update_ethoc_tx_stats doesn't need to return anything so make its return type void in order to avoid an unnecessary cast when the function is called. Signed-off-by:

MDIO read and write were checking whether a timeout had expired to determine whether to recheck the result of the MDIO operation. Under heavy CPU usage, however, it was possible for the timeout to expire before the routine got around to be able to check a second time even, thus erroneousy returning an -EBUSY. This patch changes the the MDIO IO routines to try up to five times to complete the operation before giving up, thus lessening the dependency on CPU load. This resolves a problem whereby a ping flood would keep the CPU so busy that the above problem would manifest itself; the MDIO command to check link status would fail and the interface would erroneously be shut down.

The old interrupt handling was incorrect in that it did not account for the fact that the interrupt source bits get set irregardless of whether or not their corresponding mask is set. This patch fixes that by masking off the source bits for masked interrupts. Furthermore, the handling of transmission events is moved to the NAPI polling handler alongside the reception handler, thus preventing a whole bunch of interrupts during heavy traffic. Signed-off-by:

An interrupt may occur between checking bd.stat and clearing the interrupt source register which would result in the packet going totally unnoticed as the interrupt will be missed. Double check bd.stat after clearing the interrupt source register to guard against such an occurrence. Signed-off-by:

Occasionally, it seems that some race is causing the interrupts to not be reenabled otherwise with the end result that networking just stops working. Enabling interrupts after calling napi_complete is more in line with what other drivers do. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the ability to describe ethernet devices via a flattened device tree. As device tree remains an optional feature, these bits all need to be guarded by CONFIG_OF ifdefs. MAC address is settable via the device tree parameter "local-mac-address"; however, the selection of the phy id is limited to probing, for now. Signed-off-by:

The 5709 chip requires the BNX2_MISC_NEW_CORE_CTL_DMA_ENABLE bit to be cleared and polling for pending DMAs to complete before chip reset. Without this step, we've seen NMIs during repeated resets of the chip. Signed-off-by:

In kdump environment do not depend on reset_devices parameter to reset the device as the parameter may become obsolete. Instead use an adapter specific mechanism to determine if the device needs a reset. Driver maintains a count of number of pci functions probed and decrements the count when remove handler of that pci function is called. If the first probe, probe of function 0, detects the count as non zero then reset the device. Signed-off-by:

As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already leaving the link behind in a undefined state. This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to commit the changes later. This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the validation function method will not be able to detect all error scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex and thus may change between validation and setting. Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and config blocks for address families which did not register a set function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without notifying the user.

Key changes are: - EQ ids are not assigned consecutively in Lancer. So, fix mapping of MSIx vector to EQ-id. - BAR mapping and some req locations different for Lancer. - TCP,UDP,IP checksum fields must be compulsorily set in TX wrb for TSO in Lancer. - CEV_IST reg not present in Lancer; so, peek into event queue to check for new entries - cq_create and mcc_create cmd interface is different for Lancer; handle accordingly Signed-off-by:

This patch implements transmit packet steering (XPS) for multiqueue devices. XPS selects a transmit queue during packet transmission based on configuration. This is done by mapping the CPU transmitting the packet to a queue. This is the transmit side analogue to RPS-- where RPS is selecting a CPU based on receive queue, XPS selects a queue based on the CPU (previously there was an XPS patch from Eric Dumazet, but that might more appropriately be called transmit completion steering). Each transmit queue can be associated with a number of CPUs which will use the queue to send packets. This is configured as a CPU mask on a per queue basis in: /sys/class/net/eth<n>/queues/tx-<n>/xps_cpus The mappings are stored per device in an inverted data structure that maps CPUs to queues. In the netdevice structure this is an array of num_possible_cpu structures where each structure holds and array of queue_indexes for queues which that CPU can use. The benefits of XPS are improved locality in the per queue data structures. Also, transmit completions are more likely to be done nearer to the sending thread, so this should promote locality back to the socket on free (e.g. UDP). The benefits of XPS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors. XPS would nominally be configured so that a queue would only be shared by CPUs which are sharing a cache, the degenerative configuration woud be that each CPU has it's own queue. Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. bnx2x on 16 core AMD XPS (16 queues, 1 TX queue per CPU) 1234K at 100% CPU No XPS (16 queues) 996K at 100% CPU Signed-off-by:

In dev_pick_tx, don't do work in calculating queue index or setting the index in the sock unless the device has more than one queue. This allows the sock to be set only with a queue index of a multi-queue device which is desirable if device are stacked like in a tunnel. We also allow the mapping of a socket to queue to be changed. To maintain in order packet transmission a flag (ooo_okay) has been added to the sk_buff structure. If a transport layer sets this flag on a packet, the transmit queue can be changed for the socket. Presumably, the transport would set this if there was no possbility of creating OOO packets (for instance, there are no packets in flight for the socket). This patch includes the modification in TCP output for setting this flag. Signed-off-by:

Lower SCM_MAX_FD from 255 to 253 so that allocations for scm_fp_list are halved. (commit f8d570a4 added two pointers in this structure) scm_fp_dup() should not copy whole structure (and trigger kmemcheck warnings), but only the used part. While we are at it, only allocate needed size. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds in the plat_stmmacenet_data the init and exit callbacks that can be used for invoking specific platform functions.
