  • Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
    in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
    (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.

    Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

  • Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list.

    +uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global"
    variant) instead of a function parameter.
    +removes dev_mcast.c completely.
    +exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for
    manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers)

  • …it 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.

  • While ifconfig eth0 up kernel calls open() of 8139 driver(8139too.c).
    In rtl8139_hw_start() of rtl8139_open(), 8139 driver enable RX before
    setting up the DMA buffer address. In this interval where RX was
    enabled and DMA buffer address is not yet set up, any incoming
    broadcast packet would be send to a strange physical address:
    0x003e8800 which is the default value of DMA buffer address.
    Unfortunately, this address is used by Linux kernel. So kernel panics.
    This patch fix it by setting up DMA buffer address before RX enabled
    and everything is fine even under broadcast packets attack.

  • Similar patch as for 8139cp posted yesterday, so the same comment:

    So far there was not a chance to set a mac address on running 8139too device.
    This is for example needed when you want to use this NIC as a bonding slave in
    bonding device in mode balance-alb. This simple patch allows it.

  • Following the removal of the unused struct net_device * parameter from
    the NAPI functions named *netif_rx_* in commit 908a7a1, they are
    exactly equivalent to the corresponding *napi_* functions and are
    therefore redundant.

  • When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
    struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
    vestigual net_device structure parameter. This patch cleans up that api by
    properly removing it..

  • This patch moves neigh_setup and hard_start_xmit into the network device ops
    structure. For bisection, fix all the previously converted drivers as well.
    Bonding driver took the biggest hit on this.

    Added a prefetch of the hard_start_xmit in the fast path to try and reduce
    any impact this would have.

  • This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
    a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
    now, no harm done.

    I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
    that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

  • The 8139 drivers are a source of error messages that confuse users.

    Since this device can not be disambiguated by normal PCI device
    id's two drivers match the same info. But the module utilities
    seem to correctly handle this overlap, they try one driver, then
    if that doesn't load try the other. Therefore there is no need for
    a message to be logged with error level severity, just using info
    level instead. Can't be completely silent because user might have
    configure one driver and forgot the other one.

  • I would like to submit a correction to the driver

    drivers/net/8139too.c,

    which in no way changes the compiled driver, but does change
    the value of a previously incorrect value for the configuration
    register address of Flash PROM on the network processor rtl8139C.
    This corrected value is in accordance with the datasheet
    for rtl8139C, and in addition this new value is indeed used
    in other functional drivers that use this adapter for
    programming a Flash memory chip in situ. But as said,
    the two new constants are never referenced in the driver
    maintained by you: they are only informational and correct!
