      net: Add support for XPS without sysfs being defined · 024e9679
      Alexander Duyck authored 
      This patch makes it so that we can support transmit packet steering without
sysfs needing to be enabled.  The reason for making this change is to make
it so that a driver can make use of the XPS even while the sysfs portion of
the interface is not present.

      net: Rewrite netif_set_xps_queues to address several issues · 01c5f864
      Alexander Duyck authored 
      This change is meant to address several issues I found within the
netif_set_xps_queues function.

If the allocation of one of the maps to be assigned to new_dev_maps failed
we could end up with the device map in an inconsistent state since we had
already worked through a number of CPUs and removed or added the queue.  To
address that I split the process into several steps.  The first of which is
just the allocation of updated maps for CPUs that will need larger maps to
store the queue.  By doing this we can fail gracefully without actually
altering the contents of the current device map.

The second issue I found was the fact that we were always allocating a new
device map even if we were not adding any queues.  I have updated the code
so that we only allocate a new device map if we are adding queues,
otherwise if we are not adding any queues to CPUs we just skip to the
removal process.

The last change I made was to reuse the code from remove_xps_queue to remove
the queue from the CPU.  By making this change we can be consistent in how
we go about adding and removing the queues from the CPUs.

      net: Rewrite netif_reset_xps_queue to allow for better code reuse · 10cdc3f3
      Alexander Duyck authored 
      This patch does a minor refactor on netif_reset_xps_queue to address a few
items I noticed.

First is the fact that we are doing removal of queues in both
netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue.  Since there is no need to
have the code in two places I am pushing it out into a separate function
and will come back in another patch and reuse the code in
netif_set_xps_queue.

The second item this change addresses is the fact that the Tx queues were
not getting their numa_node value cleared as a part of the XPS queue reset.
This patch resolves that by resetting the numa_node value if the dev_maps
value is set.

      net: Add functions netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue · 537c00de
      Alexander Duyck authored 
      This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and
netif_set_xps_queue.  The main idea behind these two functions is to
provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in
regards to XPS.

Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for
things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in
which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping.  With this change
I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS
feature by controlling the default configuration.

      net: Split core bits of netdev_pick_tx into __netdev_pick_tx · 416186fb
      Alexander Duyck authored 
      This change splits the core bits of netdev_pick_tx into a separate function.
The main idea behind this is to make this code accessible to select queue
functions when they decide to process the standard path instead of their
own custom path in their select queue routine.

      drivers/net: delete 8390 based EISA drivers. · bca94cff
      Paul Gortmaker authored 
      The NS8390 chip was essentially the 1st widespread PC ethernet
chip, starting its life on 8 bit ISA cards in the late 1980s.
Even with better technologies available (bus mastering etc)
the 8390 managed to get used on a few rare EISA cards in the
early to mid 1990s.

The EISA bus in the x86 world was largely confined to systems
ranging from 486 to 586 (essentially 200MHz or lower, and less
than 100MB RAM) -- i.e. machines unlikely to be still in service,
and even less likely to be running a 3.9+ kernel.

On top of that, only one of the five really ever was considered
non-experimental; the smc-ultra32 was the one -- since it was
largely just an EISA version of the popular smc-ultra ISA card.
All the others had such a tiny user base that they simply never
could be considered anything more than experimental.
