Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2013-04-30T07:55:20+00:00

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_main.c
	drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h
	include/net/tcp.h
	net/mac802154/mac802154.h

Most conflicts were minor overlapping stuff.

The be2net driver brought in some fixes that added __vlan_put_tag
calls, which in net-next take an additional argument.

net: mac802154: comparision issue of type cast, finding by EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W

2013-04-29T16:29:04+00:00

Change MAC802154_CHAN_NONE from ~(u8)0 to 0xff, or the comparison in
mac802154_wpan_xmit() for ``chan == MAC802154_CHAN_NONE'' will not
succeed.

This bug can be boiled down to ``u8 foo = 0xff; if (foo == ~(u8)0)
[...] else [...]'' where the condition will always take the else
branch.

mac802154: Keep track of the channel when changed

2013-04-08T16:09:18+00:00

Two sections checked whether the current channel != the new channel
without ever setting the current channel variables.

1. net/mac802154/tx.c: Prevent set_channel() from getting called every
time a packet is sent.

2. net/mac802154/mib.c: Lock (pib_lock) accesses to current_channel and
current_page and make sure they are updated when the channel has been
changed.

mac802154: Increase tx_buffer_len

2013-04-07T21:06:43+00:00

Increase the buffer length from 10 to 300 packets. Consider that traffic on
mac802154 devices will often be 6LoWPAN, and a full-length (1280 octet)
IPv6 packet will fragment into 15 6LoWPAN fragments (because the MTU of
IEEE 802.15.4 is 127).  A 300-packet queue is really 20 full-length IPv6
packets.

With a queue length of 10, an entire IPv6 packet was unable to get queued
at one time, causing fragments to be dropped, and making reassembly
impossible.

mac802154: Use netif flow control

2013-04-07T21:06:43+00:00

Use netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue() to control the flow of
packets to mac802154 devices.  Since many IEEE 802.15.4 devices have no
output buffer, and since the mac802154 xmit() function is designed to
block, netif_stop_queue() is called after each packet.

mac802154: Do not try to resend failed packets

2013-04-07T21:06:43+00:00

When ops->xmit() fails, drop the packet. Devices which support hardware
ack and retry (which include all devices currently supported by mainline),
will automatically retry sending the packet (in the hardware) up to 3
times, per the 802.15.4 spec.  There is no need, and it is incorrect to
try to do it in mac802154.

mac802154: add mac802154_dev_get_dsn()

2013-03-26T16:37:58+00:00

Bring-over mac802154_dev_get_dsn() function that was present in the
Linux ZigBee kernel. This function is called by the 6LoWPAN code in
order to properly set the DSN (Data Sequence Number) value in the IEEE
802.15.4 frame.

Merge tag 'driver-core-3.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2013-02-21T20:05:51+00:00

Pull driver core patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1

  There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers
  all over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:

   - add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
     able to check return values.

   - remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

  Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
  updates"

wpan: use stack buffer instead of heap

2013-02-06T20:56:17+00:00

head buffer is only temporary available in mac802154_header_create.
So it's not necessary to put it on the heap.
