* e1000: use netif_<level> instead of netdev_<level>Emil Tantilov2010-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch restores the ability to set msglvl through ethtool.

* e1000: allow option to limit number of descriptors down to 48 per ringAlexander Duyck2010-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | This change makes it possible to limit the number of descriptors down to 48 per ring. The reason for this change is to address a variation on hardware errata 10 for 82546GB in which descriptors will be lost if more than 32 descriptors are fetched and the PCI-X MRBC is 512.

* e1000: Fix message logging defectJoe Perches2010-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 675ad47375c76a7c3be4ace9554d92cd55518ced removed the capability to use ethtool.set_msglevel to control the types of messages emitted by the driver. That commit should probably be reverted. If not, then this patch fixes a message logging defect introduced by converting a printk without KERN_<level> to e_info. This also reduces text by about 200 bytes.

* ixgb and e1000: Use new function for copybreak testsJoe Perches2010-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There appears to be an off-by-1 defect in the maximum packet size copied when copybreak is speified in these modules. The copybreak module params are specified as: "Maximum size of packet that is copied to a new buffer on receive" The tests are changed from "< copybreak" to "<= copybreak" and moved into new static functions for readability.

* e1000: fix WARN_ON with mac-vlanJesse Brandeburg2010-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | When adding more than 14 mac-vlan adapters on e1000 the driver would fire a WARN_ON when adding the 15th. The WARN_ON in this case is completely un-necessary, as the code below the WARN_ON is directly handling the value the WARN_ON triggered on.

* drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()sJoe Perches2010-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the last closing brace of void functions. It does not remove the returns that are immediately preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that. It also does not remove null void functions with return. Done via: $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \ xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }' with some cleanups by hand.

* e1000/e1000e: implement a simple interrupt moderationJesse Brandeburg2010-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back before e1000-7.3.20, the e1000 driver had a simple algorithm that managed interrupt moderation. The driver was updated in 7.3.20 to have the new "adaptive" interrupt moderation but we have customer requests to redeploy the old way as an option. This patch adds the old functionality back. The new functionality can be enabled via module parameter or at runtime via ethtool. Module parameter: (InterruptThrottleRate=4) to use this new moderation method.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is an alternative to similar patch provided by Joe Perches. Substitute DPRINTK macro for e_<level> that uses netdev_<level> and dev_<level> similar to e1000e. - Convert printk to pr_<level> where applicable. - Use common #define pr_fmt for the driver. - Use dev_<level> for displaying text in parts of the driver where the interface name is not assigned (like e1000_param.c). - Better align test with the new macros.

| * e1000/e1000e: don't use small hardware rx buffersJesse Brandeburg2010-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally From: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Modified by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Hey all- A security discussion was recently given: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html And a patch that I submitted awhile back was brought up. Apparently some of their testing revealed that they were able to force a buffer fragment in e1000 in which the trailing fragment was greater than 4 bytes. As a result the fragment check I introduced failed to detect the fragement and a partial invalid frame was passed up into the network stack. I've written this patch to correct it. I'm in the process of testing it now, but it makes good logical sense to me. Effectively it maintains a per-adapter state variable which detects a non-EOP frame, and discards it and subsequent non-EOP frames leading up to _and_ _including_ the next positive-EOP frame (as it is by definition the last fragment). This should prevent any and all partial frames from entering the network stack from e1000.

* e1000: Fix for e1000 kills IPMI on a tagged vlan.Graham, David2009-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enabling VLAN filters (VFE) when the primary interface is brought up (per commit 78ed11a) has caused problems for some users who manage their systems using IPMI over a VLAN. This is because when the driver enables the VLAN filter, this same filter table is enabled for the management channel, and the table is initially empty, which means that the IPMI/VLAN packets are filtered out and not received by the BMC. This is a problem only on e1000 class adapters, as it is only on e1000 that the filter table is common to the management and host streams. With this change, filtering is only enabled when one or more host VLANs exist, and is disabled when the last host VLAN is removed. VLAN filtering is always disabled when the primary interface is in promiscuous mode, and will be (re)enabled if VLANs exist when the interface exits promiscuous mode. Note that this does not completely resolve the issue for those using VLAN management, because if the host adds a VLAN, then the above problem occurs when that VLAN is enabled. However, it does mean the there is no problem for configurations where management is on a VLAN and the host is not. A complete solution to this issue would require further driver changes. The driver would need to discover if (and which) management VLANs are active before enabling VLAN filtering, so that it could ensure that the managed VLANs are included in the VLAN filter table. This discovery requires that the BMC identifies its VLAN in registers accessible to the driver, and at least on Dell PE2850 systems the BMC does not identify its VLAN to allow such discovery. Intel is pursuing this issue with the BMC vendor.
