net: xen-netback: correctly restart Tx after a VM restore/migrate

2011-10-03T18:15:46+00:00

If a VM is saved and restored (or migrated) the netback driver will no longer process any Tx packets from the frontend. xenvif_up() does not schedule the processing of any pending Tx requests from the front end because the carrier is off. Without this initial kick the frontend just adds Tx requests to the ring without raising an event (until the ring is full). This was caused by 47103041e91794acdbc6165da0ae288d844c820b (net: xen-netback: convert to hw_features) which reordered the calls to xenvif_up() and netif_carrier_on() in xenvif_connect().

bonding: properly stop queuing work when requested

2011-10-03T17:48:20+00:00

During a test where a pair of bonding interfaces using ARP monitoring were both brought up and torn down (with an rmmod) repeatedly, a panic in the timer code was noticed. I tracked this down and determined that any of the bonding functions that ran as workqueue handlers and requeued more work might not properly exit when the module was removed. There was a flag protected by the bond lock called kill_timers that is set when the interface goes down or the module is removed, but many of the functions that monitor link status now unlock the bond lock to take rtnl first. There is a chance that another CPU running the rmmod could get the lock and set kill_timers after the first check has passed. This patch does not allow any function to queue work that will make itself run unless kill_timers is not set. I also noticed while doing this work that bond_resend_igmp_join_requests did not have a check for kill_timers, so I added the needed call there as well.

ibmveth: Fix oops on request_irq failure

2011-09-29T04:32:11+00:00

If request_irq fails, the ibmveth driver will overwrite the rc and end up returning a successful rc on its open function, resulting in an oops later when a packet gets sent and buffers are not allocated due to the failed open. Signed-off-by: Brian King Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dp83640: reduce driver noise

2011-09-29T04:32:04+00:00

The driver has two warning messages that might be triggered by normal use cases. When they appear, the messages give the impression of a never ending series of errors. This commit changes them to debug messages instead. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
