2009-06-02Phonet: fix accounting race between gprs_writeable() and gprs_xmit()Rémi Denis-Courmont
In the unlikely event that gprs_writeable() and gprs_xmit() check for writeability at the same, we could stop the device queue forever. Signed-off-by: Rémi Denis-Courmont <remi.denis-courmont@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-06-01IPv6: Add 'autoconf' and 'disable_ipv6' module parametersBrian Haley
Add 'autoconf' and 'disable_ipv6' parameters to the IPv6 module. The first controls if IPv6 addresses are autoconfigured from prefixes received in Router Advertisements. The IPv6 loopback (::1) and link-local addresses are still configured. The second controls if IPv6 addresses are desired at all. No IPv6 addresses will be added to any interfaces.

2009-05-29net: convert unicast addr listJiri Pirko
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes). I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len. The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the change is not so trivial.

2009-05-29tcp: fix loop in ofo handling code and reduce its complexityIlpo Järvinen
Somewhat luckily, I was looking into these parts with very fine comb because I've made somewhat similar changes on the same area (conflicts that arose weren't that lucky though). The loop was very much overengineered recently in commit 915219441d566 (tcp: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it by-hand), while it basically just wants to know if there are skbs after 'skb'. Also it got broken because skb1 = skb->next got translated into skb1 = skb1->next (though abstracted) improperly. Note that 'skb1' is pointing to previous sk_buff than skb or NULL if at head. Two things went wrong: - We'll kfree 'skb' on the first iteration instead of the skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging to recover I think). - The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did. Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the previous-like version. The effective changes against the original can be viewed with: git-diff 915219441d566f1da0caa0e262be49b666159e17^ \ net/ipv4/tcp_input.c | sed -n -e '57,70 p' Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-05-28wimax: Add netlink interface to get device statePaulius Zaleckas
wimax connection manager / daemon has to know what is current state of the device. Previously it was only possible to get notification whet state has changed. Note: By mistake, the new generic netlink's number for WIMAX_GNL_OP_STATE_GET was declared inserting into the existing list of API calls, not appending; thus, it'd break existing API. Fixed by Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> by moving to the tail, where we add to the interface, not modify the interface.

2009-05-27gro: Nasty optimisations for page frags in skb_gro_receiveHerbert Xu

2009-05-27gro: Open-code final pskb_may_pullHerbert Xu

2009-05-27gro: Avoid unnecessary comparison after skb_gro_headerHerbert Xu
For the overwhelming majority of cases, skb_gro_header's return value cannot be NULL. Yet we must check it because of its current form.

2009-05-27gro: Optimise length comparison in skb_gro_headerHerbert Xu
By caching frag0_len, we can avoid checking both frag0 and the length separately in skb_gro_header. This helps as skb_gro_header is called four times per packet which amounts to a few million times at 10Gb/s. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27tcp: Optimise len/mss comparisonHerbert Xu

2009-05-27gro: Only use skb_gro_header for completely non-linear packetsHerbert Xu
Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware header in skb->data with the rest in frags. Since the drivers that need this optimisation all provide completely non-linear packets, we can gain extra optimisations by only performing the frag0 optimisation for completely non-linear packets. In particular, we can simply test frag0 (instead of skb_headlen) to see whether the optimisation is in force. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-05-27gro: Inline skb_gro_header and cache frag0 virtual addressHerbert Xu
The function skb_gro_header is called four times per packet which quickly adds up at 10Gb/s. This patch inlines it to allow better optimisations. Some architectures perform multiplication for page_address, which is done by each skb_gro_header invocation. This patch caches that value in skb->cb to avoid the unnecessary multiplications.

2009-05-27gro: Open-code frags copy in skb_gro_receiveHerbert Xu
gcc does a poor job at generating code for the memcpy of the frags array in skb_gro_receive, which is the primary purpose of that function when merging frags. In particular, it can't utilise the alignment information of the source and destination. This patch open-codes the copy so we process words instead of bytes.

2009-05-25net: txq_trans_update() helperEric Dumazet
We would like to get rid of netdev->trans_start = jiffies; that about all net drivers have to use in their start_xmit() function, and use txq->trans_start instead. This can be done generically in core network, as suggested by David. Some devices, (particularly loopback) dont need trans_start update, because they dont have transmit watchdog. We could add a new device flag, or rely on fact that txq->tran_start can be updated is txq->xmit_lock_owner is different than -1. Use a helper function to hide our choice.
