| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a fixed up version of the reorder feature of netem. It is the same as the earlier patch plus with the bugfix from Julio merged in. Has expected backwards compatibility behaviour. Go ahead and merge this one, the TCP strangeness I was seeing was due to the reordering bug, and previous version of TSO patch.

| | * [PKT_SCHED] netem: use only inner qdisc -- no private skbuff queueStephen Hemminger2005-05-261-88/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Netem works better if there if packets are just queued in the inner discipline rather than having a separate delayed queue. Change to use the dequeue/requeue to peek like TBF does. By doing this potential qlen problems with the old method are avoided. The problems happened when the netem_run that moved packets from the inner discipline to the nested discipline failed (because inner queue was full). This happened in dequeue, so the effective qlen of the netem would be decreased (because of the drop), but there was no way to keep the outer qdisc (caller of netem dequeue) in sync. The problem window is still there since this patch doesn't address the issue of requeue failing in netem_dequeue, but that shouldn't happen since the sequence dequeue/requeue should always work. Long term correct fix is to implement qdisc->peek in all the qdisc's to allow for this (needed by several other qdisc's as well).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Handle duplication of packets in netem by re-inserting at top of qdisc tree. This avoid problems with qlen accounting with nested qdisc. This recursion requires no additional locking but will potentially increase stack depth. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | * | [PATCH] fix PROMISC/bridging in TLAN driverJames Harper2005-05-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has been a problem for me for ages. When using bridging, the driver is switched into promiscuous mode before the link init is complete. The init complete routine then resets the promisc bit on the card so the kernel still thinks the card is in promiscuous mode but the card isn't. doh. I think this bug only shows up in bridging when the bridge is started at boot time (or something else that sets promisc at the same time the card was started). If promisc is enabled later it works. Here's a trivial (and hopefully correct) patch that works for me. It just calls the promisc/multicast setup routine after init.

This causes the unregister_netdevice code to wait forever when we try to take the device down, because there's still skbs around with references to our struct net_device. There's already code to cleanup any un-ACK'ed packets in veth_stop_connection() but it's being called after we unregister the net_device, which is too late. The fix is to rearrange the module exit function so that we cleanup any outstanding skbs and then unregister the driver. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>

This usually isn't a big problem because the Hypervisor call fails gracefully and we return, but if packets are TX'ed during the negotiation of the connection bad things might happen. Regardless, the right thing is to bail early if we know there's no connection. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>

From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com> There is a race between lcs_stopcard() and lcs_open_device() which can lead to the error 'lcs: Error in starting channel, rc=-16'. lcs_open_device() is invoked when 'ifconfig up' is called due to a hotplug event, which is caused by register_netdev().

It also fixes the values used to determine signal quality and level for MPI & PCMCIA 350 cards. It turns out that BSSListRid.rssi was actually in dBm for 350 series cards, and that we can use the normalized signal strength reported by the card as our "quality" value, on a scale of 0 - 100. Since signal level values are in dBm for this driver, max_qual->level MUST be 0, as specified in the WEXT spec. This patch also uses the IW_QUAL constants new in WEXT version 17.

I checked the <asm-ppc64/scatterlish.h>, the struct scatterlist is defined as: struct scatterlist { struct page *page; unsigned int offset; unsigned int length; /* For TCE support */ u32 dma_address; u32 dma_length; }; #define sg_dma_address(sg) ((sg)->dma_address) #define sg_dma_len(sg) ((sg)->dma_length) So, if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped, sg_dma_len() will return zero on ppc64. The same problem should occur on the x86-64 platform. On the i386 platform, sg_dma_len() returns sg->length, that's why the problem does not occur on an i386. Changes: - Use sg->length if the scatterlist is not DMA mapped (yet). Signed-off-by: Albert Lee <albertcc@tw.ibm.com>

This cause the drive to be skipped during the booting phase and not begin usable until the next reboot (if the reboot goes well and the drive doesn't timeout again). Solution: Rising the timeout time from 10 seconds to 35 seconds (during these 35 seconds every drive should wake up for sure according to the tests I've done).

| * | | | [PATCH] ide-scsi: kmap scatter/gather before doing PIO Stuart Hayes2005-05-261-4/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Stuart Hayes <Stuart_Hayes@dell.com> The system can panic with a null pointer dereference using ide-scsi if PIO is being done on scatter gather pages that are in high memory, because page_address() returns 0. We are actually seeing this using a tape drive. This patch will kmap_atomic() the pages before performing PIO. Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@elka.pw.edu.pl>
