Memory allocation - The CQE ring was allocated to the max size even for a chip that does not support it. Fixed to allocate according to the chip type to save memory - The rx_page_ring was not freed on driver unload Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

HW lock mechanism Enhancing the HW lock to work per function and not only per port - this is needed for the next patch that protects races over HW attention detection between the different functions.

Load/Unload under traffic Few issues were found when loading and unloading under traffic: - When receiving Tx interrupt call netif_wake_queue if the queue is stopped but the state is open - Check that interrupts are enabled before doing anything else on the msix_fp_int function - In nic_load, enable the interrupts only when needed and ready for it - Function stop_leading returns status since it can fail - Add 1ms delay when unloading the driver to validate that there are no open transactions that already started by the FW - Splitting the "has work" function into Tx and Rx so the same function will be used on unload and interrupts - Do not request for WoL if only resetting the device (save the time that it takes the FW to set the link after reset) - Fixing the device reset after iSCSI boot and before driver load - all internal buffers must be cleared before the driver is loaded Signed-off-by: Vladislav Zolotarov <vladz@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

FW Internal Memory structure The FW uses data structures on the chip internal memory to aggregate the connections when TPA is enabled. The driver was clearing the wrong offsets and therefore one function could cause another function to loose packets. Changing the initialization of the chip internal memory to clear only the relevant memory for each function which is being loaded Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Statistics - Making sure that each drop is accounted for in the driver statistics - Clearing the FW statistics when driver is loaded to prevent inconsistency with HW statistics - Once error is detected (bnx2x_panic_dump), stop the statistics before other actions (currently it is stopped last and can corrupt the data) - Adding HW checksum error counter to the statistics - Removing unused variable stats_ticks - Using macros instead of magic numbers to indicate which statistics are shared per port and which are per function Signed-off-by: Yitchak Gertner <gertner@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Based upon discussions with Jarek P. and Herbert Xu. First, we're testing the wrong qdisc. We just reset the device queue qdiscs to &noop_qdisc and checking it's state is completely pointless here. We want to wait until the previous qdisc that was sitting at the ->qdisc pointer is not busy any more. And that would be ->qdisc_sleeping. Because of how we propagate the samples qdisc pointer down into qdisc_run and friends via per-cpu ->output_queue and netif_schedule, we have to wait also for the __QDISC_STATE_SCHED bit to clear as well.

With the new multi-queue transmit code, it is possible to accidentally make pktgen pick a non-existing tx queue simply by using a stale script to drive pktgen. Access to this non-existing tx queue will then trigger a bad memory access and kill the machine. For example, setting "queue_map_max 2" will cause my machine to die when accessing a garbage spinlock in the non-existing tx queue: BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, kpktgend_0/564 lock: ffff88001ddf6718, .magic: ffffffff, .owner: /-1, .owner_cpu: 0 Pid: 564, comm: kpktgend_0 Not tainted 2.6.27-rc3 #35 Call Trace: [<ffffffff803a1228>] spin_bug+0xa4/0xac [<ffffffff803a1253>] _raw_spin_lock+0x23/0x123 [<ffffffff8055b06f>] _spin_lock_bh+0x17/0x1b [<ffffffff804cb57d>] pktgen_thread_worker+0xa97/0x1002 [<ffffffff8022874d>] ? finish_task_switch+0x38/0x97 [<ffffffff80242077>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x36 [<ffffffff80242077>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x36 [<ffffffff804caae6>] ? pktgen_thread_worker+0x0/0x1002 [<ffffffff80241a40>] kthread+0x44/0x6d [<ffffffff8020c399>] child_rip+0xa/0x11 [<ffffffff802419fc>] ? kthread+0x0/0x6d [<ffffffff8020c38f>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x11 The attached patch adds some sanity checking to prevent these sorts of configuration errors.

In case of error, the function rxrpc_get_transport returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So after a call to this function, a NULL test should be replaced by an IS_ERR test. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @correct_null_test@ expression x,E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = rxrpc_get_transport(...) <... when != x = E if ( ( - x@p2 != NULL + !

Based upon a bug report by Andrew Gallatin on netdev with subject "CPU utilization increased in 2.6.27rc" In commit 37437bb2 ("pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.") the test of the queue being stopped was erroneously removed from qdisc_run(). When the TX queue of the device fills up, this omission causes lots of extraneous useless work to be queued up to softirq context, where we'll just return immediately because the device is still stuffed up.

In order to align the coding styles of ip_vs_zero_stats() and its child-function ip_vs_zero_estimator(), clear ip_vs_stats members explicitlty rather than doing a limited memset(). This was chosen over modifying ip_vs_zero_estimator() to use memset() as it is more robust against changes in members in the relevant structures. memset() would be prefered if all members of the structure were to be cleared.

There's no reason for dynamically allocating an estimator object for every stats object. Directly embed an estimator object into every stats object and switch to using the kernel-provided list implementation. This makes the code much simpler and faster, as we do not need to traverse the list of all estimators to find the one belonging to a stats object. There's no need to use an rwlock, as we only have one reader. Also reorder the members of the estimator structure slightly to avoid padding overhead. This can't be done with the stats object as the members are currently copied to our user space object via memcpy() and changing it would break ABI.

There is a slight chance for a deadlock in the estimator code. We can't call del_timer_sync() while holding our lock, as the timer might be active and spinning for the lock on another cpu. Work around this issue by using try_to_del_timer_sync() and releasing the lock. We could actually delete the timer outside of our lock, as the add and kill functions are only every called from userspace via [gs]etsockopt() and are serialized by a mutex, but better make this explicit.

The socket lock is there to protect the normal UDP receive path. Encapsulation UDP sockets don't need that protection. In fact the locking is deadly for them as they may contain another UDP packet within, possibly with the same addresses. Also the nested bit was copied from TCP. TCP needs it because of accept(2) spawning sockets. This simply doesn't apply to UDP so I've removed it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
