2010-10-01tg3: Fix potential netpoll crashMatt Carlson
Up until now the tg3 driver would call netif_napi_add() for the maximum number of NAPI instances the driver could use. The problem is that netpoll could call tg3_poll() on instances that are not active. The net effect is that the driver will crash attempting to dereference uninitialized pointers. The fix is to only allocate as many NAPI instances as the driver would use in tg3_open() and deleted them in tg3_close().

2010-09-30e1000e: use hardware writeback batchingJesse Brandeburg
Most e1000e parts support batching writebacks. The problem with this is that when some of the TADV or TIDV timers are not set, Tx can sit forever. This is solved in this patch with write flushes using the Flush Partial Descriptors (FPD) bit in TIDV and RDTR. This improves bus utilization and removes partial writes on e1000e, particularly from 82571 parts in S5500 chipset based machines. Only ES2LAN and 82571/2 parts are included in this optimization, to reduce testing load.

2010-09-29myri10ge: DCA update (resubmit)Andrew Gallatin
This patch contains the following DCA improvements to myri10ge: 1) Finally move myri10ge to use dca3 API 2) Disable PCIe relaxed ordering when enabling DCA on myri10ge. This provides a performance boost on Nehalem based Xeons 3) Make sure to properly initialize NIC's DCA state when it is enabled, rather than giving the NIC a bogus tag (0) and waiting for the first received packet to trigger an update. Not using a real tag can cause hardware exceptions on some motherboards when a CPU socket is empty. 3) Always update the cached CPU when our interrupt affinity changes so as to avoid excessive calls to dca3_get_tag() Signed-off-by: Andrew Gallatin <gallatin@myri.com> Signed-off-by: Loic Prylli <loic@myri.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-29um: Proper Fix for f25c80a4: remove duplicate structure field initializationBoaz Harrosh
uml_net_set_mac() was broken and luckily it was never used, before. What it was trying to do is spin_lock before memcopy the mac address. Linus attempted to fix it in assumption that someone decided the lock was needed. But since it was never ever used at all, and was just dead code, I think we can assume that it is not needed, after all. On the other hand patch [f25c80a4] was trying to use eth_mac_addr() in eth_configure(), *which was the real fallout*. Because of state checks done inside eth_mac_addr() the address was never set. I have not reintroduced the memcpy wrapper, but I've put a comment for future cats. The code now is back to exactly as it was before [f25c80a4]. With the cleanup applied. If the spin_lock is indeed needed then a contender should supply a test case that fails, then fix it with the proper locking, as a separate unrelated patch.

An example use case is to configure a machine to accept all incoming traffic on eth0, and leave the policy of whether traffic for a given IP should be delivered to the machine up to the load balancer. Can be setup as follows: ip -6 rule from all iif eth0 lookup 200 ip -6 route add local default dev lo table 200 (in this case for all IPv6 addresses) Signed-off-by: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-28ipv4: Allow configuring subnets as local addressesTom Herbert
This patch allows a host to be configured to respond to any address in a specified range as if it were local, without actually needing to configure the address on an interface. This is done through routing table configuration. For instance, to configure a host to respond to any address in 10.1/16 received on eth0 as a local address we can do: ip rule add from all iif eth0 lookup 200 ip route add local 10.1/16 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 table 200 This host is now reachable by any 10.1/16 address (route lookup on input for packets received on eth0 can find the route). On output, the rule will not be matched so that this host can still send packets to 10.1/16 (not sent on loopback). Presumably, external routing can be configured to make sense out of this. To make this work, we needed to modify the logic in finding the interface which is assigned a given source address for output (dev_ip_find). We perform a normal fib_lookup instead of just a lookup on the local table, and in the lookup we ignore the input interface for matching. This patch is useful to implement IP-anycast for subnets of virtual addresses. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-09-28ip_gre: Fix dependencies wrt. ipv6.David S. Miller
The GRE tunnel driver needs to invoke icmpv6 helpers in the ipv6 stack when ipv6 support is enabled. Therefore if IPV6 is enabled, we have to enforce that GRE's enabling (modular or static) matches that of ipv6.

2010-09-28net-2.6: SYN retransmits: Add new parameter to retransmits_timed_out()Damian Lukowski
Fixes kernel Bugzilla Bug 18952 This patch adds a syn_set parameter to the retransmits_timed_out() routine and updates its callers. If not set, TCP_RTO_MIN is taken as the calculation basis as before. If set, TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT is used instead, so that sysctl_syn_retries represents the actual amount of SYN retransmissions in case no SYNACKs are received when establishing a new connection.

2010-09-28mac80211: Fix WMM driver queue configurationJuuso Oikarinen
The WMM parameter configuration function (ieee80211_sta_wmm_params) only configures the WMM parameters to the driver is the wmm_last_param_set counter value is changed by the AP. The wmm_last_param_set is initialized to -1 on association in order to ensure the configuration is made to the driver at least once on association, but currently this initialization is done *after* the WMM parameter configuration function was called. This leads to unreliability in the driver getting properly configured on first association (depending on what counter value the AP happens to use.) When disassociating (the wmm default parameters are configured to the driver) and then reassociating, due to the above the WMM configuration is not set to the driver at all. On drivers without beacon filtering the problem is corrected by later beacons, but on drivers with beacon filtering the WMM will remain permanently incorrectly configured. Fix this by moving the initialization of wmm_last_param_set to -1 before ieee80211_sta_wmm_params is called on association.
