I believe my recent set of RFC/patches [1] provided good visibility on where
I would like to take eBPF subsystem. These two trivial patches is a first step
in that direction:
patch 1 - mechanical split of eBPF interpreter out of filter.c
patch 2 - nominate myself as a maintainer for eBPF core pieces
In the foreseeable future eBPF patches will be going through net-next,
so put netdev as a primary mailing list

Currently, although IP_MULTICAST_ALL and IP_MSFILTER ioctl calls succeed on
raw sockets, there is no code to implement the functionality on received
packets; it is only implemented for UDP sockets. The raw(7) man page states:
"In addition, all ip(7) IPPROTO_IP socket options valid for datagram sockets
are supported", which implies these ioctls should work on raw sockets.
To fix this, add a call to ip_mc_sf_allow on raw sockets.
This should not break any existing code, since the current position of
not calling ip_mc_sf_filter makes it behave as if neither the IP_MULTICAST_ALL
nor the IP_MSFILTER ioctl had been called. Adding the call to ip_mc_sf_allow
will therefore maintain the current behaviour so long as IP_MULTICAST_ALL and
IP_MSFILTER ioctls are not called. Any code that currently is calling
IP_MULTICAST_ALL or IP_MSFILTER ioctls on raw sockets presumably is wanting
the filter to be applied, although no filtering will currently be occurring.

rx busy polling support for virtio-net
This series introduces the support for rx busy polling support. This
was useful for reducing the latency for a kvm guest. Instead of
introducing new states and spinlocks, this series re-uses NAPI state
to synchonrize between NAPI and busy polling. This grealy simplified
the codes and reduce the overheads of spinlocks for normal NAPI fast
path.
Test was done between a kvm guest and an external host. Two hosts were
connected through 40gb mlx4 cards. With both busy_poll and busy_read
are set to 50 in guest, 1 byte netperf tcp_rr shows 127% improvement:
transaction rate was increased from 8353.33 to 18966.87.
Changes from V2:
- Avoid introducing new states and spinlocks by reusuing the NAPI

- Fix the budget calculation in virtnet_poll()
- Drop patch 1/3 from V2 since it was useless

When timestamping received packets, rx_timestamp_work may be scheduled
before the timestamps is received from the hardware resulting in the
packet beeing delivered without the timestamp.
This is fixed by changing the receive timestamp path:
On receiving a packet that need timestamping, the rxts list is
traversed. If a match is found, packet+timestamp are delivered,
otherwise the packet is added to a rx_queue.
When a timestamp arrives rx_queue is traversed and if a matching
packet is found, it is delivered with the timestamp. Otherwise the
timestamp is added to the rxts list for matching with packets arriving
later.
In case the hardware drops a timestamp, a workqueue regularly checks
the queue for old packets and delivers them without a timestamp.

When port is down dev_addr is changed (e.g. by bonding) but current_mac
is not touched. When port is up again, hash_mac is updated to dev_addr,
but current_mac isn't. This leads to inconsistency between current_mac
and mac_hash. Because of that, mlx4_en_replace_mac() fails to find
current_mac in mac_hash.
Fix is to reset current_mac to dev_addr when port is up - as we do for
mac_hash.

Now that all the users of mvpp2_bm_bufs_free() have been fixed, we can safely
clean the function prototype.
The function is always called to release all the buffers in a BM pool, and
the number of buffers freed is not needed. Therefore, we change the return
to a void, and remove the "num" parameter. This is a cosmetic change, to
make the code slightly cleaner.

After a call to mvpp2_bm_bufs_free(), the caller usually wants to know
if the function successfully freed the requested number. However, this
cannot be done by looking into the BM pool count, because the current
buffer count was updated by mvpp2_bm_bufs_free().
In fact, the current callers of mvpp2_bm_bufs_free() use it to release
all the buffers in the pool, so we can fix this by simply checking
if the pool is not empty.

Currently, the network interfaces that are not configured by the bootloader
(using e.g. tftp or ping) can detect the link status but are unable to
transmit data.
The network controller has a functionality that allows the hardware to
continuously poll the PHY and directly update the MAC configuration accordingly
(speed, duplex, etc.). However, this doesn't work well with phylib's
software-based polling and updating MAC configuration in the driver's callback.
This commit fixes this issue by:
1. Setting MVPP2_PHY_AN_STOP_SMI0_MASK in MVPP2_PHY_AN_CFG0_REG in
mvpp2_init(), which disables the harware polling feature.
2. Disabling MVPP2_GMAC_PCS_ENABLE_MASK bit in MVPP2_GMAC_CTRL_2_REG in

====================
pull request [net]: batman-adv 20140721
here you have two fixes that we have been testing for quite some time
(this is why they arrived a bit late in the rc cycle).
Patch 1) ensures that BLA packets get dropped and not forwarded to the
mesh even if they reach batman-adv within QinQ frames. Forwarding them
into the mesh means messing up with the TT database of other nodes which
can generate all kind of unexpected behaviours during route computation.
Patch 2) avoids a couple of race conditions triggered upon fast VLAN
deletion-addition. Such race conditions are pretty dangerous because
they not only create inconsistencies in the TT database of the nodes
in the network, but such scenario is also unrecoverable (unless
nodes are rebooted).
