2010-12-01mlx4_core: Workaround firmware bug in query dev capEli Cohen
ConnectX firmware is supposed to report the number blue flame registers per page as log2 of the value. However, due to a firmware bug, it reports actual number. This patch works around this by checking if the number of registers calculated fits within a page. If it does not, we use 8 registers per page.

2010-10-25mlx4_en: Fix out of bounds array accessEli Cohen
When searching for a free entry in either mlx4_register_vlan() or mlx4_register_mac(), and there is no free entry, the loop terminates without updating the local variable free thus causing out of array bounds access.

2010-10-25IB/mlx4: Add VLAN support for IBoEEli Cohen
This patch allows IBoE traffic to be encapsulated in 802.1Q tagged VLAN frames. The VLAN tag is encoded in the GID and derived from it by a simple computation. The netdev notifier callback is modified to catch VLAN device addition/removal and the port's GID table is updated to reflect the change, so that for each netdevice there is an entry in the GID table. When the port's GID table is exhausted, GID entries will not be added. Only children of the main interfaces can add to the GID table; if a VLAN interface is added on another VLAN interface (e.g. "vconfig add eth2.6 8"), then that interfaces will not add an entry to the GID table.

2010-10-25mlx4_core: Allow protocol drivers to find corresponding interfacesEli Cohen
Add a mechanism for mlx4 protocol drivers to get a pointer to other drivers's device objects. For this, an exported function, mlx4_get_protocol_dev() is added, which allows a driver to get some other driver's device based on the protocol that the driver implements. Two protocols are added: MLX4_PROTOCOL_IB and MLX4_PROTOCOL_EN. This will be used in mlx4 IBoE support so that mlx4_ib can find the corresponding mlx4_en netdev.

2010-10-21vlan: Don't check for vlan group before vlan_tx_tag_present.Jesse Gross
Many (but not all) drivers check to see whether there is a vlan group configured before using a tag stored in the skb. There's not much point in this check since it just throws away data that should only be present in the expected circumstances. However, it will soon be legal and expected to get a vlan tag when no vlan group is configured, so remove this check from all drivers to avoid dropping the tags.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
