This patch adds a generic driver for SJA1000 chips on the OpenFirmware platform bus found on embedded PowerPC systems. You need a SJA1000 node definition in your flattened device tree source (DTS) file similar to: can@3,100 { compatible = "nxp,sja1000"; reg = <3 0x100 0x80>; interrupts = <2 0>; interrupt-parent = <&mpic>; nxp,external-clock-frequency = <16000000>; }; See also Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/can/sja1000.txt.

This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes). I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len. The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the change is not so trivial.

[PATCH net-next] bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work properly in bridge -try4.3 (updated) changes v4.2 -> v4.3 - memcpy the address always, not just in case it differs from master->dev_addr - compare_ether_addr_64bits() is not used so there is no direct need to make new header file (I think it would be good to have bond stuff in separate file anyway). changes v4.1 -> v4.2 - use skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST compare rather then comparing skb dest addr against skb->dev->dev_addr The problem is described in following bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487763 Basically here's what's going on. In every mode, bonding interface uses the same mac address for all enslaved devices (except fail_over_mac). Only balance-alb will simultaneously use multiple MAC addresses across different slaves. When you put this kind of bond device into a bridge it will only add one of mac adresses into a hash list of mac addresses, say X. This mac address is marked as local. But this bonding interface also has mac address Y. Now then packet arrives with destination address Y, this address is not marked as local and the packed looks like it needs to be forwarded. This packet is then lost which is wrong. Notice that interfaces can be added and removed from bond while it is in bridge. *** When the multiple addresses for bridge port approach failed to solve this issue due to STP I started to think other way to solve this. I returned to previous solution but tweaked one. This patch solves the situation in the bonding without touching bridge code. For every incoming frame to bonding the destination address is compared to current address of the slave device from which tha packet came. If these two match destination address is replaced by mac address of the master. This address is known by bridge so it is delivered properly. Note that the comparsion is not made directly, it's used skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST instead. This is "set" previously in eth_type_trans(). I experimentally tried that this works as good as searching through the slave list (v4 of this patch).

wimax connection manager / daemon has to know what is current state of the device. Previously it was only possible to get notification whet state has changed. Note: By mistake, the new generic netlink's number for WIMAX_GNL_OP_STATE_GET was declared inserting into the existing list of API calls, not appending; thus, it'd break existing API.

Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware header in skb->data with the rest in frags. Since the drivers that need this optimisation all provide completely non-linear packets, we can gain extra optimisations by only performing the frag0 optimisation for completely non-linear packets. In particular, we can simply test frag0 (instead of skb_headlen) to see whether the optimisation is in force. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

We would like to get rid of netdev->trans_start = jiffies; that about all net drivers have to use in their start_xmit() function, and use txq->trans_start instead. This can be done generically in core network, as suggested by David. Some devices, (particularly loopback) dont need trans_start update, because they dont have transmit watchdog. We could add a new device flag, or rely on fact that txq->tran_start can be updated is txq->xmit_lock_owner is different than -1. Use a helper function to hide our choice.

Patch to add the ability to detect drops in hardware interfaces via dropwatch. Adds a tracepoint to net_rx_action to signal everytime a napi instance is polled.

One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks. But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for free. We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start. Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind) Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page.
