2009-01-05af_iucv: avoid left over IUCV connections from failing connectsUrsula Braun
For certain types of AFIUCV socket connect failures IUCV connections are left over. Add some cleanup-statements to avoid cluttered IUCV connections. Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ursula.braun@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-01-05af_iucv: New error return codes for connect()Hendrik Brueckner
If the iucv_path_connect() call fails then return an error code that corresponds to the iucv_path_connect() failure condition; instead of returning -ECONNREFUSED for any failure. This helps to improve error handling for user space applications (e.g. inform the user that the z/VM guest is not authorized to connect to other guest virtual machines). The error return codes are based on those described in connect(2).

2009-01-05net/ehea: bitops work on unsigned longsStephen Rothwell
The flags field of struct ehea_port is only used with test_bit(), clear_bit() and set_bit() and these interfaces only work on "unsigned long"s, so change the field to be an "unsigned long". Also, this field only has two bits defined for it (0 and 1) so will still be fine if someone builds this driver for a 32 bit arch (at least as far as this flags field is concerned). Also note that ehea_driver_flags is only used in ehca_main.c, so make it static in there. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-01-05Revert "net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28"David S. Miller
This reverts commit 22604c866889c4b2e12b73cbf1683bda1b72a313. We can't fix this issue in this way, because we now can try to take the dev_base_lock rwlock as a writer in software interrupt context and that is not allowed without major surgery elsewhere. This initial link state problem needs to be solved in some other way. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-01-05tcp: Kill extraneous SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK checks.David S. Miller
In splice TCP receive, the SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag is used to compute the "timeo" value. So checking it again inside of the main receive loop to trigger -EAGAIN processing is entirely unnecessary. Noticed by Jarek P. and Lennert Buytenhek. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-01-05tcp: don't mask EOF and socket errors on nonblocking splice receiveLennert Buytenhek
Currently, setting SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK on splice from a TCP socket results in masking of EOF (RDHUP) and error conditions on the socket by an -EAGAIN return. Move the NONBLOCK check in tcp_splice_read() to be after the EOF and error checks to fix this. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-01-04dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control pluginsGerrit Renker
Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko: * enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go through the CCID registration lock; * updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256); * since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no longer needed, simplifying use and implementation. CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10); CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

2009-01-04qeth: avoid crash in case of layer mismatch for VSWITCHUrsula Braun
For z/VM GuestLAN or VSWITCH devices the transport layer is configured in z/VM. The layer2 attribute of a participating Linux device has to match the z/VM definition. In case of a mismatch Linux currently crashes in qeth recovery due to a reference to the not yet existing net_device.

2009-01-04net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28Michael Marineau
From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org> Commit b47300168e770b60ab96c8924854c3b0eb4260eb "Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device. Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on __LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3], and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link, I don't know if and when it may get set.) The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time out the first time. The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call entirely as the previous fix did.

2009-01-04qlge: bugfix: Fix shadow register endian issue.Ron Mercer
Shadow registers are consistent memory locations to which the chip echos ring indexes in little endian format. These values need to be endian swapped before referencing. Note: The register pointer declaration uses the volatile modifier which causes warnings in checkpatch. Per Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt: - Pointers to data structures in coherent memory which might be modified by I/O devices can, sometimes, legitimately be volatile. A ring buffer used by a network adapter, where that adapter changes pointers to indicate which descriptors have been processed, is an example of this type of situation.

2009-01-04gro: Add page frag supportHerbert Xu
This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags) in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list. It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's lro_receive_frags interface. The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed there. The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation. If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

2009-01-04gro: Use gso_size to store MSSHerbert Xu
In order to allow GRO packets without frag_list at all, we need to store the MSS in the packet itself. The obvious place is gso_size.

2009-01-04ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.David S. Miller
Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky. The core problem is that on a network with lots of active multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does in ineffective because route entries hold a reference to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate entries with no references. IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS). So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

2008-12-29netns: foreach_netdev_safe is insufficient in default_device_exitEric W. Biederman
During network namespace teardown we either move or delete all of the network devices associated with a network namespace. In the case of veth devices deleting one will also delete it's pair device. If both devices are in the same network namespace then for_each_netdev_safe is insufficient as next may point to the second veth device we have deleted. To avoid problems I do what we do in __rtnl_kill_links and restart the scan of the device list, after we have deleted a device. Currently dev_change_netnamespace does not appear to suffer from this problem, but wireless devices are also paired and likely should be moved between network namespaces together. So I have errored on the side of caution and restart the scan of the network devices in that case as well. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
