Bonding device forbids slave device of different types under the same master. However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its lifetime. This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND or the other way arround. The change of type requires device level multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses depend on the device type. The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes type and dev_open() just after that. In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved. This is how /proc/net/dev_mcast looks like without the patch 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 5 bond0 1 0 01005e000116 5 bond0 1 0 01005e7ffffd 5 bond0 1 0 01005e000001 5 bond0 1 0 333300000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 6 ib0 1 0 333300000001 6 ib0 1 0 01005e000001 6 ib0 1 0 01005e7ffffd 6 ib0 1 0 01005e000116 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 and this is how it looks like after the patch. 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff0000000000000ffffffd 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000116 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000116 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff0000000000000ffffffd 6 ib0 2 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 2 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 Signed-off-by: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric Dumazet authored
When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless readers. In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Some sockets use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, and our RCU code correctness depends on sk->sk_nulls_node.next being always valid. A NULL value is not allowed as it might fault a lockless reader. Current sk_prot_alloc() implementation doesnt respect this hypothesis, calling kmem_cache_alloc() with __GFP_ZERO. Just call memset() around the forbidden field.

Commit c3a8c5b6 ("cxgb3: move away from LLTX") exposed a bug in how cxgb3 looks up the netdev_queue it stashes away in a qset during initialization. For multiport devices, the TX queue index it uses is offset by the first_qset index of each port. This leads to a crash once LLTX is removed, since hard_start_xmit is called with one TX queue lock held, while the TX reclaim timer task grabs a different (wrong) TX queue lock when it frees skbs. Fix this by removing the first_qset offset used to look up the TX queue passed into t3_sge_alloc_qset() from setup_sge_qsets().

Fix coexistence of Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Flow Director (FDIR) in 82599 and remove the disabling of FDIR when FCoE is enabled. Currently, FDIR is turned off when FCoE is enabled under the assumption that FCoE is always enabled with DCB being turned on. However, FDIR does not have to be turned off all the time when FCoE is enabled since FCoE can be enabled without DCB being turned on, e.g., use link pause only. This patch makes sure that when DCB is turned on or off, FDIR is turned on or off correspondingly; and when FCoE is enabled, it does not disable FDIR, rather, it will have FDIR set up properly so FCoE and FDIR can coexist regardless of DCB being on or off.

Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper to wrap the memory barrier. Without the memory barrier, following race can happen. The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches. CPU1 CPU2 sys_select receive packet ... ... __add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt ... ... tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable ... { schedule ... if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep)) wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep) ... } If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and rcv_nxt are opposit to each other. Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask. In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1. The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the socket. Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited: net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c net/irda/af_irda.c net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c net/phonet/socket.c net/rds/af_rds.c net/rfkill/core.c net/sunrpc/cache.c net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c net/tipc/socket.c Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Using early netconsole and gianfar driver this error pops up: netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier It appears that net/core/netpoll.c:netpoll_setup() is using cond_resched() in a loop waiting for a carrier. The thing is that cond_resched() is a no-op when system_state != SYSTEM_RUNNING, and so drivers/net/phy/phy.c's state_queue is never scheduled, therefore link detection doesn't work. I belive that the main problem is in cond_resched()[1], but despite how the cond_resched() story ends, it might be a good idea to call msleep(1) instead of cond_resched(), as suggested by Andrew Morton.

Atheros top level menu needs a "depends WLAN_80211" to properly indent within menuconfig and xconfig interfaces. This is purely a visual issue but it effects all subsequent drivers. The issue is the top level menu does not include a dependency on WLAN_80211 so within the tree structure, Atheros is at the same level as WLAN_80211 but when WLAN_80211 collapsed, the menu disappears along with all subsequent drives, so it is really a subordinate.

When the r6040 device IRQ line is shared we will enter the driver interrupt service routine, mask off the device interrupt enable register (MIER) and return with IRQ_NONE, we would then leave the device with interrupts disabled, this patch fixes that issue.

It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost of a minimally longer searching. This patch restores values before the patch "[IPV4]: fib_trie root node settings", commit: 965ffea4 from v2.6.22. Pawel's report: <blockquote> I dont see any big change of (cpu load or faster/slower routing/propagating routes from bgpd or something else) - in avg there is from 2% to 3% more of CPU load i dont know why but it is - i change from "preempt" to "no preempt" 3 times and check this my "mpstat -P ALL 1 30" always avg cpu load was from 2 to 3% more compared to "no preempt" [...] cat /proc/net/fib_triestat Basic info: size of leaf: 20 bytes, size of tnode: 36 bytes.

So, until memory handling is improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this patch resets to safer defaults.

Check that network interface is running before changing its MAC address. Otherwise, rxch is accessed when it's NULL - causing a kernel oops. Moreover, check that the new MAC address is valid.
