RX DMA is limited by the length specified in each descriptor and not
by the MAC.  Over-length frames may get into the RX FIFO regardless of
the MAC settings, due to a hardware bug, but they will be truncated by
the packet DMA engine and reported as such in the completion event.

We try to defer resets while the device is not READY, but we're not
doing this quite correctly.  In particular, changes to efx_nic::state
are documented as serialised by the RTNL lock, but they aren't.

1. We check whether a reset was requested during probe (suggesting
broken hardware) before we allow requested resets to be scheduled.
This leaves a window where a requested reset would be deferred
indefinitely.

2. Although we cancel the reset work item during device removal,
there are still later operations that can cause it to be scheduled
again.  We need to check the state before scheduling it.

3. Since the state can change between scheduling and running of
the work item, we still need to check it there, and we need to
do so *after* acquiring the RTNL lock which serialises state
changes.

4. We must cancel the reset work item during device removal, if the
state could ever have been READY.  This wasn't done in some of the
failure paths from efx_pci_probe().  Move the cancellation to
efx_pci_remove_main().

efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels() each stop and start much
of the NIC, even if it has been disabled.  Since efx_start_all() is a
no-op when the NIC is disabled, this is probably harmless in the case
of efx_change_mtu(), but efx_realloc_channels() also reenables
interrupts which could be a bad thing to do.

Change efx_start_all() and efx_start_interrupts() to assert that the
NIC is not disabled, but make efx_stop_interrupts() do nothing if the
NIC is disabled (since it is already stopped), consistent with
efx_stop_all().

Update comments for efx_start_all() and efx_stop_all() to describe
their purpose and preconditions more accurately.

Add a common function to check and log if the NIC is disabled, and use
it in efx_net_open(), efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels().

We only use tso_state::full_packet_space to calculate the IPv4 tot_len

TSO header buffers contain a control structure immediately followed by
the packet headers, and are kept on a free list when not in use.  This
complicates buffer management and tends to result in cache read misses
when we recycle such buffers (particularly if DMA-coherent memory
requires caches to be disabled).

Replace the free list with a simple mapping by descriptor index.  We
know that there is always a payload descriptor between any two
descriptors with TSO header buffers, so we can allocate only one
such buffer for each two descriptors.

While we're at it, use a standard error code for allocation failure,
not -1.

Add a flags field to struct efx_tx_buffer, replacing the

Since a single descriptor cannot be both a TSO header and the last

flags for validity of these fields.

Clear all flags in free buffers (whereas previously the continuation
flag would be set).

The operstate of a device is initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN and is updated
asynchronously by linkwatch after each change of carrier state
reported by the driver.  The default carrier state of a net device is
on, and this will never be changed on drivers that do not support
carrier detection, thus the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN.

For devices that do support carrier detection, the driver must set the
carrier state to off initially, then poll the hardware state when the
device is opened.  However, we must not activate linkwatch for a
unregistered device, and commit b4730016 ('net: Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered.') ensured that we don't.  But
this means that the operstate for many devices that support carrier
detection remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN when it should be IF_OPER_DOWN.

The same issue exists with the dormant state.

The proper initialisation sequence, avoiding a race with opening of
the device, is:

        rtnl_lock();
        rc = register_netdevice(dev);
        if (rc)
                goto out_unlock;
        netif_carrier_off(dev); /* or netif_dormant_on(dev) */
        rtnl_unlock();

but it seems silly that this should have to be repeated in so many
drivers.  Further, the operstate seen immediately after opening the
device may still be IF_OPER_UNKNOWN due to the asynchronous nature of
linkwatch.

Commit 22604c86 ('net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28') attempted
to fix this by setting the operstate synchronously, but it was
reverted as it could lead to deadlock.

This initialises the operstate synchronously at registration time
only.

The network classifier cgroup initalizes each cgroups instance classid value to
0.  However, the sock_update_classid function only updates classid's in sockets
if the tasks cgroup classid is not zero, and if it differs from the current
classid.  The later check is to prevent cache line dirtying, but the former is
detrimental, as it prevents resetting a classid for a cgroup to 0.  While this
is not a common action, it has administrative usefulness (if the admin wants to
disable classification of a certain group temporarily for instance).

In order to understand  where a broadcast packet is coming from and use
this information to detect not yet announced clients, this patch modifies the

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.

This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.

This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.
