2010-02-12virtio_net: remove send queueShirley Ma
Now we have a virtio detach API (in commit f9bfbebf34eab707b065116cdc9699d25ba4252a), we don't need to track xmit skbs in the virio_net driver, which improves transmission performance.

2010-02-12net: Micrel KSZ8841/2 PCI Ethernet driverTristram Ha
This is a new network driver for Micrel KSZ8841/KSZ8842 PCI Ethernet chips. The same driver can run both chips at the same time. It supports IPv4 TCP hardware checksumming and so can use scatter/gather transmission. The KSZ8842 switch has 2 ports. Some users like to take direct control of those ports. So KSZ8842 has a multiple devices mode in which the driver creates another network device so that users can specify which port to send packets. This mode is enabled by passing the "multi_dev=1" parameter to the driver during loading. The KSZ884X can receive huge frames with size up to 1916 bytes. To use this feature change the network device MTU from 1500 to 1898. The KSZ884X driver has 3 packet receive processing functions for the normal mode, multiple devices mode, and huge frame mode. Those functions are identical except for more checking for the new features. In normal programming point of view the huge frame version is the one to use because it covers all the cases, but this is done for performance consideration because the target clients for the KSZ884X chips are embedded systems, which unlike desktop PC may not have powerful CPU.

2010-02-12net: move am79c961's probe function to .devinit.textUwe Kleine-König
A pointer to am79c961_probe is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late. An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.

2010-02-12ipv6: fib: fix crash when changing large fib while dumping itPatrick McHardy
When the fib size exceeds what can be dumped in a single skb, the dump is suspended and resumed once the last skb has been received by userspace.

2010-02-12mac80211: fix handling of null-rate control in rate_control_get_rateJuuso Oikarinen
For hardware with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL the rate controller is not initialized. However, calling functions such as ieee80211_beacon_get result in the rate_control_get_rate function getting called, which is accessing (in this case uninitialized) rate control structures unconditionally. Fix by exiting the function before setting the rates for HW with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL set. The initialization of the ieee80211_tx_info struct is intentionally still executed.

2010-02-12dccp: allow probing of CCID-array lengthGerrit Renker
This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until EINVAL is no longer returned. This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made when the length is <= 0. Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3 CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).

2010-02-12inet: Remove bogus IGMPv3 report handlingHerbert Xu
Currently we treat IGMPv3 reports as if it were an IGMPv2/v1 report. This is broken as IGMPv3 reports are formatted differently. So we end up suppressing a bogus multicast group (which should be harmless as long as the leading reserved field is zero). In fact, IGMPv3 does not allow membership report suppression so we should simply ignore IGMPv3 membership reports as a host. This patch does exactly that. I kept the case statement for it so people won't accidentally add it back thinking that we overlooked this case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-12ath9k: add a workaround for ack timeout issuesFelix Fietkau
Adding support for setting the coverage class in some cases broke association and data transfer, as it overwrote the initial ACK timeout value from the initvals with a smaller value. I don't know why the new value works in 5 GHz (matches the initval there), but not in 2.4 GHz (initvals use 64us here), so until the problem is fully understood, the value should be increased again.

2010-02-10tcp: fix ICMP-RTO warDamian Lukowski
Make sure, that TCP has a nonzero RTT estimation after three-way handshake. Currently, a listening TCP has a value of 0 for srtt, rttvar and rto right after the three-way handshake is completed with TCP timestamps disabled. This will lead to corrupt RTO recalculation and retransmission flood when RTO is recalculated on backoff reversion as introduced in "Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable" (f1ecd5d9e7366609d640ff4040304ea197fbc618). This behaviour can be provoked by connecting to a server which "responds first" (like SMTP) and rejecting every packet after the handshake with dest-unreachable, which will lead to softirq load on the server (up to 30% per socket in some tests).

2010-02-10via-velocity: Fix races on shared interruptsSimon Kagstrom
This patch fixes two potential races in the velocity driver: * Move the ACK and error handler to the interrupt handler. This fixes a potential race with shared interrupts when the other device interrupts before the NAPI poll handler has finished. As the velocity driver hasn't acked it's own interrupt, it will then steal the interrupt from the other device. * Use spin_lock_irqsave in velocity_poll. In the current code, the interrupt handler will deadlock if e.g., the NAPI poll handler is executing when an interrupt (for another device) comes in since it tries to take the already held lock. Also unlock the spinlock only after enabling the interrupt in velocity_poll. The error path is moved to the interrupt handler since this is where the ISR is checked now.
