e1000e (and e1000, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of operations each time a multicast address is added. The flow goes something like 1) stack adds one multicast address 2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast addresses to driver 3) driver clears entire list in hardware 4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the reprogramming process. reference with test program: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2009/3/14/5160514/thread Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program. This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and programs it in one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase" cycle. It would still be possible for packets to be dropped while the receiver is off during reprogramming.

This patch renames the ebt_ulog nf_logger from "ulog" to "ebt_ulog" to be in sync with other modules naming. As this name was currently only used for informational purpose, the renaming should be harmless. Signed-off-by: Eric Leblond <eric@inl.fr> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The ebt_ulog module does not follow the fixed convention about function return. Loading the module is triggering the following message: sys_init_module: 'ebt_ulog'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention sys_init_module: loading module anyway...

this is in regards to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12876 where it appears that e1000 can leave its interrupt enabled after exiting the driver. Fix the bug by making the interrupt enable paths more aware of the driver exiting. Thanks to Alan Cox for the poke and initial investigation.

I've hit an issue on my system when I've been using RealTek RTL8139D cards in bonding interface in mode balancing-alb. When I enslave a card, the current active slave (bond->curr_active_slave) is not set and the link is therefore not functional. ---- # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.5.0 (November 4, 2008) Bonding Mode: adaptive load balancing Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: None MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth1 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:1f:1f:01:2f:22 ---- The thing that gets it right is when I unplug the cable and then I put it back into the NIC. Then the current active slave is set to eth1 and link is working just fine. Here is dmesg log with bonding DEBUG messages turned on: ---- ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): bond0: link is not ready event_dev: bond0, event: 1 IFF_MASTER event_dev: bond0, event: 8 IFF_MASTER bond_ioctl: master=bond0, cmd=35216 slave_dev=cac5d800: slave_dev->name=eth1: eth1: !

I also tested this on other machine with Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T NIC and there all works fine. The thing is that this adapter is down and goes up after few seconds after it is enslaved. This patch calls bond_select_active_slave() in bond_enslave() function for modes alb and tlb and makes sure that the current active slave is set up properly even when the slave state is already up. Tested on both systems, works fine. Notice: The same problem can maybe also occrur in mode 8023AD but I'm unable to test that. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Binding to a v4-mapped address on an AF_INET6 socket should produce the same result as binding to an IPv4 address on AF_INET socket.

The IPv4 wildcard (0.0.0.0) address does not intersect in any way with explicit IPv6 addresses. These two should be permitted, but the IPv4 conflict code checks the ipv6only bit as part of the test. Since binding to an explicit IPv6 address restricts the socket to only that IPv6 address, the side-effect is that the socket behaves as v6-only. By explicitely setting ipv6only in this case, allows the 2 binds to succeed. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving ENOBUFS errors. Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things to the listener: a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt(). b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync. In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example: a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a given buffer size. b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization). Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down" effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following: 1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the receiver buffer. 2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0). 3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down. 4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state bit 0 is set off), goto step 1. This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer. You can find some results in [1] that show this problem. [1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/ This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in /proc/net/netlink.
