* | e1000e: cleanup goto statements to exit points without common workBruce Allan2012-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per ./Documentation/CodingStyle, goto statements are acceptable for the centralized exiting of functions when there are multiple exit points which share common work such as cleanup. When no common work is required for multiple exit points, the function should just return at these exit points instead of doing an unnecessary jump to a centralized return. This patch cleans up the inappropriate use of goto statements, and removes unnecessary variables (or move to a smaller scope) where possible as a result of the cleanups.

First I had left the use of the next and prev skb pointers floating around in the code and they were overdue to be pulled since I had rewritten the RSC code in the out-of-tree driver some time ago to address issues brought up by David Miller in regards to this. I am also now defaulting to always leaving the first buffer unmapped on any packet and then unmapping it after we read the EOP descriptor. This allows a simplification of the path with less branching. Instead of counting packets received the code was changed some time ago to track the number of buffers received. This leads to inaccurate counting when you compare numbers of packets received by the hardware versus what is tracked by the software. To correct this I am revising things so that the append_cnt value for RSC accurately tracks the number of frames received.

| * ixgbe: ethtool: stats user buffer overrunJohn Fastabend2012-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the number of tx/rx queues changes the ethtool ioctl ETHTOOL_GSTATS may overrun the userspace buffer. This occurs because the general practice in user space to query stats is to issue a ETHTOOL_GSSET cmd to learn the buffer size needed, allocate the buffer, then call ETHTOOL_GSTIRNGS and ETHTOOL_GSTATS. If the number of real_num_queues is changed or flow control attributes are changed after ETHTOOL_GSSET but before the ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS/ETHTOOL_GSTATS a user space buffer overrun occurs. To fix the overrun always return the max buffer size needed from get_sset_count() then return all strings and stats from get_strings()/get_ethtool_stats(). This _will_ change the output from the ioctl() call which could break applications and script parsing in theory. I believe these changes should not break existing tools because the only changes will be more {tx|rx}_queues and the {tx|rx}_pb_* stats will always be returned. Existing scripts already need to handle changing number of queues because this occurs today depending on system and current features. The {tx|rx}_pb_* stats are at the end of the output and should be handled by scripts today regardless. Finally get_ethtool_stats and get_strings are free-form outputs tools parsing these outputs should be defensive anyways. In the end these updates are better then having a tool segfault because of a buffer overrun.
