC's supported by this driver. This was mentioned in a security conference recently: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html It seems that if we can't enable frame size filtering, then, as Eric correctly noticed, we can find ourselves DMA-ing too much data to a buffer, causing corruption. As a result is seems that we are forced to allocate a frame which is ready to handle a maximally sized receive. This obviously has performance issues with it, so to mitigate that issue, this patch does two things: 1) Raises the copybreak value to the frame allocation size, which should force appropriately sized packets to get allocated on rx, rather than a full new 16k buffer. 2) This patch only disables frame filtering initially (i.e., during the NIC open), changing the MTU results in ring buffer allocation of a size in relation to the new mtu (along with a warning indicating that this is dangerous). Because of item (2), individuals who can't cope with the performance hit (or can otherwise filter frames to prevent the bug), or who have hardware they are sure is unaffected by this issue, can manually lower the copybreak and reset the mtu such that performance is restored easily.
