net: Fix issue with netdev_tx_reset_queue not resetting queue from XOFF state

2012-05-12T16:32:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5c4903549c05bbb373479e0ce2992573c120654a ]

We are seeing dev_watchdog hangs on several drivers.  I suspect this is due
to the __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF bit being set prior to a reset for link
change, and then not being cleared by netdev_tx_reset_queue.  This change
corrects that.

In addition we were seeing dev_watchdog hangs on igb after running the
ethtool tests.  We found this to be due to the fact that the ethtool test
runs the same logic as ndo_start_xmit, but we were never clearing the XOFF
flag since the loopback test in ethtool does not do byte queue accounting.

net: Add memory barriers to prevent possible race in byte queue limits

2012-05-12T16:32:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit b37c0fbe3f6dfba1f8ad2aed47fb40578a254635 ]

This change adds a memory barrier to the byte queue limit code to address a
possible race as has been seen in the past with the
netif_stop_queue/netif_wake_queue logic.

net: fix /proc/net/dev regression

2012-04-27T17:16:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2def16ae6b0c77571200f18ba4be049b03d75579 ]

Commit f04565ddf52 (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second
regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many
devices are defined.

When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is
canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call)

Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right
position in ->start() method.

Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since
we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer.

This also reverts commit 5cac98dd0 (net: Fix corruption
in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

  percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants

Fix up conflict in arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h due to clash with
cebef5beed3d ("x86: Fix and improve percpu_cmpxchg{8,16}b_double()")
which edited the (now removed) irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg*_double code.

net: introduce netif_addr_lock_nested() and call if when appropriate

2012-01-09T20:46:58+00:00

dev_uc_sync() and dev_mc_sync() are acquiring netif_addr_lock for
destination device of synchronization. Since netif_addr_lock is
already held at the time for source device, this triggers lockdep
deadlock warning.

There's no way this deadlock can happen so use spin_lock_nested() to
silence the warning.

netdev: FCoE: Add new ndo_get_fcoe_hbainfo() call

2012-01-05T18:12:04+00:00

This adds a new ndo_get_fcoe_hbainfo() call in
net_device_ops for FCoE protocol stack.

If supported by the underlying device, the FCoE protocol
stack will call this to get device specific information
from the underlying device.
This information will then be utilized by the FCoE protocol
stack to register Fiber Channel HBA attributes with the
Fiber Channel Management Service via Fabric Device
Management Interface (FDMI) as per the T11 FC-GS
specification.

Changes in v2:
- As per comments from David Miller aligning the parameters
of the ndo_get_fcoe_hbainfo()

2011-12-24T21:13:27+00:00

Aim of this patch is to provide full range of rps_flow_cnt on 64bit arches.

Theorical limit on number of flows is 2^32

Fix some buggy RPS/RFS macros as well.

percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants

2011-12-22T18:40:20+00:00

We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of
preemption and interrupt state.  That has no material change for x86
and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations.  However, arches that
do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will
now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption.

-tj: This is part of on-going percpu API cleanup.  For detailed
     discussion of the subject, please refer to the following thread.
