2013-10-09i40e: Add support for Tx byte queue limitsAlexander Duyck

2013-10-09i40e: Drop dead code and flags from Tx hotpathAlexander Duyck
Drop Tx flag and TXSW which is tested but never set. As a result of this change we can drop a complicated check that always resulted in the final result of i40e_tx_csum being equal to the CHECKSUM_PARTIAL value. As such we can replace the entire function call with just a check for skb->summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.

2013-10-09i40e: Do not directly increment Tx next_to_useAlexander Duyck
Avoid directly incrementing next_to_use for multiple reasons. The main reason being that if we directly increment it then it can attain a state where it is equal to the ring count. Technically this is a state it should not be able to reach but the way this is written it now can. This patch pulls the value off into a register and then increments it and writes back either the value or 0 depending on if the value is equal to the ring count.

2013-10-10inet: includes a sock_common in request_sockEric Dumazet
TCP listener refactoring, part 5 : We want to be able to insert request sockets (SYN_RECV) into main ehash table instead of the per listener hash table to allow RCU lookups and remove listener lock contention. This patch includes the needed struct sock_common in front of struct request_sock This means there is no more inet6_request_sock IPv6 specific structure. Following inet_request_sock fields were renamed as they became macros to reference fields from struct sock_common. Prefix ir_ was chosen to avoid name collisions. loc_port -> ir_loc_port loc_addr -> ir_loc_addr rmt_addr -> ir_rmt_addr rmt_port -> ir_rmt_port iif -> ir_iif Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-10-10net: gro: allow to build full sized skbEric Dumazet
skb_gro_receive() is currently limited to 16 or 17 MSS per GRO skb, typically 24616 bytes, because it fills up to MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags. It's relatively easy to extend the skb using frag_list to allow more frags to be appended into the last sk_buff. This still builds very efficient skbs, and allows reaching 45 MSS per skb. (45 MSS GRO packet uses one skb plus a frag_list containing 2 additional sk_buff) High speed TCP flows benefit from this extension by lowering TCP stack cpu usage (less packets stored in receive queue, less ACK packets processed) Forwarding setups could be hurt, as such skbs will need to be linearized, although its not a new problem, as GRO could already provide skbs with a frag_list. We could make the 65536 bytes threshold a tunable to mitigate this. (First time we need to linearize skb in skb_needs_linearize(), we could lower the tunable to ~16*1460 so that following skb_gro_receive() calls build smaller skbs) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-10-09i40e: Drop unused completed statAlexander Duyck
The Tx "completed" stat was part of the original rewrite for detecting Tx hangs. However some time ago in ixgbe I determined that we could just use the packets stat instead.

2013-10-09xhci: Fix spurious wakeups after S5 on HaswellTakashi Iwai
Haswell LynxPoint and LynxPoint-LP with the recent Intel BIOS show mysterious wakeups after shutdown occasionally. After discussing with BIOS engineers, they explained that the new BIOS expects that the wakeup sources are cleared and set to D3 for all wakeup devices when the system is going to sleep or power off, but the current xhci driver doesn't do this properly (partly intentionally). This patch introduces a new quirk, XHCI_SPURIOUS_WAKEUP, for fixing the spurious wakeups at S5 by calling xhci_reset() in the xhci shutdown ops as done in xhci_stop(), and setting the device to PCI D3 at shutdown and remove ops. The PCI D3 call is based on the initial fix patch by Oliver Neukum. [Note: Sarah changed the quirk name from XHCI_HSW_SPURIOUS_WAKEUP to XHCI_SPURIOUS_WAKEUP, since none of the other quirks have system names in them. Sarah also fixed a collision with a quirk submitted around the same time, by changing the xhci->quirks bit from 17 to 18.] This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit 1c12443ab8eba71a658fae4572147e56d1f84f66 "xhci: Add Lynx Point to list of Intel switchable hosts."

2013-10-09xhci: fix write to USB3_PSSEN and XUSB2PRM pci config registersXenia Ragiadakou
The function pci_write_config_dword() sets the appropriate byteordering internally so the value argument should not be converted to little-endian. This bug was found by sparse. This patch is not suitable for stable. Since cpu_to_lei32 is a no-op on little endian systems, this bug would only affect big endian Intel systems with the EHCI to xHCI port switchover, which are non-existent, AFAIK.

2013-10-09xhci: Don't enable/disable RWE on bus suspend/resume.Sarah Sharp
The RWE bit of the USB 2.0 PORTPMSC register is supposed to enable remote wakeup for devices in the lower power link state L1. It has nothing to do with the device suspend remote wakeup from L2. The RWE bit is designed to be set once (when USB 2.0 LPM is enabled for the port) and cleared only when USB 2.0 LPM is disabled for the port. The xHCI bus suspend method was setting the RWE bit erroneously, and the bus resume method was clearing it. The xHCI 1.0 specification with errata up to Aug 12, 2012 says in section 4.23.5.1.1.1 "Hardware Controlled LPM": "While Hardware USB2 LPM is enabled, software shall not modify the HIRDBESL or RWE fields of the USB2 PORTPMSC register..." If we have previously enabled USB 2.0 LPM for a device, that means when the USB 2.0 bus is resumed, we violate the xHCI specification by clearing RWE. It also means that after a bus resume, the host would think remote wakeup is disabled from L1 for ports with USB 2.0 Link PM enabled, which is not what we want. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, that contain the commit 65580b4321eb36f16ae8b5987bfa1bb948fc5112 "xHCI: set USB2 hardware LPM". That was the first kernel that supported USB 2.0 Link PM. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

abort pending TX In patch 0d1862e can: flexcan: fix flexcan_chip_start() on imx6 the loop in flexcan_chip_start() that iterates over all mailboxes after the soft reset of the CAN core was removed. This loop put all mailboxes (even the ones marked as reserved 1...7) into EMPTY/INACTIVE mode. On mailboxes 8...63, this aborts any pending TX messages. After a cold boot there is random garbage in the mailboxes, which leads to spontaneous transmit of CAN frames during first activation. Further if the interface was disabled with a pending message (usually due to an error condition on the CAN bus), this message is retransmitted after enabling the interface again. This patch fixes the regression by: 1) Limiting the maximum number of used mailboxes to 8, 0...7 are used by the RX FIFO, 8 is used by TX. 2) Marking the TX mailbox as EMPTY/INACTIVE, so that any pending TX of that mailbox is aborted.

2013-10-09batman-adv: tvlv - basic infrastructureMarek Lindner
The goal is to provide the infrastructure for sending, receiving and parsing information 'containers' while preserving backward compatibility. TVLV (based on the commonly known Type Length Value technique) was chosen as the format for those containers. Even if a node does not know the tvlv type of a certain container it can simply skip the current container and proceed with the next. Past experience has shown features evolve over time, so a 'version' field was added right from the start to allow differentiating between feature variants - hence the name: T(ype) V(ersion) L(ength) V(alue). This patch introduces the basic TVLV infrastructure: * register / unregister tvlv containers to be sent with each OGM (on primary interfaces only) * register / unregister callback handlers to be called upon finding the corresponding tvlv type in a tvlv buffer * unicast tvlv send / receive API calls Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Spyros Gasteratos <morfeas3000@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com>
