2010-07-16ibmveth: lost IRQ while closing/opening device leads to service lossRobert Jennings
The order of freeing the IRQ and freeing the device in firmware in ibmveth_close can cause the adapter to become unusable after a subsequent ibmveth_open. Only a reboot of the OS will make the network device usable again. This is seen when cycling the adapter up and down while there is network activity. There is a window where an IRQ will be left unserviced (H_EOI will not be called). The solution is to make a VIO_IRQ_DISABLE h_call, free the device with firmware, and then call free_irq.

2010-07-16rt2x00: Fix lockdep warning in rt2x00lib_probe_dev()Stephen Boyd
The rt2x00dev->intf_work workqueue is never initialized when a driver is probed for a non-existent device (in this case rt2500usb). On such a path we call rt2x00lib_remove_dev() to free any resources initialized during the probe before we use INIT_WORK to initialize the workqueue. This causes lockdep to get confused since the lock used in the workqueue hasn't been initialized yet but is now being acquired during cancel_work_sync() called by rt2x00lib_remove_dev(). Fix this by initializing the workqueue first before we attempt to probe the device. This should make lockdep happy and avoid breaking any assumptions about how the library cleans up after a probe fails. phy0 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to allocate device. INFO: trying to register non-static key. the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. turning off the locking correctness validator.

2010-07-02s2io: resolve statistics issuesJon Mason
This patch resolves a number of issues in the statistics gathering of the s2io driver. On Xframe adapters, the received multicast statistics counter includes pause frames which are not indicated to the driver. This can cause issues where the multicast packet count is higher than what has actually been received, possibly higher than the number of packets received. The driver software counters are replaced with the adapter hardware statistics for rx_packets, rx_bytes, and tx_bytes. It also uses the overflow registers to determine if the statistics wrapped the 32bit register (removing the window of having a statistic value less than the previous call). rx_length_errors statistic now includes undersized packets in addition to oversized packets in its counting. Finally, rx_crc_errors are now being counted. Signed-off-by: Jon Mason <jon.mason@exar.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-07-02net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdiscJohn Fastabend
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can be sent to the underlying driver. The flow for this is, dev_queue_xmit() dev_pick_tx() skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues skb_set_queue_mapping() ... qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash ... dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n ... sch_direct_xmit() dev_hard_start_xmit() ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set 0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues. This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to rings that no longer exist.

2010-06-30bonding: check if clients MAC addr has changedFlavio Leitner
When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems. What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies updating this specific client. The same process happens on the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp replies. See more information including the relevant functions below: System 1 System 2 bond0 bond0 ping <system2> ARP request ---------> <--------- ARP reply +->rlb_arp_recv <---------------------+ <--- loop begins | rlb_update_entry_from_arp | | client_info->ntt = 1; | | bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; | | | | <communication succeed> | | | | bond_alb_monitor | | rlb_update_rx_clients | | rlb_update_client | | arp_create(ARPOP_REPLY) | | send ARP reply --------------> V | send ARP reply --------------> | rlb_arp_recv | rlb_update_entry_from_arp | client_info->ntt = 1; | bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; | < snipped, same as in system 1> +------- <-------------- send ARP reply <-------------- send ARP reply Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply poisoning the network. This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later.

The reason, it turns out, is that the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_, which the new code no longer did, and normally it _never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually, the code prior to my patch there would have been broken already. The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending on the default filter in the device, which isn't necessarily what we want (since we don't program it right now). Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

2010-06-23sky2: enable rx/tx in sky2_phy_reinit()Brandon Philips
sky2_phy_reinit is called by the ethtool helpers sky2_set_settings, sky2_nway_reset and sky2_set_pauseparam when netif_running. However, at the end of sky2_phy_init GM_GP_CTRL has GM_GPCR_RX_ENA and GM_GPCR_TX_ENA cleared. So, doing these commands causes the device to stop working: $ ethtool -r eth0 $ ethtool -A eth0 autoneg off Fix this issue by enabling Rx/Tx after running sky2_phy_init in sky2_phy_reinit.

2010-06-23ath9k: Fix bug in starting aniVasanthakumar Thiagarajan
There are few places where ANI is started without checking if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic. This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset(). This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen with ar9003 + paprd.

This patch removes the setting of the low_latency flag. tty_flip_buffer_push() is occasionally being called in irq context, which causes a hang if the low_latency flag is set.

2010-06-17bnx2: fix dma_get_ops compilation breakageFUJITA Tomonori
This removes dma_get_ops() prefetch optimization in bnx2. bnx2 uses dma_get_ops() to see if dma_sync_single_for_cpu() is noop. bnx2 does prefetch if it's noop. But dma_get_ops() isn't available on all the architectures (only the architectures that uses dma_map_ops struct have it). Using dma_get_ops() in drivers leads to compilation breakage on many architectures. This patch removes dma_get_ops() and changes bnx2 to do prefetch on all the architectures. This adds useless prefetch on non-coherent architectures but this is harmless. It is also unlikely to cause the performance drop.
