2008-02-03bonding: do not acquire rtnl in ARP monitorJay Vosburgh1-12/+0
The ARP monitor functions currently acquire RTNL when performing failover operations, but do so incorrectly (out of order). This causes various warnings from might_sleep. The ARP monitor isn't supported for any of the bonding modes that actually require RTNL, so it is safe to not hold RTNL when failing over in the ARP monitor.

2008-02-03bonding: fix race that causes invalid statisticsAndy Gospodarek1-27/+30
I've seen reports of invalid stats in /proc/net/dev for bonding interfaces, and found it's a pretty easy problem to reproduce. Since the current code zeros the bonding stats when a read is requested and a pointer to that data is returned to the caller we cannot guarantee that the caller has completely accessed the data before a successive call to request the stats zeroes the stats again. This patch creates a new stack variable to keep track of the updated stats and copies the data from that variable into the bonding stats structure. This ensures that the value for any of the bonding stats should not incorrectly return zero for any of the bonding statistics. This does use more stack space and require an extra memcpy, but it seems like a fair trade-off for consistently correct bonding statistics.

2008-02-03bonding: fix set_multicast_list lockingJay Vosburgh1-3/+11
This patch eliminates a problem (reported by lockdep) in the bond_set_multicast_list function. It first reduces the locking on bond->lock to a simple read_lock, and second, adds netif_tx locking around the bonding mc_list manipulations that occur outside of the set_multicast_list function. The original problem was related to IPv6 addrconf activity. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

My last fix (commit ece95f7fefe3afae19e641e1b3f5e64b00d5b948) didn't handle one case correctly. This resolves that, and it will now correctly parse parameters with arbitrary white space, and either text names or mode values.

This is Thiemo's patch. ----- Forwarded message from Thiemo Seufer <ths@networkno.de> ----- From: Thiemo Seufer <ths@networkno.de> Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2007 22:29:13 +0000 To: netdev@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org, ralf@linux-mips.org Subject: [PATCH, REPOST] Fix/Rewrite of the mipsnet driver Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello All, currently the mipsnet driver fails after transmitting a number of packages because SKBs are allocated but never freed. I fixed that and coudn't refrain from removing the most egregious warts. - mipsnet.h folded into mipsnet.c, as it doesn't provide any useful external interface. - Free SKB after transmission. - Call free_irq in mipsnet_close, to balance the request_irq in mipsnet_open. - Removed duplicate read of rxDataCount. - Some identifiers are now less verbose. - Removed dead and/or unnecessarily complex code. - Code formatting fixes. Tested on Qemu's mipssim emulation, with this patch it can boot a Debian NFSroot.

Resubmitting patch from Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>, with subject - [PATCH] s2io LRO bugs. a) initiate_new_session() sets ->tcp_ack to ntohl(...); everything else stores and expects to find there the net-endian value. b) check for monotonic timestamps in verify_l3_l4_lro_capable() compares the value sitting in TCP option (right there in the skb->data, net-endian 32bit) with the value picked from earlier packet. Doing that without ntohl() is an interesting idea and it might even work occasionally; unfortunately, it's quite broken.

2008-02-03macb: Fix section mismatch and shrink runtime footprintHaavard Skinnemoen1-5/+4
macb devices are only found integrated on SoCs, so they can't be hotplugged. Thus, the probe() and exit() functions can be __init and __exit, respectively. By using platform_driver_probe() instead of platform_driver_register(), there won't be any references to the discarded probe() function after the driver has loaded. This also fixes a section mismatch due to macb_probe(), defined as __devinit, calling macb_get_hwaddr, defined as __init.

2008-02-02fix writev regression: pan hanging unkillable and un-straceableNick Piggin1-2/+6
Frederik Himpe reported an unkillable and un-straceable pan process. Zero length iovecs can go into an infinite loop in writev, because the iovec iterator does not always advance over them. The sequence required to trigger this is not trivial. I think it requires that a zero-length iovec be followed by a non-zero-length iovec which causes a pagefault in the atomic usercopy. This causes the writev code to drop back into single-segment copy mode, which then tries to copy the 0 bytes of the zero-length iovec; a zero length copy looks like a failure though, so it loops. Put a test into iov_iter_advance to catch zero-length iovecs. We could just put the test in the fallback path, but I feel it is more robust to skip over zero-length iovecs throughout the code (iovec iterator may be used in filesystems too, so it should be robust).
