* bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()Moni Shoua2009-09-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses. This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks: *. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat) and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. *. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing table, which might be unnecessary. The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

Fixed up trivial conflicts: - arch/x86/include/asm/socket.h converted to <asm-generic/socket.h> in the x86 tree. The generic header has the same new #define's, so that works out fine. - drivers/net/tun.c fix conflict between 89f56d1e9 ("tun: reuse struct sock fields") that switched over to using 'tun->socket.sk' instead of the redundantly available (and thus removed) 'tun->sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun->sk' use.

| * net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_apiPatrick McHardy2009-09-061-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from a few problems: - with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion. - all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a shared qdisc has been attached. - Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete. This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first (non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | from a specified file. This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool. The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image using the request firmware path. The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option. It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool, to the region to be flashed. The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was recently pointed out to me that the last_rx field of the net_device structure wasn't updated regularly. In fact only the bonding driver really uses it currently. Since the drop_monitor code relies on the last_rx field to detect drops on recevie in hardware, We need to find a more reliable way to rate limit our drop checks (so that we don't check for drops on every frame recevied, which would be inefficient. This patch makes a last_rx timestamp that is private to the drop monitor code and is updated for every device that we track. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In most cases, the skb that is enqueue'd is the same one that is dequeue'd (unless the queue gets stopped or multiple cpu's write to the same queue and ends in a race with qdisc_run). For default qdiscs, we can remove the redundant enqueue/dequeue and simply xmit the skb since the default qdisc is work-conserving. The patch uses a new flag - TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to identify the default fast queue. The controversial part of the patch is incrementing qlen when a skb is requeued - this is to avoid checks like the second line below: + } else if ((q->flags & TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS) && !qdisc_qlen(q) && >> !q->gso_skb && + !test_and_set_bit(__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING, &q->state)) { Results of a 2 hour testing for multiple netperf sessions (1, 2, 4, 8, 12 sessions on a 4 cpu system-X).

Therefore, let's move it to net_namespace.c and export it. We can't make it a static inline in the !NETNS case because it needs to verify that the given pid even exists (and return -ESRCH).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All we need to take care of is using proper RCU list add/del primitives and inserting a synchronize_rcu() at one place to make sure the exit notifiers are run after everybody has stopped iterating the list.

| * | | | | | netpoll: Introduce netpoll_carrier_timeout kernel optionAnton Vorontsov2009-07-081-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some PHYs require longer timeouts for carrier detection, and auto-negotiation process may take indefinite amount of time. It may be inconvenient to force longer timeouts for sane PHYs, so let's introduce a kernel command line option. Since we're using module_param(), the option also can be changed in runtime.

Additionally code that assumed the symbolic value of NETDEV_TX_OK to be zero is changed to explicitly use NETDEV_TX_OK. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
