2014-03-31ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.Richard Cochran
This commit adds a new ethtool ioctl that exposes the SO_TIMESTAMPING capabilities of a network interface. In addition, user space programs can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device associated with the interface. Since software receive time stamps are handled by the stack, the generic ethtool code can answer the query correctly in case the MAC or PHY drivers lack special time stamping features.

2014-03-31ethtool: Centralise validation of ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFHINDIR parametersBen Hutchings
Add a new ethtool operation (get_rxfh_indir_size) to get the indirectional table size. Use this to validate the user buffer size before calling get_rxfh_indir or set_rxfh_indir. Use get_rxnfc to get the number of RX rings, and validate the contents of the new indirection table before calling set_rxfh_indir. Remove this validation from drivers.

2011-11-11net: hold sock reference while processing tx timestampsRichard Cochran
commit da92b194cc36b5dc1fbd85206aeeffd80bee0c39 upstream. The pair of functions, * skb_clone_tx_timestamp() * skb_complete_tx_timestamp() were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the socket's error queue. As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too. These functions first appeared in v2.6.36.

2011-11-11rtnetlink: Add missing manual netlink notification in dev_change_net_namespacesEric W. Biederman
commit d2237d35748e7f448a9c2d9dc6a85ef637466e24 upstream. Renato Westphal noticed that since commit a2835763e130c343ace5320c20d33c281e7097b7 "rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manually" was merged we no longer send a netlink message when a networking device is moved from one network namespace to another. Fix this by adding the missing manual notification in dev_change_net_namespaces. Since all network devices that are processed by dev_change_net_namspaces are in the initialized state the complicated tests that guard the manual rtmsg_ifinfo calls in rollback_registered and register_netdevice are unnecessary and we can just perform a plain notification.

Copy the userspace fragments to avoid blocking the sender in that case.

2011-08-24arp: fix rcu lockdep splat in arp_process()Eric Dumazet
Dave Jones reported a lockdep splat triggered by an arp_process() call from parp_redo(). Commit faa9dcf793be (arp: RCU changes) is the origin of the bug, since it assumed arp_process() was called under rcu_read_lock(), which is not true in this particular path.

2011-08-06net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.David S. Miller
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by some drivers as they keep state information in skbs. This patch adds a flag marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path. Drivers are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can handle shared skbs.

2011-07-11neigh: Store hash shift instead of mask.David S. Miller
And mask the hash function result by simply shifting down the "->hash_shift" most significant bits. Currently which bits we use is arbitrary since jhash produces entropy evenly across the whole hash function result. But soon we'll be using universal hashing functions, and in those cases more entropy exists in the higher bits than the lower bits, because they use multiplies. Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-07-07skbuff: skb supports zero-copy buffersShirley Ma
This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb has gone). If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long. Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Just add GSO to vlan_features initialization, and update comments. When we set offload features, vlan_dev_fix_features() will do more check.

Unused symbols waste space. Commit 0e34e93177fb "(netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devices)" added the symbol more than a year ago with the promise of "future use". Because it is so far unused, remove it for now.

2011-07-01ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-07-01rtnl: provide link dump consistency infoThomas Graf
This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place, the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages of the same dump. Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a complete list of links and not miss any. Testing: I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set. I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

2011-06-21core: add tracepoints for queueing skb to rcvbufSatoru Moriya
This patch adds 2 tracepoints to get a status of a socket receive queue and related parameter. One tracepoint is added to sock_queue_rcv_skb. It records rcvbuf size and its usage. The other tracepoint is added to __sk_mem_schedule and it records limitations of memory for sockets and current usage. By using these tracepoints we're able to know detailed reason why kernel drop the packet.
