Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to e1000, e1000e, igb, igbvf and ixgbe. The e1000, e1000e, igb and igbvf are single patch changes and the remaining 11 patches are all against ixgbe. The e1000 patch is a comment cleanup to align e1000 with the code commenting style for /drivers/net. It also contains a few other white space cleanups (i.e. fix lines over 80 char, remove unnecessary blank lines and fix the use of tabs/spaces). The e1000e patch from Koki (Fujitsu) adds a warning when link speed is downgraded due to SmartSpeed. The igb patch from Stefan (Red Hat) increases the timeout in the ethtool offline self-test because some i350 adapters would sometimes fail the self-test because link auto negotiation may take longer than the current 4 second timeout. The igbvf patch from Alex is meant to address several race issues that become possible because next_to_watch could possibly be set to a value that shows that the descriptor is done when it is not. In order to correct that we instead make next_to_watch a pointer that is set to NULL during cleanup, and set to the eop_desc after the descriptor rings have been written. The remaining patches for ixgbe are a mix of fixes and added support as well as some cleanup. Most notably is the added support for displaying the number of Tx/Rx channels via ethtool by Alex. Also Aurélien adds the ability for reading data from SFP+ modules over i2c for diagnostic monitoring. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Recent changes have made it so that MAX_SKB_FRAGS is now never less than 16. As a result we were seeing issues on systems with 64K pages as it would cause DESC_NEEDED to increase to 68, and we would need over 136 descriptors free before clean_tx_irq would wake the queue. This patch makes it so that DESC_NEEDED is always MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 4. This should prevent any possible deadlocks on the systems with 64K pages as we will now only require 42 descriptors to wake.

This change adds support for the ethtool set_channels operation. Since the ixgbe driver has to support DCB as well as the other modes the assumption I made here is that the number of channels in DCB modes refers to the number of queues per traffic class, not the number of queues total.

This change updates the ixgbe driver to use __netdev_pick_tx instead of the current logic it is using to select a queue. The main result of this change is that ixgbe can now fully support XPS, and in the case of non-FCoE enabled configs it means we don't need to have our own ndo_select_queue.

Instead of adjusting the FCoE and Flow director limits based on the number of CPUs we can define them much sooner. This allows the user to come through later and adjust them once we have updated the code to support the set_channels ethtool operation. I am still allowing for FCoE and RSS queues to be separated if the number queues is less than the number of CPUs. This essentially treats the two groupings like they are two separate traffic classes. In addition I am changing the initialization to use the MAX_TX/RX_QUEUES defines instead of trying to compute the value as it will be possible in upcoming patches for the user to request the maximum number of queues. I have also updated things so that the upper limit on queues is exactly 63 instead of allowing it to go up to 64. The reason for this change is to address the fact thqt the driver only supports up to 63 queue vectors since the hardware supports 64 MSI-X vectors, but one must be reserved for "other" causes.

In order to correct that we instead make next_to_watch a pointer that is set to NULL during cleanup, and set to the eop_desc after the descriptor rings have been written. To enforce proper ordering the next_to_watch pointer is not set until after a wmb writing the values to the last descriptor in a transmit. In order to guarantee that the descriptor is not read until after the eop_desc we use the read_barrier_depends which is only really necessary on the alpha architecture.

Ying Xue authored
Change overload control to be purely byte-based, using sk->sk_rmem_alloc as byte counter, and compare it to a calculated upper limit for the socket receive queue. For all connection messages, irrespective of message importance, the overload limit is set to a constant value (i.e, 67MB). This limit should normally never be reached because of the lower limit used by the flow control algorithm, and is there only as a last resort in case a faulty peer doesn't respect the send window limit. For datagram messages, message importance is taken into account when calculating the overload limit. The calculation is based on sk->sk_rcvbuf, and is hence configurable via the socket option SO_RCVBUF.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to igb and ixgbe. Most of the changes are against igb, except for one patch against ixgbe. There are 3 igb fixes from Carolyn which were reported by Dan Carpenter which resolve issues found in the get_i2c_client(). Alex does some cleanup of the igb driver to match similar functionality in ixgbe on transmit. Alex also makes it so that we can enable the use of build_skb for cases where jumbo frames are disabled. The advantage to this is that we do not have to perform a memcpy to populate the header and as a result we see a significant performance improvement. Akeem provides 4 patches to initialize function pointers and do a re-factoring of the function pointers in igb_get_variants() to assist with driver debugging. The ixgbe patch comes from Emil to reshuffle the switch/case structure of the flag assignment to allow for the flags to be set for each MAC type separately. This is needed for new hardware that does not have feature parity with older hardware. v2: updated patches 4 & 5 based on feedback from Ben Hutchings and Eric Dumazet ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets. SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment need to push inner and outer headers to every segment. New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO always fall backs to software GSO.

The patch also adds a couple of fixes - For the 57766 and non Ax versions of 57765, bootcode needs to setup the PCIE Fast Training Sequence (FTS) value to prevent transmit hangs. Unfortunately, it does not have enough room in the selfboot case (i.e. devices with no NVRAM). The driver needs to implement this. - For performance reasons, the 2k DMA engine mode on the 57766 should be enabled and dma size limited to 2k for standard sized packets.
