tilepro: Call dev_consume_skb_any instead of kfree_skb.

2014-03-25T04:19:12+00:00

Replace kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in tile_net_tx and tile_net_tx_tso which can be called in hard irq and other contexts. At the point where the skbs are freed a packet has been successfully transmitted so dev_consume_skb_any is the appropriate variant to use. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

ptp: drivers: set the number of programmable pins.

2014-03-21T18:21:14+00:00

This patch updates the many PTP Hardware Clock drivers with the newly introduced field that advertises the number of programmable pins. Some of these devices do have programmable pins, but the implementation will have to wait for follow on patches. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tilepro: Don't receive packets when the napi budget == 0

2014-03-15T02:52:48+00:00

Processing any incoming packets with a with a napi budget of 0 is incorrect driver behavior. This matters as netpoll will shortly call drivers with a budget of 0 to avoid receive packet processing happening in hard irq context. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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.

netdevice: add queue selection fallback handler for ndo_select_queue

2014-02-17T05:36:34+00:00

Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: David S.

net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding

2014-01-10T18:23:08+00:00

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.

tile_net: Always enable PTP clock support on TILE-Gx
