The flow control handling is overly complicated and difficult to maintain. This patch cleans up the flow control handling and makes it much more explicit. It also adds 1G flow control autonegotiation, for 1G copper links, 1G KX links, and 1G fiber links.

Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no messages at all were delivered: 1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0. 2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone() failure, return -ENOBUFS. 3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH. With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

The current code has some flaws in it when performing autonegotiation, especially on KX/KX4 links. This patch updates the code to better handle the autonegotiation states on link setup. The patch also removes a redundant link configuration call on driver load, and moves link configuration to the ->open() path.

The previous fix ad0f9904 (gro: Fix handling of imprecisely split packets) only fixed the case of frags merging, frag_list merging in the same circumstances were still broken. In particular, the packet headers end up in the data stream. This patch fixes this plus another issue where an imprecisely split packet header may be read incorrectly (this is mostly harmless since it'll simply cause the packet to not match and be rejected for GRO). Thanks to Emil Tantilov and Jeff Kirsher for helping to track this down. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does not have any accounting. This means that the user-space sender may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested. Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at most end points, this can also be a problem because its only response to congestion is packet loss. That is, when those local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will start wasting system time because it will continue to send data there which simply gets dropped straight away. Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away anywhere fast. In fact, we've always helped them by performing accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss. This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device. It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our packets just as a normal socket does for UDP. Of course things are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic back into the stack rather than out of the stack. The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding patches. So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w. For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for backwards compatibility. In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX. This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the sudden arrival EAGAIN errors. In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.

The function sock_alloc_send_pskb is completely useless if not exported since most of the code in it won't be used as is. In fact, this code has already been duplicated in the tun driver. Now that we need accounting in the tun driver, we can in fact use this function as is. So this patch marks it for export again.

As it currently stands, skb destructors are forbidden on the receive path because the protocol end-points will overwrite any existing destructor with their own. This is the reason why we have to call skb_orphan in the loopback driver before we reinject the packet back into the stack, thus creating a period during which loopback traffic isn't charged to any socket. With virtualisation, we have a similar problem in that traffic is reinjected into the stack without being associated with any socket entity, thus providing no natural congestion push-back for those poor folks still stuck with UDP. Now had we been consistent in telling them that UDP simply has no congestion feedback, I could just fob them off. Unfortunately, we appear to have gone to some length in catering for this on the standard UDP path, with skb/socket accounting so that has created a very unhealthy dependency. Alas habits are difficult to break out of, so we may just have to allow skb destructors on the receive path. It turns out that making skb destructors useable on the receive path isn't as easy as it seems. For instance, simply adding skb_orphan to skb_set_owner_r isn't enough. This is because we assume all over the IP stack that skb->sk is an IP socket if present. The new transparent proxy code goes one step further and assumes that skb->sk is the receiving socket if present. Now all of this can be dealt with by adding simple checks such as only treating skb->sk as an IP socket if skb->sk->sk_family matches. However, it turns out that for bridging at least we don't need to do all of this work. This is of interest because most virtualisation setups use bridging so we don't actually go through the IP stack on the host (with the exception of our old nemesis the bridge netfilter, but that's easily taken care of). So this patch simply adds skb_orphan to the point just before we enter the IP stack, but after we've gone through the bridge on the receive path. It also adds an skb_orphan to the one place in netfilter that touches skb->sk/skb->destructor, that is, tproxy. One word of caution, because of the internal code structure, anyone wishing to deploy this must use skb_set_owner_w as opposed to skb_set_owner_r since many functions that create a new skb from an existing one will invoke skb_set_owner_w on the new skb.

Stashing is only supported on the 85xx (e500-based) SoCs. The 83xx and 86xx chips don't have a proper cache for this. U-Boot has been updated to add stashing properties to the device tree nodes of gianfar devices on 85xx. So now we modify Linux to keep stashing off unless those properties are there.

This will be used for RX mode, MAC filter table, VLAN filtering, etc... The control transaction consists of one or more "out" sg entries and one or more "in" sg entries. The first out entry contains a header defining the class and command. Additional out entries may provide data for the command. The last in entry provides a status response back from the command. Virtqueues typically run asynchronous, running a callback function when there's data in the channel. We can't readily make use of this in the command paths where we need to use this. Instead, we kick the virtqueue and spin. The kick causes an I/O write, triggering an immediate trap into the hypervisor.

The removed version with the loop registers saved on the stack was originally intended to workaround the missing toolchain support for LoopReg Clobbers. Since our toolchain now supports these there is no point in keeping this workaround. And since we don't touch LoopRegs anymore we're no longer subject for ANOMALY_05000312.
