The B.A.T.M.A.N. IV OGM receive function still was hard-coded although
it is a routing protocol specific function. This patch takes advantage
of the dynamic packet handler registration to remove the hard-coded
function calls.Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner

In is_type_dhcprequest(), while parsing a DHCP message, if the entry we found in
the option list is neither a padding nor the dhcp-type, we have to ignore it and
jump as many bytes as its length + 1. The "+ 1" byte is given by the subtype
field itself that has to be jumped too.Reported-by: Marek Lindner

An implementation of CoDel AQM, from Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson.
http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2209336
This AQM main input is no longer queue size in bytes or packets, but the
delay packets stay in (FIFO) queue.As we don't have infinite memory, we still can drop packets in enqueue()
in case of massive load, but mean of CoDel is to drop packets in
dequeue(), using a control law based on two simple parameters :target : target sojourn time (default 5ms)
interval : width of moving time window (default 100ms)Based on initial work from Dave Taht.
Refactored to help future codel inclusion as a plugin for other linux
qdisc (FQ_CODEL, ...), like RED.include/net/codel.h contains codel algorithm as close as possible than
Kathleen reference.net/sched/sch_codel.c contains the linux qdisc specific glue.
Separate structures permit a memory efficient implementation of fq_codel
(to be sent as a separate work) : Each flow has its own struct
codel_vars.timestamps are taken at enqueue() time with 1024 ns precision, allowing
a range of 2199 seconds in queue, and 100Gb links support. iproute2 uses
usec as base unit.Selected packets are dropped, unless ECN is enabled and packets can get
ECN mark instead.Tested from 2Mb to 10Gb speeds with no particular problems, on ixgbe and
tg3 drivers (BQL enabled).Usage: tc qdisc ... codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ target TIME ]
[ interval TIME ] [ ecn ]qdisc codel 10: parent 1:1 limit 2000p target 3.0ms interval 60.0ms ecn

maxpacket 1514 ecn_mark 84399 drop_overlimit 0CoDel must be seen as a base module, and should be used keeping in mind
there is still a FIFO queue. So a typical setup will probably need a
hierarchy of several qdiscs and packet classifiers to be able to meet
whatever constraints a user might have.One possible example would be to use fq_codel, which combines Fair
Queueing and CoDel, in replacement of sfq / sfq_red.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

Class bytes/packets stats can be misleading because they are updated in
enqueue() while packet might be dropped later.We already fixed all qdiscs but sch_atm.
This patch makes the final cleanup.
class rate estimators can now match qdisc ones.

Calling pci_disable_sriov() while VFs are assigned to VMs causes
kernel panic. This patch uses PCI_DEV_FLAGS_ASSIGNED bit state of the
VF's pci_dev to avoid this. Also, the unconditional function reset cmd
issued on a PF probe can delete the VF configuration for the
previously enabled VFs. A scratchpad register is now used to issue a
function reset only when needed (i.e., in a crash dump scenario.)Signed-off-by: Sathya Perla

If enabled, L2TP data packets have sequence numbers which a receiver
can use to drop out of sequence frames or try to reorder them. The
first frame has sequence number 0, but the L2TP code currently expects
it to be 1. This results in the first data frame being handled as out
of sequence.This one-line patch fixes the problem.
Signed-off-by: James Chapman
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
When L2TP data packet reordering is enabled, packets are held in a
queue while waiting for out-of-sequence packets. If a packet gets
lost, packets will be held until the reorder timeout expires, when we
are supposed to then advance to the sequence number of the next packet
but we don't currently do so. As a result, the data channel is stuck
because we are waiting for a packet that will never arrive - all
packets age out and none are passed.The fix is to add a flag to the session context, which is set when the
reorder timeout expires and tells the receive code to reset the next
expected sequence number to that of the next packet in the queue.Tested in a production L2TP network with Starent and Nortel L2TP gear.

The current value of the udelay timeout for ixgbe_disable_rx_buff is too

This patch enables the PPS system in the PHC framework, by enabling
the clock-out feature on the X540 device. Causes the SDP0 to be set as
a 1Hz clock. Also configures the timesync interrupt cause in order to
report each pulse to the PPS via the PHC framework, which can be used
for general system clock synchronization. (This allows a stable method
for tuning the general system time via the on-board SYSTIM register
based clock.)Signed-off-by: Jacob E 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.Signed-off-by: Jacob E Keller

The drop enable bit can be used to improve the performance of the adapter
in the case of multiple queues being present. This performance gain is due
to the fact that some slower CPUs can cause the FIFO to backfill preventing
faster CPUs from receiving additional work. By setting the drop enable bit
we prevent this and instead just drop the packets that would have been
bound for the slower CPU.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

This change cleans up the logic in the priority based flow control
configuration routines. Both the 82599 and 82598 based routines perform
similar functions however they are both arranged completely differently.
This patch goes over both of them to clean up the code.In addition I am dropping the ixgbe_fc_pfc flow control mode and instead
just replacing it with checks for if priority flow control is enabled.
This allows us to maintain some of the link flow control information which
allows for an easier transition between link and priority flow control.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

o Linux stack estimates MSS from skb->len or skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size.
In case of LRO skb->len is aggregate of len of number of packets hence MSS
obtained using skb->len would be incorrect. Incorrect estimation of recv MSS
would lead to delayed acks in some traffic patterns (which sends two or three
packets and wait for ack and only then send remaining packets). This leads to
drop in performance. Hence we need to set gso_size to MSS obtained from firmware.o This is fixed recently in firmware hence the MSS is obtained based on
capability. If fw is capable of sending the MSS then only driver sets the gso_size.Signed-off-by: Rajesh Borundia
