Use ESIC's memory area 1 (MEMCS1) and its Memory Address High Compare and Memory Address Low Compare registers to set up the MMIO range for decoding accesses to PDQ ASIC registers. Previously the PDQ ASIC was thought to be addressable with the memory area 0 (MEMCS0) and its Memory Address Compare and Memory Address Mask registers. The MMIO range allocated for the option card is preset via ECU (EISA Configuration Utility) and can be disabled, so handle such a case gracefully too. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Commit a6111d3c "vlan: Pass SIOC[SG]HWTSTAMP ioctls to real device" intended to enable hardware time stamping on VLAN interfaces, but passing SIOCSHWTSTAMP is only half of the story. This patch adds the second half, by letting user space find out the time stamping capabilities of the device backing a VLAN interface.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-11-20 This series contains updates to ixgbevf, i40e and i40evf. Emil updates ixgbevf with much of the work that Alex Duyck did while at Intel. First updates the driver to clear the status bits on allocation instead of in the cleanup routine, this way we can leave the recieve descriptor rings as a read only memory block until we actually have buffers to give back to the hardware. Clean up ixgbevf_clean_rx_irq() by creating ixgbevf_process_skb_field() to merge several similar operations into this new function. Cleanup temporary variables within the receive hot-path and reducing the scope of variables that do not need to exist outside the main loop. Save on stack space by just storing our updated values back in next_to_clean instead of using a stack variable, which also collapses the size the function. Improve performace on IOMMU enabled systems and reduce cache misses by changing the basic receive patch for ixgbevf so that instead of receiving the data into an skb, it is received into a double buffered page. Add netpoll support by creating ixgbevf_netpoll(), which is a callback for .ndo_poll_controller to allow for the VF interface to be used with netconsole. Mitch provides several cleanups and trivial fixes for i40e and i40evf. First is a fix the overloading of the msg_size field in the arq_event_info struct by splitting the field into two and renaming to indicate the actual function of each field. Updates code comments to match the actual function. Cleanup several checkpatch.pl warnings by adding or removing blank lines, aligning function parameters, and correcting over-long lines (which makes the code more readable). Shannon provides a patch for i40e to write the extra bits that will turn off the ITR wait for the interrupt, since we want the SW INT to go off as soon as possible. v2: updated patch 07 based on feedback from Alex Duyck by - adding pfmemalloc check to a new function for reusable page - moved atomic_inc outside of #if/else in ixgbevf_add_rx_frag() - reverted the removal of the API check in ixgbevf_change_mtu() ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

If the Tx engine is told to stop while it is actively processing Tx descriptors it is possible that the Tx descriptor(s) will not be closed out properly. When the Tx engine is restarted this could result in the driver being stuck on the improperly closed descriptor. Update the driver to wait for the Tx engine to be in a stopped or suspended state before issuing the stop command. This has not been an issue to date, but it's a good safe-guard to have.

Richard Alpe says: ==================== tipc: new netlink API v3 The old API is not removed. The new API is separated from the old because of a bug in the old tipc-config utility using it. When adding commands to the existing genl_ops struct the get-family response message grows to a point where it overflows the small receive buffer in tipc-config, subsequently breaking the tool. Hence the two genl_family and genl_ops structs. The new headers are placed in a new file called tipc_netlink.h rather than added to tipc_config.h as they where in previous versions of this patchset. /v3 v2 Redesigned "socket list command" to address David Millers comments in net-next v1 of this patchset. Simply put the problem is that we can have an arbitrary amount of sockets with an arbitrary amount of associated publications. In the previous patchset this was solved by nesting as many publications as possible into a socket. If all didn't fit it sent the same socket again with the remaining publications. As David Miller pointed out this makes each message malformed as the receiver cannot by the data itself know if it has received a complete set or not. This was flagged outside of the data and the client did the reassembly. o socket 1 o publ 1 o publ 2 o socket 1 o publ 3 o publ 4 In this patchset this is divided into socket listing and publication listing to avoid having nested data of arbitrary size. TIPC_NL_SOCK_GET now dumps all sockets with any nested connection information. However, it no longer include publication information, only a HAS_PUBL flag to indicate whether the socket has publications or not. To compliment this there is a new command TIPC_NL_PUBL_GET which takes a socket as argument and dumps all associated publications. This means that on "top-level" the data is always complete. In the case of "tipc socket list" (new tipc-config -p) it first queries all sockets with TIPC_NL_SOCK_GET and if the socket is published it fetches the publications using TIPC_NL_PUBL_GET. This is slow for large amount of sockets with a low publication count (worst case). However, the integrity is preserved and there is no malformed messages. /v2 This is a new netlink API for TIPC. It's intended to replace the existing ASCII API. It utilizes many of the standard netlink functionalities in the kernel, such as attribute nesting and input polices. There are a couple of reasons for this rewrite. The main and most easily justifiable is that the existing API doesn't scale. Meaning that a TIPC cluster with a larger amount of nodes, publications or ports will rapidly exceed what the exiting API can handle. Resulting in truncated or corrupt responses. In addition to this, the existing ASCII API rarely uses "standard" kernel functions and has several tipc specific functions for sanity checking and string formating. The new API utilizes standard function for pushing data to socket buffers and netlink attribute nesting to logically group data. The new API can handle an arbitrary amount of data for things that are likely to scale up as the TIPC usage and/or cluster size increases. A new user-space tool has been developed to work with this new API. It is called "tipc" and is part of the "tipc-utils" package that comes with many Linux distributions. The new "tipc" tool utilizes standard functions from libnl to format, send, receive and process messages. The tool has borrowed design philosophies from git and the ip tool. Making the syntax resemble that of ip whiles its strong modularity resembles that of git. The existing tool for managing TIPC, "tipc-config" remains in the package, but when built for kernels that has this new API it is replaced by a script-based wrapper that maps the old syntax to the new tool. This way, backwards compatibility is mostly preserved. MORE ABOUT THE CODE The main challenge here is to handle the case where the data is of arbitrary size. This was largely neglected in the old API design. For example when there is a lot of sockets that has a large amount of associated publications. In this specific case we can't assume that all ports nor for that matter all the publications can fit inside a single netlink message. Sending everything in one batch isn't an option as we need to yield for the socket layer to cope. This is solved by using the standard netlink callback for dumping data and releasing the locks when the netlink message is full. The dumping mechanism gets us back and we keep a reference (logical) to where we where when the message became full. This means that we are not "atomic", what is retrieved by user-space isn't a snapshot at a certain time but rather a continuously updated data set. In the case where we can't find our way back i.e. our logical reference are gone we set a standard flag (NLM_F_DUMP_INTR) to tell user-space that the dump was interrupted. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

A new netlink API for tipc that can disable or enable a tipc bearer. The new API is separated from the old API because of a bug in the user space client (tipc-config). The problem is that older versions of tipc-config has a very low receive limit and adding commands to the legacy genl_opts struct causes the ctrl_getfamily() response message to grow, subsequently breaking the tool. The new API utilizes netlink policies for input validation. Where the top-level netlink attributes are tipc-logical entities, like bearer. The top level entities then contain nested attributes. In this case a name, nested link properties and a domain.

It's just silly to hold the skb destructor argument around inside skb->cb[] as we currently do in SCTP. Nowadays, we're sort of cheating on data accounting in the sense that due to commit 4c3a5bda ("sctp: Don't charge for data in sndbuf again when transmitting packet"), we orphan the skb already in the SCTP output path, i.e. giving back charged data memory, and use a different destructor only to make sure the sk doesn't vanish on skb destruction time. Thus, cb[] is still valid here as we operate within the SCTP layer. (It's generally actually a big candidate for future rework, imho.) However, storing the destructor in the cb[] can easily cause issues should an non sctp_packet_set_owner_w()'ed skb ever escape the SCTP layer, since cb[] may get overwritten by lower layers and thus can corrupt the chunk pointer. There are no such issues at present, but lets keep the chunk in destructor_arg, as this is the actual purpose for it.
