Vince Bridgers says: ==================== Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) Driver This is the version 6 submission for the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) driver. All comments received during the version 2, 3, 4, and 5 submissions have been accepted. Please find the change log and a description of the submission below. If you find the submission acceptable, please consider this patch set for inclusion into the Linux kernel. V6: Address comments from V5 review - add call to skb_tx_timestamp in the drivers transmit path - correct use of unsigned int where it was cast to pointer. Use types appropriate for intended and correct use to let the compiler warn us when type usage is incorrect. - use correct semantics for pointer arithmetic in same code path V5: Address comments from V4 review - Add descriptions of statistics to driver documentation. The statstics supported by the driver/controller map to IEEE and RFC statistics, and the names and mappings are described in the user documentation. - Change "unsigned int" to u32 in device structure definitions - Change used of netdev_warn to netif_warn in altera_sgdma.c - Change stat name rx_fifo_drops to ether_drops to match the event actually counted by the hardware. V4: Address comments from V3 review - Change statistics names in ethtool module to follow common use in other ethernet drivers. - remove an unnecessary case in ethtool module - change logging to use netdev_* where possible instead of dev_* - remove logging for OOM errors since those are already logged V3: Address comments from V2 review - Reorder patch submission so that net/ethernet Makefile and Kconfig are committed last, thus not breaking bisect - Use of_get_mac_address instead of of_get_property - Change supplemental and hash configuration bindings to boolean/empty, and more meaningful names - Add check for failure from calls to of_phy_connect and connect_local_phy - Correct code to find mdio child node - Update bindings document - Remove cast to u64 when not necessary - add use of const for statistics strings V2: Address comments from initial RFC review. - The driver files were broken up by major sections of functionality. These include MSGDMA, SGDMA, Misc, and Main. - Add patch for MAINTAINERS file, add the maintainer for this submission - Use 32-bit lower/upper physical address accessor functions so the driver is 64-bit ready. - Use standard bindings where applicable. Especially phy-addr, and change "altr,rx-fifo-depth" to "rx-fifo-depth" and "altr,tx-fifo-depth" to "tx-fifo-depth". - Add use of max-frame-size property - Update bindings documents accordingly - Correct interrupt handler to use budget parameter in the convential way - Use macros consistently to define bit fields across files - Correct include exclusion macro in altera_msgdmahw.h (typo) - Remove use of barriers, these were not necessary since the DMA APIs ensure memory & buffer consistency - Remove use of netif_carrier_off in driver - move probing of phy from the open function to the probe function - use of_get_phy_mode instead of custom function - Use the .data field in the device structure to obtain a pointer to SGDMA or MSGDMA device specific properties and functions. - remove custom function to access devicetree since Altera specific bindings requiring it's use have been deprecated in favor of standard bindings. The Altera TSE is a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet soft IP component that can be configured and synthesized using Quartus, and programmed into Altera FPGAs. Two types of soft DMA IP components are supported by this driver - the Altera SGDMA and the MSGDMA. The MSGDMA DMA component is preferred over the SGDMA, since the SGDMA will be deprecated in favor of the MSGDMA. Software supporting both is provided for customers still using the SGDMA and to demonstrate how multiple types of DMA engines may be supported by the TSE driver in the event customers wish to develop their own custom soft DMA engine for particular applications. The design has been tested on Altera's Cyclone 4, 5, and Cyclone 5 SOC development kits using an ARM A9 processor and an Altera NIOS2 processor. Differences in CPU/DMA coherency management and address alignment are addressed by proper use of driver APIs and semantics. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

While checkpatch another patch I got a: "WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms" The datasheet of at86rf231 and at86rf212 says a minimum delay for reset pulse width and spi access latency after reset is 625 nanoseconds. This patch removes the 1 milliseconds sleep and replace it with a 1 microseconds udelay which should be also okay for the reset pulse width. To change the state from RESET -> TRX_OFF the at86rf230 device needs 120 microseconds, this is a worst case of all at86rf* chips.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== netpoll: Cleanup received packet processing This is the long-winded, careful, and polite version of removing the netpoll receive packet processing. First I untangle the code in small steps. Then I modify the code to not force reception and dropping of packets when we are transmiting a packet with netpoll. Finally I move all of the packet reception under CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP and delete CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP. If someone wants to do a stable backport of these patches, it would require backporting the first 18 patches that handle the budget == 0 in the networking drivers, and the first 6 of these patches. If anyone wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception someday it should just be a matter of reverting the last patch. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Eric W. Biederman authored
The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel. All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this change should not add any additional breakage. There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding, team, bridge, and vlans). Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it. Reverting this commit can server as a starting point for anyone who wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception support. Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Change the strategy of netpoll from dropping all packets received during netpoll_poll_dev to calling napi poll with a budget of 0 (to avoid processing drivers rx queue), and to ignore packets received with netif_rx (those will safely be placed on the backlog queue). All of the netpoll supporting drivers have been reviewed to ensure either thay use netif_rx or that a budget of 0 is supported by their napi poll routine and that a budget of 0 will not process the drivers rx queues. Not dropping packets makes NETPOLL_RX_DROP unnecesary so it is removed. npinfo->rx_flags is removed as rx_flags with just the NETPOLL_RX_ENABLED flag becomes just a redundant mirror of list_empty(&npinfo->rx_np).

There is already a warning for this case in the normal netpoll path, but put a copy here in case how netpoll calls the poll functions causes a differenet result. netpoll will shortly call the napi poll routine with a budget 0 to avoid any rx packets being processed.

Today netpoll depends on setting NETPOLL_RX_DROP before networking drivers receive packets in interrupt context so that the packets can be dropped. Move this setting into netpoll_poll_dev from poll_one_napi so that if ndo_poll_controller happens to receive packets we will drop the packets on the floor instead of letting the packets bounce through the networking stack and potentially cause problems.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer took them over to address remaining issues. Several patches to prepare this change come in first place. * Rework nft_hash to resolve bugs (leaking chain, missing rcu synchronization on element removal, etc. from Patrick McHardy. * Restore context in the rule deletion path, as we now release rule objects synchronously, from Patrick McHardy. This gets back event notification for anonymous sets. * Fix NAT family validation in nft_nat, also from Patrick. * Improve scalability of xt_connlimit by using an array of spinlocks and by introducing a rb-tree of hashtables for faster lookup of accounted objects per network.

With current match design every invocation of the connlimit_match function means we have to perform (number_of_conntracks % 256) lookups in the conntrack table [ to perform GC/delete stale entries ]. This is also the reason why ____nf_conntrack_find() in perf top has > 20% cpu time per core. This patch changes the storage to rbtree which cuts down the number of ct objects that need testing. When looking up a new tuple, we only test the connections of the host objects we visit while searching for the wanted host/network (or the leaf we need to insert at). The slot count is reduced to 32. Increasing slot count doesn't speed up things much because of rbtree nature. before patch (50kpps rx, 10kpps tx): + 20.95% ksoftirqd/0 [nf_conntrack] [k] ____nf_conntrack_find + 20.50% ksoftirqd/1 [nf_conntrack] [k] ____nf_conntrack_find + 20.27% ksoftirqd/2 [nf_conntrack] [k] ____nf_conntrack_find + 5.76% ksoftirqd/1 [nf_conntrack] [k] hash_conntrack_raw + 5.39% ksoftirqd/2 [nf_conntrack] [k] hash_conntrack_raw + 5.35% ksoftirqd/0 [nf_conntrack] [k] hash_conntrack_raw after (90kpps, 51kpps tx): + 17.24% swapper [nf_conntrack] [k] ____nf_conntrack_find + 6.60% ksoftirqd/2 [nf_conntrack] [k] ____nf_conntrack_find + 2.73% swapper [nf_conntrack] [k] hash_conntrack_raw + 2.36% swapper [xt_connlimit] [k] count_tree Obvious disadvantages to previous version are the increase in code complexity and the increased memory cost.
