o remove max_ prefix from ring sizes, since they don't really represent max possible sizes. o cleanup naming of rx ring types (normal, jumbo, lro). o simplify logic to choose rx ring size, gig ports get half rx ring of 10 gig ports. Signed-off-by:

The Tx DMA unit should be disabled when bringing the device down. Also, the KX4 device with 82599 supports WoL, so we should clear the Wake Up Status (WUS) after a PCIe slot reset. Signed-off-by:

There are possible times that a driver may fail to completely initialize, due to a buggy platform or a buggy kernel. In those cases, we'd rather fail gracefully instead of a panic. Add a few safety checks to some critical paths to try and prevent a panic in these corner-case situations. Signed-off-by:

This cleans up the following pieces of the Rx initialization path: - Enable the ECC memory fault interrupt in OTHER causes. - Fix an 82598 initialization of RDRXCTL when depending on RSS and VMDq to be enabled. We don't need these features enabled to safely set the MVMEN bit to allow multiple SRRCTL register mappings into the RXDCTL registers. - Fix the RSS initialization path to not stomp on DCB accidentally. When configuring the MRQC (multiple Rx queue contol) register, we want to make sure we only OR in features as necessary, instead of full assignment. Signed-off-by:

The Tx accounting when cleaning during NAPI was not completely properly. We should use the work_limit to determine when to finish cleaning, and use the same to return the cleaned status. The impact of running like this causes the NAPI clean for this Tx to get stuck in a scheduling loop, and can result in Tx not getting cleaned, ending with a Tx hang and device reset. Signed-off-by:

Occasionally if the driver was loaded in a system that didn't support MSI-X or MSI and was on a shared interrupt, the driver would then panic in NAPI on the first shared interrupt because we hadn't called napi_add yet. Solution: call napi_add before calling request_irq Signed-off-by:

The interrupt models using EITR have changed in 82599. The way the register is laid out, the change is transparent to some of the existing code. However, some of it isn't. This patch fixes all the cases where EITR handling is different than 82598. Signed-off-by:

The netif_running check in igb poll is a hold over from the use of fake netdevs to use multiple queues with NAPI prior to 2.6.24. It is no longer necessary to have the call there and it currently can cause errors if work_done == budget. Signed-off-by:

I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels with different speeds to the same bundle. Problem Description: As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel of the bundle. Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc, flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working @1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth). Problem Solution: The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode" function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on 1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels working at different speeds.

skb->len is an unsigned int, so the test in x25_rx_call_request() always evaluates to true. len in x25_sendmsg() is unsigned as well. so -ERRORS returned by x25_output() are not noticed. Signed-off-by:

Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927. Here is quote of important information: " An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above, except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set to the host's newly selected IPv4 address. " But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227. " The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case where the address turns out to be already in use by another host. " When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip. Signed-off-by:

The original patch was submitted last year but wasn't discussed or applied because of missing maintainer's CCs. I only fixed some formatting errors, but as I saw tulip is very badly formatted and needs further work. Original description: This patch fixes MTU problem, which occurs when using 802.1q VLANs. We should allow receiving frames of up to 1518 bytes in length, instead of 1514. Based on patch written by Ben McKeegan for 2.4.x kernels. It is archived at http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html#tulip I've adjusted a few things to make it apply on 2.6.x kernels. Tested on D-Link DFE-570TX quad-fastethernet card.

It closes a race in phy_stop_machine when reprogramming of phy_timer (from phy_state_machine) happens between del_timer_sync and cancel_work_sync. Without this change it could lead to crash if phy_device would be freed after phy_stop_machine (timer would fire and schedule freed work). Signed-off-by:

Changing the mac address when a macvlan device is up will leave the device on the wrong hash chain making it impossible to receive packets. There is no checking of the mac address set on the macvlan. Allowing a misconfiguration to grab packets from the the underlying device or another macvlan. To resolve these problems I update the hash table of macvlans when the mac address of a macvlan changes, and when updating the hash table I verify that the new mac address is usable. The result is well defined and predictable if not perfect handling of mac vlan mac addresses. To keep the code clear I have created a set of hash table maintenance in macvlan so I am not open coding the hash function and the logic needed to update the hash table all over the place.

When running in a network namespace whose only link to the outside world is a macvlan device, not being able to create another macvlan is a real pain. So modify macvlan creation to allow automatically forward a creation of a macvlan on a macvlan to become a creation of a macvlan on the underlying network device. Signed-off-by:
