This change makes it so that the VF can support the PF/VF API negotiation protocol. Specifically in this case we are adding support for API 1.0 which will mean that the VF is capable of cleaning up buffers that span multiple descriptors without triggering an error.

For some reason the reading of the RQDPC register was being artificially limited to 4K. Instead of limiting the value we should read the value and add the full amount. Otherwise this can lead to a misleading number of dropped packets when the actual value is in fact much higher.

The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited. The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl (XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled. I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024, '7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results: http://michich.fedorapeople.org/r8169/r8169-effects-of-TX_DMA_BURST.png Interesting points: - With the current DMA burst limit (1024): - at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s. - when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically again with further MTU increases. - With a smaller DMA burst limit (512): - there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564. - With unlimited DMA burst: - at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s. - the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange peaks. Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst limit plus 52. Why 52? Because: 20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52 The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too, except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes. CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B", i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements.

Two years ago, Shan Wei tried to fix this: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/43905/ The problem is that RFC2460 requires an ICMP Time Exceeded -- Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message should be sent to the source of that fragment, if the defragmentation times out. " If insufficient fragments are received to complete reassembly of a packet within 60 seconds of the reception of the first-arriving fragment of that packet, reassembly of that packet must be abandoned and all the fragments that have been received for that packet must be discarded. If the first fragment (i.e., the one with a Fragment Offset of zero) has been received, an ICMP Time Exceeded -- Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message should be sent to the source of that fragment. " As Herbert suggested, we could actually use the standard IPv6 reassembly code which follows RFC2460. With this patch applied, I can see ICMP Time Exceeded sent from the receiver when the sender sent out 3/4 fragmented IPv6 UDP packet.

Instead of forcing device drivers to provide empty ethtool_ops or tweak net/core/ethtool.c again, we could provide a generic ethtool_ops.

dev_queue_xmit_nit() should be called right before ndo_start_xmit() calls or we might give wrong packet contents to taps users : Packet checksum can be changed, or packet can be linearized or segmented, and segments partially sent for the later case. Also a memory allocation can fail and packet never really hit the driver entry point.

In rare circumstances, it's possible a descriptor writeback will occur before a timestamped Tx packet will go out on the wire, leading to the driver believing the hardware failed to timestamp the packet. Schedule a work item for 82576 and use the available time sync interrupt registers on 82580 and above to account for this.

Noticed that the byte and packet count statistics are under- counting traffic handled by the DDP offload when there is more than one DDP completion processed in a single call to ixgbe_clean_rx_irq. This patch fixes that. I tried to optimize the setting of the rss value so that it only would have to be computed once, and only when there is a DDP completion present.
