Sebastian Andrzej Siewior a3060858c2 e1000: look in the page and not in skb->data for the last byte
The code seems to want to look at the last byte where the HW puts some
information. Since the skb->data area is never seen by the HW I guess it
does not work as expected. We pass the page address to the HW so I
*think* in order to get to the last byte where the information might be
one should use the page buffer and take a look.
This is of course not more than just compile tested.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 4af4a23328 e1000: remove workaround for Errata 23 from jumbo alloc
According to the comment, errata 23 says that the memory we allocate
can't cross a 64KiB boundary. In case of jumbo frames we allocate
complete pages which can never cross the 64KiB boundary because
PAGE_SIZE should be a multiple of 64KiB so we stop either before the
boundary or start after it but never cross it. Furthermore the check
seems bogus because it looks at skb->data which is not seen by the HW
at all because we only pass the DMA address of the page we allocated. So
I *think* the workaround is not required here.

Resolved the iwlwifi conflict with mainline using 3-way diff posted
by John Linville and Stephen Rothwell.  In 'net' we added a bug
fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this
conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next.

In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of
adapter->itr.  'net-next' had more sophisticated logic so that
logic was used.

Dan Carpenter noticed that ixgbevf initial default was different than

was doing it almost right.

Jiri Pirko 52f5509fe8 e1000: fix vlan processing regression
This patch fixes a regression introduced by commit "e1000: do vlan
cleanup (799d531)".

Apparently some e1000 chips (not mine) are sensitive about the order of
setting vlan filter and vlan stripping/inserting functionality. So this
patch changes the order so it's the same as before vlan cleanup.

Jesse Brandeburg 3a3847e007 e1000: fix lockdep splat in shutdown handler
As reported by Steven Rostedt, e1000 has a lockdep splat added
during the recent merge window.  The issue is that
cancel_delayed_work is called while holding our private mutex.

There is no reason that I can see to hold the mutex during pci
shutdown, it was more just paranoia that I put the mutex_lock
around the call to e1000_down.

In a quick survey lots of drivers handle locking differently when
being called by the pci layer.  The assumption here is that we
don't need the mutexes' protection in this function because
the driver could not be unloaded while in the shutdown handler
which is only called at reboot or poweroff.

        :

Which came from from a process' page table I dumped out when the marked line
was seen as bad by print_bad_pte().

The repeating pattern represents the e1000's two-word receive descriptor:

struct e1000_rx_desc {
        __le64 buffer_addr;   /* Address of the descriptor's data buffer */
        __le16 length;        /* Length of data DMAed into data buffer */
        __le16 csum;          /* Packet checksum */
        u8 status;            /* Descriptor status */
        u8 errors;            /* Descriptor Errors */
        __le16 special;
};

And the 32nd bit of the 2nd word maps to the 'u8 status' member, and
corresponds to E1000_RXD_STAT_DD which indicates the descriptor is done.

The corruption appears to result from the following...

 . An 'ifconfig ethN down' gets us into e1000_close(), which through a number
   of subfunctions results in:
     1. E1000_RCTL_EN being cleared in RCTL register.  [e1000_down()]
     2. dma_free_coherent() being called.  [e1000_free_rx_resources()]

 . An 'ifconfig ethN up' gets us into e1000_open(), which through a number of
   subfunctions results in:
     1. dma_alloc_coherent() being called.  [e1000_setup_rx_resources()]
     2. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register.  [e1000_setup_rctl()]
     3. E1000_RCTL_EN being cleared in RCTL register.  [e1000_configure_rx()]
     4. RDLEN, RDBAH and RDBAL registers being set to reflect the dma page
        allocated in step 1.  [e1000_configure_rx()]
     5. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register.  [e1000_configure_rx()]

During the 'ifconfig ethN up' there is a window opened, starting in step 2
where the receives are enabled up until they are disabled in step 3, in which
the address of the receive descriptor dma page known by the NIC is still the
previous one which was freed during the 'ifconfig ethN down'. If this memory
has been reallocated for some other use and the NIC feels so inclined, it will
write to that former dma page with predictably unpleasant results.

I realize that in the guest, we're dealing with an e1000 NIC that is software
emulated by qemu-kvm. The problem doesn't appear to occur on bare-metal. Andy
suspects that this is because in the emulator link-up is essentially instant
and traffic can start flowing immediately. Whereas on bare-metal, link-up
usually seems to take at least a few milliseconds. And this might be enough
to prevent traffic from flowing into the device inside the window where
E1000_RCTL_EN is set.

So perhaps a modification needs to be made to the qemu-kvm e1000 NIC emulator
to delay the link-up. But in defense of the emulator, it seems like a bad idea
to enable dma operations before the address of the memory to be involved has
been made known.

The following patch no longer enables receives in e1000_setup_rctl() but leaves
them however they were. It only enables receives in e1000_configure_rx(), and
only after the dma address has been made known to the hardware.

There are two places where e1000_setup_rctl() gets called. The one in
e1000_configure() is followed immediately by a call to e1000_configure_rx(), so
there's really no change functionally (except for the removal of the problem
window. The other is in __e1000_shutdown() and is not followed by a call to
e1000_configure_rx(), so there is a change functionally. But consider...

 . An 'ifconfig ethN down' (just as described above).

 . A 'suspend' of the system, which (I'm assuming) will find its way into
   e1000_suspend() which calls __e1000_shutdown() resulting in:
     1. E1000_RCTL_EN being set in RCTL register.  [e1000_setup_rctl()]

And again we've re-opened the problem window for some unknown amount of time.

Dean Nelson 31c15a2f24 e1000: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses
Virtual Machines with emulated e1000 network adapter running on Parallels'
server were seeing kernel panics due to the e1000 driver dereferencing an
unexpected NULL pointer retrieved from buffer_info->skb.

The problem has been addressed for the e1000e driver, but not for the e1000.
Since the two drivers share similar code in the affected area, a port of the
following e1000e driver commit solves the issue for the e1000 driver:

commit 9ed318d546

    e1000e: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses

    In e1000_tx_map, precompute number of segements and bytecounts which
    are derived from fields in skb; these are stored in buffer_info.  When
    cleaning tx in e1000_clean_tx_irq use the values in the associated
    buffer_info for statistics counting, this eliminates cache misses
    on skb fields.
