net: Replace u64_stats_fetch_begin_bh to u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq

2014-03-15T02:41:36+00:00

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant. We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of the places using the bh safe variant. Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that everyone can use. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

net: introduce netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats() for drivers

2014-02-14T20:49:55+00:00

There are many drivers calling alloc_percpu() to allocate pcpu stats and then initializing ->syncp. So just introduce a helper function for them. Cc: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdep

2013-11-06T11:40:25+00:00

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement. Feedback would be appreciated! Signed-off-by: John Stultz Acked-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Alexey Kuznetsov Cc: "David S.

net: fix race condition in several drivers when reading stats

2012-07-22T19:12:32+00:00

Fix race condition in several network drivers when reading stats on 32bit UP architectures. These drivers update their stats in a BH context and therefore should use u64_stats_fetch_begin_bh/u64_stats_fetch_retry_bh instead of u64_stats_fetch_begin/u64_stats_fetch_retry when reading the stats.

dummy: Add ndo_uninit().

2012-04-17T03:56:36+00:00

In register_netdevice(), when ndo_init() is successful and later some error occurred, ndo_uninit() will be called. So dummy deivce is desirable to implement ndo_uninit() method to free percpu stats for this case. And, ndo_uninit() is also called along with dev->destructor() when device is unregistered, so in order to prevent dev->dstats from being freed twice, dev->destructor is modified to free_netdev().
