Remove private tx queue locks

this patch series removes unnecessary private locks in the sxgbe and the

v2:
- adjust commit message
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The driver uses a private lock for synchronization of the xmit function and
the xmit completion handler, but since the NETIF_F_LLTX flag is not set,
the xmit function is also called with the xmit_lock held.

On the other hand the completion handler uses the reverse locking order by
first taking the private lock and (in case that the tx queue had been
stopped) then the xmit_lock.

Improve the locking by removing the private lock and using only the
xmit_lock for synchronization instead.

net: bridge: fast ageing on topology change

802.1D [1] specifies that the bridges in a network must use a short
value to age out dynamic entries in the Filtering Database for a period,
once a topology change has been communicated by the root bridge.

This patchset fixes this for the in-kernel STP implementation.

Once the topology change flag is set in a net_bridge instance, the
ageing time value is shorten to twice the forward delay used by the
topology.

When the topology change flag is cleared, the ageing time configured for
the bridge is restored.

To accomplish that, a new bridge_ageing_time member is added to the
net_bridge structure, to store the user configured bridge ageing time.

Two helpers are added to offload the ageing time and set the topology
change flag in the net_bridge instance. Then the required logic is added
in the topology change helper if in-kernel STP is used.

This has been tested on the following topology:

    +--------------+
    | root bridge  |
    |  1  2  3  4  |
    +--+--+--+--+--+
       |  |  |  |      +--------+
       |  |  |  +------| laptop |
       |  |  |         +--------+
    +--+--+--+-----+
    |  1  2  3     |
    | slave bridge |
    +--------------+

When unplugging/replugging the laptop, the slave bridge (under test)
gets the topology change flag sent by the root bridge, and fast ageing
is triggered on the bridges. Once the topology change timer of the root
bridge expires, the topology change flag is cleared and the configured
ageing time is restored on the bridges.

A similar test has been done between two bridges under test.
When changing the forward delay of the root bridge with:

    # echo 3000 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/forward_delay

the ageing time correctly changes on both bridges from 300s to 60s while
the TOPOLOGY_CHANGE flag is present.

This patch is based on an earlier one submitted
by Jon Maxwell with the following commit message:

"We recently encountered a bug where a few customers using ibmveth on the
same LPAR hit an issue where a TCP session hung when large receive was
enabled. Closer analysis revealed that the session was stuck because the
one side was advertising a zero window repeatedly.

We narrowed this down to the fact the ibmveth driver did not set gso_size
which is translated by TCP into the MSS later up the stack. The MSS is
used to calculate the TCP window size and as that was abnormally large,
it was calculating a zero window, even although the sockets receive buffer
was completely empty."

We rely on the Virtual I/O Server partition in a pseries
environment to provide the MSS through the TCP header checksum
field. The stipulation is that users should not disable checksum
offloading if rx packet aggregation is enabled through VIOS.

Some firmware offerings provide the MSS in the RX buffer.
This is signalled by a bit in the RX queue descriptor.

In flood situations, keeping sk_rmem_alloc at a high value
prevents producers from touching the socket.

It makes sense to lower sk_rmem_alloc only at the end
of udp_rmem_release() after the thread draining receive
queue in udp_recvmsg() finished the writes to sk_forward_alloc.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If udp_recvmsg() constantly releases sk_rmem_alloc
for every read packet, it gives opportunity for
producers to immediately grab spinlocks and desperatly
try adding another packet, causing false sharing.

We can add a simple heuristic to give the signal
by batches of ~25 % of the queue capacity.

This patch considerably increases performance under
flood by about 50 %, since the thread draining the queue
is no longer slowed by false sharing.

In UDP RX handler, we currently clear skb->dev before skb

Idea of busylocks is to let producers grab an extra spinlock
to relieve pressure on the receive_queue spinlock shared by consumer.

This behavior is requested only once socket receive queue is above
half occupancy.

Under flood, this means that only one producer can be in line
trying to acquire the receive_queue spinlock.

These busylock can be allocated on a per cpu manner, instead of a
per socket one (that would consume a cache line per socket)

This patch considerably improves UDP behavior under stress,
depending on number of NIC RX queues and/or RPS spread.

net: qcom/emac: simplify support for different SOCs

On SOCs that have the Qualcomm EMAC network controller, the internal
PHY block is always different.  Sometimes the differences are small,
sometimes it might be a completely different IP.  Either way, using version
numbers to differentiate them and putting all of the init code in one
file does not scale.

This patchset does two things:  The first breaks up the current code into
different files, and the second patch adds support for a third SOC, the
Qualcomm Technologies QDF2400 ARM Server SOC.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The QDF2432 and the QDF2400 have slightly different internal PHYs,
so there are some programming differences.  Some of the registers in
the QDF2400 have moved, and some registers require different values
during initialization.

Because of the differences, and because HIDs are a scare resource,
the ACPI tables specify the hardware version in an _HRV property.
Version 1 is the QDF2432, and version 2 is the QDF2400.  Any future
SOC that has the same internal PHY but different programming
requirements will be assigned the next available version number.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The internal PHY of the EMAC differs on each SOC, and the list will
only continue to grow.  By separating the code into individual files,
we can add support for more SOCs more cleanly.

Note: The internal PHY is also sometimes called the SGMII device.

We also stop referring to the various PHY variations by version number,
so no more "v2", "v3", etc.  Instead, the devices are named after the
SOC they are, which is in sync with the device tree property names.

Future patches will probably rearrange more code among the files.

  I consider these urgent enough to send for 4.9 consideration since

  potentially break out of an infinite reboot problem if a media error

Fix this by providing a way to inform cfg80211 of this with

use this ability in the appropriate places in mac80211.
