Please only return an error if value > 1.

Also, if there is any place where user can configure pkt_dev,
you would want code there to check for the CANT_SHARE_SKB flag
and force clone_skb to zero if user changes to a different
device that cannot share skbs.

I don't know the answer to that, but I have added Chaoming Li to the Cc. He will

OK, so maybe providing the link event on suspend/resume should be
left to the drivers.

The main problem persists: IPv6 currently does nothing when the link goes
down and returns. Shouldn't the kernel anticipate that the new
network could be different, forget all the autoconfigured
parameters and restart the autoconfiguration?

Faking a link event seems like a hack.  We had this problem with the
wifi stack a while ago where the current AP list wasn't expired on
wakeup so it still looked like the APs that were there when you went to
sleep were there when you resumed even if you'd moved 100 miles.  What
we did there was save the current time (using get_seconds()) when
suspending, and in the resume handler use that value to age anything
that needs to know about time spent in suspend, and then do what needs
to be done with that.  So something like that may work for IPv6
addrconf; on suspend save current time, and on resume check the current
time, subtract the time you saved on suspend, and magically add that to
the lifetime counts and then run any expiry stuff.

My point was that the logic isn't the same, even though
you said 'it is equal to'.
Same applies to upend_idx == 1, done_idx == 0.

What hardware?

I think the normal solution is to have the device drop the link
during it's suspend and then attempt to renegotiate it on resume.
This is needed for wired (autonegotiation) and wireless already.
There maybe old drivers that don't do this. That is probably why
Ubuntu and other distro's used to rmmod the drivers during suspend.

If the driver drops the link during suspend then the necessary link
events happen to keep bridging, ipv6, bonding and all the other possible
network protocols happy.

 Maybe then by removing cache, but using ifindex option, and maybe even 
 adding in output additional ifindex field (for show commands), we can 
 leave user to implement his own caching?

 Another thing, on tc -s -d qdisc show, if there is many interfaces, 
 without cache on each line ll_index_to_name() it will be CPU and netlink 
 hog to retrieve all interface names again and again, especially if there 
 is too many intefaces.

I assumed you wanted to use netdev->features and I noticed priv_flags
just now. If the flag is supposed to be permanent then its fine by me.
Actually this makes me wonder if NETIF_F_LLTX and similar should get
moved to netdev->priv_flags.

Hey Larry.

rtlwifi has a CONFIG_BT_COEXIST which is currently
unused/undefined by Kconfig.

Are there plans to enable this or should the code
just be removed?

There may be a few dependencies in rtlwifi for
variables set in this block so it seems from
superficial reading that removal might be a bit
involved.  I didn't look much more than that,
but struct btcoexist_priv doesn't seem to be
specified by the code anywhere.

Forget it - it's good.

I need to think about calling ndo_set_features callback at end of
register_netdev() so the drivers won't need to duplicate the
call/configuration in their ndo_init.

The problem is that it is not possible to make a "safe" cache since
it is possible for network device names to be changed at any time.

 It is good, but it must be controlled. Also people put some efforts to 
 improve it...
 Before i did custom patch to "trash" the cache, but after cache 
 improved i should rewrite it. If required, i can make cache behavior 
 changeable (on,off,flush ?).
 Will it help for you too?

 I think ifindex is good anyway, because sometimes it is better to refer 
 to specific ppp interface by ifindex.

Use the current logging styles.
Add pr_fmt where appropriate.
Remove now unnecessary prefixes from printks.
Convert hard coded prefix to __func__.
Add a missing "\n" to a format.

Just remove this line - nes_fix_features() is controlling the flag anyway.

We don't hit upend_idx == done_idx == 0. Only upend_idx == done_idx ==
UIO_MAXIOV could happen if the lower device has issue and never DMA any
packets out.

Ok, I can agree with that.  But you're ok with the general approach?

Isn't that exactly what this does?  Disallows a user from issuing the cone_skb
command in a pktgen script if the underlying driver can't support the sharing of
skbs.

Yes. this doesn't preclude that unless you see something I dont

If caching is a problem, I would rather just get rid of the cache altogether.
There are a number of other places where it is a problem as well.
