This patch series introduces a new network driver for the Chelsio T4 PCI-E SR-IOV Virtual Function NIC. The patches are against net-next as of commit 39c9cf07077146b14ab077a0e27c869c6f0e6199. This driver "depends" on the cxgb4 NIC driver only in-so-far as the cxgb4 driver needs to "provision" chip resources for each of the Virtual Functions and the cxgb4 driver must enable the PCI-E SR-IOV functionality. After that the new "cxgb4vf" driver operates completely independently. (It will often be ...

Support for netpoll over bonded interfaces was added here: commit f6dc31a85cd46a959bdd987adad14c3b645e03c1 Author: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Date: Thu May 6 00:48:51 2010 -0700 bonding: make bonding support netpoll but it is bad enough that we should probably just disable netpoll over bonding until some of the locking logic in the bonding driver is changed or converted completely to RCU.

Ok, more detail example. Let on each node be an apache (just for an example), and you configure VirtualHost for specific IP. So when node A fails, keepalived move IP to the node B and everything is still running. No need for restart of apache or anything else. There is a probably a better solution, but I can't find anything more simple than the posted patch:) --

On Fri, 25 Jun 2010 20:43:45 +0200, Michal Humpula nonlocal_bind seems a bit 80's to me. Why don't you bind the daemon to [::]?

The current code makes assumptions about the CID (context ID) memory space and starting CID that may not be always correct when firmware changes. In particular, BNX2_ISCSI_START_CID may not always be fixed. We now calculate cp->max_cid_space and cp->iscsi_start_cid dynamically instead of using fixed constants.

From: Sebastien Jan <s-jan@ti.com> I don't think such logic belongs anywhere other than an initrd. We have mechanisms by which to handle this already, and contrary to what many people claim it is not at all so hard to create a custom initrd. --

I can't see an existing way of specifying this as a kernel parameter in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. netdev= doesn't have a mac address parameter. During development I initially had smsc95xx driver using this logic to select a MAC address: 1. If net->dev_addr has already been set to a valid mac address (i.e. by an administrator before bringing the device up) then use that address. 2. If the device is already currently set to a valid mac address then use that address. This could ...

[...] I still fail to see why this matters. The sfc driver which I look after in my day job also uses spin_lock_irqsave() for each CSR update, when this could be avoided in the initialisation path. None of the many customers using rt kernels has ever complained about this. It's just not an important issue.

Hi, Yes, I think Florian and Patrick's right. Right now there's nothing preventing xt_TPROXY and nf_tproxy_core from being removed while there are skbs in flight with the tproxy destructor set. -- KOVACS Krisztian --

Hi Jamal, I'm using Patricks conntrack zones. And Patrick helped me with a input chain in the nat table. The other cases with e.g. a ip clash between local and remote net already work.

Most weird indeed, lockdep is supposed so shout its lungs out when someone wants to unlock a lock that isn't actually owned by him (and it not being locked at all certainly implies you're not the owner).

This might be somewhat improved by tagging a fix with the id of the patch causing the regression, so that bisect could go through and try to apply a fix out of order. This could be done with a specific note format in the changelog, but I don't know whether it's realistic to support in git format or if you'd have to have a tool that builds up a mapping going the other way... Could also be useful for distros backporting things. --
