2011-06-07igb: fix i350 SR-IOV failtureWilliams, Mitch A
When SR-IOV is enabled, i350 devices fail to pass traffic. This is due to the driver attempting to enable RSS on the PF device, which is not supported by the i350. When max_vfs is specified on an i350 adapter, set the number of RSS queues to 1. This issue affects 2.6.39 as well.

2011-05-22Add appropriate <linux/prefetch.h> include for prefetch usersPaul Gortmaker
After discovering that wide use of prefetch on modern CPUs could be a net loss instead of a win, net drivers which were relying on the implicit inclusion of prefetch.h via the list headers showed up in the resulting cleanup fallout. Give them an explicit include via the following $0.02 script. ========================================= #!/bin/bash MANUAL="" for i in `git grep -l 'prefetch(.*)' .` ; do grep -q '<linux/prefetch.h>' $i if [ $? = 0 ] ; then continue fi ( echo '?^#include <linux/?a' echo '#include <linux/prefetch.h>' echo . echo w echo q ) | ed -s $i > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? != 0 ]; then echo $i needs manual fixup MANUAL="$i $MANUAL" fi done echo ------------------- 8\<---------------------- echo vi $MANUAL ========================================= Signed-off-by: Paul <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> [ Fixed up some incorrect #include placements, and added some non-network drivers and the fib_trie.c case - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-04-29ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed APIDavid Decotigny
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated.

Implemented igb_ndo_set_vf_bw function which is being used by iproute2 tool. In addition, updated igb_ndo_get_vf_config function to show the actual rate limit to the user. The rate limitation can be configured only when the link is up. The rate limit value can be ranged between 0 and actual link speed measured in Mbps. A value of '0' disables the rate limit for this specific VF. iproute2 usage will be 'ip link set ethX vf Y rate Z'. After the command is made, the rate will be changed instantly. To view the current rate limit, use 'ip link show ethX'. The rates will be zeroed only upon driver reload or a link speed change. This feature is being supported only by 82576 device.

2010-08-08e100/e1000*/igb*/ixgb*: Add missing read memory barrierJeff Kirsher
Based on patches from Sonny Rao and Milton Miller... Combined the patches to fix up clean_tx_irq and clean_rx_irq. The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes to be ordered without adding an explicit barrier. In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data. With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it. The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header and data are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order we may have data that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use hardware checksumming this bad data is never verified and it makes it all the way to the application. This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has been shown to fix it. The bug can manifest as a data integrity issue (bad payload data) or as a BUG in skb_pull(). This was a nasty bug to hunt down, if people agree with the fix I think it's a candidate for stable. Previously Submitted to e1000-devel only for ixgbe http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=126593062701537&w=3 We've now seen this problem hit with other device drivers (e1000e mostly) So I'm resubmitting with fixes for other Intel Device Drivers with similar issues.
