2008-10-08dsa: add support for Trailer tagging formatLennert Buytenhek
This adds support for the Trailer switch tagging format. This is another tagging that doesn't explicitly mark tagged packets with a distinct ethertype, so that we need to add a similar hack in the receive path as for the Original DSA tagging format.

2008-10-08dsa: add support for the Marvell 88E6131 switch chipLennert Buytenhek
Add support for the Marvell 88E6131 switch chip. This chip only supports the original (ethertype-less) DSA tagging format. On the 88E6131, there is a PHY Polling Unit (PPU) which has exclusive access to each of the PHYs's MII management registers. If we want to talk to the PHYs from software, we have to disable the PPU and wait for it to complete its current transaction before we can do so, and we need to re-enable the PPU afterwards to make sure that the switch will notice changes in link state and speed on the individual ports as they occur. Since disabling the PPU is rather slow, and since MII management accesses are typically done in bursts, this patch keeps the PPU disabled for 10ms after a software access completes. This makes handling the PPU slightly more complex, but speeds up something like running ethtool on one of the switch slave interfaces from ~300ms to ~30ms on typical hardware.

2008-10-08dsa: add support for original DSA tagging formatLennert Buytenhek
Most of the DSA switches currently in the field do not support the Ethertype DSA tagging format that one of the previous patches added support for, but only the original DSA tagging format. The original DSA tagging format carries the same information as the Ethertype DSA tagging format, but with the difference that it does not have an ethertype field. In other words, when receiving a packet that is tagged with an original DSA tag, there is no way of telling in eth_type_trans() that this packet is in fact a DSA-tagged packet. This patch adds a hook into eth_type_trans() which is only compiled in if support for a switch chip that doesn't support Ethertype DSA is selected, and which checks whether there is a DSA switch driver instance attached to this network device which uses the old tag format. If so, it sets the protocol field to ETH_P_DSA without looking at the packet, so that the packet ends up in the right place.

2008-10-08net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol supportLennert Buytenhek
Distributed Switch Architecture is a protocol for managing hardware switch chips. It consists of a set of MII management registers and commands to configure the switch, and an ethernet header format to signal which of the ports of the switch a packet was received from or is intended to be sent to. The switches that this driver supports are typically embedded in access points and routers, and a typical setup with a DSA switch looks something like this: +-----------+ +-----------+ | | RGMII | | | +-------+ +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN") | | | 6-port +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1") | CPU | | ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2") | |MIImgmt| switch +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3") | +-------+ w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4") | | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ The switch driver presents each port on the switch as a separate network interface to Linux, polls the switch to maintain software link state of those ports, forwards MII management interface accesses to those network interfaces (e.g. as done by ethtool) to the switch, and exposes the switch's hardware statistics counters via the appropriate Linux kernel interfaces. This initial patch supports the MII management interface register layout of the Marvell 88E6123, 88E6161 and 88E6165 switch chips, and supports the "Ethertype DSA" packet tagging format. (There is no officially registered ethertype for the Ethertype DSA packet format, so we just grab a random one. The ethertype to use is programmed into the switch, and the switch driver uses the value of ETH_P_EDSA for this, so this define can be changed at any time in the future if the one we chose is allocated to another protocol or if Ethertype DSA gets its own officially registered ethertype, and everything will continue to work.)

2008-10-08gianfar: Create net device with carrier downTrent Piepho
The device's carrier status is controlled via the functions netif_carrier_on() and netif_carrier_off(). These set or clear a bit indicating the carrier (aka lower level link) is down, and if the state changed, they fire off a routing netlink event. Add a call to netif_carrier_off() before register_netdev() so that the newly created device will be set to carrier down. Then when the carrier comes up for the first time, a netlink event will be generated, as the carrier changed from down to up. Otherwise the initial carrier up will appear to be changing the status from up to up, and so no event is generated since that's not a change.

2008-10-08sctp: Rework the tsn map to use generic bitmap.Vlad Yasevich
The tsn map currently use is 4K large and is stuck inside the sctp_association structure making memory references REALLY expensive. What we really need is at most 4K worth of bits so the biggest map we would have is 512 bytes. Also, the map is only really usefull when we have gaps to store and report. As such, starting with minimal map of say 32 TSNs (bits) should be enough for normal low-loss operations. We can grow the map by some multiple of 32 along with some extra room any time we receive the TSN which would put us outside of the map boundry. As we close gaps, we can shift the map to rebase it on the latest TSN we've seen. This saves 4088 bytes per association just in the map alone along savings from the now unnecessary structure members.

2008-10-08udp: Improve port randomizationEric Dumazet
Current UDP port allocation is suboptimal. We select the shortest chain to chose a port (out of 512) that will hash in this shortest chain. First, it can lead to give not so ramdom ports and ease give attackers more opportunities to break the system. Second, it can consume a lot of CPU to scan all table in order to find the shortest chain. Third, in some pathological cases we can fail to find a free port even if they are plenty of them. This patch zap the search for a short chain and only use one random seed. Problem of getting long chains should be addressed in another way, since we can obtain long chains with non random ports.

2008-10-08pkt_sched: Update qdisc requeue stats in dev_requeue_skb()Jarek Poplawski
After the last change of requeuing there is no info about such incidents in tc stats. This patch updates the counter, but we should consider this should differ from previous stats because of additional checks preventing to repeat this. On the other hand, previous stats didn't include requeuing of gso_segmented skbs. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-10-08tcp: fix length used for checksum in a resetIlpo Järvinen
While looking for some common code I came across difference in checksum calculation between tcp_v6_send_(reset|ack) I couldn't explain. I checked both v4 and v6 and found out that both seem to have the same "feature". I couldn't find anything in rfc nor anywhere else which would state that md5 option should be ignored like it was in case of reset so I came to a conclusion that this is probably a genuine bug. I suspect that addition of md5 just was fooled by the excessive copy-paste code in those functions and the reset part was never tested well enough to find out the problem.
