2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-01-23e1000/e1000e: don't use small hardware rx buffersJesse Brandeburg
When testing the "e1000: enhance frame fragment detection" (and e1000e) patches we found some bugs with reducing the MTU size. The 1024 byte descriptor used with the 1000 mtu test also (re) introduced the (originally) reported bug, and causes us to need the e1000_clean_tx_irq "enhance frame fragment detection" fix. So what has occured here is that 2.6.32 is only vulnerable for mtu < 1500 due to the jumbo specific routines in both e1000 and e1000e. So, 2.6.32 needs the 2kB buffer len fix for those smaller MTUs, but is not vulnerable to the original issue reported. It has been pointed out that this vulnerability needs to be patched in older kernels that don't have the e1000 jumbo routine. Without the jumbo routines, we need the "enhance frame fragment detection" fix the e1000, old e1000e is only vulnerable for < 1500 mtu, and needs a similar fix. We split the patches up to provide easy backport paths. There is only a slight bit of extra code when this fix and the original "enhance frame fragment detection" fixes are applied, so please apply both, even though it is a bit of overkill.

2009-11-21e1000e: update Tx Unit hang detection messageBruce Allan
The Tx unit hang detection code in e1000e detects other hangs caused by hardware components (e.g. Rx, DMA units), but it is not possible to detect exactly which component is hung so it has always assumed a Tx unit hang. When dumping a message to the system log because of a hang, this patch adds more data to help narrow the cause of the issue and makes the message non-Tx-specific. Because this new code reads PHY registers which can sleep, move it off to a workqueue. This and all previously existing work tasks in the driver are now cancelled when the driver is removed.

The driver was only updating MII stats when an LSC up was detected and the interface had not already been reported up to netdev. This meant MII stats returned in response to an SIOCGMIIREG ioctl would always show a link up if it had ever been up. This was misleading the networking daemon guessnet, which uses this ioctl, into making improper network port selections.
