| * veth: Fix vlan_features so as to be able to use stacked vlan interfacesToshiaki Makita2014-02-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even if we create a stacked vlan interface such as veth0.10.20, it sends single tagged frames (tagged with only vid 10). Because vlan_features of a veth interface has the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CTAG/STAG]_TX bits, veth0.10 also has that feature, so dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) doesn't call __vlan_put_tag() and vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) overwrites vlan_tci. This prevents us from using a combination of 802.1ad and 802.1Q in containers, etc. Signed-off-by: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@lab.ntt.co.jp> Acked-by: Flavio Leitner <fbl@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdepJohn Stultz2013-11-061-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement.

Ben noticed, that this code path previously ignored ifmp->ifi_index and userland could be passing in garbage. Thus it may now fail occasionally because the value clashes with an existing interface. To address this it's assumed that if the caller specifies the ifindex for the veth master device, then it's aware of this possibility and should explicitly specify (or set to 0 for auto-assignment) the peer's ifindex as well. With this the compatibility with old tools not setting ifindex is preserved. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in their skbs. There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of course, and need to be fixed up. This patch identifies those drivers, and marks them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: Karsten Keil <isdn@linux-pingi.de> CC: "David S.

* | ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed APIDavid Decotigny2011-04-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated. Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work Signed-off-by: David Decotigny <decot@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
