      net: export device speed and duplex via sysfs · d519e17e
      Andy Gospodarek authored 
      This patch exports the link-speed (in Mbps) and duplex of an interface
via sysfs.  This eliminates the need to use ethtool just to check the
link-speed.  Not requiring 'ethtool' and not relying on the SIOCETHTOOL
ioctl should be helpful in an embedded environment where space is at a
premium as well.

NOTE: This patch also intentionally allows non-root users to check the link
speed and duplex -- something not possible with ethtool.

Here's some sample output:

# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed
100
# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/duplex
half
# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP ]

      cfg80211: assign device type in netdev notifier callback · 053a93dd
      Marcel Holtmann authored 
      Instead of having to modify every non-mac80211 for device type assignment,
do this inside the netdev notifier callback of cfg80211. So all drivers
that integrate with cfg80211 will export a proper device type.

      net: introduce NETDEV_POST_INIT notifier · 7ffbe3fd
      Johannes Berg authored 
      For various purposes including a wireless extensions
bugfix, we need to hook into the netdev creation before
before netdev_register_kobject(). This will also ease
doing the dev type assignment that Marcel was working
on for cfg80211 drivers w/o touching them all.

      usbnet: Set device type for wlan and wwan devices · 225794f8
      Marcel Holtmann authored 
      For usbnet devices with FLAG_WLAN and FLAG_WWAN set the proper device
type so that uevent contains the correct value. This then allows an easy
identification of the actual underlying technology of the Ethernet device.

      tunnels: Optimize tx path · 0bfbedb1
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      We currently dirty a cache line to update tunnel device stats
(tx_packets/tx_bytes). We better use the txq->tx_bytes/tx_packets
counters that already are present in cpu cache, in the cache
line shared with txq->_xmit_lock

This patch extends IPTUNNEL_XMIT() macro to use txq pointer
provided by the caller.

Also &tunnel->dev->stats can be replaced by &dev->stats

      ipv4: fib table algorithm performance improvement · 16c6cf8b
      Stephen Hemminger authored

the overhead of function call indirection at runtime. Save some
cycles by turning the indirect calls to direct calls to either

      af_packet: add interframe drop cmsg (v6) · 97775007
      Neil Horman authored 
      Add Ancilliary data to better represent loss information

I've had a few requests recently to provide more detail regarding frame loss
during an AF_PACKET packet capture session.  Specifically the requestors want to
see where in a packet sequence frames were lost, i.e. they want to see that 40
frames were lost between frames 302 and 303 in a packet capture file.  In order
to do this we need:

1) The kernel to export this data to user space
2) The applications to make use of it

This patch addresses item (1).  It does this by doing the following:

A) Anytime we drop a frame for which we would increment po->stats.tp_drops, we
also no increment a stats called po->stats.tp_gap.

B) Every time we successfully enqueue a frame to sk_receive_queue, we record the
value of po->stats.tp_gap in skb->mark.  skb->cb would nominally be the place to
record this, but since all the space there is used up, we're overloading
skb->mark.  Its safe to do since any enqueued packet is guaranteed to be
unshared at this point, and skb->mark isn't used for anything else in the rx
path to the application.  After we record tp_gap in the skb, we zero
po->stats.tp_gap.  This allows us to keep a counter of the number of frames lost
between any two enqueued packets

C) When the application goes to dequeue a frame from the packet socket, we look
at skb->mark for that frame.  If it is non-zero, we add a cmsg chunk to the
msghdr of level SOL_PACKET and type PACKET_GAPDATA.  Its a 32 bit integer that
represents the number of frames lost between this packet and the last previous
frame received.

Note there is a chance that if there is frame loss after a receive, and then the
socket is closed, some gap data might be lost.  This is covered by the use of
the PACKET_AUXDATA socket option, which gives total loss data.  With a bit of
math, the final gap can be determined that way.

I've tested this patch myself, and it works well.
