2011-10-06igb: Make first and tx_buffer_info->next_to_watch into pointersAlexander Duyck
This change converts two tx_buffer_info index values into pointers. The advantage to this is that we reduce unnecessary computations and in the case of next_to_watch we get an added bonus of the value being able to provide additional information as a NULL value indicates it is unset versus a 0 not having any meaning for the index value.

2011-10-06igb: Consolidate creation of Tx context descriptors into a single functionAlexander Duyck
This patch is meant to simplify the transmit path by reducing the overhead for creating a transmit context descriptor. The current implementation is split with igb_tso and igb_tx_csum doing two separate implementations on how to setup the tx_buffer_info structure and the tx_desc. By combining them it is possible to reduce code and simplify things since now only one function will create context descriptors.

2011-10-06igb: split buffer_info into tx_buffer_info and rx_buffer_infoAlexander Duyck
In order to be able to improve the performance of the TX path it has been necessary to add addition info to the tx_buffer_info structure. However a side effect is that the structure has gotten larger and this in turn has also increased the size of the RX buffer info structure. In order to avoid this in the future I am splitting the single buffer_info structure into two separate ones and instead I will join them by making the buffer_info pointer in the ring a union of the two.

2011-10-06igb: Make Tx budget for NAPI user adjustableAlexander Duyck
This change is to make the NAPI budget limits for transmit adjustable. Currently they are only set to 128, and when the changes/improvements to NAPI occur to allow for adjustability, it would be possible to tune the value for optimal performance with applications such as routing. v2: remove tie between NAPI and interrupt moderation fix work limit define name (s/IXGBE/IGB/) Update patch description to better reflect patch Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Tested-by: Aaron Brown <aaron.f.brown@intel.com>
2011-10-06e1000e: bad short packets received when jumbos enabled on 82579Bruce Allan
When short packets are received with jumbos enabled on 82579, they can be interpreted to have a receive address that does not match any configured address. This is due to a hardware bug that can be worked around by reducing the number of IPG octets added when the packet is transferred from the PHY to the MAC.

The e1000 driver when running with lockdep could run into some possible deadlocks between the work items acquiring rtnl and the rtnl lock being acquired before work items were cancelled. Use a private mutex to make sure lock ordering isn't violated. The private mutex is only used to protect areas not generally covered by the rtnl lock already.

2011-10-06bridge: allow forwarding some link local framesstephen hemminger
This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements, and compatibility with earlier releases. It adds a new sysfs attribute /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility. One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards. I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default. The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.

2011-10-06sched: Request for idle balance during nohz idle load balanceSuresh Siddha
rq's idle_at_tick is set to idle/busy during the timer tick depending on the cpu was idle or not. This will be used later in the load balance that will be done in the softirq context (which is a process context in -RT kernels). For nohz kernels, for the cpu doing nohz idle load balance on behalf of all the idle cpu's, its rq->idle_at_tick might have a stale value (which is recorded when it got the timer tick presumably when it is busy). As the nohz idle load balancing is also being done at the same place as the regular load balancing, nohz idle load balancing was bailing out when it sees rq's idle_at_tick not set. Thus leading to poor system utilization. Rename rq's idle_at_tick to idle_balance and set it when someone requests for nohz idle balance on an idle cpu.

2011-10-06sched: Use resched IPI to kick off the nohz idle balanceSuresh Siddha
Current use of smp call function to kick the nohz idle balance can deadlock in this scenario. 1. cpu-A did a generic_exec_single() to cpu-B and after queuing its call single data (csd) to the call single queue, cpu-A took a timer interrupt. Actual IPI to cpu-B to process the call single queue is not yet sent. 2. As part of the timer interrupt handler, cpu-A decided to kick cpu-B for the idle load balancing (sets cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick to 1) and __smp_call_function_single() with nowait will queue the csd to the cpu-B's queue. But the generic_exec_single() won't send an IPI to cpu-B as the call single queue was not empty. 3. cpu-A is busy with lot of interrupts 4. Meanwhile cpu-B is entering and exiting idle and noticed that it has it's rq->nohz_balance_kick set to '1'. So it will go ahead and do the idle load balancer and clear its rq->nohz_balance_kick. 5. At this point, csd queued as part of the step-2 above is still locked and waiting to be serviced on cpu-B. 6. cpu-A is still busy with interrupt load and now it got another timer interrupt and as part of it decided to kick cpu-B for another idle load balancing (as it finds cpu-B's rq->nohz_balance_kick cleared in step-4 above) and does __smp_call_function_single() with the same csd that is still locked. 7. And we get a deadlock waiting for the csd_lock() in the __smp_call_function_single(). Main issue here is that cpu-B can service the idle load balancer kick request from cpu-A even with out receiving the IPI and this lead to doing multiple __smp_call_function_single() on the same csd leading to deadlock. To kick a cpu, scheduler already has the reschedule vector reserved. Use that mechanism (kick_process()) instead of using the generic smp call function mechanism to kick off the nohz idle load balancing and avoid the deadlock. [ This issue is present from 2.6.35+ kernels, but marking it -stable only from v3.0+ as the proposed fix depends on the scheduler_ipi() that is introduced recently. ] Reported-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org # v3.0+ Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111003220934.834943260@sbsiddha-desk.sc.intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2011-10-06e1000e: WoL fails on device ID 0x1501Bruce Allan
PCI device ID 0x1501 has a hardware bug when the link downshifts for whatever reason which requires a workaround. The workaround already exists for other similar devices but is not called for 0x1501 (it should be called for any ICH8-based device that uses a GbE PHY). There is also one other instance when the workaround should be called - after disabling gigabit speed when going to Sx.
