A receive coalescing timeout of 250 usec appears to strike a good balance between allowing enough received frames to be aggregated for LRO to do its job and not allowing the connection to stall due to delaying ACKs to the remote end for too long.

Move the netif_carrier_off() call in ->open() to port probe, so that ethtool doesn't report the link as being up before we have up'd the interface. Move initialisation of the rx/tx coalescing timers from ->open() to port probe, so that we don't reset the coalescing timers every time the interface is up'd.

it was pointed out on the list that ixgbe was failing when using 64kB pages and large 16kB MTU. since with a 64kB PAGE_SIZE MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 3, the way the driver was configuring page usage was assuming 2kB is half a page, and was only ever dmaing that much data to a half page. (16kB - header size) / 2048 = 7 or 8 pages, which would far exceed 3 adjust the driver to account for these large pages, the hardware can support DMA to up to 16kB for each descriptor.

From: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@intel.com> The ring_feature member of ixgbe_adapter is statically allocated based on the supported features of the device. When a new feature is added, we need to manually update the static allocation. This patch makes the feature list an enum, eliminating the need for multiple updates to the code when adding a new feature.

The IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER Kconfig describes the rp_filter proc option. Recent changes added a loose mode. Instead of documenting this change too places, refer to the document describing it: Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt I'm considering moving the rp_filter description away from the Kconfig file into ip-sysctl.txt.

PCI bar 0 is used for memory mapped register access. If ioremap fails (returns NULL), register access results in crash. Use pci_ioremap_bar() instead of ioremap(), the latter fails on on 32 bit powerpc where pci resource address is > 32 bits.

The PCI function to physical port mapping is valid only for old firmware. New firmware (4.0.0+) abstracts this. So driver should never try to access phy using invalid mapping.

de_get is called before every proc_get_inode, but corresponding de_put is called only when dropping last reference to an inode. This might cause something like remove_proc_entry: /proc/stats busy, count=14496 to be printed to the syslog. The fix is to call de_put in case of an already initialized inode in proc_get_inode.

The fix for CVE-2009-0676 (upstream commit df0bca04) is incomplete. Note that the same problem of leaking kernel memory will reappear if someone on some architecture uses struct timeval with some internal padding (for example tv_sec 64-bit and tv_usec 32-bit) --- then, you are going to leak the padded bytes to userspace.

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Denis V.
