vio: fix reuse of vio_dring slot

2014-11-19T11:32:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit d0aedcd4f14a22e23b313f42b7e6e6ebfc0fbc31 ]

vio_dring_avail() will allow use of every dring entry, but when the last
entry is allocated then dr->prod == dr->cons which is indistinguishable from
the ring empty condition. This causes the next allocation to reuse an entry.
When this happens in sunvdc, the server side vds driver begins nack'ing the
messages and ends up resetting the ldc channel. This problem does not effect
sunvnet since it checks for < 2.

The fix here is to just never allocate the very last dring slot so that full
and empty are not the same condition. The request start path was changed to
check for the ring being full a bit earlier, and to stop the blk_queue if
there is no space left. The blk_queue will be restarted once the ring is
only half full again. The number of ring entries was increased to 512 which
matches the sunvnet and Solaris vdc drivers, and greatly reduces the
frequency of hitting the ring full condition and the associated blk_queue
stop/starting. The checks in sunvent were adjusted to account for
vio_dring_avail() returning 1 less.

sunvnet: clean up objects created in vnet_new() on vnet_exit()

2014-07-29T15:01:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit a4b70a07ed12a71131cab7adce2ce91c71b37060 ]

Nothing cleans up the objects created by
vnet_new(), they are completely leaked.

vnet_exit(), after doing the vio_unregister_driver() to clean
up ports, should call a helper function that iterates over vnet_list
and cleans up those objects. This includes unregister_netdevice()
as well as free_netdev().

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
 "Noteworthy changes this time around:

   1) Multicast rejoin support for team driver, from Jiri Pirko.

   2) Centralize and simplify TCP RTT measurement handling in order to
      reduce the impact of bad RTO seeding from SYN/ACKs.  Also, when
      both timestamps and local RTT measurements are available prefer
      the later because there are broken middleware devices which
      scramble the timestamp.

      From Yuchung Cheng.

   3) Add TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option to limit the amount of kernel
      memory consumed to queue up unsend user data.  From Eric Dumazet.

   4) Add a "physical port ID" abstraction for network devices, from
      Jiri Pirko.

   5) Add a "suppress" operation to influence fib_rules lookups, from
      Stefan Tomanek.

   6) Add a networking development FAQ, from Paul Gortmaker.

   7) Extend the information provided by tcp_probe and add ipv6 support,
      from Daniel Borkmann.

   8) Use RCU locking more extensively in openvswitch data paths, from
      Pravin B Shelar.

   9) Add SCTP support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer.

  10) Add EF10 chip support to SFC driver, from Ben Hutchings.

  11) Add new SYNPROXY netfilter target, from Patrick McHardy.

  12) Compute a rate approximation for sending in TCP sockets, and use
      this to more intelligently coalesce TSO frames.  Furthermore, add
      a new packet scheduler which takes advantage of this estimate when
      available.  From Eric Dumazet.

  13) Allow AF_PACKET fanouts with random selection, from Daniel
      Borkmann.

  14) Add ipv6 support to vxlan driver, from Cong Wang"

net: sunhme: use pci_{get,set}_drvdata()

2013-09-04T02:38:46+00:00

Use the wrapper functions for getting and setting the driver data
using pci_dev instead of using dev_{get,set}_drvdata() with
&pdev->dev, so we can directly pass a struct pci_dev. This is
a purely cosmetic change.

sysfs.h: remove attr_name() macro

2013-08-22T17:25:34+00:00

Gotta love a macro that doesn't reduce the typing you have to do.

Also, only the driver core, and one network driver uses this.  The
driver core functions will be going away soon, and I'll convert the
network driver soon to not need this as well, so delete it for now
before anyone else gets some bright ideas and wants to use it.
