ifb: fix oops when loading the ifb failed

2013-07-11T19:00:05+00:00

If __rtnl_link_register() return faild when loading the ifb, it will
take the wrong path and get oops, so fix it just like dummy.

ifb: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls

2013-07-11T01:44:03+00:00

According to the commit 16b0dc29c1af9df341428f4c49ada4f626258082
(dummy: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls)

Eric Dumazet fix the problem in dummy, but the ifb will occur the
same problem like the dummy modules.

Trying to "modprobe ifb numifbs=30000" triggers :

INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU

After this splat, RTNL is locked and reboot is needed.

We must call cond_resched() to avoid this, even holding RTNL.

net: vlan: rename NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_* feature flags to NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_*

2013-04-19T18:45:26+00:00

Rename the hardware VLAN acceleration features to include "CTAG" to indicate
that they only support CTAGs. Follow up patches will introduce 802.1ad
server provider tagging (STAGs) and require the distinction for hardware not
supporting acclerating both.

net: replace random_ether_addr() with eth_hw_addr_random()

2012-02-15T20:34:16+00:00

Replace usage of random_ether_addr() with eth_hw_addr_random()
to set addr_assign_type correctly to NET_ADDR_RANDOM.

Change the trivial cases.

v2: adapt to renamed eth_hw_addr_random()

net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bit

2011-11-16T22:43:12+00:00

Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.

For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING cleared

2011-07-28T05:39:30+00:00

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
