      tcp: fix three tcp sysctls tuning · c5ed63d6
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      As discovered by Anton Blanchard, current code to autotune 
      tcp_death_row.sysctl_max_tw_buckets, sysctl_tcp_max_orphans and
      sysctl_max_syn_backlog makes little sense.
      
      The bigger a page is, the less tcp_max_orphans is : 4096 on a 512GB
      machine in Anton's case.
      
      (tcp_hashinfo.bhash_size * sizeof(struct inet_bind_hashbucket))
      is much bigger if spinlock debugging is on. Its wrong to select bigger
      limits in this case (where kernel structures are also bigger)
      
      bhash_size max is 65536, and we get this value even for small machines. 
      
      A better ground is to use size of ehash table, this also makes code
      shorter and more obvious.
      
      Based on a patch from Anton, and another from David.

      pxa168_eth: fix error handling in prope · 945c7c73
      Dan Carpenter authored
      
      A couple issues here:
      * Some resources weren't released.
      * If alloc_etherdev() failed it would have caused a NULL dereference
        because "pep" would be null when we checked "if (pep->clk)".
      * Also it's better to propagate the error codes from mdiobus_register()
        instead of just returning -ENOMEM.

      pxa168_eth: remove unneeded null check · 4169591f
      Dan Carpenter authored
      
      "pep->pd" isn't checked consistently in this function.  For example it's
      dereferenced unconditionally on the next line after the end of the if
      condition.  This function is only called from pxa168_eth_probe() and
      pep->pd is always non-NULL so I removed the check.

      phylib: Fix race between returning phydev and calling adjust_link · ef24b16b
      Anton Vorontsov authored
      
      It is possible that phylib will call adjust_link before returning
      from {,of_}phy_connect(), which may cause the following [very rare,
      though] oops upon reopening the device:
      
        Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x0000024c
        Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

        [c0d25f30] [c036c158] phy_state_machine+0x3ac/0x554
        [...]
      
      Here is why. Drivers store phydev in their private structures, e.g.
      gianfar driver:
      
      static int init_phy(struct net_device *dev)
      {
      	...
      	priv->phydev = of_phy_connect(...);
      	...
      }
      
      So that adjust_link could retrieve it back:
      
      static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev)
      {
      	...
      	struct phy_device *phydev = priv->phydev;
      	...
      }
      
      If the device has been opened before, then phydev->state is set to
      PHY_HALTED (or undefined if the driver didn't call phy_stop()).
      
      Now, phy_connect starts the PHY state machine before returning phydev to
      the driver:
      
      	phy_start_machine(phydev, NULL);
      
      	if (phydev->irq > 0)
      		phy_start_interrupts(phydev);
      
      	return phydev;
      
      The time between 'phy_start_machine()' and 'return phydev' is undefined.
      The start machine routine delays execution for 1 second, which is enough
      for most cases. But under heavy load, or if you're unlucky, it is quite
      possible that PHY state machine will execute before phy_connect()
      returns, and so adjust_link callback will try to dereference phydev,
      which is not yet ready.
      
      To fix the issue, simply initialize the PHY's state to PHY_READY during
      phy_attach(). This will ensure that phylib won't call adjust_link before
      phy_start().

      3c59x: Fix deadlock between boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_tx · aa25ab7d
      Neil Horman authored
      
      If netconsole is in use, there is a possibility for deadlock in 3c59x between
      boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit.  Both routines take the vp->lock,
      and if netconsole is in use, a pr_* call from the boomerang_interrupt routine
      will result in the netconsole code attempting to trnasmit an skb, which can try
      to take the same spin lock, resulting in deadlock.
      
      The fix is pretty straightforward.  This patch allocats a bit in the 3c59x
      private structure to indicate that its handling an interrupt.  If we get into
      the transmit routine and that bit is set, we can be sure that we have recursed
      and will deadlock if we continue, so instead we just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so
      the stack requeues the skb to try again later.

      __packed is only defined in kernel space, so we should use
      __attribute__((packed)) for the code shared between kernel and user space.
      
      Two __attribute() annotations are replaced with __attribute__() too.
