This commit dropped the setting of the default interrupt throttle rate. commit 021230d4 Author: Ayyappan Veeraiyan <ayyappan.veeraiyan@intel.com> Date: Mon Mar 3 15:03:45 2008 -0800 ixgbe: Introduce MSI-X queue vector code The following patch adds it back. Without this the default value of 0 causes the performance of this card to be awful. Restoring these to the default values yields much better performance. This regression has been around since 2.6.25.

Ever since commit 4c563f76 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held. If we do, we'll deadlock since we have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take it again. Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock is dropped.

Re-enable IP when the MTU gets back to a valid size. This patch just checks if the in_dev is NULL on a NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event and if MTU is valid (bigger than 68), then re-enable in_dev. Also a function that checks valid MTU size was created. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In case of error, the function xfrm_bundle_create returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR test should be deleted. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @match_bad_null_test@ expression x, E; statement S1,S2; @@ x = xfrm_bundle_create(...) ... when != x = E * if (x != NULL) S1 else S2 // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid() uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211. As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the kernel warning message. Pasted the kernel warning message for reference. kernel: ath0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:1b:11:60:7a:3d - assume out of range kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel: WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:136 local_bh_enable+0x3c/0xab() kernel: Pid: 1029, comm: ath9k Not tainted 2.6.27-rc4-wt-w1fi-wl kernel: kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<ffffffff802278d8>] warn_on_slowpath+0x51/0x77 kernel: [<ffffffff80224c51>] check_preempt_wakeup+0xf3/0x123 kernel: [<ffffffff80239658>] autoremove_wake_function+0x9/0x2e kernel: [<ffffffff8022c281>] local_bh_enable+0x3c/0xab kernel: [<ffffffffa01ab75a>] ath_rx_node_cleanup+0x38/0x6e [ath9k] kernel: [<ffffffffa01b2280>] ath_node_detach+0x3b/0xb6 [ath9k] kernel: [<ffffffffa01ab09f>] ath9k_sta_notify+0x12b/0x165 [ath9k] kernel: [<ffffffff802366cf>] queue_work+0x1d/0x49 kernel: [<ffffffffa018c3fc>] add_todo+0x70/0x99 [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffffa017de76>] __sta_info_unlink+0x16b/0x19e [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffffa017e6ed>] sta_info_unlink+0x18/0x43 [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffffa0182732>] ieee80211_associated+0xaa/0x16d [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffffa0184a1a>] ieee80211_sta_work+0x4fb/0x6b4 [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffff80469c58>] thread_return+0x30/0xa9 kernel: [<ffffffffa018451f>] ieee80211_sta_work+0x0/0x6b4 [mac80211] kernel: [<ffffffff802362c2>] run_workqueue+0xb1/0x17a kernel: [<ffffffff80236be9>] worker_thread+0xd0/0xdb kernel: [<ffffffff8023964f>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e kernel: [<ffffffff80236b19>] worker_thread+0x0/0xdb kernel: [<ffffffff8023954a>] kthread+0x47/0x75 kernel: [<ffffffff80223121>] schedule_tail+0x18/0x50 kernel: [<ffffffff8020bc49>] child_rip+0xa/0x11 kernel: [<ffffffff80239503>] kthread+0x0/0x75 kernel: [<ffffffff8020bc3f>] child_rip+0x0/0x11 kernel: kernel: ---[ end trace e9bb5da661055827 ]--- Signed-off-by: Senthil Balasubramanian <senthilkumar@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Updating sc_keytype multiple times when groupwise and pairwise ciphers are different results in incorrect pairwise key type assumed for TX control and normal ping fails.

Jouni Malinen authored
debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures; usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost. Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future) that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

When multicasting the driver sets the number of group addresses using the count from the previous set multicast command. In general this means you have to set the multicast addresses twice to get the behaviour you want. If we were multicasting, and reduce the number of addresses we are multicasting to, then the driver would write uninitialised data from the stack into the group addresses to multicast to. Only write the multicast addresses we have specifically set. Signed-off-by: David Kilroy <kilroyd@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Nothing in linux/pim.h should be exported to userspace. This should fix the XORP build failure reported by Jose Calhariz, the debain package maintainer. Nothing originally in linux/mroute.h was exported to userspace ever, but some of this stuff started to be when it was moved into this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong. If we didn't provide these definitions for 10 years we can reasonably expect that applications defined this stuff locally or used GLIBC headers providing the protocol definitions. And as such the only result of this can be conflict and userland build breakage. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Use qdisc_root_sleeping_lock() instead of qdisc_root_lock() where appropriate. The only difference is while dev is deactivated, when currently we can use a sleeping qdisc with the lock of noop_qdisc. This shouldn't be dangerous since after deactivation root lock could be used only by gen_estimator code, but looks wrong anyway.

The bonds check to prevent buffer overlflow was not exactly right. It still allowed overflow of up to 8 bytes which is sizeof(struct sctp_authkey). Since optlen is already checked against the size of that struct, we are guaranteed not to cause interger overflow either.

Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers). However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without extension headers. Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets. A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform software checksum calculation.

Santiago Leon authored
This patch fixes a ibmveth bug where bad UDP checksums are being transmitted when checksum offloading is enabled. The hypervisor does checksum offloading only on TCP packets, so ibmveth calls skb_checksum_help() for any other protocol. The bug happens because the packet is being modified after the DMA map, so we would need a memory barrier before making the hypervisor call. Reordering the code so that the DMA map happens after skb_checksum_help() has the additional advantage of fixing a DMA map leak if skb_checksum_help() where to fail.
