2012-05-08netfilter: bridge: optionally set indev to vlanPablo Neira Ayuso
if net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged sysctl is enabled, bridge netfilter removes the vlan header temporarily and then feeds the packet to ip(6)tables. When the new "bridge-nf-pass-vlan-input-device" sysctl is on (default off), then bridge netfilter will also set the in-interface to the vlan interface; if such an interface exists. This is needed to make iptables REDIRECT target work with "vlan-on-top-of-bridge" setups and to allow use of "iptables -i" to match the vlan device name. Also update Documentation with current brnf default settings.

2012-05-08netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignmentEric Leblond
This patch allows you to disable automatic conntrack helper lookup based on TCP/UDP ports, eg. echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper [ Note: flows that already got a helper will keep using it even if automatic helper assignment has been disabled ] Once this behaviour has been disabled, you have to explicitly use the iptables CT target to attach helper to flows. There are good reasons to stop supporting automatic helper assignment, for further information, please read: http://www.netfilter.org/news.html#2012-04-03 This patch also adds one message to inform that automatic helper assignment is deprecated and it will be removed soon (this is spotted only once, with the first flow that gets a helper attached to make it as less annoying as possible).

2012-05-07netdev/of/phy: Add MDIO bus multiplexer support.David Daney
This patch adds a somewhat generic framework for MDIO bus multiplexers. It is modeled on the I2C multiplexer. The multiplexer is needed if there are multiple PHYs with the same address connected to the same MDIO bus adepter, or if there is insufficient electrical drive capability for all the connected PHY devices. Conceptually it could look something like this: ------------------ | Control Signal | --------+--------- | --------------- --------+------ | MDIO MASTER |---| Multiplexer | --------------- --+-------+---- | | C C h h i i l l d d | | --------- A B --------- | | | | | | | PHY@1 +-------+ +---+ PHY@1 | | | | | | | --------- | | --------- --------- | | --------- | | | | | | | PHY@2 +-------+ +---+ PHY@2 | | | | | --------- --------- This framework configures the bus topology from device tree data. The mechanics of switching the multiplexer is left to device specific drivers. The follow-on patch contains a multiplexer driven by GPIO lines.

2012-05-07netdev/of/phy: New function: of_mdio_find_bus().David Daney
Add of_mdio_find_bus() which allows an mii_bus to be located given its associated the device tree node. This is needed by the follow-on patch to add a driver for MDIO bus multiplexers. The of_mdiobus_register() function is modified so that the device tree node is recorded in the mii_bus. Then we can find it again by iterating over all mdio_bus_class devices. Because the OF device tree has now become an integral part of the kernel, this can live in mdio_bus.c (which contains the needed mdio_bus_class structure) instead of of_mdio.c.

The fast-path for pskb_expand_head contains a check where the size plus the unaligned size of skb_shared_info is compared against the size of the data buffer. This code path has two issues. First is the fact that after the recent changes by Eric Dumazet to __alloc_skb and build_skb the shared info is always placed in the optimal spot for a buffer size making this check unnecessary. The second issue is the fact that the check doesn't take into account the aligned size of shared info. As a result the code burns cycles doing a memcpy with nothing actually being shifted.

Some RNDIS devices include a bogus CDC Union descriptor pointing to non-existing interfaces. The RNDIS code is already prepared to handle devices without a CDC Union descriptor by hardwiring the driver to use interfaces 0 and 1, which is correct for the devices with the bogus descriptor as well. So we can reuse the existing workaround.

2012-05-06bnx2x: bug fix when loading after SAN bootAriel Elior
This is a bug fix for an "interface fails to load" issue. The issue occurs when bnx2x driver loads after UNDI driver was previously loaded over the chip. In such a scenario the UNDI driver is loaded and operates in the pre-boot kernel, within its own specific host memory address range. When the pre-boot stage is complete, the real kernel is loaded, in a new and distinct host memory address range. The transition from pre-boot stage to boot is asynchronous from UNDI point of view. A race condition occurs when UNDI driver triggers a DMAE transaction to valid host addresses in the pre-boot stage, when control is diverted to the real kernel. This results in access to illegal addresses by our HW as the addresses which were valid in the preboot stage are no longer considered valid. Specifically, the 'was_error' bit in the pci glue of our device is set. This causes all following pci transactions from chip to host to timeout (in accordance to the pci spec).

igb and ixgbe incorrectly call netdev_tx_reset_queue() from i{gb|xgbe}_clean_tx_ring() this sort of works in most cases except when the number of real tx queues changes. When the number of real tx queues changes netdev_tx_reset_queue() only gets called on the new number of queues so when we reduce the number of queues we risk triggering the watchdog timer and repeated device resets.

2012-05-04ixgbe: Reorder the ring to q_vector mapping to improve performanceAlexander Duyck
This change reorders the mapping of rings to q_vectors in the case that the number of rings exceeds the number of q_vectors. Previously we would allocate the first R/N queues to the first q_vector where R is the number of rings and N is the number of q_vectors. Instead of doing this we can do a better job of interleaving the rings to the CPUs by assigning every Nth ring to the q_vector. The below tables illustrate this change for the R = 16 N = 4 case. Before patch After patch q_vector: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 Rings: 0 4 8 12 0 1 2 3 1 5 9 13 4 5 6 7 3 6 10 14 8 9 10 11 4 7 11 15 12 13 14 15 This should improve the performance for both DCB or ATR when the number of rings exceeds the number of q_vectors allocated by the adapter.
