2014-04-24can: mcp251x: Improve mcp251x_hw_probe()Alexander Shiyan
This patch adds check for mcp251x_hw_reset() result on startup and removes unnecessary checking for CANSTAT register since this value is being checked in mcp251x_hw_reset().

2014-04-24can: mcp251x: Improve mcp251x_hw_reset()Alexander Shiyan
The MCP251x utilizes an oscillator startup timer (OST), which holds the chip in reset, to insure that the oscillator has stabilized before the internal state machine begins to operate. The OST maintains reset for the first 128 OSC clock cycles after power up or reset. So, this patch removes unnecessary loops and reduce delay for power on and reset to the safe value.

2014-04-24bonding: Add tlb_dynamic_lb parameter for tlb modeMahesh Bandewar
The aggresive load balancing causes packet re-ordering as active flows are moved from a slave to another within the group. Sometime this aggresive lb is not necessary if the preference is for less re-ordering. This parameter if used with value "0" disables this dynamic flow shuffling minimizing packet re-ordering. Of course the side effect is that it has to live with the static load balancing that the hashing distribution provides. This impact is less severe if the correct xmit-hashing-policy is used for the tlb setup. The default value of the parameter is set to "1" mimicing the earlier behavior. Ran the netperf test with 200 stream for 1 min between two hosts with 4x1G trunk (xmit-lb mode with xmit-policy L3+4) before and after these changes. Following was the command used for those 200 instances - netperf -t TCP_RR -l 60 -s 5 -H <host> -- -r81920,81920 Transactions per second: Before change: 1,367.11 After change: 1,470.65 Change-Id: Ie3f75c77282cf602e83a6e833c6eb164e72a0990 Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-04-24bonding: Added bond_tlb_xmit() for tlb mode.Mahesh Bandewar
Re-organized the xmit function for the lb mode separating tlb xmit from the alb mode. This will enable use of the hashing policies like 802.3ad mode. Also extended use of xmit-hash-policy to tlb mode. Now the tlb-mode defaults to BOND_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER2 if the xmit policy module parameter is not set (just like 802.3ad, or Xor mode).

Jacob converts the ixgbe low_water into an array which allows the algorithm to output different values for different TCs and we can distinguish between them. Removes vlan_filter_disable() and vlan_filter_enable() in ixgbe so that we can do the work directly in set_rx_mode(). Changes the setting of multicast filters only when the interface is not in promiscuous mode for multicast packets in ixgbe. Improves MAC filter handling by adding mac_table API based on work done for igb, which includes functions to add/delete MAC filters. Mark changes register reads in ixgbe to an out-of-line function since register reads are slow. Emil provides a ixgbevf patch to update the driver description since it supports more than just 82599 parts now. David provides several cleanup patches for e1000e which resolve some checkpatch issues as well as changing occurrences of returning 0 or 1 in bool functions to returning true false or true. Carolyn provides several cleanup patches for igb which fix checkpatch warnings. Mitch provides a fix for i40evf where the driver would correctly allow the virtual function link state to be controlled by 'ip set link', but would not report it correctly back. This is fixed by filling out the appropriate field in the VF info struct. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In ksz9021_load_values_from_of() val2 to val4 aren't tested against their initialization value. This causes the test to always succeed, and this value to be used as if it was loaded from the devicetree instead of being ignored, in case of a missing/invalid property in the ethernet OF device node.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Greg provides two patches for i40e, the first adds the netdev ops to support the addition of static FDB entries in the physical function (PF) MAC/VLAN filter table so that the virtual functions (VFs) can communicate with bridged virtual Ethernet ports such as those provided by the virtio driver. The second is to fix an issue where the assignment of a port VLAN after it is already up and running requires the VF driver to be reloaded, so print a message warning the host administrator about the need to reload the VF driver. In addition, knock the VF offline so that it does not continue to receive traffic not on the port VLAN assigned to it. Jesse provides a patch for i40e and i40evf to unhide and enable the PREFENA field in the receive host memory cache (RX-HMC) for best performance. Mitch provides a i40e patch to implement the net device op for Tx bandwidth setting. Catherine removes a firmware workaround that is no longer needed with the latest firmware for i40e. She also provides some minor cleanups as well bumps the driver versions. Anjali provides a fix for i40e displaying IPv4 flow director filters which needed additional information to be communicated up above in order for it to be displayed correctly. Shannon adds tracking of the NVM busy state so that the driver won't allow a new NVM update command until a completion event is received from the current update. Updates the admin queue API to reflect recent changes in the firmware. Also rearranges the "if netdev" logic to prepare for handling non-netdev VSIs. Lastly rework the fdir setup and tear down to use the newly created i40e_vsi_open() and i40e_vsi_close(), which also fixes a memory leak of the FDIR queue buffer info structs across a reset. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Richard Guy Briggs says: ==================== audit: implement multicast socket for journald This is a patch set Eric Paris and I have been working on to add a restricted capability read-only netlink multicast socket to kernel audit to enable userspace clients such as systemd/journald to receive audit logs, in addition to the bidirectional auditd userspace client. Currently, auditd has the CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL and CAP_AUDIT_WRITE capabilities (but uses CAP_NET_ADMIN). The CAP_AUDIT_READ capability will be added for use by read-only AUDIT_NLGRP_READLOG multicast group clients to the kaudit subsystem. This will remove the dependence on CAP_NET_ADMIN for the multicast read-only socket. Patches 1-3 provide a way for per-protocol bind functions to signal an error and to be able to clean up after themselves. The first netfilter cleanup patch has already been accepted by a netfilter maintainer, though I don't see it upstream yet, so it is included for completeness. The second patch adds the per-protocol bind function return code to signal to the netlink code that no further processing should be done and to undo the work already done. V1: This rev fixes a bug introduced by flattening the code in the last posting. *V2: This rev moves the per-protocol bind call above the socket exposure call and refactors out the unbind procedure. The third provides a way per protocol to undo bind actions on DROP. Patches 4-6 implement the audit multicast socket with capability checking. The fourth patch adds the bind function capability check to multicast join requests for audit. The fifth patch adds the audit log read multicast group. An assumption has been made that systemd/journald reside in the initial network namespace. This could be changed to check the actual network namespace of systemd/journald should this assumption no longer be true since audit now supports all network namespaces. This version of the patch now directly sends the broadcast when the packet is ready rather than waiting until it passes the queue. The sixth checks if any clients actually exist before sending. Since the net tree is busier than the audit tree, conflicts are more likely and the audit patches depend on the net patches, it is proposed to have the net tree carry this entire patchset for 3.16. Are the net maintainers ok with this? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887992 First posted: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2013-January/msg00008.html https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/27/279 Please find source for a test program at: http://people.redhat.com/rbriggs/audit-multicast-listen/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Add a netlink multicast socket with one group to kaudit for "best-effort" delivery to read-only userspace clients such as systemd, in addition to the existing bidirectional unicast auditd userspace client. Currently, auditd is intended to use the CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL and CAP_AUDIT_WRITE capabilities, but actually uses CAP_NET_ADMIN. The CAP_AUDIT_READ capability is added for use by read-only AUDIT_NLGRP_READLOG netlink multicast group clients to the kaudit subsystem. This will safely give access to services such as systemd to consume audit logs while ensuring write access remains restricted for integrity.

2014-04-22netlink: have netlink per-protocol bind function return an error code.Richard Guy Briggs
Have the netlink per-protocol optional bind function return an int error code rather than void to signal a failure. This will enable netlink protocols to perform extra checks including capabilities and permissions verifications when updating memberships in multicast groups. In netlink_bind() and netlink_setsockopt() the call to the per-protocol bind function was moved above the multicast group update to prevent any access to the multicast socket groups before checking with the per-protocol bind function. This will enable the per-protocol bind function to be used to check permissions which could be denied before making them available, and to avoid the messy job of undoing the addition should the per-protocol bind function fail. The netfilter subsystem seems to be the only one currently using the per-protocol bind function. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Remove duplicity and simplify code flow by moving the rcu_read_unlock() above the condition and let the flow control exit naturally at the end of the function. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-04-22filter: added BPF random opcodeChema Gonzalez
Added a new ancillary load (bpf call in eBPF parlance) that produces a 32-bit random number. We are implementing it as an ancillary load (instead of an ISA opcode) because (a) it is simpler, (b) allows easy JITing, and (c) seems more in line with generic ISAs that do not have "get a random number" as a instruction, but as an OS call. The main use for this ancillary load is to perform random packet sampling.
