net: dsa: Allow switch drivers to indicate number of TX queues

2017-09-05T18:53:34+00:00

Let switch drivers indicate how many TX queues they support. Some switches, such as Broadcom Starfighter 2 are designed with 8 egress queues. Future changes will allow us to leverage the queue mapping and direct the transmission towards a particular queue. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

flow_dissector: Cleanup control flow

2017-09-05T18:40:08+00:00

__skb_flow_dissect is riddled with gotos that make discerning the flow, debugging, and extending the capability difficult. This patch reorganizes things so that we only perform goto's after the two main switch statements (no gotos within the cases now). It also eliminates several goto labels so that there are only two labels that can be target for goto. Reported-by: Alexander Popov Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/ncsi: fix ncsi_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid references

2017-09-05T16:11:45+00:00

We get a new link error in allmodconfig kernels after ftgmac100 started using the ncsi helpers: ERROR: "ncsi_vlan_rx_kill_vid" [drivers/net/ethernet/faraday/ftgmac100.ko] undefined! ERROR: "ncsi_vlan_rx_add_vid" [drivers/net/ethernet/faraday/ftgmac100.ko] undefined! Related to that, we get another error when CONFIG_NET_NCSI is disabled: drivers/net/ethernet/faraday/ftgmac100.c:1626:25: error: 'ncsi_vlan_rx_add_vid' undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean 'ncsi_start_dev'? drivers/net/ethernet/faraday/ftgmac100.c:1627:26: error: 'ncsi_vlan_rx_kill_vid' undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean 'ncsi_vlan_rx_add_vid'? This fixes both problems at once, using a 'static inline' stub helper for the disabled case, and exporting the functions when they are present.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for next-net (part 2) The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next. This patchset includes updates for nf_tables, removal of CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG and a new mode for xt_hashlimit. More specifically, they: 1) Add new rate match mode for hashlimit, this introduces a new revision for this match. The idea is to stop matching packets until ratelimit criteria stands true. Patch from Vishwanath Pai. 2) Add ->select_ops indirection to nf_tables named objects, so we can choose between different flavours of the same object type, patch from Pablo M. Bermudo. 3) Shorter function names in nft_limit, basically: s/nft_limit_pkt_bytes/nft_limit_bytes, also from Pablo M. Bermudo. 4) Add new stateful limit named object type, this allows us to create limit policies that you can identify via name, also from Pablo. 5) Remove unused hooknum parameter in conntrack ->packet indirection. From Florian Westphal. 6) Patches to remove CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG and macros such as IP_NF_ASSERT and IP_NF_ASSERT. From Varsha Rao. 7) Add nf_tables_updchain() helper function and use it from nf_tables_newchain() to make it more maintainable. Similarly, add nf_tables_addchain() and use it too. 8) Add new netlink NLM_F_NONREC flag, this flag should only be used for deletion requests, specifically, to support non-recursive deletion. Based on what we discussed during NFWS'17 in Faro. 9) Use NLM_F_NONREC from table and sets in nf_tables. 10) Support for recursive chain deletion. Table and set deletion commands come with an implicit content flush on deletion, while chains do not. This patch addresses this inconsistency by adding the code to perform recursive chain deletions. This also comes with the bits to deal with the new NLM_F_NONREC netlink flag. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Remove CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG and _ASSERT() macros.

2017-09-04T11:25:20+00:00

This patch removes CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG and _ASSERT() macros as they are no longer required. Replace _ASSERT() macros with WARN_ON(). Signed-off-by: Varsha Rao Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

netfilter: nf_tables: add select_ops for stateful objects

2017-09-04T11:25:09+00:00

This patch adds support for overloading stateful objects operations through the select_ops() callback, just as it is implemented for expressions. This change is needed for upcoming additions to the stateful objects infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Pablo M. Bermudo Garay Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso
