      cxgb4/iw_cxgb4: Doorbell Drop Avoidance Bug Fixes · 05eb2389
      Steve Wise authored
      The current logic suffers from a slow response time to disable user DB
      usage, and also fails to avoid DB FIFO drops under heavy load. This commit
      fixes these deficiencies and makes the avoidance logic more optimal.
      This is done by more efficiently notifying the ULDs of potential DB
      problems, and implements a smoother flow control algorithm in iw_cxgb4,
      which is the ULD that puts the most load on the DB fifo.
      
      Design:
      
      cxgb4:
      
      Direct ULD callback from the DB FULL/DROP interrupt handler.  This allows
      the ULD to stop doing user DB writes as quickly as possible.
      
      While user DB usage is disabled, the LLD will accumulate DB write events
      for its queues.  Then once DB usage is reenabled, a single DB write is
      done for each queue with its accumulated write count.  This reduces the
      load put on the DB fifo when reenabling.
      
      iw_cxgb4:
      
      Instead of marking each qp to indicate DB writes are disabled, we create
      a device-global status page that each user process maps.  This allows
      iw_cxgb4 to only set this single bit to disable all DB writes for all
      user QPs vs traversing the idr of all the active QPs.  If the libcxgb4
      doesn't support this, then we fall back to the old approach of marking
      each QP.  Thus we allow the new driver to work with an older libcxgb4.
      
      When the LLD upcalls iw_cxgb4 indicating DB FULL, we disable all DB writes
      via the status page and transition the DB state to STOPPED.  As user
      processes see that DB writes are disabled, they call into iw_cxgb4
      to submit their DB write events.  Since the DB state is in STOPPED,
      the QP trying to write gets enqueued on a new DB "flow control" list.
      As subsequent DB writes are submitted for this flow controlled QP, the
      amount of writes are accumulated for each QP on the flow control list.
      So all the user QPs that are actively ringing the DB get put on this
      list and the number of writes they request are accumulated.
      
      When the LLD upcalls iw_cxgb4 indicating DB EMPTY, which is in a workq
      context, we change the DB state to FLOW_CONTROL, and begin resuming all
      the QPs that are on the flow control list.  This logic runs on until
      the flow control list is empty or we exit FLOW_CONTROL mode (due to
      a DB DROP upcall, for example).  QPs are removed from this list, and
      their accumulated DB write counts written to the DB FIFO.  Sets of QPs,
      called chunks in the code, are removed at one time. The chunk size is 64.
      So 64 QPs are resumed at a time, and before the next chunk is resumed, the
      logic waits (blocks) for the DB FIFO to drain.  This prevents resuming to
      quickly and overflowing the FIFO.  Once the flow control list is empty,
      the db state transitions back to NORMAL and user QPs are again allowed
      to write directly to the user DB register.
      
      The algorithm is designed such that if the DB write load is high enough,
      then all the DB writes get submitted by the kernel using this flow
      controlled approach to avoid DB drops.  As the load lightens though, we
      resume to normal DB writes directly by user applications.

      net: Replace u64_stats_fetch_begin_bh to u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq · 57a7744e
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.
      
      We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
      packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
      the places using the bh safe variant.
      
      Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
      bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
      everyone can use.

      Currently it's using the wrong ETH_P_LOOP type, which is sometimes treated

      already one ETH_P_LOOP 0x0060, which has been there for ages, however it's

      the correct id.

      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
      
      This series contains updates to igb, i40e and i40evf.
      
      I provide a code comment fix which David Miller noticed in the last
      series of patches I submitted.
      
      Shannon provides a patch to cleanup the NAPI structs when deleting the
      netdev.
      
      Anjali provides several patches for i40e, first fixes a bug in the update
      filter logic which was causing a kernel panic.  Then provides a fix to
      rename an error bit to correctly indicate the error.  Adds a definition
      for a new state variable to keep track of features automatically disabled
      due to hardware resource limitations versus user enforced feature disabled.
      Anjali provides a patch to add code to handle when there is a filter
      programming error due to a full table, which also resolves a previous
      compile warning about an unused "*pf" variable introduced in the last i40e
      series patch submission.
      
      Jesse provides three i40e patches to cleanup strings to make more
      consistent and to align with other Intel drivers.
      
      Akeem cleans up a misleading function header comment for i40e.
      
      Mitch provides a fix for i40e/i40evf to use the correctly reported number
      of MSI-X vectors in the PF an VF.  Then provides a patch to use
      dma_set_mask_and_coherent() which was introduced in v3.13 and simplifies
      the DMA mapping code a bit.
      
      v2:
      - dropped the 2 ixgbe patches from Emil based on feedback from David Miller,
        where the 2 fixes should be handled in the net core to fix all drivers

      This patch set enforces network byte order on all internal operations and
      fields of the 802.15.4 stack and adds a general representation of 802.15.4
      headers with operations to create and parse those headers. This reduces code

      headers of packets they have just received; it is also necessary for 802.15.4
      link layer security, which requires header mangling.
      
      Changes since v1:
       * fixed lowpan packet rx after reassembly. Control blocks were used to
         retrieve source/dest addresses, but the CB is clobbered by reassembly.
         Instead, parse the header anew in lowpan.

      ieee802154: add header structs with endiannes and operations · 94b4f6c2
      Phoebe Buckheister authored
      This patch provides a set of structures to represent 802.15.4 MAC
      headers, and a set of operations to push/pull/peek these structs from
      skbs. We cannot simply pointer-cast the skb MAC header pointer to these
      structs, because 802.15.4 headers are wildly variable - depending on the
      first three bytes, virtually all other fields of the header may be
      present or not, and be present with different lengths.
      
      The new header creation/parsing routines also support 802.15.4 security
      headers, which are currently not supported by the mac802154
      implementation of the protocol.

        Specifics:
      
         - A recent ACPI resources handling fix overlooked the fact that it
           had to update the ACPI PNP subsystem's resources parsing too and
           caused confusing warning messages to be printed during system
           intialization on some systems (with arguably buggy ACPI tables).
           Fix from Zhang Rui.
      
         - Moving the early ACPI initialization before timekeeping_init()
           earlier in this cycle broke fast TSC calibration on at least one
           system, so it needs to be done later, but still before
           efi_enter_virtual_mode() to allow the EFI initialization to refer
           to ACPI.
      
         - A change related to code duplication reduction in the cpufreq core
           inadvertently caused cpufreq intialization to fail for some CPUs
           handled by intel_pstate by adding checks that may fail for that
           driver, but aren't even necessary when it is used.  The issue is
           addressed by preventing those checks from run in the configurations
           in which they aren't needed.
      
         - If the Hardware Reduced ACPI flag is set in the ACPI tables, system
           suspend, hibernation and ACPI power off will only work when special
           sleep control and sleep status registeres are provided (their
           addresses in the ACPI tables are not zero).  If those registers are
           not available, the features in question have no chances to work, so
           they shouldn't even be regarded as supported.  That helps with
           power off in particular, because alternative power off methods may
           be used then and they may actually work"
