2010-02-03sky2: Flow control frames recorded as dropped packetsStephen Hemminger

2010-02-03sky2: hand receive DMA mapping failuresstephen hemminger
If receive buffer mapping failed, then it was possible to get stuck with unmapped receive buffer in DMA ring. This would be an extremely rare condition because the driver had just released the map for the last receive so it should be able to get another map again (in soft-irq).

2010-02-03can: mcp251x: Move to threaded interrupts instead of workqueues.Christian Pellegrin
This patch addresses concerns about efficiency of handling incoming packets. Handling of interrupts is done in a threaded interrupt handler which has a smaller latency than workqueues. This change needed a rework of the locking scheme that was much simplified. Some other (more or less longstanding) bugs are fixed: utilization of just half of the RX buffers, useless wait for interrupt on open, more reliable reset sequence. The MERR interrupt is not used anymore: it overloads the CPU in error-passive state without any additional information. One shot mode is disabled because it's not clear if it can be handled efficiently on this CAN controller.

2010-02-03net: macvtap driverArnd Bergmann
In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend with a character device with the same interface as the tun driver, with a minimum set of features. Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a handle for configuration and accounting, while the data goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its own character device, simplifying permission management significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

2010-02-03macvlan: allow multiple driver backendsArnd Bergmann
This makes it possible to hook into the macvlan driver from another kernel module. In particular, the goal is to extend it with the macvtap backend that provides a tun/tap compatible interface directly on the macvlan device.

2010-02-03net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real deviceArnd Bergmann
In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may potentially belong to a different namespace.

2010-02-03ixgbe: Make descriptor ring allocations NUMA-awarePJ Waskiewicz
This patch allocates the ring structures themselves on each NUMA node along with the buffer_info structures.

2010-02-03ixgbe: Allocate driver resources per NUMA nodeJesse Brandeburg
The default policy for the current driver is to do all its memory allocation on whatever processor is running insmod/modprobe. This is less than optimal. This driver's default mode of operation will be to use each node for each subsequent transmit/receive queue. The most efficient allocation will be to then have the interrupts bound in such a way as to match up the interrupt of the queue to the cpu where its memory was allocated.

2010-02-03ixgbe: only process one ixgbe_watchdog_task at a time.John Fastabend
Processing multiple ixgbe_watchdog_task calls may cause the link_up variable and IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_UPDATE flag to be set incorrectly. In the worse case this is causing the netif_carrier_off to be called inappropriately which results in an interface that can't be brought up. Although schedule_work() will only schedule the task if it is not already on the work queue the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING bits are cleared just before calling the work function. This allows WORK_STRUCT_PENDING to be cleared, the work function to start and meanwhile schedule another task. This patch adds a mutex to the watchdog task. This bug is actualized by changing DCB settings or doing extended cable pull or reset tests.

12:53:38 -0800 virtio_net receives packets from its pre-allocated vring buffers, then it delivers these packets to upper layer protocols as skb buffs. So it's not necessary to pre-allocate skb for each mergable buffer, then frees extra skbs when buffers are merged into a large packet. This patch has deferred skb allocation in receiving packets for both big packets and mergeable buffers to reduce skb pre-allocations and skb frees. It frees unused buffers by calling detach_unused_buf in vring, so recv skb queue is not needed.
