2015-04-26net: rfs: fix crash in get_rps_cpus()Eric Dumazet1-1/+1
Commit 567e4b79731c ("net: rfs: add hash collision detection") had one mistake : RPS_NO_CPU is no longer the marker for invalid cpu in set_rps_cpu() and get_rps_cpu(), as @next_cpu was the result of an AND with rps_cpu_mask This bug showed up on a host with 72 cpus : next_cpu was 0x7f, and the code was trying to access percpu data of an non existent cpu. In a follow up patch, we might get rid of compares against nr_cpu_ids, if we init the tables with 0. This is silly to test for a very unlikely condition that exists only shortly after table initialization, as we got rid of rps_reset_sock_flow() and similar functions that were writing this RPS_NO_CPU magic value at flow dismantle : When table is old enough, it never contains this value anymore.

2015-03-18net: Add max rate tx queue attributeJohn Fastabend1-0/+9
This adds a tx_maxrate attribute to the tx queue sysfs entry allowing for max-rate limiting. Along with DCB-ETS and BQL this provides another knob to tune queue performance. The limit units are Mbps. By default it is disabled. To disable the rate limitation after it has been set for a queue, it should be set to zero.

2011-09-27doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle1-1/+1
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
