Under load, netif_rx() can drop incoming packets but administrators dont have a chance to spot which device needs some tuning (RPS activation for example) This patch adds rx_dropped accounting in vlans and tunnels.

Related dicussion here : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/3/16 Introduce a function br_parse_ip_options that will audit the skb and possibly refill IP options before a packet enters the IP stack. If no options are present, the function will zero out the skb cb area so that it is not misinterpreted as options by some unsuspecting IP layer routine. If packet consistency fails, drop it.

This is basically just a cleanup. IRQs were disabled on the previous line so we don't need to do it again here. In the current code IRQs would get turned on one line earlier than intended. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The ethtool utility does not set masks for flow parameters that are not specified, so if both value and mask are 0 then this must be treated as equivalent to a mask with all bits set. Currently that is done in the only driver that implements RX n-tuple filtering, ixgbe. Move it to the ethtool core. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

previously, if a vlan master device was moved from one network namespace to another, all 802.1q and macvlan slaves were deleted. we can use dev->reg_state to figure out whether dev_change_net_namespace is happening, since that won't set dev->reg_state NETREG_UNREGISTERING. so, this changes 8021q and macvlan to ignore NETDEV_UNREGISTER when reg_state is not NETREG_UNREGISTERING.

The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic for handling the checksum offloading. This was designed according to the chips included in the STM platforms where: o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all. o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE. This is not good for other chip configurations where, for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW or when the GMAC has no IPC. Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the GMAC devices. This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW. Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this. In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to limited buffer sizes). This information is also passed through the driver's platform structure.

This was previously reported as a security issue due to leakage of uninitialized stack memory. Jeff Mahoney pointed out that this is incorrect since the copied data is from a union (rather than a struct). Therefore, this patch is only under consideration for the sake of correctness, and is not security relevant.

commit ab95bfe0 (net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb) added rx_handler at wrong place, between two cache line aligned objects, creating a big hole (a full cache line) Move rx_handler and rx_handler_data before rx_queue, filling existing hole. Move master field in the cache line(s) used in receive path. This saves 64 bytes (or L1_CACHE_BYTES), and avoids two possible cache misses in receive path.

As RTNL is held while doing tunnels inserts and deletes, we can remove ip6_tnl_lock spinlock.

Currently vlan devices don't have GRO by default as none of the Ethernet drivers add NETIF_F_GRO to their vlan_features. As GRO is a software feature add GRO to dev->vlan_features in register_netdevice() and let vlan_dev_init() take care that it gets enabled only when dev->features has NETIF_F_GRO too.
