net: usbnet: fix SG initialisation

2014-01-14T07:32:04+00:00

Commit 60e453a940ac ("USBNET: fix handling padding packet")
added an extra SG entry in case padding is necessary, but
failed to update the initialisation of the list. This can
cause list traversal to fall off the end of the list,
resulting in an oops.

usbnet: fix status interrupt urb handling

2013-11-14T07:32:37+00:00

Since commit 7b0c5f21f348a66de495868b8df0284e8dfd6bbf
"sierra_net: keep status interrupt URB active", sierra_net triggers
status interrupt polling before the net_device is opened (in order to
properly receive the sync message response).

To be able to receive further interrupts, the interrupt urb needs to be
re-submitted, so this patch removes the bogus check for netif_running().

usbnet: fix error return code in usbnet_probe()

case instead of 0, as done elsewhere in this function.

USBNET: fix handling padding packet

2013-09-28T19:42:49+00:00

Commit 638c5115a7949(USBNET: support DMA SG) introduces DMA SG
if the usb host controller is capable of building packet from
discontinuous buffers, but missed handling padding packet when
building DMA SG.

This patch attachs the pre-allocated padding packet at the
end of the sg list, so padding packet can be sent to device
if drivers require that.

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"

using eth_random_addr. Set addr_assign_type to let
userspace know the address is random unless it was
overridden by the minidriver.

USBNET: support DMA SG

2013-08-12T19:09:23+00:00

This patch introduces support of DMA SG if the USB host controller
which usbnet device is attached to is capable of building packet from
discontinuous buffers.

The patch supports passing the skb fragment buffers to usb stack directly
via urb->sg.

USBNET: increase max rx/tx qlen for improving USB3 thoughtput

2013-07-28T03:10:57+00:00

The default RX_QLEN()/TX_QLEN() didn't consider super speed
USB device, so only max 4 URBs are scheduled at the same time
for tx/rx, then USB3 NIC can't perform very well.

With this patch, both rx and tx thoughput are increased more than
100Mbps when doing iperf test on ax88179_178a USB 3.0 NIC.

USBNET: centralize computing of max rx/tx qlen

2013-07-28T03:10:57+00:00

This patch centralizes computing of max rx/tx qlen, because:

- RX_QLEN()/TX_QLEN() is called in hot path
- computing depends on device's usb speed, now we have ls/fs, hs, ss,
so more checks need to be involved
- in fact, max rx/tx qlen should not only depend on device USB
speed, but also depend on ethernet link speed, so we need to
consider that in future.
- if SG support is done, max tx qlen may need change too

Generally, hard_mtu and rx_urb_size are changed in bind(), reset()
and link_reset() callback, and change mtu network operation, this
patches introduces the API of usbnet_update_max_qlen(), and calls
it in above path.

Commit 84ebc10294a3d7be4c66f51070b7aedbaa24de9b (USB: remove
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND option) failed to remove all of the usages of
USB_SUSPEND throughout the kernel.  This patch (as1677) removes the
remaining instances of that symbol.
