2010-04-13Fix some #includes in CAN drivers (rebased for net-next-2.6)Hans J. Koch
In the current implementation, CAN drivers need to #include <linux/can.h> _before_ they #include <linux/can/dev.h>, which is both ugly and unnecessary. Fix this by including <linux/can.h> in <linux/can/dev.h> and remove the #include <linux/can.h> lines from drivers. Signed-off-by: Hans J. Koch <hjk@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-04-13bcm63xx_enet: do not overwrite ENET_CTL_REG valueFlorian Fainelli
bcm_enet_hw_preinit will correctly set values in ENET_CTL_REG for internal or external MII operations, however, bcm_enet_open will blindly overwrite the ENET_CTL_REG register value and thus we will loose any changes to it that were made in bcm_enet_hw_preinit, rendering external MII operations non-working. This would lead to the driver not being able to check for link availability on external PHY setups, and thus we would never get to sending packets because link was down from the driver side. This was completely un-noticed because all boards out there but BCM6338-based ones use internal phy on their enet0 interface.

dev_consume_skb and kfree_skb_clean have no users and in the case of kfree_skb_clean could cause potential build issues since I cannot find where it is defined.

2010-04-13tg3: Re-inline VLAN tags when appropriateMatt Carlson
The tg3 driver is written so that VLAN tagged packets can be accepted, even if CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q or CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MODULE is not defined. (Think raw interfaces.) If the device has ASF support enabled, the firmware requires the driver to enable VLAN tag stripping. If VLAN tagging is not explicitly supported by the kernel and ASF is enabled, the driver will have to reinject the VLAN tag back into the packet stream.

2010-04-13tg3: Optimize rx double copy testMatt Carlson
On a PCIX bus, the 5701 has a bug which requires the driver to double copy all rx packets. The rx code uses the rx_offset device member as a flag to determine if this workaround should take effect. The following patch will modify the rx_offset member such that this test will become less clear. The patch starts by integrating the workaround check into the packet length check. It rounds out the implementation by relaxing the workaround restrictions if the platform has efficient unaligned accesses.

2010-04-13net: sk_dst_cache RCUificationEric Dumazet
With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this work. sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock) This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU again :) This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers. __sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check() condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk)) This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets, for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

2010-04-13gianfar: Add hardware TX timestamping supportManfred Rudigier
If a packet has the skb_shared_tx->hardware flag set the device is instructed to generate a TX timestamp and write it back to memory after the frame is transmitted. During the clean_tx_ring operation the timestamp will be extracted and copied into the skb_shared_hwtstamps struct of the skb. TX timestamping is enabled by setting the tx_type to something else than HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF with the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl command. It is only supported by eTSEC devices.

The device is configured to insert hardware timestamps into all received packets.

This extraction only happens if the rx_filter was set to something else than HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE with the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl command. Hardware timestamping is only supported for eTSEC devices.

2010-04-11tcp: Set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in tcp_init_nondata_skbDavid S. Miller
Back in commit 04a0551c87363f100b04d28d7a15a632b70e18e7 ("loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed setting") we stopped setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in the loopback xmit. This is because such a setting was a lie since it implies that the checksum field of the packet is properly filled in. Instead what happens normally is that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set and skb->csum is calculated as needed. But this was only happening for TCP data packets (via the skb->ip_summed assignment done in tcp_sendmsg()). It doesn't happen for non-data packets like ACKs etc. Fix this by setting skb->ip_summed in the common non-data packet constructor. It already is setting skb->csum to zero. But this reminds us that we still have things like ip_output.c's ip_dev_loopback_xmit() which sets skb->ip_summed to the value CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which Herbert's patch teaches us is not valid. So we'll have to address that at some point too. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-04-09radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2]David Howells
radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set() or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in radix_tree_tag_get(): if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset)) saw_unset_tag = 1; if (height == 1) { int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset); may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly. The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any functions reading the tree". The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the tag doesn't vary over time: BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag); This has been seen happening in FS-Cache: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held, and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from running concurrently with it.

2010-04-09slub: Fix kmem_ptr_validate() for non-kernel pointersPekka Enberg
As suggested by Linus, fix up kmem_ptr_validate() to handle non-kernel pointers more graciously. The patch changes kmem_ptr_validate() to use the newly introduced kern_ptr_validate() helper to check that a pointer is a valid kernel pointer before we attempt to convert it into a 'struct page'.

2010-04-09slab: Generify kernel pointer validationPekka Enberg
As suggested by Linus, introduce a kern_ptr_validate() helper that does some sanity checks to make sure a pointer is a valid kernel pointer. This is a preparational step for fixing SLUB kmem_ptr_validate().
