I can't tell if it's right, becuase it got all reformatted by your
mail client.

You simply need to make sure the arguments on the second and
further lines line up with the column after the openning
parenthesis on the first line.

Have done that, and made tests on a mips 32 running debian

The filter need to run with a pointer to the DST MAC. Perhaps you are
passing it the address of padding or Layer 3?

I will take a look at the patch...

That doesn't fix the bug.  What if someone transmits a packet and
fills the TX queue between the netif_queue_stopped() test and the
call to netif_wake_queue()?

Adding another test doesn't create the necessary synchronization.

Thank you for your review.
In the sh_eth_txfree(), it check the tx descriptors. If the tx descriptor
is completed, it calls dev_kfree_skb_irq(), and it returns value 1 or more.
So, the sh_eth_poll() calls netif_wake_queue() if the dev_kfree_skb_irq() is
called.

I will add netif_queue_stopped() in the sh_eth_poll().

I wlll remove the mdp->lock in the sh_eth_start_xmit().

Thank you for your suggestion.
I will add netif_tx_lock/unlock before and after netif_wake_queue().

Brief descriptions of the counters are in be_ethtool.c:
/* Received packets dropped due to lack of available HW packet buffers
  * used to temporarily hold the received packets.
  */
{DRVSTAT_INFO(rx_drops_no_pbuf)}

pbufs are HW buffers for parking incoming pkts before they are transferred to the host.
You can see this counter go up when the transfer speed of the slot is not fast enough.

You must update the indentation of all the lines comprising of the function
call when you change the indentation of it's initial line.

Please go through all of your patches in this series and fix that up.

how about add a function pointer append_data to the struct rt6_info?
so we can just call rt->append_data in ip6_append_data without conside
witch mode it is.

of course, we will set rt->append_data appropriatly in xfrm_lookup.

But the only problem is this will bloats up rt6_info,I don't konw if
it's worth doing it in this way.

* [PATCH 6/7] pch_gbe: Do not abort probe on bad MAC

In-Reply-To: <1337047891-2973-1-git-send-email-tomoya.rohm@gmail.com>

If the MAC is invalid or not implemented, do not abort the probe. Issue
a warning and prevent bringing the interface up until a MAC is set manually
(via ifconfig $IFACE hw ether $MAC).

Tested on two platforms, one with a valid MAC, the other without a MAC. The real
MAC is used if present, the interface fails to come up until the MAC is set on
the other. They successfully get an IP over DHCP and pass a simple ping and
login over ssh test.

This is meant to allow the Inforce SYS940X development board:
http://www.inforcecomputing.com/SYS940X_ECX.html
(and others suffering from a missing MAC) to work with the mainline kernel.
Without this patch, the probe will fail and the interface will not be created,
preventing the user from configuring the MAC manually.

This does not make any attempt to address a missing or invalid MAC for the
pch_phub driver.

I don't consider any of these appropriate this late in the -RC

They don't fix major regressions seen by many users.

And the duplicate header include is extremely out-of-scope and

I think your TX path is still extremely racey.

No locks are held here, so you tell me what happens if we execute:

> +	/* check txdesc */
> +	txfree_num = sh_eth_txfree(ndev);
> +	if (txfree_num)

and at this exact moment the queue was in fact already awake and
another thread of control transmits packets, and this action fills up
the TX queue and stops the queue.

>  		netif_wake_queue(ndev);

This will erroneously wake the queue and trigger the debugging
message in your TX function.

You need strict synchronization between your TX queueing and TX
liberation flows.  So that queue stop and wake are only performed
at the correct moment.

In fact, looking at how the mdp->lock is used in your TX routine, it
seems to protect absolutely against nothing.

Please read the TX flow of drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c to see
how to do this correctly, and lock free, in a NAPI driver.

sk_run_filter is always returning PTP_CLASS_NONE (0), instead of the 
correct type. Do you know what I am doing wrong? I can send you the 
patch I am working with...

The formatting of this expression is completely wrong, you need
to make the "l3_adj" in the second line be aligned with the openning
parenthesis on the previous line at a depth determined based upon
how deeply in the openning parenthesis context this expression sits.

Just using TABS is ugly, and not allowed.

Use something like emacs's "C mode" with Linux coding style enabled
to assist you if you can't figure it out yourself.

This is completely unrelated to the change you are trying to make in
this patch.

It belongs in a separate change.

Sorry, this needs to be fixed up.

I can almost understand using a comment formatting style I
disagree with, if you do so consistently.

But formatting them in THREE completely different ways?  Give me a
break:

That's just beyond silly, and the last two comments are right next to
eachother just combine them to one.

Go over your entire patch set and make sure that all of your comments
are of the form:

	/* Like
	 * this.
	 */
