      liquidio: Add spoof checking on a VF MAC address · 48875222
      Weilin Chang authored 
      1. Provide the API to set/unset the spoof checking feature.
2. Add a function to periodically provide the count of found
   packets with spoof VF MAC address.
3. Prevent VF MAC address changing while the spoofchk of the VF is
   on unless the changing MAC address is issued from PF.

====================
mlx5e-updates-2018-09-05

This series provides updates to mlx5 ethernet driver.

1) Starting with a four patches series to optimize flow counters updates,
From Vlad Buslov:
==============================================

By default mlx5 driver updates cached counters each second. Update function
consumes noticeable amount of CPU resources. The goal of this patch series
is to optimize update function.

Investigation revealed following bottlenecks in fs counters
implementation:
 1) Update code(scheduled each second) iterates over all counters twice.
 (first for finding and deleting counters that are marked for deletion,
 second iteration is for actually updating the counters)
 2) Counters are stored in rb tree. Linear iteration over all rb tree
 elements(rb_next in profiling data) consumed ~65% of time spent in
 update function.

Following optimizations were implemented:
 1) Instead of just marking counters for deletion, store them in
 standalone list. This removes first iteration over whole counters tree.
 2) Store counters in sorted list to optimize traversing them and remove
 calls to rb_next.

First implementation of these changes caused degradation of performance,
instead of improving it. Investigation revealed that there first cache
line of struct mlx5_fc is full and adding anything to it causes amount
of cache misses to double. To mitigate that, following refactorings were
implemented:
 - Change 'addlist' list type from double linked to single linked. This
 allowes to get free space for one additional pointer that is used to
 store deletion list(optimization 1)
 - Substitute rb tree with idr. Idr is non-intrusive data structure and
 doesn't require adding any new members to struct mlx5_fc. Use free
 space that became available for double linked sorted list that is used
 for traversing all counters. (optimization 2)

Described changes reduced CPU time spent in mlx5_fc_stats_work from 70%
to 44%. (global perf profile mode)
============================================

The rest of the series are misc updates:

2) From Kamal, Move mlx5e_priv_flags into en_ethtool.c, to avoid a
compilation warning.

3) From Roi Dayan, Move Q counters allocation and drop RQ to init_rx profile
function to avoid allocating Q counters when not required.

4) From Shay Agroskin, Replace PTP clock lock from RW lock to seq lock.
Almost double the packet rate when timestamping is active on multiple TX
queues.

5) From: Natali Shechtman, set ECN for received packets using CQE indication.

6) From: Alaa Hleihel, don't set CHECKSUM_COMPLETE on SCTP packets.
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE is not applicable to SCTP protocol.

      Merge branch 'dsa-b53-SerDes-support' · 2002bc32
      David S. Miller authored 
      Florian Fainelli says:

====================
net: dsa: b53: SerDes support

This patch series adds support for the SerDes found on NorthStar Plus
(NSP) which allows us to use the SFP port on the BCM958625HR board (and
other similar designs).

Changes in v3:

- properly hunk the request_threaded_irq() bits into patch #2

Changes in v2:

- migrate to threaded interrupt (Andrew)
- fixed a case where MLO_AN_FIXED's mac_config would still call into
  the serdes_config callback
- added an additional check on the phylink interface in mac_config
- default to ARCH_BCM_NSP instead of ARCH_BCM_IPROC which is really
  the NSP Kconfig bit we want
