2014-03-27tipc: convert tipc_bearers array to pointer listYing Xue3-15/+38
As part of the effort to introduce RCU protection for the bearer list, we first need to change it to a list of pointers.

2014-03-27tipc: acquire necessary locks in named_cluster_distribute routineYing Xue1-3/+11
The 'tipc_node_list' is guarded by tipc_net_lock and 'links' array defined in 'tipc_node' structure is protected by node lock as well. Without acquiring the two locks in named_cluster_distribute() a fatal oops may happen in case that a destroyed link might be got and then accessed. Therefore, above mentioned two locks must be held in named_cluster_distribute() to prevent the issue from happening accidentally. As 'links' array in node struct must be protected by node lock, we have to move the code of selecting an active link from tipc_link_xmit() to named_cluster_distribute() and then call __tipc_link_xmit() with the selected link to deliver name messages.

2014-03-27tipc: obsolete the remote management featureYing Xue5-121/+3
Due to the lacking of any credential, it's allowed to accept commands requested from remote nodes to query the local node status, which is prone to involve potential security risks. Instead, if we login to a remote node with ssh command, this approach is not only more safe than the remote management feature, but also it can give us more permissions like changing the remote node configuration. So it's reasonable for us to obsolete the remote management feature now. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Reviewed-by: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-27bonding: support QinQ for bond arp intervaldingtianhong2-18/+50
The bond send arp request to indicate that the slave is active, and if the bond dev is a vlan dev, it will set the vlan tag in skb to notice the vlan group, but the bond could only send a skb with 802.1q proto, not support for QinQ. So add outer tag for lower vlan tag and inner tag for upper vlan tag to support QinQ, The new skb will be consist of two vlan tag just like this: dst mac | src mac | outer vlan tag | inner vlan tag | data | ..... If We don't need QinQ, the inner vlan tag could be set to 0 and use outer vlan tag as a normal vlan group.

2014-03-27xen-netback: Stop using xenvif_tx_pending_slots_availableZoltan Kiss3-20/+4
Since the early days TX stops if there isn't enough free pending slots to consume a maximum sized (slot-wise) packet. Probably the reason for that is to avoid the case when we don't have enough free pending slot in the ring to finish the packet. But if we make sure that the pending ring has the same size as the shared ring, that shouldn't really happen. The frontend can only post packets which fit the to the free space of the shared ring. If it doesn't, the frontend has to stop, as it can only increase the req_prod when the whole packet fits onto the ring. This patch avoid using this checking, makes sure the 2 ring has the same size, and remove a checking from the callback. As now we don't stop the NAPI instance on this condition, we don't have to wake it up if we free pending slots up. Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-26bnx2x: Remove the sriov VFOP mechanismYuval Mintz5-1954/+622
Since we now posses a workqueue dedicated for sriov, the paradigm that sriov- related tasks cannot sleep is no longer correct. The VFOP mechanism was the one previously supporting said paradigm - the sriov related tasks were broken into segments which did not require sleep, and the mechanism re-scheduled the next segment whenever possible. This patch remvoes the VFOP mechanism altogether - the resulting code is a much easier to follow code; The segments are gathered into straight-forward functions which sleep whenever neccessary.

2014-03-26bnx2x: Create workqueue for IOV related tasksYuval Mintz5-78/+147
The bnx2x sriov mechanisms were done in the bnx2x slowpath workitem which runs on the bnx2x's workqueue; This workitem is also responsible for the bottom half of interrupt handling in the driver, and specifically it also receives FW notifications of ramrod completions, allowing other flows to progress. The original design of the sriov reltaed-flows was based on the notion such flows must not sleep, since their context is the slowpath workitem. Otherwise, we might reach timeouts - those flows may wait for ramrod completion that will never arrive as the workitem wlll not be re-scheduled until that same flow will be over. In more recent time bnx2x started supporting features in which the VF interface can be configured by the tools accessing the PF on the hypervisor. This support created possible races on the VF-PF lock (which is taken either when the PF is handling a VF message or when the PF is doing some slowpath work on behalf of the VF) which may cause timeouts on the VF side and lags on the PF side. This patch changes the scheme - it creates a new workqueue for sriov related tasks and moves all handling currently done in the slowpath task into the the new workqueue.

2014-03-26atm: firestream: Use del_timer_sync() in teardown pathThomas Gleixner1-1/+1
The device is about to vanish. So we need to make sure that the timer is completely stopped and the callback is not running on another CPU.

2014-03-26mlx4: Use actual number of PCI functions (PF + VFs) for alias GUID logicMatan Barak1-1/+1
The code which is dealing with SRIOV alias GUIDs in the mlx4 IB driver has some logic which operated according to the maximal possible active functions (PF + VFs). After the single port VFs code integration this resulted in a flow of false-positive warnings going to the kernel log after the PF driver started the alias GUID work. Fix it by referring to the actual number of functions. Signed-off-by: Matan Barak <matanb@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
