can: bcm: initialize ifindex for timeouts without previous frame reception

2012-12-03T19:47:10Z

commit 81b401100c01d2357031e874689f89bd788d13cd upstream. Set in the rx_ifindex to pass the correct interface index in the case of a message timeout detection. Usually the rx_ifindex value is set at receive time. But when no CAN frame has been received the RX_TIMEOUT notification did not contain a valid value.

net: remove skb_orphan_try()

2012-07-16T16:03:48Z

[ Upstream commit 62b1a8ab9b3660bb820d8dfe23148ed6cda38574 ] Orphaning skb in dev_hard_start_xmit() makes bonding behavior unfriendly for applications sending big UDP bursts : Once packets pass the bonding device and come to real device, they might hit a full qdisc and be dropped. Without orphaning, the sender is automatically throttled because sk->sk_wmemalloc reaches sk->sk_sndbuf (assuming sk_sndbuf is not too big) We could try to defer the orphaning adding another test in dev_hard_start_xmit(), but all this seems of little gain, now that BQL tends to make packets more likely to be parked in Qdisc queues instead of NIC TX ring, in cases where performance matters.

can bcm: fix incomplete tx_setup fix

2011-09-29T19:33:47Z

The commit aabdcb0b553b9c9547b1a506b34d55a764745870 ("can bcm: fix tx_setup off-by-one errors") fixed only a part of the original problem reported by Andre Naujoks. It turned out that the original code needed to be re-ordered to reduce complexity and to finally fix the reported frame counting issues. Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

can bcm: fix tx_setup off-by-one errors

2011-09-29T04:32:09Z

This patch fixes two off-by-one errors that canceled each other out. Checking for the same condition two times in bcm_tx_timeout_tsklet() reduced the count of frames to be sent by one. This did not show up the first time tx_setup is invoked as an additional frame is sent due to TX_ANNONCE. Invoking a second tx_setup on the same item led to a reduced (by 1) number of sent frames.

can-gw: add netlink based CAN routing

2011-09-16T21:37:51Z

This patch adds a CAN Gateway/Router to route (and modify) CAN frames. It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly. CAN frames can *only* be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop). They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables. From the netlink view this can-gw implements RTM_{NEW|DEL|GET}ROUTE for PF_CAN. The CAN specific userspace tool to manage CAN routing entries can be found in the CAN utils http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/can-utils/cangw.c at the SocketCAN SVN on BerliOS.

rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER

2011-08-02T11:29:23Z

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon change to not handle the special case. Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value. //smpl @@ expression P; @@ - rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL) + RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL) // Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Paul E.
