      cdc_ether: Improve ZTE MF823/831/910 handling · bfe9b9d2
      Kristian Evensen 提交于
      The firmware in several ZTE devices (at least the MF823/831/910
      modems/mifis) use OS fingerprinting to determine which type of device to
      export. In addition, these devices export a REST API which can be used to
      control the type of device. So far, on Linux, the devices have been seen as
      RNDIS or CDC Ether.
      
      When CDC Ether is used, devices of the same type are, as with RNDIS,
      exported with the same, bogus random MAC address. In addition, the devices
      (at least on all firmware revisions I have found) use the bogus MAC when
      sending traffic routed from external networks. And as a final feature, the
      devices sometimes export the link state incorrectly. There are also
      references online to several other ZTE devices displaying this behavior,
      with several different PIDs and MAC addresses.
      
      This patch tries to improve the handling of ZTE devices by doing the
      following:
      
      * Create a new driver_info-struct that is used by ZTE devices that do not
      have an explicit entry in the product table. This struct is the same as the
      default cdc_ether driver info, but a new bind- and an rx_fixup-function
      have been added.
      
      * In the new bind function, we check if we have read a random MAC from the
      device. If we have, then we generate a new random MAC address. This will
      ensure that all devices get a unique MAC.
      
      * The rx_fixup-function replaces the destination MAC address in the skb
      with that of the device. I have not seen a revision of these devices that
      behaves correctly (i.e., sets the right destination MAC), so I chose not to
      do any comparison with for example the known, bogus addresses.
      
      * The MF823/MF832/MF910 sometimes export cdc carrier on twice on connect
      (the correct behavior is off then on). Work around this by manually setting
      carrier to off if an on-notification is received and the NOCARRIER-bit is
      not set.
      
      This change will affect all devices, but it should take care of similar
      mistakes made by other manufacturers. I tried to think of/look/test for
      problems/regressions that could be introduced by this behavior, but could
      not find any. However, my familiarity with this code path is not that
      great, so there could be something I have overlooked.
      
      I have tested this patch with multiple revisions of all three devices, and
      they behave as expected. In other words, they all got a valid, random MAC,
      the correct operational state and I can receive/sent traffic without
      problems. I also tested with some other cdc_ether devices I have and did
      not find any problems/regressions caused by the two general changes.
      
      v3->v4:
      * Forgot to remove unused variables, sorry about that (thanks David
      Miller).
      
      v2->v3:
      * I had forgot to remove the random MAC generation from usbnet_cdc_bind()
      (thanks Oliver).
      * Rework logic in the ZTE bind-function a bit.
      
      v1->v2:
      * Only generate random MAC for ZTE devices (thanks Oliver Neukum).
      * Set random MAC and do RX fixup for all ZTE devices that do not have a
      product-entry, as the bogus MAC have been seen on devices with several
      different PIDs/MAC addresses. In other words, it seems to be the default
      behavior of ZTE CDC Ether devices (thanks Lars Melin).

      asix: Fix offset calculation in asix_rx_fixup() causing slow transmissions · cd9e2e5d
      John Stultz 提交于
      In testing with HiKey, we found that since
      commit 3f30b158 ("asix: On RX avoid creating bad Ethernet
      frames"),
      we're seeing lots of noise during network transfers:
      
      [  239.027993] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988
      [  239.037310] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x54ebb5ec, offset 4
      [  239.045519] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0xcdffe7a2, offset 4
      [  239.275044] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988
      [  239.284355] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x1d36f59d, offset 4
      [  239.292541] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0xaef3c1e9, offset 4
      [  239.518996] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988
      [  239.528300] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x2881912, offset 4
      [  239.536413] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x5638f7e2, offset 4
      
      And network throughput ends up being pretty bursty and slow with
      a overall throughput of at best ~30kB/s (where as previously we
      got 1.1MB/s with the slower USB1.1 "full speed" host).
      
      We found the issue also was reproducible on a x86_64 system,
      using a "high-speed" USB2.0 port but the throughput did not
      measurably drop (possibly due to the scp transfer being cpu
      bound on my slow test hardware).
      
      After lots of debugging, I found the check added in the
      problematic commit seems to be calculating the offset
      incorrectly.
      
      In the normal case, in the main loop of the function, we do:
      (where offset is zero, or set to "offset += (copy_length + 1) &
      0xfffe" in the previous loop)
          rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data +
                                          offset);
          offset += sizeof(u32);
      
      But the problematic patch calculates:
          offset = ((rx->remaining + 1) & 0xfffe) + sizeof(u32);
          rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data + offset);
      
      Adding some debug logic to check those offset calculation used
      to find rx->header, the one in problematic code is always too
      large by sizeof(u32).
      
      Thus, this patch removes the incorrect " + sizeof(u32)" addition
      in the problematic calculation, and resolves the issue.

      net/smscx5xx: use the device tree for mac address · c489565b
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This takes the MAC address for smsc75xx/smsc95xx USB network devices
      from a the device tree. This is required to get a usable persistent
      address on the popular beagleboard, whose hardware designers
      accidentally forgot that an ethernet device really requires an a
      MAC address to be functional.
      
      The Raspberry Pi also ships smsc9514 without a serial EEPROM, stores
      the MAC address in ROM accessible via VC4 firmware.
      
      The smsc75xx and smsc95xx drivers are just two copies of the
      same code, so better fix both.
