2012-05-17net/mlx4_en: num cores tx rings for every UPAmir Vadai
Change the TX ring scheme such that the number of rings for untagged packets and for tagged packets (per each of the vlan priorities) is the same, unlike the current situation where for tagged traffic there's one ring per priority and for untagged rings as the number of core. Queue selection is done as follows: If the mqprio qdisc is operates on the interface, such that the core networking code invoked the device setup_tc ndo callback, a mapping of skb->priority => queue set is forced - for both, tagged and untagged traffic. Else, the egress map skb->priority => User priority is used for tagged traffic, and all untagged traffic is sent through tx rings of UP 0.

2012-05-17e1000: look in the page and not in skb->data for the last byteSebastian Andrzej Siewior
The code seems to want to look at the last byte where the HW puts some information. Since the skb->data area is never seen by the HW I guess it does not work as expected. We pass the page address to the HW so I *think* in order to get to the last byte where the information might be one should use the page buffer and take a look.

2012-05-17e1000: remove workaround for Errata 23 from jumbo allocSebastian Andrzej Siewior
According to the comment, errata 23 says that the memory we allocate can't cross a 64KiB boundary. In case of jumbo frames we allocate complete pages which can never cross the 64KiB boundary because PAGE_SIZE should be a multiple of 64KiB so we stop either before the boundary or start after it but never cross it. Furthermore the check seems bogus because it looks at skb->data which is not seen by the HW at all because we only pass the DMA address of the page we allocated. So I *think* the workaround is not required here.

Fix so that delete slave (only) resources during cleanup. Master resources are cleaned up during unload process, and need not separately be cleaned. Note that during cleanup, we need to split the resource-tracker freeing functionality. Before removing all the bitmaps, we free any leftover slave resources.

Consider the following scenario: 2 HCAs, where only one of which can run SRIOV. If we reset the module parameter, all the VFs of the SRIOV HCA will be claimed by the PPF host (-- the code relies on num_vfs being non-zero to avoid this claiming, and num_vfs was reset when pci_enable_sriov failed for the non-SRIOV HCA).

2012-05-16net/mlx4_core: Fix init_port mask state for slavesJack Morgenstein
In function mlx4_INIT_PORT_wrapper, the port state mask for the slave is only set if we are invoking the INIT_PORT fw command. However, the reference count for the (initialized) port is incremented anyway. This creates a problem in that when we have multiple slaves, then the CLOSE_PORT command will never be invoked. The reason is that in the CLOSE_PORT wrapper, if the port-state mask is zero for the slave (which it is), the wrapper returns without doing anything. The only slave which will not return immediately in the CLOSE_PORT wrapper is that slave for which INIT_PORT was invoked. The fix is to not have the port-state mask setting depend on the logic for calling the INIT_PORT fw command.

2012-05-10ehea: fix losing of NEQ events when one event occurred earlyThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
The NEQ interrupt is only triggered when there was no previous pending interrupt. If we request irq handling after an interrupt has occurred, we will never get an interrupt until we call H_RESET_EVENTS. Events seem to be cleared when we first register the NEQ. So, when we requested irq handling right after registering it, a possible race with an interrupt was much less likely. Now, there is a chance we may lose this race and never get any events. The fix here is to poll and acknowledge any events that might have happened right after registering the irq handler.

2012-05-09ixgbe: Hardware Timestamping + PTP Hardware Clock (PHC)Jacob Keller
This patch enables hardware timestamping for use with PTP software by extracting a ns counter from an arbitrary fixed point cycles counter. The hardware generates SYSTIME registers using the DMA tick which changes based on the current link speed. These SYSTIME registers are converted to ns using the cyclecounter and timecounter structures provided by the kernel. Using the SO_TIMESTAMPING api, software can enable and access timestamps for PTP packets. The SO_TIMESTAMPING API has space for 3 different kinds of timestamps, SYS, RAW, and SOF. SYS hardware timestamps are hardware ns values that are then scaled to the software clock. RAW hardware timestamps are the direct raw value of the ns counter. SOF software timestamps are the software timestamp calculated as close as possible to the software transmit, but are not offloaded to the hardware. This patch only supports the RAW hardware timestamps due to inefficiency of the SYS design. This patch also enables the PHC subsystem features for atomically adjusting the cycle register, and adjusting the clock frequency in parts per billion. This frequency adjustment works by slightly adjusting the value added to the cycle registers each DMA tick. This causes the hardware registers to overflow rapidly (approximately once every 34 seconds, when at 10gig link). To solve this, the timecounter structure is used, along with a timer set for every 25 seconds. This allows for detecting register overflow and converting the cycle counter registers into ns values needed for providing useful timestamps to the network stack. Only the basic required clock functions are supported at this time, although the hardware supports some ancillary features and these could easily be enabled in the future. Note that use of this hardware timestamping requires modifying daemon software to use the SO_TIMESTAMPING API for timestamps, and the ptp_clock PHC framework for accessing the clock. The timestamps have no relation to the system time at all, so software must use the posix clock generated by the PHC framework instead.
