This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding, and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now. To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things: 1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device: IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll; IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device at run-time; 2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops: ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is removed. 3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter; export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later; 4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto. 5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll. 6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

When the PF acks a message from the VF the VF gets an interrupt. It must cache the ack bit so that polling SW will not miss the ack. Also avoid reading the message buffer on acks because that also will clear the ack bit.

The driver was calling the set Rx mode function for every multicast filter set by the VF. When starting many VMs where each might have multiple VLAN interfaces this would result in the function being called hundreds or even thousands of times. This is unnecessary for the case of the imperfect filters used in the MTA and has been streamlined to be more efficient.

Accessing ks8851 companion eeprom permits modifying the ks8851 stored MAC address. Example how to change the MAC address using ethtool, to set the 01:23:45:67:89:AB MAC address: $ echo "0:AB8976452301" | xxd -r > mac.bin $ sudo ethtool -E eth0 magic 0x8870 offset 2 < mac.bin Signed-off-by: Sebastien Jan <s-jan@ti.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Back before e1000-7.3.20, the e1000 driver had a simple algorithm that managed interrupt moderation. The driver was updated in 7.3.20 to have the new "adaptive" interrupt moderation but we have customer requests to redeploy the old way as an option. This patch adds the old functionality back. The new functionality can be enabled via module parameter or at runtime via ethtool. Module parameter: (InterruptThrottleRate=4) to use this new moderation method.

This change increases the RX fifo size to 36K for standard frames and decreases the TX fifo size to 4K. The reason for this change is that on slower systems the RX is much more likely to backfill and need space than the TX is. As long as the TX fifo is twice the size of the MTU we should have more than enough TX fifo.

In e1000_tx_map, precompute number of segements and bytecounts which are derived from fields in skb; these are stored in buffer_info. When cleaning tx in e1000_clean_tx_irq use the values in the associated buffer_info for statistics counting, this eliminates cache misses on skb fields.

With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink simulator : - 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450 @3.00GHz - 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port) - RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0 - rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second) - SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload) - tg3 NIC - 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level. Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part. Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves. All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in __alloc_skb(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We currently have this check as a BUG_ON, which is being hit by people. Previously it was an error with a recalculation if not current, return that code. The BUG_ON was introduced by: commit 3110bef7 Author: Guy Cohen <guy.cohen@intel.com> Date: Tue Sep 9 10:54:54 2008 +0800 iwlwifi: Added support for 3 antennas ... the portion adding the BUG_ON is reverted since we are encountering the error and BUG_ON was created with assumption that error is not encountered.

All distributions enable it, therefore no significant body of users are even testing the driver with it disabled. And making NAPI configurable is heavily discouraged anyways. I left the MSI-X interrupt enabling thing in an "#if 0" block so hopefully someone can debug that and it can get re-enabled. Probably it was just one of the NVIDIA chipset MSI erratas that we work handle these days in the PCI quirks (see drivers/pci/quirks.c and stuff like nvenet_msi_disable()). Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 4b0b72f7 ( net: speedup udp receive path ) introduced a bug in skb_free_datagram_locked(). We should not skb_orphan() skb if we dont have the guarantee we are the last skb user, this might happen with MSG_PEEK concurrent users. To keep socket locked for the smallest period of time, we split consume_skb() logic, inlined in skb_free_datagram_locked() Reported-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
