Patrick McHardy says:

====================
The following patchset adds support for running TIPC over InfiniBand.
The patchset consists of three parts (+ a minor fix for the ethernet media
type):

- Preparation: removal of an the unused str2addr callback and move of the
  bcast_addr from struct tipc_media to struct tipc_bearer. This is necessary
  because InfiniBand doesn't have a fixed broadcast address like ethernet,
  so it needs to be initialized with the device's broadcast address when
  the bearer is enabled

- Introduction of a TIPC InfiniBand media type. A new media type is needed
  to deal with the different address sizes

- Support for ETH_P_TIPC in IPoIB

Since the last posting I've addressed all feedback I received and rebased
to the current net-next tree.

I consider these patches ready for merging. Since they mainly affect TIPC
code, I'd propose to have them either go through the TIPC tree or through
Dave directly (not sure how TIPC patches are managed).

- handle unicast TIPC packets similar to IPv4/IPv6 unicast packets

in ipoib_start_xmit().

An alternative would be to remove all ethertype limitations since they're
not necessary anymore, all TIPC needs to know about is ARP and RARP since

11 years agosctp: Add buffer utilization fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs
Dilip Daya [Tue, 16 Apr 2013 01:39:07 +0000 (01:39 +0000)]
sctp: Add buffer utilization fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs

sctp: Add buffer utilization fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs

This patch adds the following fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs output:

- sk->sk_wmem_alloc as "wmema" (transmit queue bytes committed)
- sk->sk_wmem_queued as "wmemq" (persistent queue size)
- sk->sk_sndbuf as "sndbuf" (size of send buffer in bytes)
- sk->sk_rcvbuf as "rcvbuf" (size of receive buffer in bytes)

When small DATA chunks containing 136 bytes data are sent the TX_QUEUE
(assoc->sndbuf_used) reaches a maximum of 40.9% of sk_sndbuf value when
peer.rwnd = 0. This was diagnosed from sk_wmem_alloc value reaching maximum
value of sk_sndbuf.

TX_QUEUE (assoc->sndbuf_used), sk_wmem_alloc and sk_wmem_queued values are
incremented in sctp_set_owner_w() for outgoing data chunks. Having access to
the above values in /proc/net/sctp/assocs will provide a better understanding
of SCTP buffer management.

It turns out the GSO engine frees the original gso_skb at the time the

We should instead call the tcp_wfree() destructor for the last fragment,

net/mlx4_core: Translate guest B0 steering rules to DMFS

The different steering modes are global to the device, with DMFS
being introduced after SRIOV was merged. Hence, SRIOV guests running
legacy / older Linux kernels or non-Linux drivers may provide
B0 steering directives when the hypervisor is using DMFS and fail.

Under B0 only L2 steering rules are allowed, hence B0 is a subset of DMFS.
Use this fact to enable such legacy guests to run by modifying the SRIOV
B0 steering wrapper to translate guest B0 directives to DMFS ones when
the device uses DMFS. The translated B0 rule has to be kept in the
resource tracker as a B0 object to allow for lookup in case of detach.

11 years agousbnet: handle link change
Ming Lei [Thu, 11 Apr 2013 04:40:40 +0000 (04:40 +0000)]
usbnet: handle link change

The link change is detected via the interrupt pipe, and bulk
pipes are responsible for transfering packets, so it is reasonable
to stop bulk transfer after link is reported as off.

Two adavantages may be obtained with stopping bulk transfer
after link becomes off:

- USB bus bandwidth is saved(USB bus is shared bus except for
USB3.0), for example, lots of 'IN' token packets and 'NYET'
handshake packets is transfered on 2.0 bus.

- probabaly power might be saved for usb host controller since
cancelling bulk transfer may disable the asynchronous schedule of
host controller.

With this patch, when link becomes off, about ~10% performance
boost can be found on bulk transfer of anther usb device which
is attached to same bus with the usbnet device, see below
test on next-20130410:

- read from usb mass storage(Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0) on pandaboard

working on Bluetooth coexistence."

For the sizeable batch of Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:

"This is our first batch of patches for 3.10. The biggest changes of this pull
request are from Johan Hedberg, he implemented a HCI request framework to make
life easier when we have to send many HCI commands and a block and wait for
all of the to finish, we were able to fix a few issues in stack with the
introduction of this framework.

Other than that Dean Jenkins did a good work cleaning the RFCOMM code, the
refcnt infrastructure was removed and now we use NULL pointer checks to know
when a object was freed or not. That code was buggy and now it looks a way
better.

The rest of changes are clean ups, fixes and small improvements all over the
Bluetooth subsystem."

Regarding the wl12xx bits, Luca says:

"Some patches intended for 3.10.  Mostly bug fixes and other small
improvements."

On top of that, there are updates to brcmfmac, brcmsmac, b43, ssb and
bcma, as well as mwifiex, rt2x00, and ath9k and a few others.  The most
notable bit is the addition of a new driver in the rtlwifi family.

====================
This patch and the following two patches add support for link flap avoidance
by maintaining the link on power down. This feature is required for
management capable devices to have the management connection
uninterrupted on driver reload, reboot and interface up/down.

The other pros of this feature are
 - It speeds up boot up time by several seconds as DHCP addresses can be
   acquired faster.
 - It avoids lengthy Spanning Tree delay.

On powerup the hardware brings up the phy with default settings. If the
link is not up, the management software configures the phy to gigabit
and starts autonegotiate. Subsequently, as long as the link is up, the
driver and management refrain from resetting and/or changing any
configuration that the link depends on.

The LNK_FLAP_AVOID setting is an NVRAM user configurable bit and is
disabled by default.  If this setting is enabled, we skip powering down
the phy and resetting it.

A second NVRAM setting is 1G_ON_VAUX_OK (off by default). This adds
support for gigabit link speed when device is on auxiliary power.
