Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add.

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree.

2012-04-05mlx4: allocate just enough pages instead of always 4 pagesThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
The driver uses a 2-order allocation, which is too much on architectures like ppc64, which has a 64KiB page. This particular allocation is used for large packet fragments that may have a size of 512, 1024, 4096 or fill the whole allocation. So, a minimum size of 16384 is good enough and will be the same size that is used in architectures of 4KiB sized pages. This will avoid allocation failures that we see when the system is under stress, but still has plenty of memory, like the one below. This will also allow us to set the interface MTU to higher values like 9000, which was not possible on ppc64 without this patch.

2012-04-04sky2: copy received packets on inefficient unaligned architecturestephen hemminger
Modified from original patch from Chris. The sky2 driver has to have 8 byte alignment of receive buffer on some chip versions. On architectures which don't support efficient unaligned access this doesn't work very well. The solution is to just copy all received packets which is what the driver already does for small packets. This allows the driver to be used on the Tilera TILEmpower-Gx, since the tile architecture doesn't currently handle kernel unaligned accesses, just userspace.

2012-04-04net/bonding: correctly proxy slave neigh param setup ndo functionShlomo Pongratz
The current implemenation was buggy for slaves who use ndo_neigh_setup, since the networking stack invokes the bonding device ndo entry (from neigh_params_alloc) before any devices are enslaved, and the bonding driver can't further delegate the call at that point in time. As a result when bonding IPoIB devices, the neigh_cleanup hasn't been called. Fix that by deferring the actual call into the slave ndo_neigh_setup from the time the bonding neigh_setup is called.

2012-04-03ixgbe: driver fix for link flapMultanen, Eric W
Fix up code so that changes in DCB settings are detected only when ixgbe_dcbnl_set_all is called. Previously, a series of 'change' commands followed by a call to ixgbe_dcbnl_set_all() would always be handled as a HW change - even if the net change was zero. This patch checks for this case of no actual change and skips going through the HW set process. Without this fix, the link could reset and result in a link flap. The core change in this patch is to check for changes in the ixgbe_copy_dcb_cfg() routine - and return a bitmask of detected changes. The other places where changes were detected previously can be removed.

2012-04-03ppp: Don't stop and restart queue on every TX packetDavid Woodhouse
For every transmitted packet, ppp_start_xmit() will stop the netdev queue and then, if appropriate, restart it. This causes the TX softirq to run, entirely gratuitously. This is "only" a waste of CPU time in the normal case, but it's actively harmful when the PPP device is a TEQL slave — the wakeup will cause the offending device to receive the next TX packet from the TEQL queue, when it *should* have gone to the next slave in the list. We end up seeing large bursts of packets on just *one* slave device, rather than using the full available bandwidth over all slaves. This patch fixes the problem by *not* unconditionally stopping the queue in ppp_start_xmit(). It adds a return value from ppp_xmit_process() which indicates whether the queue should be stopped or not. It *doesn't* remove the call to netif_wake_queue() from ppp_xmit_process(), because other code paths (especially from ppp_output_wakeup()) need it there and it's messy to push it out to the other callers to do it based on the return value. So we leave it in place — it's a no-op in the case where the queue wasn't stopped, so it's harmless in the TX path. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Provide device string properly for USB i2400m wimax devices, also don't OOPS when providing firmware string. From Phil Sutter. 2) Add support for sh_eth SH7734 chips, from Nobuhiro Iwamatsu. 3) Add another device ID to USB zaurus driver, from Guan Xin. 4) Loop index start in pool vector iterator is wrong causing MAC to not get configured in bnx2x driver, fix from Dmitry Kravkov. 5) EQL driver assumes HZ=100, fix from Eric Dumazet. 6) Now that skb_add_rx_frag() can specify the truesize increment separately, do so in f_phonet and cdc_phonet, also from Eric Dumazet. 7) virtio_net accidently uses net_ratelimit() not only on the kernel warning but also the statistic bump, fix from Rick Jones. 8) ip_route_input_mc() uses fixed init_net namespace, oops, use dev_net(dev) instead. Fix from Benjamin LaHaise. 9) dev_forward_skb() needs to clear the incoming interface index of the SKB so that it looks like a new incoming packet, also from Benjamin LaHaise. 10) iwlwifi mistakenly initializes a channel entry as 2GHZ instead of 5GHZ, fix from Stanislav Yakovlev. 11) Missing kmalloc() return value checks in orinoco, from Santosh Nayak. 12) ath9k doesn't check for HT capabilities in the right way, it is checking ht_supported instead of the ATH9K_HW_CAP_HT flag. Fix from Sujith Manoharan. 13) Fix x86 BPF JIT emission of 16-bit immediate field of AND instructions, from Feiran Zhuang. 14) Avoid infinite loop in GARP code when registering sysfs entries. From David Ward. 15) rose protocol uses memcpy instead of memcmp in a device address comparison, oops. Fix from Daniel Borkmann. 16) Fix build of lpc_eth due to dev_hw_addr_rancom() interface being renamed to eth_hw_addr_random(). From Roland Stigge. 17) Make ipv6 RTM_GETROUTE interpret RTA_IIF attribute the same way that ipv4 does. Fix from Shmulik Ladkani. 18) via-rhine has an inverted bit test, causing suspend/resume regressions. Fix from Andreas Mohr. 19) RIONET assumes 4K page size, fix from Akinobu Mita. 20) Initialization of imask register in sky2 is buggy, because bits are "or'd" into an uninitialized local variable. Fix from Lino Sanfilippo. 21) Fix FCOE checksum offload handling, from Yi Zou. 22) Fix VLAN processing regression in e1000, from Jiri Pirko. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (52 commits) sky2: dont overwrite settings for PHY Quick link tg3: Fix 5717 serdes powerdown problem net: usb: cdc_eem: fix mtu net: sh_eth: fix endian check for architecture independent usb/rtl8150 : Remove duplicated definitions rionet: fix page allocation order of rionet_active via-rhine: fix wait-bit inversion. ipv6: Fix RTM_GETROUTE's interpretation of RTA_IIF to be consistent with ipv4 net: lpc_eth: Fix rename of dev_hw_addr_random net/netfilter/nfnetlink_acct.c: use linux/atomic.h rose_dev: fix memcpy-bug in rose_set_mac_address Fix non TBI PHY access; a bad merge undid bug fix in a previous commit. net/garp: avoid infinite loop if attribute already exists x86 bpf_jit: fix a bug in emitting the 16-bit immediate operand of AND bonding: emit event when bonding changes MAC mac80211: fix oper channel timestamp updation ath9k: Use HW HT capabilites properly MAINTAINERS: adding maintainer for ipw2x00 net: orinoco: add error handling for failed kmalloc(). net/wireless: ipw2x00: fix a typo in wiphy struct initilization ...

Make CDC EEM recalculate the hard_mtu after adjusting the hard_header_len. Without this, usbnet adjusts the MTU down to 1494 bytes, and the host is unable to receive standard 1500-byte frames from the device. Tested with the Linux USB Ethernet gadget.
