2013-08-29drivers:net: Convert dma_alloc_coherent(...__GFP_ZERO) to dma_zalloc_coherentJoe Perches5-24/+18
__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better not used. static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO to the more common kernel style with zalloc. Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead. Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of dma_zalloc_coherent. Realign arguments as appropriate.

2013-08-20bnx2x: set VF DMAE when first function has 0 supported VFsAriel Elior1-5/+2
There are possible HW configurations in which PFs will have SR-IOV capability but will have Max VFs set to 0 - this happens when there are Multi-Function devices where the VFs are allocated to only some of the PFs. DMAE is configured to support VFs only if the configuring PF has supported VFs. In case the first PF to be loaded will be one without supported VFs, it will not configure DMAE to the VF-supporting mode. When VFs of other PFs will be loaded later on, they will not be able to communicate with their PF. This changes the requirement for configuring DMAE for VF-supporting mode; If the device has SR-IOV capabilities there must be some PF that has max supported VFs > 0, thus it will configure the DMAE for supporting VFs.

2013-08-20bnx2x: Protect against VFs' ndos when SR-IOV is disabledAriel Elior1-18/+31
Since SR-IOV can be activated dynamically and iproute2 can be called asynchronously, the various callbacks need a robust sanity check before attempting to access the SR-IOV database and members since there are numerous states in which it can find the driver (e.g., PF is down, sriov was not enabled yet, VF is down, etc.). In many of the states the callback result will be null pointer dereference.

2013-08-20bnx2x: Change DCB context handlingDmitry Kravkov4-8/+43
After notification that DCBX configuration has ended arrived to the driver, the driver configured the FW/HW in sleepless context. As a result, it was possible to reach a race (mostly with CNIC registration) in which the configuration will return a timeout, failing to set the DCBX results correctly. This patch moves the configuration following the DCBX end into the slowpath RTNL task (i.e., sleepless context protected by the RTNL lock), allowing the configuration to cope with such races.

tg3_io_slot_reset Commit d8af4dfd8 ("net/tg3: Fix kernel crash") introduced a possible NULL pointer dereference in tg3 driver when !netdev || !netif_running(netdev) condition is met and netdev is NULL. Then, the jump to the 'done' label calls dev_close() with a netdevice that is NULL. Therefore, only call dev_close() when we have a netdevice, but one that is not running.

2013-08-01bnx2x: Revising locking scheme for MAC configurationYuval Mintz7-60/+340
On very rare occasions, repeated load/unload stress test in the presence of our storage driver (bnx2i/bnx2fc) causes a kernel panic in bnx2x code (NULL pointer dereference). Stack traces indicate the issue happens during MAC configuration; thorough code review showed that indeed several races exist in which one thread can iterate over the list of configured MACs while another deletes entries from the same list. This patch adds a varient on the single-writer/Multiple-reader lock mechanism - It utilizes an already exsiting bottom-half lock, using it so that Whenever a writer is unable to continue due to the existence of another writer/reader, it pends its request for future deliverance. The writer / last readers will check for the existence of such requests and perform them instead of the original initiator. This prevents the writer from having to sleep while waiting for the lock to be accessible, which might cause deadlocks given the locks already held by the writer. Another result of this patch is that setting of Rx Mode is now made in sleepable context - Setting of Rx Mode is made under a bottom-half lock, which was always nontrivial for the bnx2x driver, as the HW/FW configuration requires wait for completions. Since sleep was impossible (due to the sleepless-context), various mechanisms were utilized to prevent the calling thread from sleep, but the truth was that when the caller thread (i.e, the one calling ndo_set_rx_mode()) returned, the Rx mode was still not set in HW/FW. bnx2x_set_rx_mode() will now overtly schedule for the Rx changes to be configured by the sp_rtnl_task which hold the RTNL lock and is sleepable context.
