netdev: fix mtu check when TSO is enabled

2011-03-30T09:42:17Z

In case the device where is coming from the packet has TSO enabled, we should not check the mtu size value as this one could be bigger than the expected value. This is the case for the macvlan driver when the lower device has TSO enabled. The macvlan inherit this feature and forward the packets without fragmenting them. Then the packets go through dev_forward_skb and are dropped. This patch fix this by checking TSO is not enabled when we want to check the mtu size. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Acked-by: "Eric W.

net: fix ethtool->set_flags not intended -EINVAL return value

2011-03-28T06:35:24Z

After commit d5dbda23804156ae6f35025ade5307a49d1db6d7 "ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX, and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not match current settings and can not be changed by driver. Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future (also on drivers that do not have the problem). Tested with modified (to reproduce this bug) myri10ge driver. Cc: stable@kernel.org # 2.6.37+ Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: notify applications if address of bridge device changes

2011-03-28T06:35:02Z

The mac address of the bridge device may be changed when a new interface is added to the bridge. If this happens, then the bridge needs to call the network notifiers to tickle any other systems that care. Since bridge can be a module, this also means exporting the notifier function.

ethtool: __ethtool_set_sg: check for function pointer before using it

2011-03-18T22:13:10Z

__ethtool_set_sg does not check if dev->ethtool_ops->set_sg is defined which can result in a NULL pointer dereference when ethtool is used to change SG settings for drivers without SG support. Signed-off-by: Roger Luethi Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
