commit 9ac32e1b firmware: convert e100 driver to request_firmware()
did a straight conversion of the in-driver ucode to external
files. This introduced the possibility of the driver failing
to enable an interface due to missing ucode. There was no
evaluation of the importance of the ucode at the time.Based on comments in earlier versions of this driver, and in
the source code for the FreeBSD fxp driver, we can assume that
the ucode implements the "CPU Cycle Saver" feature on supported
adapters. Although generally wanted, this is an optional
feature. The ucode source is not available, preventing it from
being included in free distributions. This creates unnecessary
problems for the end users. Doing a network install based on a
free distribution installer requires the user to download and
insert the ucode into the installer.Making the ucode optional when possible improves the user
experience and driver usability.The ucode for some adapters include a bugfix, making it
essential. We continue to fail for these adapters unless the
ucode is available.Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork

This patch adds the asix_set_eeprom() function to provide support for
programming the configuration EEPROM via ethtool.Signed-off-by: Christian Riesch
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
The current code for reading the EEPROM via ethtool in the asix
driver has a few issues. It cannot handle odd length values
(accesses must be aligned at 16 bit boundaries) and interprets the
offset provided by ethtool as 16 bit word offset instead as byte offset.The new code for asix_get_eeprom() introduced by this patch is
modeled after the code in
drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atl1e/atl1e_ethtool.c
and provides read access to the entire EEPROM with arbitrary
offsets and lengths.Signed-off-by: Christian Riesch

cxgb3 interface has a bad performance when VLAN is set. On my current

include/net/dst_ops.h:28:20: warning: ‘struct sock’ declared inside parameter list
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
-
tcp_v4_send_reset() and tcp_v4_send_ack() use a single socket
per network namespace.This leads to bad behavior on multiqueue NICS, because many cpus
contend for the socket lock and once socket lock is acquired, extra
false sharing on various socket fields slow down the operations.To better resist to attacks, we use a percpu socket. Each cpu can
run without contention, using appropriate memory (local node)Additional features :
1) We also mirror the queue_mapping of the incoming skb, so that
answers use the same queue if possible.2) Setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE socket flag speedup sock_wfree()
3) We now limit the number of in-flight RST/ACK [1] packets
per cpu, instead of per namespace, and we honor the sysctl_wmem_default
limit dynamically. (Prior to this patch, sysctl_wmem_default value was
copied at boot time, so any further change would not affect tcp_sock
limit)[1] These packets are only generated when no socket was matched for
the incoming packet.Reported-by: Bill Sommerfeld

Use global seqlock for the nh_exceptions. Call
fnhe_oldest with the right hash chain. Correct the diff
value for dst_set_expires.v2: after suggestions from Eric Dumazet:
* get rid of spin lock fnhe_lock, rearrange update_or_create_fnhe
* continue daddr search in rt_bind_exceptionv3:
* remove the daddr check before seqlock in rt_bind_exception
* restart lookup in rt_bind_exception on detected seqlock change,

Use RFS infrastructure and flow steering in HW to keep CPU
affinity of rx interrupts and application per TCP stream.A flow steering filter is added to the HW whenever the RFS
ndo callback is invoked by core networking code.Because the invocation takes place in interrupt context, the
actual setup of HW is done using workqueue. Whenever new filter
is added, the driver checks for expiry of existing filters.Since there's window in time between the point where the core
RFS code invoked the ndo callback, to the point where the HW
is configured from the workqueue context, the 2nd, 3rd etc
packets from that stream will cause the net core to invoke
the callback again and again.To prevent inefficient/double configuration of the HW, the filters
are kept in a database which is indexed using hash function to enable
fast access.Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai

All of our hardware supports RSS even if it is only for a single queue. So
instead of toting around the RSS enable flag I am updating the code so that
all devices are enabled and if we want to disable RSS it is indicated via
the RSS mask.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

This change essentially makes it so that we can enable almost all of the
features all at once. This patch allows for the combination of SR-IOV,
DCB, and FCoE in the case of the x540. It also beefs up the SR-IOV by
adding support for RSS to the PF.The testing matrix gets to be very complex for this patch as there are a
number of different features and subsets for queueing options. I tried to
narrow these down a bit by restricting the PF to only supporting 4TC DCB
when it is enabled in addition to SR-IOV.Cc: Greg Rose

This change allows all pools from the default pool forward to be enabled vi
ixgbe_configure_virtualization. This is needed as we are planning to use
queues belonging to adjacent pools for FCoE when SR-IOV and FCoE are both
enabled.In addition this patch contains some minor formatting changes as there were
a few spots that seemed to be in need of some cleanup.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

In ixgbevf_get_ringparam we could run into a NULL pointer dereference
if the rings were not allocated when we attempted the call. To prevent
that we can just access the tx/rx_ring_count values instead of attempting
to access the rings to get the count.This change corrects a memory leak and memory corruption in
ixgbevf_set_ringparam.The memory leak was due to us not freeing the resources from the ring
before overwriting them. This change corrects the memory leak by making
certain to call ixgbe_free_tx/rx_resources on the rings prior to freeing
them.The memory corruption was because we were replacing the rings but not
updating the q_vectors. It addresses the memory corruption by leaving the
rings in place and instead just copying the contents of the new rings into
the existing rings.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

We have had an issue when using ixgbe+ixgbevf and 802.1 VLAN tagging.
When attaching a VLAN to a VF, frames with a 802.1q priority appeared
untagged on the VF hence not reaching the VLAN, where frames with
priority 0 where tagged as expected and seen by the VLAN device.This seems due to the way ixgbevf is looking up the full tag
(prio+cfi+vlan) against the adapter active_vlans, as a condition to mark
the skb tagged.Signed-off-by: Pascal Bouchareine

Introduce ipv6_addr_hash() helper doing a XOR on all bits
of an IPv6 address, with an optimized x86_64 version.Use it in flow dissector, as suggested by Andrew McGregor,
to reduce hash collision probabilities in fq_codel (and other
users of flow dissector)Use it in ip6_tunnel.c and use more bit shuffling, as suggested
by David Laight, as existing hash was ignoring most of them.Use it in sunrpc and use more bit shuffling, using hash_32().
Use it in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, using hash_32() as well.
As a cleanup, use it in net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.c

Drivers should pull only ethernet header from page frag
