net: Change netdev_fix_features messages loglevel

2011-05-16T19:14:21+00:00

Those reduced to DEBUG can possibly be triggered by unprivileged processes
and are nothing exceptional. Illegal checksum combinations can only be
caused by driver bug, so promote those messages to WARN.

Since GSO without SG will now only cause DEBUG message from
netdev_fix_features(), remove the workaround from register_netdevice().

net: dev_close() should check IFF_UP

2011-05-10T22:03:33+00:00

Commit 443457242beb (factorize sync-rcu call in
unregister_netdevice_many) mistakenly removed one test from dev_close()

Following actions trigger a BUG :

modprobe bonding
modprobe dummy
ifconfig bond0 up
ifenslave bond0 dummy0
rmmod dummy

dev_close() must not close a non IFF_UP device.

networking: inappropriate ioctl operation should return ENOTTY

2011-05-02T22:41:29+00:00

ioctl() calls against a socket with an inappropriate ioctl operation
are incorrectly returning EINVAL rather than ENOTTY:

  [ENOTTY]
      Inappropriate I/O control operation.

net: Disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN when TSO is disabled

2011-04-13T02:29:45+00:00

NETIF_F_TSO_ECN has no effect when TSO is disabled; this just means
that feature state will be accurately reported to user-space.

net: Disable all TSO features when SG is disabled

2011-04-13T02:29:45+00:00

The feature flags NETIF_F_TSO and NETIF_F_TSO6 independently enable
TSO for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.  However, the test in
netdev_fix_features() and its predecessor functions was never updated
to check for NETIF_F_TSO6, possibly because it was originally proposed
that TSO for IPv6 would be dependent on both feature flags.

Now that these feature flags can be changed independently from
user-space and we depend on netdev_fix_features() to fix invalid
feature combinations, it's important to disable them both if
scatter-gather is disabled.  Also disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN so
user-space sees all TSO features as disabled.

netdev: fix mtu check when TSO is enabled

2011-03-30T09:42:17+00:00

In case the device where is coming from the packet has TSO enabled,
we should not check the mtu size value as this one could be bigger
than the expected value.

This is the case for the macvlan driver when the lower device has
TSO enabled. The macvlan inherit this feature and forward the packets
without fragmenting them. Then the packets go through dev_forward_skb
and are dropped. This patch fix this by checking TSO is not enabled
when we want to check the mtu size.

net: fix ethtool->set_flags not intended -EINVAL return value

2011-03-28T06:35:24+00:00

After commit d5dbda23804156ae6f35025ade5307a49d1db6d7 "ethtool: Add
support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX,
and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan
acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that
function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not
match current settings and can not be changed by driver.

Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use
ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future
(also on drivers that do not have the problem).

Tested with modified (to reproduce this bug) myri10ge driver.
