Sathya Perla says: ==================== be2net: patch set Hi David, as the below patch-set includes minor bug fixes and some code re-org, pls consider applying it to the "net-next" tree. Thanks! Patch 1 fixes a bit of code duplication involving interface object creation code. Patch 2 ensures that when a flow-control FW cmd fails, the adapter state continues to reflect the old values. This allows for correct reporting on subsequent ethtool "get". Patch 3 returns proper error for link config change on BE3/Lancer Patch 4 adds a kernel log message for FW boot error on Lancer Patch 5 adds a function reset on Lancer as a part of the function init sequence. Patch 6 moves some FW-cmd definitions that belong in be_cmds.h, but were placed in be_hw.h Patch 7 resets the "bw_min" field while configuring "bw_max" needed for TX rate limiting config. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Romain Perier says: ==================== net: stmmac: dwmac-rk: Fix phy regulator issues This series fixes few issues in dwmac-rk: 1. Voltage settings was hardcoded into the driver for the phy regulator. The driver now uses the default voltage settings found in the devicetree, which are applied throught the regulator framework. 2. The regulator name used to power on or power off the phy was put in the devicetree variable "phy_regulator", which is not standard and added a lot of code for nothing. The driver now uses the devicetree property "phy-supply" and the corresponding functions to manipulate this regulator. The corresponding devicetree files are also updated. As this new binding for rk3288 has not been released with any official kernel yet (not until 3.20), I don't need to care about keeping compatibility with the old non standard property. ==================== Tested-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@sntech.de> Reviewed-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@sntech.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, dwmac-rk uses a custom propety "phy_regulator" to get the name of the right regulator to use to power on or power off the phy. This commit converts the driver to use phy-supply devicetree property and the corresponding API, it cleans the code a bit and make it simpler to maintain.

Always fully coalesce guest Rx packets into the minimum number of ring slots. Reducing the number of slots per packet has significant performance benefits when receiving off-host traffic.

2015-01-22igb: Indicate failure on vf reset for empty mac addressAlexander Graf
Commit 5ac6f91d changed the igb driver to expose a zero (empty) mac address to the VF on reset rather than a random one. However, that behavioral change also requires igbvf driver changes which can be hard especially when we want to talk to proprietary guest OSs. Looking at the code previous to the commit in Linux that made igbvf work with empty mac addresses (8d56b6d), we can see that on reset failure the driver will try to generate a new mac address with both the old and the new code. Furthermore, ixgbe does send reset failure when it detects an empty mac address (35055928c). So I think it's safe to make igb behave the same. With this patch I can successfully run a Windows 8.1 guest with an empty mac address and an assigned igbvf device that has no mac address set by the host. If anyone is aware of a guest driver that chokes on NACK returns of VF RESET commands, please speak up.

2015-01-22fm10k: Clean-up page reuse codeAlexander Duyck
This patch cleans up the page reuse code getting it into a state where all the workarounds needed are in place as well as cleaning up a few minor oversights such as using __free_pages instead of put_page to drop a locally allocated page. It also cleans up how we clear the descriptor status bits. Previously they were zeroed as a part of clearing the hdr_addr. However the hdr_addr is a 64 bit field and 64 bit writes can be a bit more expensive on on 32 bit systems. Since we are no longer using the header split feature the upper 32 bits of the address no longer need to be cleared. As a result we can just clear the status bits and leave the length and VLAN fields as-is which should provide more information in debugging.

2015-01-19net: bridge: reject DSA-enabled master netdevices as bridge membersFlorian Fainelli
DSA-enabled master network devices with a switch tagging protocol should strip the protocol specific format before handing the frame over to higher layer. When adding such a DSA master network device as a bridge member, we go through the following code path when receiving a frame: __netif_receive_skb_core -> first ptype check against ptype_all is not returning any handler for this skb -> check and invoke rx_handler: -> deliver frame to the bridge layer: br_handle_frame DSA registers a ptype handler with the fake ETH_XDSA ethertype, which is called *after* the bridge-layer rx_handler has run. br_handle_frame() tries to parse the frame it received from the DSA master network device, and will not be able to match any of its conditions and jumps straight at the end of the end of br_handle_frame() and returns RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED there. Since we returned RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED, __netif_receive_skb_core() stops RX processing for this frame and returns NET_RX_SUCCESS, so we never get a chance to call our switch tag packet processing logic and deliver frames to the DSA slave network devices, and so we do not get any functional bridge members at all. Instead of cluttering the bridge receive path with DSA-specific checks, and rely on assumptions about how __netif_receive_skb_core() is processing frames, we simply deny adding the DSA master network device (conduit interface) as a bridge member, leaving only the slave DSA network devices to be bridge members, since those will work correctly in all circumstances.
