Introduce ____napi_schedule() helper for callers in irq disabled contexts. rps_trigger_softirq() becomes a leaf function. Use container_of() in process_backlog() instead of accessing per_cpu address. Use a custom inlined version of __napi_complete() in process_backlog() to avoid one locked instruction : only current cpu owns and manipulates this napi, and NAPI_STATE_SCHED is the only possible flag set on backlog. we can use a plain write instead of clear_bit(), and we dont need an smp_mb() memory barrier, since RPS is on, backlog is protected by a spinlock.

NET_IP_ALIGN defaults to 2, no need to override. NET_SKB_PAD is now 64, which is much larger than microblaze's L1_CACHE_SIZE so no need to override that either. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

eth_type_trans() & get_rps_cpus() currently need two 64bytes cache lines in packet to compute rxhash. Increasing NET_SKB_PAD from 32 to 64 reduces the need to one cache line only, and makes RPS faster.

Adding addresses and ports to the short packet log message, like ipv4/udp.c does it, makes these messages a lot more useful: [ 822.182450] UDPv6: short packet: From [2001:db8:ffb4:3::1]:47839 23715/178 to [2001:db8:ffb4:3:5054:ff:feff:200]:1234 This requires us to drop logging in case pskb_may_pull() fails, which also is consistent with ipv4/udp.c Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

During Sx->S0 transitions, the interconnect between the MAC and PHY on 82577/82578 can remain in SMBus mode instead of transitioning to the PCIe-like mode required during normal operation. Toggling the LANPHYPC Value bit essentially resets the interconnect forcing it to the correct mode.

Based on Andy's work, but I modified a lot. Similar to the patch for bridge, this patch does: 1) implement the 2 methods to support netpoll for bonding; 2) modify netpoll during forwarding packets via bonding; 3) disable netpoll support of bonding when a netpoll-unabled device is added to bonding; 4) enable netpoll support when all underlying devices support netpoll.

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.

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.
