team: fix mtu setting

2014-06-02T21:56:01+00:00

Now it is not possible to set mtu to team device which has a port enslaved to it. The reason is that when team_change_mtu() calls dev_set_mtu() for port device, notificator for NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU event is called and team_device_event() returns NOTIFY_BAD forbidding the change. So fix this by returning NOTIFY_DONE here in case team is changing mtu in team_change_mtu().

team: forbid incorrect fall-through in notifier

2014-04-24T17:26:32+00:00

There are two breaks missing there. The result is that userspace receives multiple messages which might be confusing. Introduced-by: 3d249d4c "net: introduce ethernet teaming device" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netpoll: Remove gfp parameter from __netpoll_setup

2014-03-29T21:58:37+00:00

The gfp parameter was added in: commit 47be03a28cc6c80e3aa2b3e8ed6d960ff0c5c0af Author: Amerigo Wang Date: Fri Aug 10 01:24:37 2012 +0000 netpoll: use GFP_ATOMIC in slave_enable_netpoll() and __netpoll_setup() slave_enable_netpoll() and __netpoll_setup() may be called with read_lock() held, so should use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate memory. Eric suggested to pass gfp flags to __netpoll_setup(). Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: "David S. Miller" Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller The reason for the gfp parameter was removed in: commit c4cdef9b7183159c23c7302aaf270d64c549f557 Author: dingtianhong Date: Tue Jul 23 15:25:27 2013 +0800 bonding: don't call slave_xxx_netpoll under spinlocks The slave_xxx_netpoll will call synchronize_rcu_bh(), so the function may schedule and sleep, it should't be called under spinlocks. bond_netpoll_setup() and bond_netpoll_cleanup() are always protected by rtnl lock, it is no need to take the read lock, as the slave list couldn't be changed outside rtnl lock. Signed-off-by: Ding Tianhong Cc: Jay Vosburgh Cc: Andy Gospodarek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Nothing else that calls __netpoll_setup or ndo_netpoll_setup requires a gfp paramter, so remove the gfp parameter from both of these functions making the code clearer. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

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: 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

random32: add prandom_u32_max and convert open coded users

2014-01-22T07:17:20+00:00

Many functions have open coded a function that returns a random number in range [0,N-1]. Under the assumption that we have a PRNG such as taus113 with being well distributed in [0, ~0U] space, we can implement such a function as uword t = (n*m')>>32, where m' is a random number obtained from PRNG, n the right open interval border and t our resulting random number, with n,m',t in u32 universe. Lets go with Joe and simply call it prandom_u32_max(), although technically we have an right open interval endpoint, but that we have documented. Other users can further be migrated to the new prandom_u32_max() function later on; for now, we need to make sure to migrate reciprocal_divide() users for the reciprocal_divide() follow-up fixup since their function signatures are going to change.

team: block mtu change before it happens via NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU

2014-01-17T01:15:42+00:00

Now it catches the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU notification, which is signaled after the actual change happened on the device, and returns NOTIFY_BAD, so that the change on the device is reverted. This might be quite costly and messy, so use the new NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU to catch the MTU change before the actual change happens and signal that it's forbidden to do it.
