  • Commit e2eed58b4fbf ("IB/qib: change QLogic to Intel") moved a firmware
    file potentially breaking the ABI.

    This patch reverts that aspect of the fix as well as reverting the
    firmware name as used in qib.

  • Pull networking changes from David Miller:

    1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.

    2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.

    3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

    4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.

    5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.

    6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.

    7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
    Borkmann.

    8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

    9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

    10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

    From Eric Dumazet.

    11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

    12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

    13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

    Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
    namespace changes.

  • The only Computone support left in the kernel is in
    drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c. CONFIG_COMPUTONE is no longer a valid
    option. Therefore, remove firmware, documentation, and the last vestiges
    of this driver.

  • This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support.

    It gets rid of:
    - the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on
    - the drivers/net component
    - the Kbuild infrastructure around it
    - any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs
    - the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir
    - the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers.
    - any associated token ring documentation.

  • Extract the microcode for the QLogic QLE7220 series IB HCA and use the
    kernel microcode request facility to load the microcode. This
    supports Debian Linux's requirements to separate microcode which

  • Value of zero was used to disable the fairness mechanism. Though the code
    (driver and FW) allowed changing the value at run time, it did not allow to do
    that if the mechanism was disabled to begin with.
    Fixed the FW to allow turning on and off the mechanism at run time. Fixed the
    code to read the value from the chip at the right sequence.
    Without this fix, if the initial value was set to zero, traffic could not run on
    the interface.

  • Loosely based on a patch by
    Jaswinder Singh Rajput .

    KMS support by Dave Airlie .

    For Radeon 100- to 500-series, firmware blobs look like:
    struct {
    __be32 datah;
    __be32 datal;
    } cp_ucode[256];

    For Radeon 600-series, there are two separate firmware blobs:
    __be32 me_ucode[PM4_UCODE_SIZE * 3];
    __be32 pfp_ucode[PFP_UCODE_SIZE];

    For Radeon 700-series, likewise:
    __be32 me_ucode[R700_PM4_UCODE_SIZE];
    __be32 pfp_ucode[R700_PFP_UCODE_SIZE];

  • The new FW improves the packets per second rate. It required a lot of change in
    the FW which implies many changes in the driver to support it. It is now also
    possible for the driver to use a separate MSI-X vector for Rx and Tx - this also
    add some to the complicity of this change.

    All things said - after this patch, practically all performance matrixes show
    improvement.
    Though Vladislav Zolotarov is not signed on this patch, he did most of the job
    and deserves credit for that.
