Internal stress testing with jumbo frames shows the reliability of ICH9 and ICH10D devices is improved in certain corner cases by disabling the Early Receive feature. To reduce the performance impact caused by disabling this feature, the packet buffer sizes and relevant flow control settings are modified accordingly.

In the future the ipv4/ipv6 route gateway will take on two types of values: 1) INADDR_ANY/IN6ADDR_ANY, for local network routes, and in this case the neighbour must be obtained using the destination address in ipv4/ipv6 header as the lookup key. 2) Everything else, the actual nexthop route address. So if the gateway is not inaddr-any we use it, otherwise we must use the packet's destination address. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Allocation of 64 bytes in skb headroom is not enough if we have to pull ethernet + ipv6 + tcp headers, and/or extra tunneling header. Its currently not noticed because netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(64) give us more room, thanks to power-of-two kmalloc() roundups. Make sure we ask for 128 bytes so that side effects of upcoming patches from Ian Campbell dont decrease benet rx performance, because of extra skb head reallocations.

1. Sample mcp pulse and mcp sequence in nic load instead of in init_one as they may change by the time we want to use them. 2. Allow cnic to access device during nic load (by adding a new "LOADING" state to recovery flow). This prevents the unnecessary cnic timeout which resulted by cnic attempting to access because nic is loading, but being blocked because of the Recovery state. 3. Issue 'fake' driver load command to mcp when last driver unloads to prevent mcp from taking ownership. When recovery is complete unload fake driver to allow mcp to initialize the hardware before first driver loads.

The recovery register (to which a hardware lock has been added in previous patch) is used amongst other things to track the active PFs. The old implementation which used a per path counter is not viable in a virtualized environment where a pf may increment the counter and then have the kernel crash around it preventing the counter from ever reaching zero. In the new implementation the scenario described will result in the PF timing out against the mcp, which will clear the PF's bit in the bitmask allowing recovery process to proceed.

Use hardware locks to protect resources common to several Physical Functions. In a virtualized environment the RTNL lock only protects a PF's driver against the PFs sharing it's VMs with regard to device resources. Other PFs may reside in other VMs under other OSs, and are not subject to the lock. Such resources which were previously protected implicitly by the RTNL lock must now be protected explicitly with dedicated HW locks.

In a virtualized environment it is possible for a loading driver to discover that Firmware is already loaded to the device, and that this FW does not match its own. This can happen for example if different Physical Functions are Assigned to different VMs in which different driver versions are loaded. The code in this patch ensures that only drivers with matching FW are loaded over the device, and that in the case described above where the Firmware version doesn't match the driver load is aborted.

In virtualized environments indirect access to the device may not be supported (depending on the Hypervisor type). Indirect device access was used since in some harware contexts (i.e. certain chipset and BIOS) every access the driver makes across the pci is followed by a BIOS initiated Zero Length Read to the same address. When accessing widebus registers this zero length read corrupts the serialization of the read/write sequence resulting with errors. To avoid this problem widebus registers are always accessed via the DMAE or the indirect interface. However, the 57712x and 578xx devices intercept the zero length read and so using the indirect interface with these devices is not necessary. Since PDA is only supported for 57712x and 578xx the indirect access to device was restricted to 57710 and 57711x.

Use the default hardware values for TIPG except for 80003es2lan(*). The code that is removed in this patch is either unnecessarily writing the TIPG register with the hardware default values for some devices (82571/2/3/4) or writing the wrong value for others (ICH/PCH LOMs). The only change in functionality is setting the correct default TIPG for the latter devices. (*) The correct value for 80003es2lan is already set properly in e1000_init_hw_80003es2lan() and e1000_cfg_kmrn_{10_100|1000}_80003es2lan(), and the unused flag FLAG_TIPG_MEDIUM_FOR_80003ESLAN is removed.

Enable RPS by default. Disallow jumbo frames when both receive checksum and receive hashing are enabled because the hardware cannot do both IP payload checksum (enabled when receive checksum is enabled when using packet split which is used for jumbo frames) and provide RSS hash at the same time. v2: added ethtool command to query flow hashing behavior per Ben Hutchings and changed the type of rsskey to cleanup the setting of the register array and avoid unnecessary casts (as pointed out by Joe Perches). The long error messages are not changed since there is nothing in the kernel ./Documentation that suggests the preferred method for dealing with long messages other than to never break strings; leaving them as-is for now.

Some WWAN LTE/3G devices based on chipsets from Qualcomm provide near standard CDC ECM interfaces in addition to the usual serial interfaces. The Huawei E392/E398 are examples of such devices. These typically cannot be fully configured using AT commands over a serial interface. It is necessary to speak the proprietary Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) protocol to the device to enable the ethernet proxy functionality. The devices embed the QMI protocol in CDC on the control interface, using standard CDC commands and notifications. The do not otherwise use CDC commands for the ethernet function. This driver does therefore not need access to any other aspects of the control interface than the descriptors attached to it. Another driver, cdc-wdm, will provide userspace access to the QMI protocol independently of this driver. To facilitate this, this driver avoids binding to the control interface, and uses only the associated data interface after parsing the common CDC functional descriptors on the control interface. You will want both the cdc-wdm and option drivers as companions to this driver, to have full access to all interfaces and protocols exported by the device.
