      [PATCH] iseries_veth: Replace lock-protected atomic with an ordinary variable · b08bd5c0
      由 Michael Ellerman 提交于 
      The iseries_veth driver uses atomic ops to manipulate the in_use field of
one of its per-connection structures. However all references to the
flag occur while the connection's lock is held, so the atomic ops aren't
necessary.

      [PATCH] iseries_veth: Remove redundant message stack lock · d7893ddd
      由 Michael Ellerman 提交于 
      The iseries_veth driver keeps a stack of messages for each connection
and a lock to protect the stack. However there is also a per-connection lock
which makes the message stack lock redundant.

Remove the message stack lock and document the fact that callers of the
stack-manipulation functions must hold the connection's lock.

      [PATCH] iseries_veth: Fix broken promiscuous handling · 2a5391a1
      由 Michael Ellerman 提交于 
      Due to a logic bug, once promiscuous mode is enabled in the iseries_veth
driver it is never disabled.

The driver keeps two flags, promiscuous and all_mcast which have exactly the
same effect. This is because we only ever receive packets destined for us,
or multicast packets. So consolidate them into one promiscuous flag for
simplicity.

      [PATCH] iseries_veth: Try to avoid pathological reset behaviour · 58c5900b
      由 Michael Ellerman 提交于 
      The iseries_veth driver contains a state machine which is used to manage
how connections are setup and neogotiated between LPARs.

If one side of a connection resets for some reason, the two LPARs can get
stuck in a race to re-setup the connection. This can lead to the connection
being declared dead by one or both ends. In practice the connection is
declared dead by one or both ends approximately 8/10 times a connection is
reset, although it is rare for connections to be reset.

(an example here: http://michael.ellerman.id.au/files/misc/veth-trace.html)

The core of the problem is that the end that resets the connection doesn't
wait for the other end to become aware of the reset. So the resetting end
starts setting the connection back up, and then receives a reset from the
other end (which is the response to the initial reset). And so on.

We're severely limited in what we can do to fix this. The protocol between
LPARs is essentially fixed, as we have to interoperate with both OS/400
and old Linux drivers. Which also means we need a fix that only changes the
code on one end.

The only fix I've found given that, is to just blindly sleep for a bit when
resetting the connection, in the hope that the other end will get itself
sorted.  Needless to say I'd love it if someone has a better idea.

This does work, I've so far been unable to get it to break, whereas without
the fix a reset of one end will lead to a dead connection ~8/10 times.

      [PATCH] iseries_veth: Remove a FIXME WRT deletion of the ack_timer · abfda471
      由 Michael Ellerman 提交于 
      The iseries_veth driver has a timer which we use to send acks. When the
connection is reset or stopped we need to delete the timer.

Currently we only call del_timer() when resetting a connection, which means
the timer might run again while the connection is being re-setup. As it turns
out that's ok, because the flags the timer consults have been reset.

It's cleaner though to call del_timer_sync() once we've dropped the lock,
although the timer may still run between us dropping the lock and calling
del_timer_sync(), but as above that's ok.

      [PATCH] iseries_veth: Cleanup error and debug messages · 61a3c696
      由 Michael Ellerman 提交于 
      Currently the iseries_veth driver prints the file name and line number in its
error messages. This isn't very useful for most users, so just print
"iseries_veth: message" instead.

 - convert uses of veth_printk() to veth_debug()/veth_error()/veth_info()
 - make terminology consistent, ie. always refer to LPAR not lpar
 - be consistent about printing return codes as %d not %x
 - make format strings fit in 80 columns
