2012-07-07net/mlx4: Implement promiscuous mode with device managed flow-steeringHadar Hen Zion
The device managed flow steering API has three promiscuous modes: 1. Uplink - captures all the packets that arrive to the port. 2. Allmulti - captures all multicast packets arriving to the port. 3. Function port - for future use, this mode is not implemented yet. Use these modes with the flow_attach and flow_detach firmware commands according to the promiscuous state of the netdevice.

2012-07-07{NET, IB}/mlx4: Add device managed flow steering firmware APIHadar Hen Zion
The driver is modified to support three operation modes. If supported by firmware use the device managed flow steering API, that which we call device managed steering mode. Else, if the firmware supports the B0 steering mode use it, and finally, if none of the above, use the A0 steering mode. When the steering mode is device managed, the code is modified such that L2 based rules set by the mlx4_en driver for Ethernet unicast and multicast, and the IB stack multicast attach calls done through the mlx4_ib driver are all routed to use the device managed API. When attaching rule using device managed flow steering API, the firmware returns a 64 bit registration id, which is to be provided during detach. Currently the firmware is always programmed during HCA initialization to use standard L2 hashing. Future work should be done to allow configuring the flow-steering hash function with common, non proprietary means.

2012-07-07net/mlx4_core: Add firmware commands to support device managed flow steeringHadar Hen Zion
Add support for firmware commands to attach/detach a new device managed steering mode. Such network steering rules allow the user to provide an L2/L3/L4 flow specification to the firmware and have the device to steer traffic that matches that specification to the provided QP.

2012-07-07net/mlx4: Set steering mode according to device capabilitiesHadar Hen Zion
Instead of checking the firmware supported steering mode in various places in the code, add a dedicated field in the mlx4 device capabilities structure which is written once during the initialization flow and read across the code. This also set the grounds for add new steering modes. Currently two modes are supported, and are named after the ConnectX HW versions A0 and B0. A0 steering uses mac_index, vlan_index and priority to steer traffic into pre-defined range of QPs. B0 steering uses Ethernet L2 hashing rules and is enabled only if the firmware supports both unicast and multicast B0 steering, The current steering modes are relevant for Ethernet traffic only, such that Infiniband steering remains untouched.

2012-07-03mac80211: add TX prepare APIJohannes Berg
Some drivers require setup before being able to send management frames in managed mode, in particular in multi-channel cases. Introduce API to allow the drivers to do such setup while being able to sleep waiting for the setup to finish in the device. This isn't possible inside the TX call since that can't sleep. A future patch may also restructure the TX retry to wait for the driver to report the frame status, as suggested by Arik in http://mid.gmane.org/CA+XVXffKSEL6ZQPQ98x-zO-NL2=TNF1uN==mprRyUmAaRn254g@mail.gmail.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-07-01phy: add the EEE support and the way to access to the MMD registers.Giuseppe CAVALLARO
This patch adds the support for the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to the Physical Abstraction Layer. To support the EEE we have to access to the MMD registers 3.20 and 7.60/61. So two new functions have been added to read/write the MMD registers (clause 45). An Ethernet driver (I tested the stmmac) can invoke the phy_init_eee to properly check if the EEE is supported by the PHYs and it can also set the clock stop enable bit in the 3.0 register. The phy_get_eee_err can be used for reporting the number of time where the PHY failed to complete its normal wake sequence. In the end, this patch also adds the EEE ethtool support implementing: o phy_ethtool_set_eee o phy_ethtool_get_eee v1: initial patch v2: fixed some errors especially on naming convention v3: renamed again the mmd read/write functions thank to Ben's feedback v4: moved file to phy.c and added the ethtool support. v5: fixed phy_adv_to_eee, phy_eee_to_supported, phy_eee_to_adv return values according to ethtool API (thanks to Ben's feedback). Renamed some macros to avoid too long names. v6: fixed kernel-doc comments to be properly parsed. Fixed the phy_init_eee function: we need to check which link mode was autonegotiated and then the corresponding bits in 7.60 and 7.61 registers. v7: reviewed the way to get the negotiated settings. v8: fixed a problem in the phy_init_eee return value erroneously added when included the phy_read_status call. v9: do not remove the MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV_100TX and MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV_1000T and fixed the eee_{cap,lp,adv} declaration as "int" instead of u16.

2012-07-01sctp: be more restrictive in transport selection on bundled sacksNeil Horman
It was noticed recently that when we send data on a transport, its possible that we might bundle a sack that arrived on a different transport. While this isn't a major problem, it does go against the SHOULD requirement in section 6.4 of RFC 2960: An endpoint SHOULD transmit reply chunks (e.g., SACK, HEARTBEAT ACK, etc.) to the same destination transport address from which it received the DATA or control chunk to which it is replying. This rule should also be followed if the endpoint is bundling DATA chunks together with the reply chunk. This patch seeks to correct that. It restricts the bundling of sack operations to only those transports which have moved the ctsn of the association forward since the last sack. By doing this we guarantee that we only bundle outbound saks on a transport that has received a chunk since the last sack. This brings us into stricter compliance with the RFC. Vlad had initially suggested that we strictly allow only sack bundling on the transport that last moved the ctsn forward. While this makes sense, I was concerned that doing so prevented us from bundling in the case where we had received chunks that moved the ctsn on multiple transports. In those cases, the RFC allows us to select any of the transports having received chunks to bundle the sack on. so I've modified the approach to allow for that, by adding a state variable to each transport that tracks weather it has moved the ctsn since the last sack. This I think keeps our behavior (and performance), close enough to our current profile that I think we can do this without a sysctl knob to enable/disable it.

If rpfilter is off (or the SKB has an IPSEC path) and there are not tclassid users, we don't have to do anything at all when fib_validate_source() is invoked besides setting the itag to zero. We monitor tclassid uses with a counter (modified only under RTNL and marked __read_mostly) and we protect the fib_validate_source() real work with a test against this counter and whether rpfilter is to be done.

2012-06-29ipv6_tunnel: Allow receiving packets on the fallback tunnel if they pass ↵Ville Nuorvala
sanity checks At Facebook, we do Layer-3 DSR via IP-in-IP tunneling. Our load balancers wrap an extra IP header on incoming packets so they can be routed to the backend. In the v4 tunnel driver, when these packets fall on the default tunl0 device, the behavior is to decapsulate them and drop them back on the stack. So our setup is that tunl0 has the VIP and eth0 has (obviously) the backend's real address. In IPv6 we do the same thing, but the v6 tunnel driver didn't have this same behavior - if you didn't have an explicit tunnel setup, it would drop the packet. This patch brings that v4 feature to the v6 driver. The same IPv6 address checks are performed as with any normal tunnel, but as the fallback tunnel endpoint addresses are unspecified, the checks must be performed on a per-packet basis, rather than at tunnel configuration time.

From Giancarlo Formicuccia and Marek Vasut. 3) Fix wireless regulatory deadlock, from Eliad Peller. 4) Fix full TX ring panic in bnx2x driver, from Eric Dumazet. 5) Revert the two commits that added skb_orphan_try(), it causes erratic bonding behavior with UDP clients and the gains it used to give are mostly no longer happening due to how BQL works. From Eric Dumazet. 6) It took two tries, but Thomas Graf fixed a problem wherein we registered ipv6 routing procfs files before their backend data were initialized properly. 7) Fix max GSO size setting in be2net, from Sarveshwar Bandi. 8) PHY device id mask is wrong for KSZ9021 and KS8001 chips, fix from Jason Wang. 9) Fix use of stale SKB data pointer after skb_linearize() call in batman-adv, from Antonio Quartulli. 10) Fix memory leak in IXGBE due to missing __GFP_COMP, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Fix probing of Gobi devices in qmi_wwan usbnet driver, from Bjørn Mork. 12) Fix suspend/resume and open failure handling in usbnet from Ming Lei. 13) Attempt to fix device r8169 hangs for certain chips, from Francois Romieu. 14) Fix advancement of RX dirty pointer in some situations in sh_eth driver, from Yoshihiro Shimoda. 15) Attempt to fix restart of IPV6 routing table dumps when there is an intervening table update. From Eric Dumazet. 16) Respect security_inet_conn_request() return value in ipv6 TCP. From Neal Cardwell. 17) Add another iPAD device ID to ipheth driver, from Davide Gerhard. 18) Fix access to freed SKB in l2tp_eth_dev_xmit(), and fix l2tp lockdep splats, from Eric Dumazet. 19) Make sure all bridge devices, regardless of whether they were created via netlink or ioctls, have their rtnetlink ops hooked up. From Thomas Graf and Stephen Hemminger. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (81 commits) 9p: fix min_t() casting in p9pdu_vwritef() can: flexcan: use be32_to_cpup to handle the value of dt entry xen/netfront: teardown the device before unregistering it. bridge: Assign rtnl_link_ops to bridge devices created via ioctl (v2) vhost: use USER_DS in vhost_worker thread ixgbe: Do not pad FCoE frames as this can cause issues with FCoE DDP net: l2tp_eth: use LLTX to avoid LOCKDEP splats mac802154: add missed braces net: l2tp_eth: fix l2tp_eth_dev_xmit race net/mlx4_en: Release QP range in free_resources net/mlx4: Use single completion vector after NOP failure net/mlx4_en: Set correct port parameters during device initialization ipheth: add support for iPad caif-hsi: Add missing return in error path caif-hsi: Bugfix - Piggyback'ed embedded CAIF frame lost caif: Clear shutdown mask to zero at reconnect. tcp: heed result of security_inet_conn_request() in tcp_v6_conn_request() ipv6: fib: fix fib dump restart batman-adv: fix race condition in TT full-table replacement batman-adv: only drop packets of known wifi clients ...

2012-06-28ipv4: Create and use fib_compute_spec_dst() helper.David S. Miller
The specific destination is the host we direct unicast replies to. Usually this is the original packet source address, but if we are responding to a multicast or broadcast packet we have to use something different. Specifically we must use the source address we would use if we were to send a packet to the unicast source of the original packet. The routing cache precomputes this value, but we want to remove that precomputation because it creates a hard dependency on the expensive rpfilter source address validation which we'd like to make cheaper. There are only three places where this matters: 1) ICMP replies. 2) pktinfo CMSG 3) IP options Now there will be no real users of rt->rt_spec_dst and we can simply remove it altogether.
