git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/balbi/usb into usb-linus Felipe writes: usb: fixes for v3.8-rc5 Finally we have a build fix for fsl-mxc-udc UDC driver. We also have a fix for ep0 maxburst setting on DWC3 which could confuse the HW if we tell it we had way too many streams on that endpoint when it _has_ to be only one. cppi_dma support for MUSB got a fix when running as a module. By dropping the wrong __init annotation, the function will be available even when we're modules and we're done with .init.text section. Last, but not least, we have a fix on FunctionFS which was causing a bug on our option parsing algorithm.
2013-01-21net: move rx and tx hash functions to net/core/flow_dissector.cCong Wang
__skb_tx_hash() and __skb_get_rxhash() are all for calculating hash value based by some fields in skb, mostly used for selecting queues by device drivers. Meanwhile, net/core/dev.c is bloating.

2013-01-21net: cdc_mbim: send ZLP after max sized NTBsBjørn Mork
We normally avoid sending ZLPs by padding NTBs with a zero byte if the NTB is shorter than dwNtbOutMaxSize, resulting in a short USB packet instead of a ZLP. But in the case where the NTB length is exactly dwNtbOutMaxSize and this is an exact multiplum of wMaxPacketSize, then we must send a ZLP. This fixes an issue seen on a Sierra Wireless MC7710 device where the transmission would fail whenever we ended up padding the NTBs to max size.

2013-01-21net: cdc_ncm: workaround for missing CDC UnionBjørn Mork
Adding support for the MBIM mode in some Sierra Wireless devices. Some Sierra Wireless firmwares support CDC MBIM but have no CDC Union funtional descriptor. This violates the MBIM specification, but we can easily work around the bug by looking at the Interface Association Descriptor instead. This is most likely what Windows uses too, which explains how the firmware bug has gone unnoticed until now. This change will not affect any currently supported device conforming to the NCM or MBIM specifications, as they must have the CDC Union descriptor.

2013-01-21ipv4: Add a socket release callback for datagram socketsSteffen Klassert

2013-01-21ipv4: Invalidate the socket cached route on pmtu events if possibleSteffen Klassert
The route lookup in ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() might return a route different from the route we cached at the socket. This is because standart routes are per cpu, so each cpu has it's own struct rtable. This means that we do not invalidate the socket cached route if the NET_RX_SOFTIRQ is not served by the same cpu that the sending socket uses. As a result, the cached route reused until we disconnect. With this patch we invalidate the socket cached route if possible. If the socket is owened by the user, we can't update the cached route directly. A followup patch will implement socket release callback functions for datagram sockets to handle this case.

2013-01-21mcast: add multicast proxy support (IPv4 and IPv6)Nicolas Dichtel
This patch add the support of proxy multicast, ie being able to build a static multicast tree. It adds the support of (*,*) and (*,G) entries. The user should define an (*,*) entry which is not used for real forwarding. This entry defines the upstream in iif and contains all interfaces from the static tree in its oifs. It will be used to forward packet upstream when they come from an interface belonging to the static tree. Hence, the user should define (*,G) entries to build its static tree. Note that upstream interface must be part of oifs: packets are sent to all oifs interfaces except the input interface. This ensures to always join the whole static tree, even if the packet is not coming from the upstream interface.

2013-01-21Documentation: remove obsolete networking/multicast.txt filePaul Gortmaker
The original intent of this file was to list limitations in drivers/hardware relating to multicast use, back when some modest hardware from the early 1990s did not support things we might take for granted today. I was intending to delete some now-gone MCA/token ring entries in this file, but once I opened it, I found it only contained information on the earliest (pre-2000) linux networking drivers. Checking the git history shows that the file hasn't been touched since 2005. Clearly nobody is actively consulting this file as a meaningful reference. Rather than add a "YES YES YES" line for all of the drivers we currently have, lets just take advantage of the fact that nobody is using the file to delete it. This has the side benefit of not having to do a line-by-line deletion of the file content as each older driver is expired.

2013-01-21qeth: Support VEPA modeStefan Raspl
The existing port isolation mode 'forward' will now verify that the adjacent switch port supports the required reflective relay (RR) mode. This patch adds the required error handling for the cases where enabling port isolation mode 'forward' can now fail. Furthermore, once established, we never fall back from one of the port isolation modes to a non-isolated mode without further user-interaction. This includes cases where the isolation mode was enabled successfully, but ceases to work e.g. due to configuration changes at the switch port. Finally, configuring an isolation mode with the device being offline will make onlining the device fail permanently upon errors encountered until either errors are resolved or the isolation mode is changed by the user to a different mode.

2013-01-21Merge branch 'ipv6_ndisc'David S. Miller
YOSHIFUJI Hideaki says: ==================== This series of changes basically clean up NDISC logic, especially on sender side. We originally do For NS/NA/RS: 1) build temporary ICMPv6 header 2) ndisc_build_skb() with temporary ICMPv6 header and rather criptic arguments. - Calculate total length and allocate sk_buff - Build IPv6 header. - copy ICMPv6 header, additional data and ND options. - Fill-in ICMPv6 checksum. Here, structures defined for message format was not used at all, it is difficult to understand what is being sent, and it was not generic. 3) __ndisc_send() - Allocate temporary dst. - Send it. Several issues: - We could not defer decision if we should/can send some ND option. - It is hard to see the packet format at a glance. - ICMPv6 header was built as temporary variable, and then copied to the buffer. - Some code path for Redirect was not shared. With these patches, we do: 1) Calculate (or estimate) message length and option length. 2) Allocate skb (via new ndisc_skb_alloc()). 3) Fill-in ICMPv6 message directly using compound literals. 4) Fill-in ICMPv6 checksum 5) Build IPv6 header (including length) 6) Send the packet (via ndisc_send_skb()). - allocate temporary dst and send it. - We can defer calculating real length of the packet. For example, we can give up filling some option at when filling in. - Message is built directly without temporary buffer. - Structures defined for message format is easier to understand what is being built. - NS/NA/RS/Redirect share same logic. - Reduced code/data size: text data bss dec hex filename 265407 14133 3488 283028 45194 old/net/ipv6/ipv6.o 264955 14109 3488 282552 44fb8 new/net/ipv6/ipv6.o ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-01-21ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modulesSteven Rostedt
If some other kernel subsystem has a module notifier, and adds a kprobe to a ftrace mcount point (now that kprobes work on ftrace points), when the ftrace notifier runs it will fail and disable ftrace, as well as kprobes that are attached to ftrace points. Here's the error: WARNING: at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:1618 ftrace_bug+0x239/0x280() Hardware name: Bochs Modules linked in: fat(+) stap_56d28a51b3fe546293ca0700b10bcb29__8059(F) nfsv4 auth_rpcgss nfs dns_resolver fscache xt_nat iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat nf_conntrack lockd sunrpc ppdev parport_pc parport microcode virtio_net i2c_piix4 drm_kms_helper ttm drm i2c_core [last unloaded: bid_shared] Pid: 8068, comm: modprobe Tainted: GF 3.7.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc19.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8105e70f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff81134106>] ? __probe_kernel_read+0x46/0x70 [<ffffffffa0180000>] ? 0xffffffffa017ffff [<ffffffffa0180000>] ? 0xffffffffa017ffff [<ffffffff8105e76a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff810fd189>] ftrace_bug+0x239/0x280 [<ffffffff810fd626>] ftrace_process_locs+0x376/0x520 [<ffffffff810fefb7>] ftrace_module_notify+0x47/0x50 [<ffffffff8163912d>] notifier_call_chain+0x4d/0x70 [<ffffffff810882f8>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x58/0x80 [<ffffffff81088336>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x16/0x20 [<ffffffff810c2a23>] sys_init_module+0x73/0x220 [<ffffffff8163d719>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace 9ef46351e53bbf80 ]--- ftrace failed to modify [<ffffffffa0180000>] init_once+0x0/0x20 [fat] actual: cc:bb:d2:4b:e1 A kprobe was added to the init_once() function in the fat module on load. But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1). Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down. The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority. This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification closer to core modification.
