Marc Kleine-Budde says: ==================== here's a pull request for net-next. It includes a patch by Oliver Hartkopp et al. that adds documentation for the broadcast manager to Documentation/networking/can.txt. Three patches by me that clean up the netlink handling code in the CAN core. And another patch that removes a not needed function from the ti_hecc driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-04tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow startYuchung Cheng
Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets, regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK, GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1) to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase. In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start (LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow start (hystart) enabled by default.

2013-11-04tcp: enable sockets to use MSG_FASTOPEN by defaultYuchung Cheng
Applications have started to use Fast Open (e.g., Chrome browser has such an optional flag) and the feature has gone through several generations of kernels since 3.7 with many real network tests. It's time to enable this flag by default for applications to test more conveniently and extensively.

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h drivers/net/netconsole.c net/bridge/br_private.h Three mostly trivial conflicts. The net/bridge/br_private.h conflict was a function signature (argument addition) change overlapping with the extern removals from Joe Perches. In drivers/net/netconsole.c we had one change adjusting a printk message whilst another changed "printk(KERN_INFO" into "pr_info(". Lastly, the emulex change was a new inline function addition overlapping with Joe Perches's extern removals. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-11-03net: extend net_device allocation to vmalloc()Eric Dumazet
Joby Poriyath provided a xen-netback patch to reduce the size of xenvif structure as some netdev allocation could fail under memory pressure/fragmentation. This patch is handling the problem at the core level, allowing any netdev structures to use vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed. As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path, add __GFP_REPEAT to kzalloc() flags to do this fallback only when really needed.

From Eric W Biederman. 12) IPSEC policies can go away while a timer is still pending for them, add appropriate ref-counting to fix, from Steffen Klassert. 13) Fix mis-programming of FDR and RMCR registers on R8A7740 sh_eth chips, from Nguyen Hong Ky and Simon Horman. 14) MLX4 forgets to DMA unmap pages on RX, fix from Amir Vadai. 15) IPV6 GRE tunnel MTU upper limit is miscalculated, from Oussama Ghorbel. 16) Fix typo in fq_change(), we were assigning "initial quantum" to "quantum". From Eric Dumazet. 17) Set a more appropriate sk_pacing_rate for non-TCP sockets, otherwise FQ packet scheduler does not pace those flows properly. Also from Eric Dumazet. 18) rtlwifi miscalculates packet pointers, from Mark Cave-Ayland. 19) l2tp_xmit_skb() can be called from process context, not just softirq context, so we must always make sure to BH disable around it. From Eric Dumazet. 20) On qdisc reset, we forget to purge the RB tree of SKBs in netem packet scheduler. From Stephen Hemminger. 21) Fix info leak in farsync WAN driver ioctl() handler, from Dan Carpenter and Salva Peiró. 22) Fix PHY reset and other issues in dm9000 driver, from Nikita Kiryanov and Michael Abbott. 23) When hardware can do SCTP crc32 checksums, we accidently don't disable the csum offload when IPSEC transformations have been applied.

We mix up the users requested destination address with the routes assigned nexthop/gateway. From Julian Anastasov and Simon Horman. 35) Fix stack overruns in rt6_probe(), the issue is that can end up doing two full packet xmit paths at the same time when emitting neighbour discovery messages.

Currently IEEE 1588 timer reference clock source is determined through hard-coded value in gianfar_ptp driver. This patch allows to select ptp clock source by means of device tree file node. For instance: fsl,cksel = <0>; for using external (TSEC_TMR_CLK input) high precision timer reference clock. Other acceptable values: <1> : eTSEC system clock <2> : eTSEC1 transmit clock <3> : RTC clock input When this attribute isn't used, eTSEC system clock will serve as IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.

2013-09-30block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsingPaul Gortmaker
Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot arg processing, when it really is block specific. Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_ prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it is block specific. In addition, fix up the following less critical items: - help text was not really at all helpful. - index file for Documentation was not updated - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt - clarify wording in source comments Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Cai Zhiyong <caizhiyong@huawei.com> Cc: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-09-30powerpc/83xx: gianfar_ptp: select 1588 clock source through dts fileAida Mynzhasova
Currently IEEE 1588 timer reference clock source is determined through hard-coded value in gianfar_ptp driver. This patch allows to select ptp clock source by means of device tree file node. For instance: fsl,cksel = <0>; for using external (TSEC_TMR_CLK input) high precision timer reference clock. Other acceptable values: <1> : eTSEC system clock <2> : eTSEC1 transmit clock <3> : RTC clock input When this attribute isn't used, eTSEC system clock will serve as IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.

2013-09-24drivers: net: cpsw-phy-sel: Add new driver for phy mode selection for cpswMugunthan V N
The cpsw currently lacks code to properly set up the hardware interface mode on AM33xx. Other platforms might be equally affected. Usually, the bootloader will configure the control module register, so probably that's why such support wasn't needed in the past. In suspend mode though, this register is modified, and so it needs reprogramming after resume. This patch adds a new driver in which hardware interface can configure correct register bits when the slave is opened. The AM33xx also has a bit for each slave to configure the RMII reference clock direction. Setting it is now supported by a per-slave DT property. This code path introducted by this patch is currently exclusive for am33xx and same can be extened to various platforms via the DT compatibility property.

Currently DT compatibility strings of both types can be found in the kernel sources: <unit>-<soc> and <soc>-<unit>, whereas a unique format should be followed and the former one is preferred. This patch converts the SDHI MMC driver and its users to the common standard. This is safe for now, since ATM no real products are using this driver with DT.
