2009-04-20net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.Jarek Poplawski
Alex Sidorenko reported: "while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some hosts but not on others. After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That is: - if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected - if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay" This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit() on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active. Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host, tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the outside.

When vlan acceleration is used on receive, the vlan tag is maintained outside of the skb data. The existing vlan tag match only works on TX path because it uses vlan_get_tag which tests for VLAN_HW_TX_ACCEL. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-15pkt_sched: Change misleading code in class delete.Jarek Poplawski
While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858 I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock. This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds, which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

A commit c1b56878fb68e9c14070939ea4537ad4db79ffae "tc: policing requires a rate estimator" introduced a test which invalidates previously working configs, based on examples from iproute2: doc/actions/actions-general.

2009-01-04net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28Michael Marineau
From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org> Commit b47300168e770b60ab96c8924854c3b0eb4260eb "Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device. Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on __LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3], and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link, I don't know if and when it may get set.) The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time out the first time. The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call entirely as the previous fix did.
