* ixgbe: only register DCA requester onceAlexander Duyck2009-05-221-20/+4Star
| | | | | | | | | | The current driver tries to re-register the DCA requester after reset and this is not correct. This change makes it so all we are doing is resetting the DCA registers after reset and not re-adding the requester.

| | | | | | | | | | The current driver is re-registering the DCA requester after every reset.

* dropmon: add ability to detect when hardware dropsrxpacketsNeil Horman2009-05-226-5/+149
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. The dropmon code then periodically checks to see if the rx_frames counter has changed, and if so, adds a drop notification to the netlink protocol, using the reserved all-0's vector to indicate the drop location was in hardware, rather than somewhere in the code.

* af_packet: Teach to listen for multiple unicast addresses.Eric W. Biederman2009-05-222-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The the PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and the PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP setsockopt calls for af_packet already has all of the infrastructure needed to subscribe to multiple mac addresses. All that is missing is a flag to say that the address we want to listen on is a unicast address. So introduce PACKET_MR_UNICAST and wire it up to dev_unicast_add and dev_unicast_delete. Additionally I noticed that errors from dev_mc_add were not propagated from packet_dev_mc so fix that. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* qeth: avoid crash after detach of replugged deviceUrsula Braun2009-05-212-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a qeth device is plugged off, setting the device online stops in state HARDSETUP and a failure is reported to the base cio-layer causing halt/clear to be invoked. Replugging the device again triggers a qeth recovery without notification of the cio-layer. If a device is ungrouped in this state, the qeth set_offline function is not invoked, because the corresponding ccwgroup device is not in state ONLINE. Then incoming traffic is still handled by the qdio layer resulting in a crash in qeth_l<x>_qdio_input_handler, because (part of) the qeth data structures for this device are already removed. Solution: After replugging the device qeth recovery should lead to a working net device. Thus a "LAN offline" result when setting a qeth device online must not report a failure to the base cio-layer.

* ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCPChris Friesen2009-05-201-4/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU. This can be useful for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames. This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option correctly. It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU, but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nlmsg_new() adds the size of the netlink header to the value that has been passed as parameter. If NLMSG_GOODSIZE is selected, we request an allocation of one memory page plus the size of the header. Instead, NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE should be used since it already substracts the size of the Netlink header.

* r8169: allow true forced mode settingfrançois romieu2009-05-191-53/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to mostly historic reasons, including a lack of reliability of the link handling (especially with the older 8169), the current r8169 driver emulates forced mode setting by limiting the advertised modes. With this change the driver allows real 10/100 forced mode settings on the 8169 and 8101/8102. Original idea by Vincent Steenhoute.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
