* ALX driver fails to resume from suspend on 3.11
From: Josh Boyer @ 2013-09-25 17:13 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: James Cliburn, Chris Snook, Johannes Berg; +Cc: netdev, David Miller

Hi All,

We've had a couple reports [1] of the ALX module causing issues on
resume from suspend.  The reporters say their logs are flooded with
messages like:

alx 0000:04:00.0: invalid PHY speed/duplex: 0xffff

This was working fine in the 3.10 kernel.  Does anyone have any ideas
why this would be occurring now?

* Re: [PATCH] Allow userspace code to use flag IFA_F_SECONDARY to specify an ip address to be primary or secondary ip on an interface

I think it is good idea to add these preferences flags and sorted
them, but my code knowledge is limited to implement it  as I am still
learning, I can help testing :)

'They is'?  This error is also in the commit messsages for the bridge
and mac80211 patches, and maybe others that weren't sent to netdev.

* [PATCH 0/8 V4] rtlwifi: Patches to fix problems shown by smatch
From: Larry Finger @ 2013-09-25 17:57 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linville-2XuSBdqkA4R54TAoqtyWWQ
  Cc: linux-wireless-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA, Larry Finger,
	netdev-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA

Fix smatch warnings and errors in the rtlwifi family of drivers.

V2 addresses comments by David Laight and Sergei Shtylyov.
V3 addresses further comments by David, Sergei, and Kalle Valo. The
   dead code is removed, and the variable is left in the struct.
V4 Fixes extra line removed by accident from rtl8192de/hw.c as
   noted by Sergei

* [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] bonding: modify the current and add new hash functions
From: Nikolay Aleksandrov @ 2013-09-25 18:31 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev; +Cc: davem, andy, fubar, eric.dumazet, vfalico

Hi all,
This is a complete remake of my old patch that modified the bonding hash
functions to use skb_flow_dissect which was suggested by Eric Dumazet.
This time around I've left the old modes although using a new hash function
again suggested by Eric, which is the same for all modes. The only
difference is the way the headers are obtained. The old modes obtain them
as before in order to address concerns about speed, but the 2 new ones use
skb_flow_dissect. The unification of the hash function allows to remove a
pointer from struct bonding and also a few extra functions that dealt with
it. Two new functions are added which take care of the hashing based on
bond->params.xmit_policy only:
bond_xmit_hash() - global function, used by XOR and 3ad modes
bond_flow_dissect() - used by bond_xmit_hash() to obtain the necessary
headers and combine them according to bond->params.xmit_policy.
Also factor out the ports extraction from skb_flow_dissect and add a new
function - skb_flow_get_ports() which can be re-used.

v2: add the flow_dissector patch and use skb_flow_get_ports in patch 02

Best regards,
 Nikolay Aleksandrov

* [PATCH net-next v2 2/3] bonding: modify the old and add new xmit hash policies
From: Nikolay Aleksandrov @ 2013-09-25 18:31 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev; +Cc: davem, andy, fubar, eric.dumazet, vfalico
In-Reply-To: <1380133912-1240-1-git-send-email-nikolay@redhat.com>

This patch adds two new hash policy modes which use skb_flow_dissect:
3 - Encapsulated layer 2+3
4 - Encapsulated layer 3+4
There should be a good improvement for tunnel users in those modes.
It also changes the old hash functions to:
hash ^= (__force u32)flow.dst ^ (__force u32)flow.src;
hash ^= (hash >> 16);
hash ^= (hash >> 8);

Where hash will be initialized either to L2 hash, that is
SRCMAC[5] XOR DSTMAC[5], or to flow->ports which should be extracted
from the upper layer. Flow's dst and src are also extracted based on the
xmit policy either directly from the buffer or by using skb_flow_dissect,
but in both cases if the protocol is IPv6 then dst and src are obtained by
ipv6_addr_hash() on the real addresses. In case of a non-dissectable
packet, the algorithms fall back to L2 hashing.
The bond_set_mode_ops() function is now obsolete and thus deleted
because it was used only to set the proper hash policy. Also we trim a
pointer from struct bonding because we no longer need to keep the hash
function, now there's only a single hash function - bond_xmit_hash that
works based on bond->params.xmit_policy.

The hash function and skb_flow_dissect were suggested by Eric Dumazet.
The layer names were suggested by Andy Gospodarek, because I suck at
semantics.

v2: fix a bug in bond_flow_dissect which might've caused the use of
    uninitalized flow_keys and make use of skb_flow_get_ports
One line is intentionally left at 82 chars since it's the whole function
and IMO looks better that way.

This is expected and correct behavior.

This is a long standing and well known issue.

The problem is that it used to be the case that before you put an IP
address on an interface, you couldn't even receive broadcast UDP
frames on a UDP socket.

So all DHCP implementations use AF_PACKET sockets in promiscuous mode
to deal with this.

These days you can actually receive broadcast frames on an interface
which hasn't had an IP assigned to it yet, due to some routing check
changes that were made a few years ago, but this support obviously not
present in older kernels.

Compound this with the pain that it would take to adjust all the
various DHCP implementations to not only support this, but have
the fallback code too.

* [PATCH 01/11] vmxnet3: Remove extern from function prototypes
From: Joe Perches @ 2013-09-25 19:37 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev; +Cc: David S. Miller, Shreyas Bhatewara, VMware, Inc., linux-kernel
In-Reply-To: <cover.1380137609.git.joe@perches.com>

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
