bnx2x: fix checksum validation

2012-06-13T22:58:53+00:00

bnx2x driver incorrectly sets ip_summed to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on
encapsulated segments. TCP stack happily accepts frames with bad
checksums, if they are inside a GRE or IPIP encapsulation.

Our understanding is that if no IP or L4 csum validation was done by the
hardware, we should leave ip_summed as is (CHECKSUM_NONE), since
hardware doesn't provide CHECKSUM_COMPLETE support in its cqe.

Then, if IP/L4 checksumming was done by the hardware, set
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if no error was flagged.

Patch based on findings and analysis from Robert Evans

bonding: Fix corrupted queue_mapping

2012-06-12T22:29:21+00:00

In the transmit path of the bonding driver, skb->cb is used to
stash the skb->queue_mapping so that the bonding device can set its
own queue mapping.  This value becomes corrupted since the skb->cb is
also used in __dev_xmit_skb.

When transmitting through bonding driver, bond_select_queue is
called from dev_queue_xmit.  In bond_select_queue the original
skb->queue_mapping is copied into skb->cb (via bond_queue_mapping)
and skb->queue_mapping is overwritten with the bond driver queue.

Subsequently in dev_queue_xmit, __dev_xmit_skb is called which writes
the packet length into skb->cb, thereby overwriting the stashed
queue mappping.  In bond_dev_queue_xmit (called from hard_start_xmit),
the queue mapping for the skb is set to the stashed value which is now
the skb length and hence is an invalid queue for the slave device.

If we want to save skb->queue_mapping into skb->cb[], best place is to
add a field in struct qdisc_skb_cb, to make sure it wont conflict with
other layers (eg : Qdiscc, Infiniband...)

This patchs also makes sure (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data is aligned on 8
bytes :

netem qdisc for example assumes it can store an u64 in it, without
misalignment penalty.

Note : we only have 20 bytes left in (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data[].
The largest user is CHOKe and it fills it.

Based on a previous patch from Tom Herbert.

bonding:record primary when modify it via sysfs

2012-06-12T22:23:11+00:00

If we modify primary via sysfs and it is not a valid slave,
we should record it for future use, and this behavior is the same with
bond_check_params().

tilegx network driver: initial support

2012-06-12T00:01:26+00:00

This change adds support for the tilegx network driver based on the
GXIO IORPC support in the tilegx software stack, using the on-chip
mPIPE packet processing engine.

net: stmmac: Fix clock en-/disable calls

2012-06-11T23:48:15+00:00

clk_{un}prepare is mandatory for platforms using common clock framework.
Since these drivers are used by SPEAr platform, which supports common
clock framework, add clk_{un}prepare() support for them. Otherwise
the clocks are not correctly en-/disabled and ethernet support doesn't
work.

lpc_eth: fix tx completion

2012-06-11T20:12:33+00:00

__lpc_handle_xmit() has two bugs :

1) It can leak skbs in case TXSTATUS_ERROR is set

2) It can wake up txqueue while no slot was freed.

lpc_eth: add missing ndo_change_mtu()

2012-06-11T20:12:26+00:00

lpc_eth does a copy of transmitted skbs to DMA area, without checking
skb lengths, so can trigger buffer overflows :

memcpy(pldat->tx_buff_v + txidx * ENET_MAXF_SIZE, skb->data, len);

One way to get bigger skbs is to allow MTU changes above the 1500 limit.

Calling eth_change_mtu() in ndo_change_mtu() makes sure this cannot
happen.
