Processing any incoming packets with a with a napi budget of 0 is incorrect driver behavior. This matters as netpoll will shortly call drivers with a budget of 0 to avoid receive packet processing happening in hard irq context. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

The current logic suffers from a slow response time to disable user DB usage, and also fails to avoid DB FIFO drops under heavy load. This commit fixes these deficiencies and makes the avoidance logic more optimal. This is done by more efficiently notifying the ULDs of potential DB problems, and implements a smoother flow control algorithm in iw_cxgb4, which is the ULD that puts the most load on the DB fifo. Design: cxgb4: Direct ULD callback from the DB FULL/DROP interrupt handler. This allows the ULD to stop doing user DB writes as quickly as possible. While user DB usage is disabled, the LLD will accumulate DB write events for its queues. Then once DB usage is reenabled, a single DB write is done for each queue with its accumulated write count. This reduces the load put on the DB fifo when reenabling. iw_cxgb4: Instead of marking each qp to indicate DB writes are disabled, we create a device-global status page that each user process maps. This allows iw_cxgb4 to only set this single bit to disable all DB writes for all user QPs vs traversing the idr of all the active QPs. If the libcxgb4 doesn't support this, then we fall back to the old approach of marking each QP. Thus we allow the new driver to work with an older libcxgb4. When the LLD upcalls iw_cxgb4 indicating DB FULL, we disable all DB writes via the status page and transition the DB state to STOPPED. As user processes see that DB writes are disabled, they call into iw_cxgb4 to submit their DB write events. Since the DB state is in STOPPED, the QP trying to write gets enqueued on a new DB "flow control" list. As subsequent DB writes are submitted for this flow controlled QP, the amount of writes are accumulated for each QP on the flow control list. So all the user QPs that are actively ringing the DB get put on this list and the number of writes they request are accumulated. When the LLD upcalls iw_cxgb4 indicating DB EMPTY, which is in a workq context, we change the DB state to FLOW_CONTROL, and begin resuming all the QPs that are on the flow control list. This logic runs on until the flow control list is empty or we exit FLOW_CONTROL mode (due to a DB DROP upcall, for example). QPs are removed from this list, and their accumulated DB write counts written to the DB FIFO. Sets of QPs, called chunks in the code, are removed at one time. The chunk size is 64. So 64 QPs are resumed at a time, and before the next chunk is resumed, the logic waits (blocks) for the DB FIFO to drain. This prevents resuming to quickly and overflowing the FIFO. Once the flow control list is empty, the db state transitions back to NORMAL and user QPs are again allowed to write directly to the user DB register. The algorithm is designed such that if the DB write load is high enough, then all the DB writes get submitted by the kernel using this flow controlled approach to avoid DB drops. As the load lightens though, we resume to normal DB writes directly by user applications. Signed-off-by: Steve Wise <swise@opengridcomputing.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant. We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of the places using the bh safe variant. Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that everyone can use. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Per IEEE 802.3*, the correct packet type for loopback 0x9000. There's already one ETH_P_LOOP 0x0060, which has been there for ages, however it's plainly wrong as anything that small is considered a length field. We can't remove it because legacy, so add a new type which corresponds to the correct id. http://www.iana.org/assignments/ieee-802-numbers/ieee-802-numbers.xhtml CC: "David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to igb, i40e and i40evf. I provide a code comment fix which David Miller noticed in the last series of patches I submitted. Shannon provides a patch to cleanup the NAPI structs when deleting the netdev. Anjali provides several patches for i40e, first fixes a bug in the update filter logic which was causing a kernel panic. Then provides a fix to rename an error bit to correctly indicate the error. Adds a definition for a new state variable to keep track of features automatically disabled due to hardware resource limitations versus user enforced feature disabled. Anjali provides a patch to add code to handle when there is a filter programming error due to a full table, which also resolves a previous compile warning about an unused "*pf" variable introduced in the last i40e series patch submission. Jesse provides three i40e patches to cleanup strings to make more consistent and to align with other Intel drivers. Akeem cleans up a misleading function header comment for i40e. Mitch provides a fix for i40e/i40evf to use the correctly reported number of MSI-X vectors in the PF an VF. Then provides a patch to use dma_set_mask_and_coherent() which was introduced in v3.13 and simplifies the DMA mapping code a bit. v2: - dropped the 2 ixgbe patches from Emil based on feedback from David Miller, where the 2 fixes should be handled in the net core to fix all drivers ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Phoebe Buckheister says: ==================== ieee802154: fix endianness and header handling This patch set enforces network byte order on all internal operations and fields of the 802.15.4 stack and adds a general representation of 802.15.4 headers with operations to create and parse those headers. This reduces code duplication in the current stack and also allows for upper layers to read headers of packets they have just received; it is also necessary for 802.15.4 link layer security, which requires header mangling. Changes since v1: * fixed lowpan packet rx after reassembly. Control blocks were used to retrieve source/dest addresses, but the CB is clobbered by reassembly. Instead, parse the header anew in lowpan. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Have mac802154 header_ops.create fail with -EMSGSIZE if the length passed will be too large to fit a frame. Since 6lowpan will ensure that no packet payload will be too large, pass a length of 0 there. 802.15.4 dgram sockets will also return -EMSGSIZE on payloads larger than the device MTU instead of -EINVAL.

This patch provides a set of structures to represent 802.15.4 MAC headers, and a set of operations to push/pull/peek these structs from skbs. We cannot simply pointer-cast the skb MAC header pointer to these structs, because 802.15.4 headers are wildly variable - depending on the first three bytes, virtually all other fields of the header may be present or not, and be present with different lengths. The new header creation/parsing routines also support 802.15.4 security headers, which are currently not supported by the mac802154 implementation of the protocol.

Add a replacement ieee802154_addr struct with proper endianness on fields. Short address fields are stored as __le16 as on the network, extended (EUI64) addresses are __le64 as opposed to the u8[8] format used previously.

The struct as currently defined uses host byte order for some fields, and most big endian/EUI display byte order for other fields. Inside the stack, endianness should ideally match network byte order where possible to minimize the number of byteswaps done in critical paths, but this patch does not address this; it is only preparatory.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "Three of these are regression fixes, for two recent regressions and one introduced during the 3.13 cycle, and the fourth one is a working version of the fix that had to be reverted last time. Specifics: - A recent ACPI resources handling fix overlooked the fact that it had to update the ACPI PNP subsystem's resources parsing too and caused confusing warning messages to be printed during system intialization on some systems (with arguably buggy ACPI tables). Fix from Zhang Rui. - Moving the early ACPI initialization before timekeeping_init() earlier in this cycle broke fast TSC calibration on at least one system, so it needs to be done later, but still before efi_enter_virtual_mode() to allow the EFI initialization to refer to ACPI. - A change related to code duplication reduction in the cpufreq core inadvertently caused cpufreq intialization to fail for some CPUs handled by intel_pstate by adding checks that may fail for that driver, but aren't even necessary when it is used. The issue is addressed by preventing those checks from run in the configurations in which they aren't needed. - If the Hardware Reduced ACPI flag is set in the ACPI tables, system suspend, hibernation and ACPI power off will only work when special sleep control and sleep status registeres are provided (their addresses in the ACPI tables are not zero). If those registers are not available, the features in question have no chances to work, so they shouldn't even be regarded as supported. That helps with power off in particular, because alternative power off methods may be used then and they may actually work" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.14-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPI / sleep: Add extra checks for HW Reduced ACPI mode sleep states ACPI / init: Invoke early ACPI initialization later cpufreq: Skip current frequency initialization for ->setpolicy drivers PNP / ACPI: proper handling of ACPI IO/Memory resource parsing failures
