Some ROMs on embedded devices store incorrect values for the PHY address of the ethernet device. It looks like the number is sign-extended. Truncate the value by applying the PHY-address mask to it.

Using iWARP with a Chelsio T3 NIC generates the following lockdep warning: ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.25-rc6 #50 --------------------------------- inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage. swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes: (&adap->sge.reg_lock){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff880e5ee2>] cxgb_offload_ctl+0x3af/0x507 [cxgb3] The problem is that reg_lock is used with plain spin_lock() in drivers/net/cxgb3/sge.c but is used with spin_lock_irqsave() in drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_offload.c. This is technically a false positive, since the uses in sge.c are only in the initialization and cleanup paths and cannot overlap with any use in interrupt context. The best fix is probably just to use spin_lock_irq() with reg_lock in sge.c. Even though it's not strictly required for correctness, it avoids triggering lockdep and the extra overhead of disabling interrupts is not important at all in the initialization and cleanup slow paths.

Marvell PHY m88e1111 (not sure about other models, but think they too) works in two modes: fiber and copper. In Marvell PHY driver (that we have in current community kernels) code supported only copper mode, and this is not configurable, bits for copper mode are simply written in registers during PHY initialization.

o eliminate tx lock in netxen adapter struct, instead pound on netdev tx lock appropriately. o remove old "concurrent transmit" code that unnecessarily drops and reacquires tx lock in hard_xmit_frame(), this is already serialized the netdev xmit lock. o reduce scope of tx lock in tx cleanup. tx cleanup operates on different section of the ring than transmitting cpus and is guarded by producer and consumer indices.

o separate and simpler irq handler for msi interrupts, avoids few checks than legacy mode. o avoid redudant tx_has_work() and rx_has_work() checks in interrupt and napi, which can uncork irq based on racy (lockless) access to tx and rx ring indices. If we get interrupt, there's sufficient reason to schedule napi. o replenish rx ring more often, remove self-imposed threshold rcv_free that prevents posting rx desc to card.

Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine) should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry. There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns() uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER. This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped and the deleting procedure may proceed. One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too big for -rc4. So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check the flags on alive pneigh entry. Changes from v2: As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module. The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony. Changes from v1: Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized by gcc.

HTB is event driven algorithm and part of its work is to apply scheduled events at proper times. It tried to defend itself from livelock by processing only limited number of events per dequeue. Because of faster computers some users already hit this hardcoded limit. This patch limits processing up to 2 jiffies (why not 1 jiffie ? because it might stop prematurely when only fraction of jiffie remains).

While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU. The packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller than a page. Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can always be sent immediately. The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal. This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436 MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than 16436. I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections, but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that those cases don't regress.
