net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING cleared

2011-08-16T01:31:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 550fd08c2cebad61c548def135f67aba284c6162 ] After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in their skbs. There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of course, and need to be fixed up. This patch identifies those drivers, and marks them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags Signed-off-by: Neil Horman CC: Karsten Keil CC: "David S.

tun: teach the tun/tap driver to support netpoll

2011-06-17T03:53:10+00:00

Commit 8d8fc29d02a33e4bd5f4fa47823c1fd386346093 changed the behavior of slave devices in regards to netpoll. Specifically it created a mutually exclusive relationship between being a slave and a netpoll-capable device. This creates problems for KVM because guests relied on needing netconsole active on a slave device to a bridge. Ideally libvirtd could just attach netconsole to the bridge device instead, but thats currently infeasible, because while the bridge device supports netpoll, it requires that all slave interface also support it, but the tun/tap driver currently does not. The most direct solution is to teach tun/tap to support netpoll, which is implemented by the patch below. I've not tested this yet, but its pretty straightforward.

net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice

2011-05-05T17:57:45+00:00

Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit dev_alloc_name() calls. The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains. This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by 84c49d8c3e4abefb0a41a77b25aa37ebe8d6b743 Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API

2011-04-29T21:03:01+00:00

This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated. Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work Signed-off-by: David Decotigny Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: tun: convert to hw_features

2011-04-20T08:30:45+00:00

This changes offload setting behaviour to what I think is correct: - offloads set via ethtool mean what admin wants to use (by default he wants 'em all) - offloads set via ioctl() mean what userspace is expecting to get (this limits which admin wishes are granted) - TUN_NOCHECKSUM is ignored, as it might cause broken packets when forwarded (ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY means that checksum was verified, not that it can be ignored) If TUN_NOCHECKSUM is implemented, it should set skb->csum_* and skb->ip_summed (= CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) for known protocols and let others be verified by kernel when necessary. TUN_NOCHECKSUM handling was introduced by commit f43798c27684ab925adde7d8acc34c78c6e50df8: tun: Allow GSO using virtio_net_hdr Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
