2014-10-08cxgb4: clean up a type issueDan Carpenter
The tx_desc struct holds 8 __be64 values. The original code in ring_tx_db() took a tx_desc pointer then casted it to an int pointer and then casted it to a u64 pointer. It was confusing and triggered some static checker warnings. I have changed the cxgb_pio_copy() function to only take tx_desc pointers. This isn't really a loss of flexibility because anything else was buggy to begin with. I also removed the casting on the destination pointer since that was unnecessary and a bit messy.

2014-10-08r8169:add support for RTL8168EPChun-Hao Lin
RTL8168EP is Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller with DASH support. It is a successor chip of RTL8168DP. For RTL8168EP, the read/write ocp register is via eri channel type 2, so I move ocp_xxx() related functions under rtl_eri_xxx. And use r8168dp_ocp_xxx() for RTL8168DP ocp read/write, r8168ep_ocp_xxx() for RTL8168EP ocp read/write. The way of checking dash enable is different with RTL8168DP. I use r8168dp_check_dash()for RTL8168DP and r8168ep_check_dash() for RTL8168EP, to check if dash is enabled. The driver_start() and driver_stop() of RTL8168EP is also different with RTL8168DP. I use rtl8168dp_driver_xxx() for RTL8168DP and rtl8168ep_driver_xxx for RTL8168EP. Right now, RTL8168EP phy mcu did not need firmware code patch, so I did not add firmware code for it. so I did not add firmware code for it.

2014-10-07tipc: fix bug in multicast congestion handlingJon Maloy
One aim of commit 50100a5e39461b2a61d6040e73c384766c29975d ("tipc: use pseudo message to wake up sockets after link congestion") was to handle link congestion abatement in a uniform way for both unicast and multicast transmit. However, the latter doesn't work correctly, and has been broken since the referenced commit was applied. If a user now sends a burst of multicast messages that is big enough to cause broadcast link congestion, it will be put to sleep, and not be waked up when the congestion abates as it should be. This has two reasons. First, the flag that is used, TIPC_WAKEUP_USERS, is set correctly, but in the wrong field. Instead of setting it in the 'action_flags' field of the arrival node struct, it is by mistake set in the dummy node struct that is owned by the broadcast link, where it will never tested for. Second, we cannot use the same flag for waking up unicast and multicast users, since the function tipc_node_unlock() needs to pick the wakeup pseudo messages to deliver from different queues. It must hence be able to distinguish between the two cases. This commit solves this problem by adding a new flag TIPC_WAKEUP_BCAST_USERS, and a new function tipc_bclink_wakeup_user(). The latter is to be called by tipc_node_unlock() when the named flag, now set in the correct field, is encountered. v2: using explicit 'unsigned int' declaration instead of 'uint', as per comment from David Miller.

2014-10-07net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

2014-10-07net/mlx4_en: remove NETDEV_TX_BUSYEric Dumazet
Drivers should avoid NETDEV_TX_BUSY as much as possible. They should stop the tx queue before qdisc even tries to push another packet, to avoid requeues. For a driver supporting skb->xmit_more, this is likely to be a prereq anyway, otherwise we could have a tx deadlock : We need to force a doorbell if TX ring is full.

2014-10-06net: sched: do not use tcf_proto 'tp' argument from call_rcuJohn Fastabend
Using the tcf_proto pointer 'tp' from inside the classifiers callback is not valid because it may have been cleaned up by another call_rcu occuring on another CPU. 'tp' is currently being used by tcf_unbind_filter() in this patch we move instances of tcf_unbind_filter outside of the call_rcu() context. This is safe to do because any running schedulers will either read the valid class field or it will be zeroed. And all schedulers today when the class is 0 do a lookup using the same call used by the tcf_exts_bind(). So even if we have a running classifier hit the null class pointer it will do a lookup and get to the same result. This is particularly fragile at the moment because the only way to verify this is to audit the schedulers call sites.

More work need to do: - Disable BF when xmit_more is in use - Make TSO use xmit_more too. Maybe by splitting small TSO packets in the driver itself, to avoid extra cpu/memory costs of GSO before the driver - Fix mlx4_en_xmit buggy handling of queue full in the middle of a burst partially posted to send queue using xmit_more Eric, I edited the patches to have you as the Author and the first signed-off-by. I hope it is ok with you (I wasn't sure if it is ok to sign by you), anyway all the credit to those changes should go to you. Patchset was tested and applied over commit 1e203c1 "(net: sched: suspicious RCU usage in qdisc_watchdog") [1] - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/394256/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-10-06net/mlx4_en: Use the new tx_copybreak to set inline thresholdEric Dumazet
Instead of setting inline threshold using module parameter only on driver load, use set_tunable() to set it dynamically. No need to store the threshold per ring, using instead the netdev global priv->prof->inline_thold Initial value still is set using the module parameter, therefore backward compatability is kept.

Acces skb_shinfo(skb) once in tx flow. Also, rename @i variable to @i_frag to avoid confusion, as the "goto tx_drop_unmap;" relied on this @i variable.

2014-10-06net/mlx4_en: Avoid a cache line miss in TX completion for single frag skb'sEric Dumazet
Add frag0_dma/frag0_byte_count into mlx4_en_tx_info to avoid a cache line miss in TX completion for frames having one dma element. (We avoid reading back the tx descriptor) Note this could be extended to 2/3 dma elements later, as we have free room in mlx4_en_tx_info Also, mlx4_en_free_tx_desc() no longer accesses skb_shinfo(). We use a new nr_maps fields in mlx4_en_tx_info to avoid 2 or 3 cache misses. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
