commit 5c7fffd0 ("drivers/net/mac8390.c: Remove useless memcpy casting") removed too many casts, introducing the following warnings: | drivers/net/mac8390.c:248: warning: passing argument 1 of '__builtin_memcpy' makes pointer from integer without a cast | drivers/net/mac8390.c:253: warning: passing argument 1 of 'word_memcpy_tocard' makes pointer from integer without a cast | drivers/net/mac8390.c:255: warning: passing argument 2 of 'word_memcpy_fromcard' makes pointer from integer without a cast Instead of just readding the casts, - move all casts inside word_memcpy_{to,from}card(), - replace an incorrect memcpy() by memcpy_toio(), - add memcmp_withio() as a wrapper around memcmp(), - replace an incorrect memcpy_toio() by memcpy_fromio().

CONFIG_CHELSIO_T1_COUGAR cannot be set (it appears nowhere in any Kconfig files), and the code it protects could never build (cspi.h was never added to the kernel tree). Therefore it's pretty safe to remove all vestiges of this dead code. Signed-off-by:

Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the problem. This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers. (We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to send an answer would use another interface) netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter IPReversePathFilter: 21714 Reported-by:Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by:

What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device. Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register an rx_handler for needed net device. Signed-off-by:

There are more than a dozen occurrences of following code in the IPv6 stack: if (opt && opt->srcrt) { struct rt0_hdr *rt0 = (struct rt0_hdr *) opt->srcrt; ipv6_addr_copy(&final, &fl.fl6_dst); ipv6_addr_copy(&fl.fl6_dst, rt0->addr); final_p = &final; } Replace those with a helper. Note that the helper overrides final_p in all cases. This is ok as final_p was previously initialized to NULL when declared. Signed-off-by:Arnaud Ebalard <arno@natisbad.org> Signed-off-by:

Normally dhclient can be configured to send the "host-name" option in DHCP requests to update the client's DNS record. However for an NFSROOT system, dhclient shall never be called (which may change the IP addr and therefore lose your root NFS mount connection). So enable updating the DNS record with kernel parameter ip=::::$HOST_NAME::dhcp Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by packet_mmap. PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as SO_TIMESTAMPING. However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set. If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was added). Signed-off-by:

When many cpus compete for sending frames on a given qdisc, the qdisc spinlock suffers from very high contention. The cpu owning __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit has same priority to acquire the lock, and cannot dequeue packets fast enough, since it must wait for this lock for each dequeued packet. One solution to this problem is to force all cpus spinning on a second lock before trying to get the main lock, when/if they see __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING already set. The owning cpu then compete with at most one other cpu for the main lock, allowing for higher dequeueing rate. Based on a previous patch from Alexander Duyck. I added the heuristic to avoid the atomic in fast path, and put the new lock far away from the cache line used by the dequeue worker. Also try to release the busylock lock as late as possible. Tests with following script gave a boost from ~50.000 pps to ~600.000 pps on a dual quad core machine (E5450 @3.00GHz), tg3 driver. (A single netperf flow can reach ~800.000 pps on this platform) for j in `seq 0 3`; do for i in `seq 0 7`; do netperf -H 192.168.0.1 -t UDP_STREAM -l 60 -N -T $i -- -m 6 & done done Signed-off-by:Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING is always changed while qdisc lock is held. We can avoid two atomic operations in xmit path, if we move this bit in a new __state container. Location of this __state container is carefully chosen so that fast path only dirties one qdisc cache line. THROTTLED bit could later be moved into this __state location too, to avoid dirtying first qdisc cache line. Signed-off-by:

Following changes have been added to enable the adapter to work in NIC partitioning mode where multiple PCI functions of an adapter port can be configured to work as NIC functions. The first function that is enumerated on the PCI bus assumes the role of management function which, besides being able to do all the NIC functionality, can configure other NIC partitions. Other NIC functions can be configured as privileged or non privileged functions. Privileged function can not configure other NIC functions but can do all the NIC functionality including any firmware initialization, chip reset etc. Non privileged functions can do only basic IO. For chip reset etc, it depends on the privilege or management function. 1. Added code to determine PCI function number independent of kernel API. 2. Added Driver - FW version 2.0 support. 3. Changed producer and consumer register offset calculation. 4. Added management and privileged operation modes for npar functions. A module parameter has been added to control it. 5. Added support for configuring the eswitch in the adapter. Signed-off-by:

A single shared memory region used to communicate with firmware is mapped into both PCI PFs of the SFC9020 and SFL9021. Drivers must be able to identify which port they are addressing in order to use the correct sub-region. Currently we use the PCI function number, but the PCI address may be virtualised. Use the CS_PORT_NUM register field defined for just this purpose. Signed-off-by:

Insert a structure at the start of the shared page that tracks the dma mapping refcnt. DMA into the next cache line of the (shared) page (plus EFX_PAGE_IP_ALIGN). When recycling a page, check the page refcnt. If the page is otherwise unused, then resurrect the other receive buffer that previously referenced the page. Be careful not to overflow the receive ring, since we can now resurrect n receive buffers in a row. Signed-off-by:

The cut-through design of the receive path means that packets that fail to match the appropriate MAC filter are not discarded at the MAC but are flagged in the completion event as 'to be discarded'. On networks with heavy multicast traffic, this can account for a significant proportion of received packets, so it is worthwhile to recycle the buffer immediately in this case rather than freeing it and then reallocating it shortly after. The only complication here is dealing with a page shared between two receive buffers. In that case, we need to be careful to free the dma mapping when both buffers have been free'd by the kernel. This means that we can only recycle such a page if both receive buffers are discarded. Unfortunately, in an environment with 1500mtu, rx_alloc_method=PAGE, and a mixture of discarded and not-discarded frames hitting the same receive queue, buffer recycling won't always be possible.

- Pull the loop handling into efx_init_rx_buffers_(skb|page) - Remove rx_queue->buf_page, and associated clean up code - Remove unmap_addr, since unmap_addr is trivially calculable This will allow us to recycle discarded buffers directly from efx_rx_packet(), since will never be in the middle of splitting a page.
