How is this called in an atomic context?  The only caller of
flow_cache_flush() is __xfrm_garbage_collect() which is only invoked
during a NETDEV_DOWN event which ought to be non-atomic.

afinfo->garbage_collect is the only other place __xfrm_garbage_collect
is referenced, and that is completely unused and should thus be deleted
(I'll take care of that in net-next).

If NETDEV_DOWN notifier is in an atomic context, we need to accomodate
or fix that somehow.

* ICMP redirect issue
From: Flavio Leitner @ 2011-09-27 19:21 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev

Hi,

While investigating an issue on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, I found that
upstream commit below removed the old_gw check.

commit f39925dbde7788cfb96419c0f092b086aa325c0f
Author: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Date:   Wed Feb 9 22:00:16 2011 -0800

    ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.

The issue is about the gateway being a LVS, so the servers behind use
the IP alias address as the default gateway.  However, when the gateway
sends an ICMP redirect, it comes from the primary IP address which is
ignored on older kernels because of the old_gw check:

-                               if (rth->rt_dst != daddr ||
-                                   rth->rt_src != saddr ||
-                                   rth->dst.error ||
-                                   rth->rt_gateway != old_gw ||
-                                   rth->dst.dev != dev)
-                                       break;


Well, the consequence is that the issue doesn't happen in newer kernels
because it happily accepts the ICMP redirect.

The admin can still control using shared_media and secure_redirects if
the host should accept only the ICMP redirects for gateways listed in
default gateway list or not.

In terms of a security, if someone manages to send ICMP redirect, then
I think it possible to fake the saddr to appear as coming from the
correct gateway.

So, I'm not seeing a problem, but I was told to bring this up to netdev.
Thoughts?

thanks,
fbl

Could you guys please review:

	http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/115273/

My gut instinct is that the current behavior is intentional, but since
the patch submitter didn't describe exactly what the undesirable
behavior is it's hard to tell what the patch is actually fixing.

Thanks.

I'm finding this analysis hard to follow.

tg3_open() does netif_carrier_off(), and this will set the
__LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER bit.

And since the registration state of the device is not
NETREG_UNINITIALIZED it will fire off a linkwatch event too.

So whenever the netif_carrier_on() happens later, the bit will be set
when the test_and_clear_bit() happens there.  So the
test_and_clear_bit() will not return false.

The registration state is not NETREG_UNINITIALIZED, so (again) that
will not block the linkwatch event from firing.

I disagree.

According to my reading, we must filter at least the addresses ending in
4-D or F, while forwarding of the others should be configurable.

This table is informative, non normative.  The text below refers to
802.1D table 7-9 (apparently should be 7-10) and 802.1Q table 8-1 as the
sources.

802.1D-2004 section 7.12.6, Reserved addresses, says:

        Frames containing any of the group MAC Addresses specified in
        Table 7-10 in their destination address field shall not be
        relayed by the Bridge. They are configured in the Permanent
        Database. Management shall not provide the capability to modify
        or remove these entries from the Permanent or the Filtering
        Databases.

In table 7-10 the reserved addresses are those with last digit in the
range 4-F.

802.1Q-2005 section 8.6.3, Frame filtering, says:

        Each of the Reserved MAC Addresses specified in Table 8-1 shall
        be permanently configured in the Filtering Database in
        VLAN-aware Bridges. The Filtering Database Entries for Reserved
        MAC Addresses shall specify filtering for all Bridge Ports and
        all VLANs. Management shall not provide the capability to modify
        or remove entries for Reserved MAC Addresses.

In table 8-1 the reserved addresses are those with last digit in the
range 4-D or F.

w5300_write expects an u16: the u8 will be correctly expanded before the shift
even if you remove the casts.

Btw this is nothing more than

	for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
		u16 size = (wp->rxbuf_conf[2*i] << 8) | wp->rxbuf_conf[2*i + 1];

		w5300_write(wp, RMSR0 + 2*i, size);
	}

It may even save a few bytes if you factor it out with a method accepting
{ wp->rxbuf_conf, RMSR0 } (resp. { wp->txbuf_conf, TMSR0 }) as parameters.

Either you use an already allocated buffer (it could even be static) or
you loop with a small on-stack buffer.

Hello Wolfgang,

i double checked a specification where i got my requirement to influence the
SJW value from. It says (non literally):

    "Put the SJW to the highest possible value only reduced by tseg2."

The fact that this requirement might no fit to any CAN setup or may not be  in
best academical shape is not my problem. My requirement is to provide an easy
way to move the SJW away from it's default value, which is currently
hard-coded to 1 in the can-dev framework when using it's bittiming calculation
function.

As almost everything is already done (only the provided SJW is not evaluated
in dev.c) this patch is IMO an valid option to support it. If Joe user can
tune the sampling point, why should he not be able to influence the SJW if he
thinks, he knows what he's doing?

Especially as the good working bittiming calculation is not touched in any way
and the default SJW remains 1 (even if '0' is provided as user input).

Regards,
Oliver

From: Jonathan Lallinger @ 2011-09-27 17:26 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller; +Cc: netdev
In-Reply-To: <20110927.013247.336618301904552114.davem@davemloft.net>

Hello David,

I am ashamed I made the same mistake twice. This happened because I had 
two git trees (I made a second one when kernel.org went down based off 
the github remote). I fixed, built, and ran several tests on the patch, 
and then sent the wrong patch from an old git tree (which was never 
build tested).

I can assure you I have a working patch, and it has been tested by the 
QA group at Chelsio and it builds/runs but there are still additional 
bugs in rds. So once I resolve those I will resend the correct patch 
with some additional fixes.

I am sorry about this and it won't happen again.

Thanks,
  Jonathan

* [PATCH net-next] skge: handle irq better on single port card
From: Stephen Hemminger @ 2011-09-27 17:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller; +Cc: netdev

Most boards with SysKonnect/Marvell Ethernet have only a single port.
For the single port case, use the standard Ethernet driver convention
of allocating IRQ when device is brought up rather than at probe time.

This patch also adds some additional read after writes to avoid any
PCI posting problems when setting the IRQ mask.

The error handling of dual port cards is also changed.  If second port
can not be brought up, then just fail. No point in continuing, since
the failure is most certainly because of out of memory.

It is worth noting that the dual port skge device has a single irq but two
seperate status rings and therefore has two NAPI objects, one for
each port.

When you say 92% of packets are received are you talking about 92% of 
line rate which would be somewhere around 14.8Mpps?

This more or less confirms what I was thinking.  You are likely hitting 
the PCIe limits of the adapters.  The overhead for 64 byte packets is 
too great and as a result you are exceeding the PCIe bandwidth available 
to the adapter.  In order to achieve line  rate on both ports you would 
likely need to increase your packet size to something along the lines of 
256 bytes so that the additional PCIe overhead only contributes 50% or 
less to the total PCIe traffic across the bus.  Then the 2.5Gb/s of 
network traffic should consume less than 4.0GT/s of PCIe traffic.

Thanks,

It looks like this comes via the bootmem allocator. Maybe we could
simply call kmemleak_free() on the embedded percpu space and just track
those via the standard percpu API.

Thanks for suggestions. I need to understand the percpu code a bit
better as it looks that kmemleak is told about some memory blocks twice.
