Some network drivers use dev_kfree_skb_any() and dev_kfree_skb_irq() helpers to free skbs, both for dropped packets and TX completed ones. We need to separate the two causes to get better diagnostics given by dropwatch or "perf record -e skb:kfree_skb" This patch provides two new helpers, dev_consume_skb_any() and dev_consume_skb_irq() to be used for consumed skbs. __dev_kfree_skb_irq() is slightly optimized to remove one atomic_dec_and_test() in fast path, and use this_cpu_{r|w} accessors.

The ARC emac driver was the only in-tree to parse a PHY device 'max-speed' property but yet failed to do it correctly because 'max-speed' is supposed to set a PHY device supported features, not the advertising features as it was done. Now that of_mdiobus_register() takes care of doing that, remove the custom 'max-speed' parsing code. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The "max-speed" property is defined per the ePAPR specification to express the maximum speed a PHY supports. Use that property, if present to set the phydev->supported features which properly restricts the PHY within the range of defined speeds.

If irq_of_parse_and_map fails to find an interrupt line for a given PHY, we will force the PHY interrupt to be PHY_POLL, completely overriding the previous value that the MDIO bus may have set for us (e.g: PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT). In case of failure, just restore the previous value. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Since commit 779d835e ("net: of_mdio: scan mdiobus for PHYs without reg property") we have two foreach loops which do pretty much the same thing. Factor the PHY device registration in a function helper: of_mdiobus_register_phy() which takes care of the details and allows for future PHY specific extensions.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to i40e only. Christopher Pau provides a patch to set pf_id based on device and function numbers since NICs with ARI enabled can have function numbers larger than 8. Anjali provides 3 i40e patches to update hardware defines to keep in sync with hardware updates. Shannon provides the majority of i40e patches, with 7. First patch clears the admin queue head and tail registers during admin queue shutdown. Then simplifies the admin queue head-tail-len setups to use more virtual registers. Provides several patches to cleanup and fix driver load and reset procedures to make more robust. Lastly, provides an ethtool test for interrupts using the software interrupt. Mitch provides some i40e patches which fixes up VF code in the PF driver, specifically the number of vectors per VF are reported by the hardware does not include vector 0, so we need to account for this when checking. In addition, cleans up debugging messages. Kamil provides an i40e patch to fix the diagnostics test by restricting the diagnostic test length. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

With the introduction of TCP Small Queues, TSO auto sizing, and TCP pacing, we can implement Automatic Corking in the kernel, to help applications doing small write()/sendmsg() to TCP sockets. Idea is to change tcp_push() to check if the current skb payload is under skb optimal size (a multiple of MSS bytes) If under 'size_goal', and at least one packet is still in Qdisc or NIC TX queues, set the TCP Small Queue Throttled bit, so that the push will be delayed up to TX completion time. This delay might allow the application to coalesce more bytes in the skb in following write()/sendmsg()/sendfile() system calls. The exact duration of the delay is depending on the dynamics of the system, and might be zero if no packet for this flow is actually held in Qdisc or NIC TX ring. Using FQ/pacing is a way to increase the probability of autocorking being triggered. Add a new sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking) to control this feature and default it to 1 (enabled) Add a new SNMP counter : nstat -a | grep TcpExtTCPAutoCorking This counter is incremented every time we detected skb was under used and its flush was deferred. Tested: Interesting effects when using line buffered commands under ssh. Excellent performance results in term of cpu usage and total throughput. lpq83:~# echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking lpq83:~# perf stat ./super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128 9410.39 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128': 35209.439626 task-clock # 2.901 CPUs utilized 2,294 context-switches # 0.065 K/sec 101 CPU-migrations # 0.003 K/sec 4,079 page-faults # 0.116 K/sec 97,923,241,298 cycles # 2.781 GHz [83.31%] 51,832,908,236 stalled-cycles-frontend # 52.93% frontend cycles idle [83.30%] 25,697,986,603 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.24% backend cycles idle [66.70%] 102,225,978,536 instructions # 1.04 insns per cycle # 0.51 stalled cycles per insn [83.38%] 18,657,696,819 branches # 529.906 M/sec [83.29%] 91,679,646 branch-misses # 0.49% of all branches [83.40%] 12.136204899 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking lpq83:~# perf stat ./super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128 6624.89 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128': 40045.864494 task-clock # 3.301 CPUs utilized 171 context-switches # 0.004 K/sec 53 CPU-migrations # 0.001 K/sec 4,080 page-faults # 0.102 K/sec 111,340,458,645 cycles # 2.780 GHz [83.34%] 61,778,039,277 stalled-cycles-frontend # 55.49% frontend cycles idle [83.31%] 29,295,522,759 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.31% backend cycles idle [66.67%] 108,654,349,355 instructions # 0.98 insns per cycle # 0.57 stalled cycles per insn [83.34%] 19,552,170,748 branches # 488.244 M/sec [83.34%] 157,875,417 branch-misses # 0.81% of all branches [83.34%] 12.130267788 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
