Documentation: fix outdated interpretation of ip_no_pmtu_disc

2021-12-30T13:28:04+00:00

The updating way of pmtu has changed, but documentation is still in the
old way. So this patch updates the interpretation of ip_no_pmtu_disc and
min_pmtu.

See commit 28d35bcdd3925 ("net: ipv4: don't let PMTU updates increase
route MTU")

bonding: fix ad_actor_system option setting to default

2021-12-22T00:54:19+00:00

When 802.3ad bond mode is configured the ad_actor_system option is set to
"00:00:00:00:00:00". But when trying to set the all-zeroes MAC as actors'
system address it was failing with EINVAL.

An all-zeroes ethernet address is valid, only multicast addresses are not
valid values.

docs: networking: replace skb_hwtstamp_tx with skb_tstamp_tx

2021-12-21T02:47:11+00:00

Tiny doc fix. The hardware transmit function was called skb_tstamp_tx
from its introduction in commit ac45f602ee3d ("net: infrastructure for
hardware time stamping") in the same series as this documentation.

ixgbe: Document how to enable NBASE-T support

2021-12-15T19:09:29+00:00

Commit a296d665eae1 ("ixgbe: Add ethtool support to enable 2.5 and 5.0
Gbps support") introduced suppression of the advertisement of NBASE-T
speeds by default, according to Todd Fujinaka to accommodate customers
with network switches which could not cope with advertised NBASE-T
speeds, as posted in the E1000-devel mailing list:

https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/mailman/message/37106269/

However, the suppression was not documented at all, nor was how to
enable NBASE-T support.

Properly document the NBASE-T suppression and how to enable NBASE-T
support.

netfilter: ipvs: Fix reuse connection if RS weight is 0

2021-11-08T10:42:47+00:00

We are changing expire_nodest_conn to work even for reused connections when
conn_reuse_mode=0, just as what was done with commit dc7b3eb900aa ("ipvs:
Fix reuse connection if real server is dead").

For controlled and persistent connections, the new connection will get the
needed real server depending on the rules in ip_vs_check_template().

net: udp: correct the document for udp_mem

2021-11-05T10:42:46+00:00

udp_mem is a vector of 3 INTEGERs, which is used to limit the number of
pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets.

However, sk_has_memory_pressure() in __sk_mem_raise_allocated() always
return false for udp, as memory pressure is not supported by udp, which
means that __sk_mem_raise_allocated() will fail once pages allocated
for udp socket exceeds udp_mem[0].

Therefor, udp_mem[0] is the only one that limit the number of pages.
However, the document of udp_mem just express that udp_mem[2] is the
limitation. So, just fix it.
