| Ayaz Abdulla | [PATCH] forcedeth: tx timeout fix
This patch fixes the tx_timeout() to properly handle the clean up of the
tx ring. It also sets the tx put pointer back to the correct position to
be in sync with HW.

| Grant Likely | [PATCH 00/13] OF device tree handling of PHY drivers
This series adds common code for reading PHY connection data out of
the OpenFirmware device tree. This simplifies the network drivers
which use the device tree and which currently implement their own
solutions for reading the PHY data out of the device tree directly.
I would like to see this series, or at least the core changes (1-4)
plus the tested drivers (5-8 & 12, but #12 is a new driver and it
may need more review), go into -next for 2.6.31.
Due to dependencies, I think it is easiest if ...

From: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
Add phy_connect_direct() and phy_attach_direct() functions so that
drivers can use a pointer to the phy_device instead of trying to determine
the phy's bus_id string.
This patch is useful for OF device tree descriptions of phy devices where
the driver doesn't need or know what the bus_id value in order to get a
phy_device pointer.

From: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
Modules are not supposed to use any of the *_initcall*() hooks as
the entry point. fsl_pq_mdio.c was using subsys_initcall_sync()
instead of module_init() to guarantee that the MDIO bus was initialized
before the Ethernet driver goes looking for the phy. However, the recent
OF helpers rework happens to also make sure PHY connection is deferred to
.open time, so using an initcall is no longer necessary.
This patch replaces the initcall with a ...

The patch reworks the MPC5200 Fast Ethernet Controller (FEC) driver to
use the of_mdio infrastructure for registering PHY devices from data out
openfirmware device tree, and eliminates the assumption that the PHY
for the FEC is always attached to the FEC's own MDIO bus. With this
patch, the FEC can use a PHY attached to any MDIO bus if it is described
in the device tree.

This patch makes changes in preparation for supporting open firmware

- Cleanup handling of phy_map[] entries; they are already NULLed when
registering and so don't need to be re-cleared, and it is good practice
to clear them out when unregistering.
- Split phy_device registration out into a new function so that the
OF helpers can do two stage registration (separate allocation and

This patch adds support for the Xilinx ll_temac 10/100/1000 Ethernet

Spartan designs attached to either a PowerPC 4xx or Microblaze

At the present moment, this driver only works with Virtex5 PowerPC

| Serge E. Hallyn | Re: Loopback and net namespace
? What kernel version are you on? Try jumping to 2.6.29 or later
(and non-distro kernel).
It most certainly is possible to have net namespaces and sysfs.
Since sysfs tagged directories must wait until sysfs locking itself
is straightened out, the workaround was to have network devices
in a network namespace other than init not show up in sysfs.
(Physical devices therefore cannot be passed into non-init network
namespaces).
thanks,

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)

I dunno if it's a security issue, but I'd agree it's wrong. I

copying the carrier state to the upper level VLAN device if that device
is down. Unless somebody works this up over the weekend, I'll work that
out on Monday.
