2013-02-08net: sctp: sctp_auth_make_key_vector: use sctp_auth_create_keyDaniel Borkmann
In sctp_auth_make_key_vector, we allocate a temporary sctp_auth_bytes structure with kmalloc instead of the sctp_auth_create_key allocator. Change this to sctp_auth_create_key as it is the case everywhere else, so that we also can properly free it via sctp_auth_key_put. This makes it easier for future code changes in the structure and allocator itself, since a single API is consistently used for this purpose. Also, by using sctp_auth_create_key we're doing sanity checks over the arguments.

2013-02-08macvlan: add a salt to mc_hash()Eric Dumazet
Some multicast addresses are common to all macvlans, so if a multicast message has a hash value collision, we have to deliver a copy to all macvlans, adding significant latency and possible packet drops if netdev_max_backlog limit is hit. Having a per macvlan hash function permits to reduce the impact of hash collisions.

2013-02-08tg3: add support for Ethernet core in bcm4785Hauke Mehrtens
The BCM4785 or sometimes named BMC4705 is a Broadcom SoC which a Gigabit 5750 Ethernet core. The core is connected via PCI with the rest of the SoC, but it uses some extension. This core does not use a firmware or an eeprom. Some devices only have a switch which supports 100MBit/s, this currently does not work with this driver. This patch was original written by Michael Buesch <m@bues.ch> and is in OpenWrt for some years now. This was tested on a Linksys WRT610N V1 and older versions of this patch were tested by other people on different devices.

Amir Vadai says: ==================== This series from Yan Burman adds support for unicast MAC address filtering and ndo FDB operations. It also includes some optimizations to loopback related decisions and checks in the TX/RX fast path and one cleanup, all in separate patches. Today, when adding macvlan devices, the NIC goes into promiscuous mode, since unicast MAC filtering is not supported. With these changes, macvlan devices can be added without the penalty of promiscuous mode. If for some reason adding a unicast address filter fails e.g as of missing space in the HW mac table, the device forces itself into promiscuous mode (and out of this forced state when enough space is available). Also, now it is possible to have bridge under multi-function configuration that include PF and VFs. In order to use bridge over PF/VFs, VM MAC fdb entries must be added e.g. using 'bridge fdb add' command. Changes from v1 - based on more comments from Eric Dumazet: * added failure handling when adding unicast address filter Changes from v0 - based on comments from Eric Dumazet: * Removed unneeded synchronize_rcu() * Use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() + kfree() ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, RX path code that does RX filtering is not optimized and does an expensive conversion.

Store the MAC address as unsigned char array and convert to/from u64 out of the fast path when needed. Side effect of this is that we no longer need priv->mac, since it's the same as dev->dev_addr.

2013-02-06team: allow userspace to take control over carrierFlavio Leitner
Some modes don't require any special carrier handling so in these cases, the kernel can control the carrier as for any other interface. However, some other modes, e.g. lacp, requires more than just that, so userspace needs to control the carrier itself. The daemon today is ready to control it, but the kernel still can change it based on events. This fix so that either kernel or userspace is controlling the carrier.

2013-02-06netpoll: protect napi_poll and poll_controller during dev_[open|close]Neil Horman
Ivan Vercera was recently backporting commit 9c13cb8bb477a83b9a3c9e5a5478a4e21294a760 to a RHEL kernel, and I noticed that, while this patch protects the tg3 driver from having its ndo_poll_controller routine called during device initalization, it does nothing for the driver during shutdown. I.e. it would be entirely possible to have the ndo_poll_controller method (or subsequently the ndo_poll) routine called for a driver in the netpoll path on CPU A while in parallel on CPU B, the ndo_close or ndo_open routine could be called. Given that the two latter routines tend to initizlize and free many data structures that the former two rely on, the result can easily be data corruption or various other crashes. Furthermore, it seems that this is potentially a problem with all net drivers that support netpoll, and so this should ideally be fixed in a common path. As Ben H Pointed out to me, we can't preform dev_open/dev_close in atomic context, so I've come up with this solution. We can use a mutex to sleep in open/close paths and just do a mutex_trylock in the napi poll path and abandon the poll attempt if we're locked, as we'll just retry the poll on the next send anyway. I've tested this here by flooding netconsole with messages on a system whos nic driver I modfied to periodically return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so that the netpoll tx workqueue would be forced to send frames and poll the device. While this was going on I rapidly ifdown/up'ed the interface and watched for any problems. I've not found any.

2013-02-06ipv6: Don't send packet to big messages to selfSteffen Klassert
Calling icmpv6_send() on a local message size error leads to an incorrect update of the path mtu in the case when IPsec is used. So use ipv6_local_error() instead to notify the socket about the error. Reported-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-02-05Merge branch 'master' of ↵David S. Miller
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to e1000e and ixgbe. Majority of the patches are against e1000e, where Bruce makes several cosmetic #define moves into header files. In addition, Bruce does a cleanup of braces to resolve checkpatch warnings (when using the strict option). Ixgbe patches contain several fixes as well as updating the copyright. The fixes from Josh Hay, resolved a possible NULL pointer dereference and resolved Smatch warnings by fixing return values and memcpy parameters. Alex provides 2 fixes, the first is to replace rmb() with read_barrier_depends() in the Tx cleanup. The second fixes an MTU warning when using SR-IOV which corrects the fact that we were using 1522 to test for the max frame size in ixgbe_change_mtu and 1518 in ixgbe_set_vf_lpe. The difference was the addition of VLAN_HLEN, which we only need to add in the case of computing a buffer size, but not a filter size. Lastly, a patch from Emil which is based on a community patch from Aurélien Guillaume which adds functions needed for reading SFF-8472 diagnostic data from SFP modules. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-02-05tcp: remove Appropriate Byte Count supportStephen Hemminger
TCP Appropriate Byte Count was added by me, but later disabled. There is no point in maintaining it since it is a potential source of bugs and Linux already implements other better window protection heuristics.

2013-02-05ipv4: Disallow non-namespace aware protocols to register.David S. Miller
All in-tree ipv4 protocol implementations are now namespace aware. Therefore all the run-time checks are superfluous. Reject registry of any non-namespace aware ipv4 protocol. Eventually we'll remove prot->netns_ok and this registry time check as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-02-05l2tp: Make ipv4 protocol handler namespace aware.David S. Miller
The infrastructure is already pretty much entirely there to allow this conversion. The tunnel and session lookups have per-namespace tables, and the ipv4 bind lookup includes the namespace in the lookup key. Set netns_ok in l2tp_ip_protocol. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
