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.

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.

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.

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 Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

I had some time to think about PCI assign issues in 2.6.13-rc series. The major problem here is that we call pci_assign_unassigned_resources() way too early - at subsys_initcall level. Therefore we give no chances to ACPI and PnP routines (called at fs_initcall level) to reserve their respective resources properly, as the comments in drivers/pnp/system.c and drivers/acpi/motherboard.c suggest: /** * Reserve motherboard resources after PCI claim BARs, * but before PCI assign resources for uninitialized PCI devices */ So I moved the pci_assign_unassigned_resources() call to pcibios_assign_resources() (fs_initcall), which should hopefully fix a lot of problems and make PCIBIOS_MIN_IO tweaks unnecessary. Other changes: - remove resource assignment code from pcibios_assign_resources(), since it duplicates pci_assign_unassigned_resources() functionality and actually does nothing in 2.6.13; - modify ROM assignment code as per Ben's suggestion: try to use firmware settings by default (if PCI_ASSIGN_ROMS is not set); - set CARDBUS_IO_SIZE back to 4K as it's a wonderful stress test for various setups. Confirmed by Tero Roponen <teanropo@cc.jyu.fi> (who had problems with the 4kB CardBus IO size previously). Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Update version and add 4 minor fixes, the last 2 were suggested by Jeff Garzik: 1. check for a valid ethernet address before setting it 2. zero out bp->regview if init_one encounters an error and unmaps the IO address. This prevents remove_one from unmapping again. 3. use netif_rx_schedule() instead of hand coding the same. 4. use IRQ_HANDLED and IRQ_NONE.

This speeds up link-up time on 5706 SerDes if the link partner does not autoneg, a rather common scenario in blade servers. Some blade servers use IPMI for keyboard input and it's important to minimize link disruptions. The speedup is achieved by shortening the timer to (HZ / 3) during the transient period right after initiating a SerDes autoneg. If autoneg does not complete, parallel detect can be done sooner. After the transient period is over, the timer goes back to its normal HZ interval. As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the timer initialization is moved to bnx2_init_board() from bnx2_open(). An eeprom bit is also added to allow default forced SerDes speed for even faster link-up time. Signed-off-by: NMichael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This fixes an rtnl deadlock problem when flush_scheduled_work() is called from bnx2_close(). In rare cases, linkwatch_event() may be on the workqueue from a previous close of a different device and it will try to get the rtnl lock which is already held by dev_close(). The fix is to set a flag if we are in the reset task which is run from the workqueue. bnx2_close() will loop until the flag is cleared. As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the loop is changed to call msleep(1) instead of yield() in the original patch. flush_scheduled_work() is also moved to bnx2_remove_one() before the netdev is freed.

This patch adds the new workaround for 5703 A1/A2 if it is behind certain ICH bridges. The workaround disables memory and uses config. cycles only to access all registers. The 5702/03 chips can mistakenly decode the special cycles from the ICH chipsets as memory write cycles, causing corruption of register and memory space. Only certain ICH bridges will drive special cycles with non-zero data during the address phase which can fall within the 5703's address range. This is not an ICH bug as the PCI spec allows non-zero address during special cycles. However, only these ICH bridges are known to drive non-zero addresses during special cycles. The indirect_lock is also changed to spin_lock_irqsave from spin_lock_bh because it is used in irq handler when using the indirect method to disable interrupts.

This patch adds the basic function pointers to do register accesses in the fast path. This was suggested by David Miller. The idea is that various register access methods for different hardware errata can easily be implemented with these function pointers and performance will not be degraded on chips that use normal register access methods. The various register read write macros (e.g. tw32, tr32, tw32_mailbox) are redefined to call the function pointers. Signed-off-by: NMichael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This removes the private element from skbuff, that is only used by HIPPI. Instead it uses skb->cb[] to hold the additional data that is needed in the output path from hard_header to device driver.
