This patch resolves a number of issues in the statistics gathering of
the s2io driver.
On Xframe adapters, the received multicast statistics counter includes
pause frames which are not indicated to the driver. This can cause
issues where the multicast packet count is higher than what has actually
been received, possibly higher than the number of packets received.
The driver software counters are replaced with the adapter hardware
statistics for rx_packets, rx_bytes, and tx_bytes. It also uses the
overflow registers to determine if the statistics wrapped the 32bit
register (removing the window of having a statistic value less than the
previous call). rx_length_errors statistic now includes undersized
packets in addition to oversized packets in its counting. Finally,
rx_crc_errors are now being counted.

Single line log messages should be emitted by a single call
where possible.
Converted multiple calls to DBG_PRINT to single call form.
Removed "s2io:" preface from DBG_PRINTs.
The DBG_PRINT macro now emits a log level and is surrounded by
a do {...} while (0)
All s2io log output is now prefaced with KBUILD_MODNAME ": "
via pr_fmt.
The DBG_PRINT macro should probably be converted to use the
dev_<level> form eventually.

s2io has IOMMU overflow checking, but unfortunately it is wrong.
It didn't use the standard macros, which meant that it only worked
on POWER and SPARC because only those define DMA_ERROR_CODE. Convert it to
use the standard macros instead.
I also commented two more bugs in the IOMMU handling. It assumes
that 0 DMA addresses cannot happen, but that's not true in all IOMMU setups.
The information if a buffer has been already mapped needs to be stored
elsewhere.
Didn't fix those because it needs careful checking of the buffer handling
by the maintainers.

Resubmitting patch from Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>, with subject -
[PATCH] s2io LRO bugs.
a) initiate_new_session() sets ->tcp_ack to ntohl(...); everything
else stores and expects to find there the net-endian value.
b) check for monotonic timestamps in verify_l3_l4_lro_capable()
compares the value sitting in TCP option (right there in the skb->data,
net-endian 32bit) with the value picked from earlier packet.
Doing that without ntohl() is an interesting idea and it might even
work occasionally; unfortunately, it's quite broken.

- One time de assert the interrupts by writing all F's to the general_int_mask
register instead of de asserting by clearing the source of interrupts with
multiple writes which causes loss of interrupts (race conditions). It is
entirely possible that before the driver has a chance to mask the asserted
alarm bit, another alarm/traffic interrupt bit gets asserted as well. In
this case Herc will keep the INTA line asserted and the bridge will not
send a new Assert_INTA message upstream.

- Added support to poll entire set of device errors and alarams.
- A note on how device errors and alarms are handled:
- The adapter will automatically recover from uncorrectable ECC errors.
Packets containing corrupted data will be dropped (not transmitted) or tagged
as invalid before being passed to the host.
- The adapter cannot recover from any internal state machine errors. A state
machine error requires a device reset.
- Any internal error that could potentially result in .store trampling.
(undesirable PCI behaviour)is tagged as a "serious error". In such cases
the adapter will give up its ability to be a bus master. In this situation
the host will still be able to read internal device registers in order to
generate an error report. A device reset is necessary to return to normal
operation.
- In the event of a pcix data parity error, the adapter will automatically
disable itself. Adapter_En will automatically transition from '1' to '0' and
the adapter will enter its clean-up routine. Once the device has achieved
quiescence, an adapter reset should be performed.
- Replaced alarm_intr_handler() with s2io_handle_errors().
- Added statistic counters to monitor the alarms.

- Added support to unmask entire set of device errors and alarams.
Alarm interrupts are generated for a myriad of purposes, ranging from
illegal operations or requests to internal state machine errors and
uncorrectable data corruption errors. In several cases the adapter can
recover gracefully from unexpected events; however, in some cases, a device
reset may be necessary. This patch handles alarms generated by all the
blocks within the device.
The adapter generates the following types of alarms:
1. Link state transitions (local/remote fault) or other link-related
problems.
2. Problems with any device peripherals, including the EEPROM, FLASH,
etc.
3. Correctable ECC errors (single-bit errors) on internal data
structures or frame data.
4. Uncorrectable ECC errors (multi-bit errors) on internal data
structures or frame data.
5. State machine errors, which indicate that internal control
structures have become corrupted.
6. PCI related errors, including parity errors or illegal transactions.
7. Other unexpected events.
- Implemented Jeff's review comments to use do_s2io_write_bits function to avoid
duplicate codes.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.
With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.
Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.
This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.
In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.
