wan: dscc4: use msecs_to_jiffies for conversions

2015-06-08T06:45:39+00:00

API compliance scanning with coccinelle flagged:
./drivers/net/wan/dscc4.c:1036:1-33:
        WARNING: timeout (10) seems HZ dependent

./drivers/net/wan/dscc4.c:599:2-34:
        WARNING: timeout (10) seems HZ dependent

Numeric constants passed to schedule_timeout_*() make the effective
timeout HZ dependent which does not seem to be the intent here.
Fixed up by converting the constant to jiffies with msecs_to_jiffies(),
passing 100ms (assuming HZ==100 in the original code).

cosa: use msecs_to_jiffies for conversions

API compliance scanning with coccinelle flagged:

Numeric constants passed to schedule_timeout() make the effective
timeout HZ dependent which makes little sense in a device probe.

cosa: fix error return code

2015-04-07T19:21:55+00:00

Return a negative error code on failure.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@@
identifier ret; expression e1,e2;
@@
(
if (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
 { ... return ret; }

wan: cosa: replace current->state by set_current_state()

2015-02-22T20:24:10+00:00

Use helper functions to access current->state.
Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy.

current->state = TASK_RUNNING is replaced by __set_current_state()

net: wan: add missing virt_to_bus dependencies

2015-01-29T23:08:21+00:00

The cosa driver is rather outdated and does not get built on most
platforms because it requires the ISA_DMA_API symbol. However
there are some ARM platforms that have ISA_DMA_API but no virt_to_bus,
and they get this build error when enabling the ltpc driver.

drivers/net/wan/cosa.c: In function 'tx_interrupt':
drivers/net/wan/cosa.c:1768:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'virt_to_bus'
   unsigned long addr = virt_to_bus(cosa->txbuf);
   ^

The same problem exists for the Hostess SV-11 and Sealevel Systems 4021
drivers.

This adds another dependency in Kconfig to avoid that configuration.

net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support

2014-10-07T17:22:11+00:00

Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.

Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.

Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y

The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.

This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.

Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :

	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
	netif_keep_dst(dev);

Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.

The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.
