      net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings calling · 4bc71cb9
      Jiri Pirko 提交于
      This patch does several things:
      - introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
        from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there.
      - dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings()
      - changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
        iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
        fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same
        problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of
        dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls.
      - introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
        so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
        are from other places.
      - use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code

      	-added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings()
      	-prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock

      [SCSI] fcoe: Fix deadlock between fip's recv_work and rtnl · 848e7d5b
      Robert Love 提交于
      The rtnl cannot be held durrng the fcoe_interface_put.
      If it is the last reference on the fcoe_interface the
      fcoe_ctlr_destroy will be called as a part of the
      cleanup, ultimately calling cancel_work_sync(&fip->recv_work);
      
      If we are processing a flogi response we will be in
      the recv_work context and we will lock the rtnl to
      add a new unicast MAC address. This is how the deadlock
      can occur.
      
      The fix is simply to move the rtnl_lock/unlock into
      fcoe_interface_cleanup so that it can be unlocked before
      fcoe_interface_put is called.
      
      Here is the lockdep report:

      ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned data · 8ae6daca
      David Decotigny 提交于
      This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
      get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
      is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
      the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
      get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
      setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).
      
      This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
      sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
      drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
      does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
      also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.
      
      All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been
      updated.

      [SCSI] libfcoe: Move common code from fcoe to libfcoe module · 8597ae8b
      Bhanu Prakash Gollapudi 提交于
      To facilitate LLDDs to reuse the code, skb queue related functions are moved to
      libfcoe, so that both fcoe and bnx2fc drivers can use them. The common structures
      fcoe_port, fcoe_percpu_s are moved to libfcoe. fcoe_port will now have an
      opaque pointer that points to corresponding driver's interface structure.
      Also, fcoe_start_io and fcoe_fc_crc are moved to libfcoe.
      
      As part of this change, fixed fcoe_start_io to return ENOMEM if
      skb_clone fails.

      [SCSI] fcoe: use dedicated workqueue instead of system_wq · 2ca32b48
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      fcoe uses the system_wq to destroy ports and the work items need to be
      flushed before the driver is unloaded.  As the work items free the
      containing data structure, they can't be flushed directly.  The
      workqueue should be flushed instead.
      
      Also, the destruction works can be chained - ie. destruction of a port
      may lead to destruction of another port where the work item for the
      former queues the work for the latter.  Currently, the depth of chain
      can be at most two and fcoe_exit() makes sure everything is complete
      by calling flush_scheduled_work() twice.
      
      With commit c8efcc25 (workqueue: allow chained queueing during
      destruction), destroy_workqueue() can take care of chained works on
      workqueue destruction.  Add and use fcoe_wq instead.  Simply
      destroying fcoe_wq on driver unload takes care of flushing.

      [SCSI] fcoe: convert fcoe.ko to become an fcoe transport provider driver · 78a58246
      Yi Zou 提交于
      Remove the existing sysfs entry points of the fcoe.ko module parameters that
      are used to create/destroy/enable/disable an FCoE instance, rather, use the
      newly added fcoe transport code to attach itself as an FCoE transport provider
      when fcoe.ko gets loaded. There is no functionality change on the logic of
      fcoe interacts with upper libfc and lower netdev. The fcoe transport only acts
      as thin layer to provide a unified interface for all fcoe transport providers
      so all FCoE instances on any network interfaces from all vendors can be
      managed through the same Open-FCoE.org's user space tool package, which also
      has full DCB support.

      Prepare the fcoe to convert it to use the newly added fcoe transport, making
      it as the default fcoe transport provider for libfcoe. This patch is to rename
      some of the variables to avoid any confusing names later as now there are

      [SCSI] fcoe: drop FCoE LOGO in FIP mode · 52ee8321
      Vasu Dev 提交于
      Allowing FCoE LOGO followed by CVL in this case prevents
      FIP login back to the FCF and then keeps lport offline,
      only FIP LOGO and CLV needs to be processed while in
      FIP mode, therefore this patch drops FCoE LOGO in FIP mode.
      
      Added fcoe_filter_frames() to filter out above mentioned LOGO
      in fcoe rx path along with other existing filtering in code
      for bad CRC frames. Adding separate fcoe_filter_frames function
      helped with better code indentations and if needed then same
      will allow adding more filters at one place in future.
      
      This LOGO drop is added after FCP frames passed up to avoid
      any additional checks on fast path for this.

      [SCSI] fcoe: Fix module reference count for vports · 7287fb91
      Robert Love 提交于
      vports are not grabbing module references but are
      releasing them. This causes the module reference count
      to decrement too many times and it wraps around past 0.
      
      The solution is to do a module_put() in
      fcoe_interface_release() so that the reference is only
      released when the fcoe_interface is released. There is a
      one-to-one relationship between the N_Port and the
      fcoe_interface, so the module reference will only be
      dropped when the N_Port is destroyed
      
      To create symetry in the code this patch moves the
      try_module_get() call into fcoe_interface_create(). This
      means that only the N_Port will grab a reference to the
      module when its corresponding fcoe_interface is created.
      
      This patch also makes it so that the fcoe_interface_create()
      routine encodes any error codes in the fcoe_interface
      pointer returned. This way its caller, fcoe_create(), can
      return an accurate error code.
