      ====================
      net: extend busy polling support
      
      This patch series extends busy polling range to tunnels devices,
      and adds busy polling generic support to all NAPI drivers.
      
      No need to provide ndo_busy_poll() method and extra synchronization
      between ndo_busy_poll() and normal napi->poll() method.
      This was proven very difficult and bug prone.
      
      mlx5 driver is changed to support busy polling using this new method,
      and a second mlx5 patch adds napi_complete_done() support and proper
      SNMP accounting.
      
      bnx2x and mlx4 drivers are converted to new infrastructure,
      reducing kernel bloat and improving performance.
      
      Latest patch, adding generic support, adds a new requirement :
      
       -free_netdev() and netif_napi_del() must be called from process context.
      
      Since this might not be the case in some drivers, we might have to
      either : fix the non conformant drivers (by disabling busy polling on them)
      or revert this last patch.

      net: provide generic busy polling to all NAPI drivers · 93d05d4a
      Eric Dumazet authored
      NAPI drivers no longer need to observe a particular protocol
      to benefit from busy polling (CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL=y)
      
      napi_hash_add() and napi_hash_del() are automatically called
      from core networking stack, respectively from
      netif_napi_add() and netif_napi_del()
      
      This patch depends on free_netdev() and netif_napi_del() being
      called from process context, which seems to be the norm.
      
      Drivers might still prefer to call napi_hash_del() on their
      own, since they might combine all the rcu grace periods into
      a single one, knowing their NAPI structures lifetime, while
      core networking stack has no idea of a possible combining.
      
      Once this patch proves to not bring serious regressions,
      we will cleanup drivers to either remove napi_hash_del()
      or provide appropriate rcu grace periods combining.

      net: napi_hash_del() returns a boolean status · 34cbe27e
      Eric Dumazet authored
      napi_hash_del() will soon be used from both drivers (if they want)
      or core networking stack.
      
      Callers are responsibles to ensure an RCU grace period is respected
      before freeing napi structure : napi_hash_del() can signal if
      this RCU grace period is needed or not.

      net: move napi_hash[] into read mostly section · 6180d9de
      Eric Dumazet authored
      We do not often add/delete a napi context.
      Moving napi_hash[] into read mostly section avoids potential false sharing.

      net: add netif_tx_napi_add() · d64b5e85
      Eric Dumazet authored
      netif_tx_napi_add() is a variant of netif_napi_add()
      
      It should be used by drivers that use a napi structure
      to exclusively poll TX.
      
      We do not want to add this kind of napi in napi_hash[] in following
      patches, adding generic busy polling to all NAPI drivers.

      net: move skb_mark_napi_id() into core networking stack · 93f93a44
      Eric Dumazet authored
      We would like to automatically provide busy polling support
      to all NAPI drivers, without them having to implement anything.
      
      skb_mark_napi_id() can be called from napi_gro_receive() and
      napi_get_frags().
      
      Few drivers are still calling skb_mark_napi_id() because
      they use netif_receive_skb(). They should eventually call
      napi_gro_receive() instead. I will leave this to drivers
      maintainers.

      mlx4: remove mlx4_en_low_latency_recv() · 868fdb06
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Busy polling can now be handled in generic NAPI poll infrastructure.
      This removes complexity and fast path overhead :
      
      mlx4 used two spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair per napi->poll() call
      in mlx4_en_cq_lock_napi()/mlx4_en_cq_unlock_napi()

      bnx2x: remove bnx2x_low_latency_recv() support · b59768c6
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Switch to native NAPI polling, as this reduces overhead and complexity.
      
      Normal path is faster, since one cmpxchg() is not anymore requested,
      and busy polling with the NAPI polling has same performance.
      
      Tested:
      lpk50:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/busy_read

      mlx5: support napi_complete_done() · 44fb6fbb
      Eric Dumazet authored
      A NAPI poll handler should return number of RX packets processed,
      instead of 0 / budget.
      
      This allows proper busy poll accounting through LINUX_MIB_BUSYPOLLRXPACKETS
      SNMP counter.
      
      napi_complete_done() allows /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout
      to be used for finer GRO aggregation control.
      
      Tested:
      
      Enabled busy polling, and checked TcpExtBusyPollRxPackets counter is increasing.
      
      echo 70 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read
      nstat >/dev/null
      netperf -H target -t TCP_RR >/dev/null
      nstat | grep TcpExtBusyPollRxPackets
