2012-08-30netdev/phy: add MDIO bus multiplexer driven by a memory-mapped deviceTimur Tabi
Add support for an MDIO bus multiplexer controlled by a simple memory-mapped device, like an FPGA. The device must be memory-mapped and contain only 8-bit registers (which keeps things simple). Tested on a Freescale P5020DS board which uses the "PIXIS" FPGA attached to the localbus. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-08-30e1000e: DoS while TSO enabled caused by link partner with small MSSBruce Allan
With a low enough MSS on the link partner and TSO enabled locally, the networking stack can periodically send a very large (e.g. 64KB) TCP message for which the driver will attempt to use more Tx descriptors than are available by default in the Tx ring. This is due to a workaround in the code that imposes a limit of only 4 MSS-sized segments per descriptor which appears to be a carry-over from the older e1000 driver and may be applicable only to some older PCI or PCIx parts which are not supported in e1000e. When the driver gets a message that is too large to fit across the configured number of Tx descriptors, it stops the upper stack from queueing any more and gets stuck in this state. After a timeout, the upper stack assumes the adapter is hung and calls the driver to reset it. Remove the unnecessary limitation of using up to only 4 MSS-sized segments per Tx descriptor, and put in a hard failure test to catch when attempting to check for message sizes larger than would fit in the whole Tx ring. Refactor the remaining logic that limits the size of data per Tx descriptor from a seemingly arbitrary 8KB to a limit based on the dynamic size of the Tx packet buffer as described in the hardware specification. Also, fix the logic in the check for space in the Tx ring for the next largest possible packet after the current one has been successfully queued for transmit, and use the appropriate defines for default ring sizes in e1000_probe instead of magic values. This issue goes back to the introduction of e1000e in 2.6.24 when it was split off from e1000.

2012-08-30of/mdio-gpio: Simplify the way device tree support is implemented.Srinivas Kandagatla
This patch cleans up the way device tree support is added in mdio-gpio driver. I found lot of code duplication which is not necessary. Also strangely a new platform driver was also introduced for device tree support. All this forced me to do this cleanup patch.

2012-08-24sfc: Fix reset vs probe/remove/PM races involving efx_nic::stateBen Hutchings
We try to defer resets while the device is not READY, but we're not doing this quite correctly. In particular, changes to efx_nic::state are documented as serialised by the RTNL lock, but they aren't. 1. We check whether a reset was requested during probe (suggesting broken hardware) before we allow requested resets to be scheduled. This leaves a window where a requested reset would be deferred indefinitely. 2. Although we cancel the reset work item during device removal, there are still later operations that can cause it to be scheduled again. We need to check the state before scheduling it. 3. Since the state can change between scheduling and running of the work item, we still need to check it there, and we need to do so *after* acquiring the RTNL lock which serialises state changes. 4. We must cancel the reset work item during device removal, if the state could ever have been READY. This wasn't done in some of the failure paths from efx_pci_probe(). Move the cancellation to efx_pci_remove_main(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

2012-08-24sfc: Never try to stop and start a NIC that is disabledBen Hutchings
efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels() each stop and start much of the NIC, even if it has been disabled. Since efx_start_all() is a no-op when the NIC is disabled, this is probably harmless in the case of efx_change_mtu(), but efx_realloc_channels() also reenables interrupts which could be a bad thing to do. Change efx_start_all() and efx_start_interrupts() to assert that the NIC is not disabled, but make efx_stop_interrupts() do nothing if the NIC is disabled (since it is already stopped), consistent with efx_stop_all(). Update comments for efx_start_all() and efx_stop_all() to describe their purpose and preconditions more accurately. Add a common function to check and log if the NIC is disabled, and use it in efx_net_open(), efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

2012-08-24sfc: Simplify TSO header buffer allocationBen Hutchings
TSO header buffers contain a control structure immediately followed by the packet headers, and are kept on a free list when not in use. This complicates buffer management and tends to result in cache read misses when we recycle such buffers (particularly if DMA-coherent memory requires caches to be disabled). Replace the free list with a simple mapping by descriptor index. We know that there is always a payload descriptor between any two descriptors with TSO header buffers, so we can allocate only one such buffer for each two descriptors. While we're at it, use a standard error code for allocation failure, not -1. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

In the same fashion as similar translation functions in linux/mii.h, move these functions from the PHYLIB core to the linux/mdio.h header file so the code will not have to be duplicated in each driver needing MMD-to-ethtool (and vice-versa) translations. The function and some variable names have been renamed to be more descriptive. Not tested on the only hardware that currently calls the related functions, stmmac, because I don't have access to any.

2012-08-22bonding: support for IPv6 transmit hashingJohn Eaglesham
Currently the "bonding" driver does not support load balancing outgoing traffic in LACP mode for IPv6 traffic. IPv4 (and TCP or UDP over IPv4) are currently supported; this patch adds transmit hashing for IPv6 (and TCP or UDP over IPv6), bringing IPv6 up to par with IPv4 support in the bonding driver. In addition, bounds checking has been added to all transmit hashing functions. The algorithm chosen (xor'ing the bottom three quads of the source and destination addresses together, then xor'ing each byte of that result into the bottom byte, finally xor'ing with the last bytes of the MAC addresses) was selected after testing almost 400,000 unique IPv6 addresses harvested from server logs. This algorithm had the most even distribution for both big- and little-endian architectures while still using few instructions. Its behavior also attempts to closely match that of the IPv4 algorithm. The IPv6 flow label was intentionally not included in the hash as it appears to be unset in the vast majority of IPv6 traffic sampled, and the current algorithm not using the flow label already offers a very even distribution. Fragmented IPv6 packets are handled the same way as fragmented IPv4 packets, ie, they are not balanced based on layer 4 information. Additionally, IPv6 packets with intermediate headers are not balanced based on layer 4 information. In practice these intermediate headers are not common and this should not cause any problems, and the alternative (a packet-parsing loop and look-up table) seemed slow and complicated for little gain.

The largest chunk is all the broken crap Amerigo Wang found in the netpoll layer." 1) netpoll and it's users has several serious bugs: a) uses GFP_KERNEL with locks held b) interfaces requiring interrupts disabled are called with them enabled c) and vice versa d) VLAN tag demuxing, as per all other RX packet input paths, is not applied All from Amerigo Wang. 2) Hopefully cure the ipv4 mapped ipv6 address TCP early demux bugs for good, from Neal Cardwell. 3) Unlike AF_UNIX, AF_PACKET sockets don't set a default credentials when the user doesn't specify one explicitly during sendmsg(). Instead we attach an empty (zero) SCM credential block which is definitely not what we want. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) IPv6 illegally invokes netdevice notifiers with RCU lock held, fix from Ben Hutchings. 5) inet_csk_route_child_sock() checks wrong inet options pointer, fix from Christoph Paasch. 6) When AF_PACKET is used for transmit, packet loopback doesn't behave properly when a socket fanout is enabled, from Eric Leblond. 7) On bluetooth l2cap channel create failure, we leak the socket, from Jaganath Kanakkassery. 8) Fix all the netprio file handling bugs found by Al Viro, from John Fastabend. 9) Several error return and NULL deref bug fixes in networking drivers from Julia Lawall. 10) A large smattering of struct padding et al. kernel memory leaks to userspace found of Mathias Krause. 11) Conntrack expections in netfilter can access an uninitialized timer, fix from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 12) Several netfilter SIP tracker bug fixes from Patrick McHardy. 13) IPSEC ipv6 routes are not initialized correctly all the time, resulting in an OOPS in inet_putpeer(). Also from Patrick McHardy. 14) Bridging does rcu_dereference() outside of RCU protected area, from Stephen Hemminger. 15) Fix routing cache removal performance regression when looking up output routes that have a local destination.
