rtl8187: Fix crash on unload when using SLUB debug
Reported-by: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@users.sourceforge.net>
After the code was modified to use urb anchors ("rtl8187: Use usb anchor
facilities to manage urbs"), rtl8187 began generating an intermittent GPF
on shutdown when using SLUB with debugging enabled. Furthermore, rebooting
the system with a ping running caused a GPF every time. There are two problems:
(1) incorrect locking in the rtl8187_rx_cb() routine, a pre-existing bug that
apparently had not been triggered before, and (2) duplicate freeing of receive
skbs that was probably introduced with the change to anchors.

The timeout handling code is currently broken in several ways:
- It calls stop() (which frees all the memory and IRQ), and then
calls startup() (which won't re-request IRQ, neither it will

- It calls these routines from the softirq context, which is wrong,
since stop() calls free_irq() (which might sleep) and startup()
allocates things with GFP_KERNEL.
- It won't soft-reset the PHY. We need the PHY reset for at least
MPC8360E-MDS boards with Marvell 88E1111 PHY, the PHY won't recover
from timeouts w/o the reset.
So the patch fixes these problems by implementing the workqueue for the
timeout handling, and there we fully re-open the device via close() and
open() calls. The close/open paths do the right things, and I can see
that the driver actually survive the timeouts.

Implementing discard counters for the NIU driver turned out to be more
complicated than first assumed.
The discard counters for the NIU neptune chip are only 16-bit (even
though this is a 64-bit chip). These 16-bit counters can overflow
quickly, especially considering this is a 10Gbit/s ethernet card.
The overflow indication bit is, unfortunatly, not usable as the
counter value does not wrap, but remains at max value 0xFFFF.
Resulting in lost counts until the counter is reset.
The read and reset scheme also poses a problem. Both in theory and in
practice counters can be lost in between reading nr64() and clearing
the counter nw64(). For this reason, the number of counter clearings
nw64() is limited/reduced. On the fast-path the counters are only
syncronized once it exceeds 0x7FFF. When read by userspace, its
syncronized fully.

2. when switching from banks 0 or 3 to banks 1 or 2 (i.e. only one bit

ipv6: Add IPV6_PKTINFO sticky option support to setsockopt()
There are three reasons for me to add this support:
1.When no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
item, the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky optionis
is used.
RFC3542:
6.7. Summary of Outgoing Interface Selection
This document and [RFC-3493] specify various methods that affect the
selection of the packet's outgoing interface. This subsection
summarizes the ordering among those in order to ensure deterministic
behavior.
For a given outgoing packet on a given socket, the outgoing interface
is determined in the following order:
1. if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
item, the interface is used.
2. otherwise, if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky
option, the interface is used.
2.When no IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data is received,getsockopt() should
return the sticky option value which set with setsockopt().
RFC 3542:
Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky
option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt(). If no sticky
option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following
values:
3.Make the setsockopt implementation POSIX compliant.

These 4 drivers have identical full duplex flow control resolution
functions. This patch changes them all to use one common function.
The function in question decides whether a device should enable TX and
RX flow control in a standard way (IEEE 802.3-2005 table 28B-3), so this
should also be useful for other drivers.

enc28j60: use netif_rx_ni() to deliver RX packets
The enc28j60 driver reads incoming packets in the process (workqueue) context,
not in a tasklet or the interrupt context. Thus, we should use netif_rx_ni()
to deliver those packets to the networking layer, instead of netif_rx(). This
way incoming packets don't wait in the incoming queue for the next IRQ to be
serviced.

The pppol2tp driver has had broken UDP checksum code for a long

network device has hardware checksum support and is enabled, it is
used instead of generating/checking the checksum in software.

This patch fixes an inconsistency in nfnetlink_conntrack.h that
I introduced myself. The problem is that CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC is
missing from enum ctattr_natseq. This inconsistency may lead to
problems in the message parsing in userspace (if the message
contains the CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes, of course).
This patch breaks backward compatibility, however, the only known
client of this code is libnetfilter_conntrack which indeed crashes
because it assumes the existence of CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC to do
the parsing.
The CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes were introduced in 2.6.25.

ipv4: Add GRO infrastructure
This patch adds GRO support for IPv4.
The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular,
we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for
the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an
arithmetic sequence with a difference of one.
The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware
TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this
whether GSO is in use or not.
In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather
making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate
skb's tail).

net: Add Generic Receive Offload infrastructure
This patch adds the top-level GRO (Generic Receive Offload) infrastructure.
This is pretty similar to LRO except that this is protocol-independent.
Instead of holding packets in an lro_mgr structure, they're now held in
napi_struct.
For drivers that intend to use this, they can set the NETIF_F_GRO bit and
call napi_gro_receive instead of netif_receive_skb or just call netif_rx.
The latter will call napi_receive_skb automatically. When napi_gro_receive
is used, the driver must either call napi_complete/napi_rx_complete, or
call napi_gro_flush in softirq context if the driver uses the primitives
__napi_complete/__napi_rx_complete.
Protocols will set the gro_receive and gro_complete function pointers in
order to participate in this scheme.
In addition to the packet, gro_receive will get a list of currently held
packets. Each packet in the list has a same_flow field which is non-zero
if it is a potential match for the new packet. For each packet that may
match, they also have a flush field which is non-zero if the held packet
must not be merged with the new packet.
Once gro_receive has determined that the new skb matches a held packet,
the held packet may be processed immediately if the new skb cannot be
merged with it. In this case gro_receive should return the pointer to
the existing skb in gro_list. Otherwise the new skb should be merged into
the existing packet and NULL should be returned, unless the new skb makes
it impossible for any further merges to be made (e.g., FIN packet) where
the merged skb should be returned.
Whenever the skb is merged into an existing entry, the gro_receive
function should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->same_flow. Note that if an skb
merely matches an existing entry but can't be merged with it, then
this shouldn't be set.
If gro_receive finds it pointless to hold the new skb for future merging,
it should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush.
Held packets will be flushed by napi_gro_flush which is called by
napi_complete and napi_rx_complete.
Currently held packets are stored in a singly liked list just like LRO.
The list is limited to a maximum of 8 entries. In future, this may be
expanded to use a hash table to allow more flows to be held for merging.

net: Add frag_list support to GSO
This patch allows GSO to handle frag_list in a limited way for the
purposes of allowing packets merged by GRO to be refragmented on
output.
Most hardware won't (and aren't expected to) support handling GRO
frag_list packets directly. Therefore we will perform GSO in
software for those cases.
However, for drivers that can support it (such as virtual NICs) we
may not have to segment the packets at all.
Whether the added overhead of GRO/GSO is worthwhile for bridges
and routers when weighed against the benefit of potentially
increasing the MTU within the host is still an open question.
However, for the case of host nodes this is undoubtedly a win.
