2009-01-26pppol2tp: stop using proc internalsAlexey Dobriyan
PDE_NET usage in driver code is a sign and, indeed, switching to seq_open_net/seq_release_net saves code and fixes bogus things, like user triggerabble BUG_ON(!net) after maybe_get_net, and NULLifying ->private.

Load times for NICs that use i2c to communicate with the phy were taking ~4.5 sec per port.

2009-01-26gianfar: Revive VLAN supportAnton Vorontsov
commit 77ecaf2d5a8bfd548eed3f05c1c2e6573d5de4ba ("gianfar: Fix VLAN HW feature related frame/buffer size calculation") wrongly removed priv->vlgrp assignment, and now priv->vlgrp is always NULL. This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes following sparse warning introduced by the same commit: gianfar.c:1406:13: warning: context imbalance in 'gfar_vlan_rx_register' - wrong count at exit gfar_vlan_rx_register() checks for "if (old_grp == grp)" and tries to return w/o dropping the lock. According to net/8021q/vlan.c VLAN core issues rx_register() callback: 1. In register_vlan_dev() only on a newly created group; 2. In unregister_vlan_dev() only if the group becomes empty. Thus the check in the gianfar driver isn't needed. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com> Acked-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-01-25virtio_net: Fix MAX_PACKET_LEN to support 802.1Q VLANsAlex Williamson
802.1Q expanded the maximum ethernet frame size by 4 bytes for the VLAN tag. We're not taking this into account in virtio_net, which means the buffers we provide to the backend in the virtqueue RX ring aren't big enough to hold a full MTU VLAN packet. For QEMU/KVM, this results in the backend exiting with a packet truncation error.

If we associate with G-band AP only supp_rates of G-band will be set the other band supp_rates will be set to 0.

2009-01-22phylib: Fix oops in suspend/resume pathsAnton Vorontsov
Suspend/resume routines check for phydrv != NULL, but that is wrong because "phydrv" comes from container_of(drv). If drv is NULL, then container_of(drv) will return non-NULL result, and the checks won't work. The Freescale TBI PHYs are driver-less, so "drv" is NULL, and that leads to the following oops: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xffffffe4 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0215554 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [...] NIP [c0215554] mdio_bus_suspend+0x34/0x70 LR [c01cc508] suspend_device+0x258/0x2bc Call Trace: [cfad3da0] [cfad3db8] 0xcfad3db8 (unreliable) [cfad3db0] [c01cc508] suspend_device+0x258/0x2bc [cfad3dd0] [c01cc62c] dpm_suspend+0xc0/0x140 [cfad3e20] [c01cc6f4] device_suspend+0x48/0x5c [cfad3e40] [c0068dd8] suspend_devices_and_enter+0x8c/0x148 [cfad3e60] [c00690f8] enter_state+0x100/0x118 [cfad3e80] [c00691c0] state_store+0xb0/0xe4 [cfad3ea0] [c018c938] kobj_attr_store+0x24/0x3c [cfad3eb0] [c00ea9a8] flush_write_buffer+0x58/0x7c [cfad3ed0] [c00eadf0] sysfs_write_file+0x58/0xa0 [cfad3ef0] [c009e810] vfs_write+0xb4/0x16c [cfad3f10] [c009ed40] sys_write+0x4c/0x90 [cfad3f40] [c0014954] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x38 [...] This patch fixes the issue, plus removes unneeded parentheses and fixes indentation level in mdio_bus_suspend().

2009-01-21tun: There is no longer any need to deny changing network namespacesEric W. Biederman
With the awkward case between free_netdev and dev_chr_close fixed there is no longer any need to limit tun and tap devices to the network namespace they were created in. So remove the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL flag on the network device. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-01-21tun: Fix races between tun_net_close and free_netdev.Eric W. Biederman
The tun code does not cope gracefully if the network device goes away before the tun file descriptor is closed. It looks like we can trigger this with rmmod, and moving tun devices between network namespaces will allow this to be triggered when network namespaces exit. To fix this I introduce an intermediate data structure tun_file which holds a count of users and a pointer to the struct tun_struct. tun_get increments that reference count if it is greater than 0. tun_put decrements that reference count and detaches from the network device if the count is 0. While we have a file attached to the network device I hold a reference to the network device keeping it from going away completely. When a network device is unregistered I decrement the count of the attached tun_file and if that was the last user I detach the tun_file, and all processes on read_wait are woken up to ensure they do not sleep indefinitely. As some of those sleeps happen with the count on the tun device elevated waking up the read waiters ensures that tun_file will be detached in a timely manner. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-01-21tun: Move read_wait into tun_fileEric W. Biederman
The poll interface requires that the waitqueue exist while the struct file is open. In the rare case when a tun device disappears before the tun file closes we fail to provide this property, so move read_wait. This is safe now that tun_net_xmit is atomic with tun_detach.

2009-01-21tun: Make tun_net_xmit atomic wrt tun_attach && tun_detachEric W. Biederman
Currently this small race allows for a packet to be received when we detach from an tun device and still be enqueued. Not especially important but not what the code is trying to do. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-01-21tun: Grab the netns in open.Eric W. Biederman
Grabbing namespaces in open, and putting them in close always seems to be the cleanest approach with the fewest surprises. So now that we have tun_file so we have somepleace to put the network namespace, let's grab the network namespace on file open and put on file close. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-01-21tun: Introduce tun_fileEric W. Biederman
Currently the tun code suffers from only having a single word of data that exists for the entire life of the tun file descriptor. This results in peculiar holding of references to the network namespace as well as races between free_netdevice and tun_chr_close. Fix this by introducing tun_file which will hold the per file state. For the moment it still holds just a single word so the differences are all logic changes with no changes in semantics. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-01-21tun: Use POLLERR not EBADF in tun_chr_pollEric W. Biederman
EBADF is meaningless in the context of a poll mask so use POLLERR instead. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
