Conflicts:
	drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c
	include/linux/inetdevice.h

The inetdevice.h conflict involves moving the IPV4_DEVCONF values
into a UAPI header, overlapping additions of some new entries.

The iwlwifi conflict is a context overlap.

Peter Wu 15edae91cb r8169: fix invalid register dump
For some reason, my PCIe RTL8111E onboard NIC on a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
motherboard reads as FFs when reading from MMIO with a block size
larger than 7. Therefore change to reading blocks of four bytes.

Ben Hutchings noted that the buffer is large enough to hold all
registers, so now all registers are read.

Peter Wu 8f9d513803 r8169: remember WOL preferences on driver load
Do not clear Broadcast/Multicast/Unicast Wake Flag or LanWake in
Config5. This is necessary to preserve WOL state when the driver is
loaded. Although the r8168 vendor driver does not write Config5 (it has
been commented out), Hayes Wang from Realtek said that masking bits like
this is more sensible.

Lekensteyn 4ea72445bd r8169: fix lockdep warning when removing interface
The work queue is initialised in rtl_open (when the interface goes up),
but canceled in rtl_remove_one (when the PCI device gets removed). If
the network interface is not brought up, then the work queue struct is
not initialised. When the device is removed, the attempt to cancel the
uninitialised work queue causes a lockdep warning.

This patch fixes the issue by moving cancel_work_sync to rtl_close (to
match rtl_open). (Note that rtl_close is also called via
unregister_netdev in rtl_remove_one.)

françois romieu b423e9ae49 r8169: fix offloaded tx checksum for small packets.
8168evl offloaded checksums are wrong since commit
e5195c1f31 ("r8169: fix 8168evl frame padding.")
pads small packets to 60 bytes (without ethernet checksum). Typical symptoms
appear as UDP checksums which are wrong by the count of added bytes.

It isn't worth compensating. Let the driver checksum.

Due to the skb length changes, TSO code is moved before the Tx descriptor gets
written.

Timo Teräs 5d0feaff23 r8169: remove the obsolete and incorrect AMD workaround
This was introduced in commit 6dccd16 "r8169: merge with version
6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver". I did not find the version
6.001.00 online, but in 6.002.00 or any later r8169 from Realtek
this hunk is no longer present.

Also commit 05af214 "r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC
rev d" claims to have fixed this issue otherwise.

The magic compare mask of 0xfffe000 is dubious as it masks
parts of the Reserved part, and parts of the VLAN tag. But this
does not make much sense as the VLAN tag parts are perfectly
valid there. In matter of fact this seems to be triggered with
any VLAN tagged packet as RxVlanTag bit is matched. I would
suspect 0xfffe0000 was intended to test reserved part only.

Finally, this hunk is evil as it can cause more packets to be
handled than what was NAPI quota causing net/core/dev.c:
net_rx_action(): WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight) to trigger, and
mess up the NAPI state causing device to hang.

As result, any system using VLANs and having high receive
traffic (so that NAPI poll budget limits rtl_rx) would result
in device hang.

 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic.  This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail.  Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

Michal Schmidt aee77e4acc r8169: use unlimited DMA burst for TX
The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have
a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full
potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited.

The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl
(XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled.

I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput
on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024,
'7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results:
http://michich.fedorapeople.org/r8169/r8169-effects-of-TX_DMA_BURST.png

Interesting points:
 - With the current DMA burst limit (1024):
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s.
   - when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with
     increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's
     a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically
     again with further MTU increases.
 - With a smaller DMA burst limit (512):
   - there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564.
 - With unlimited DMA burst:
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s.
   - the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange
     peaks.

Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst
limit plus 52. Why 52? Because:
  20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52

The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too,
except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes.
CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B",
i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs
the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements.

françois romieu eb2dc35d99 r8169: RxConfig hack for the 8168evl.
The 8168evl (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34) based Gigabyte GA-990FXA motherboards
are very prone to NETDEV watchdog problems without this change. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42899 for instance.

I don't know why it *works*. It's depressingly effective though.

For the record:
- the problem may go along IOMMU (AMD-Vi) errors but it really looks
  like a red herring.
- the patch sets the RX_MULTI_EN bit. If the 8168c doc is any guide,
  the chipset now fetches several Rx descriptors at a time.
- long ago the driver ignored the RX_MULTI_EN bit.
  e542a2269f changed the RxConfig
  settings. Whatever the problem it's now labeled a regression.
- Realtek's own driver can identify two different 8168evl devices
  (CFG_METHOD_16 and CFG_METHOD_17) where the r8169 driver only
  sees one. It sucks.

françois romieu 7dbb491878 r8169: avoid NAPI scheduling delay.
While reworking the r8169 driver a few months ago to perform the
smallest amount of work in the irq handler, I took care of avoiding
any irq mask register operation in the slow work dedicated user
context thread. The slow work thread scheduled an extra round of NAPI
work which would ultimately set the irq mask register as required,
thus keeping such irq mask operations in the NAPI handler.
It would eventually race with the irq handler and delay NAPI execution
for - assuming no further irq - a whole ksoftirqd period. Mildly a
problem for rare link changes or corner case PCI events.

The race was always lost after the last bh disabling lock had been
removed from the work thread and people started wondering where those
pesky "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages came from.

Actually the irq mask register _can_ be set up directly in the slow
work thread.

françois romieu 2a15cd2ff4 r8169: runtime resume before shutdown.
With runtime PM, if the ethernet cable is disconnected, the device is
transitioned to D3 state to conserve energy. If the system is shutdown
in this state, any register accesses in rtl_shutdown are dropped on
the floor. As the device was programmed by .runtime_suspend() to wake
on link changes, it is thus brought back up as soon as the link recovers.

Resuming every suspended device through the driver core would slow things
down and it is not clear how many devices really need it now.

- avoid useless tp->dev dereferencing in start_xmit (E. Dumazet)

Use of netdev_reset_queue is favored over proper accounting in

Francois Romieu 6c05d25267 r8169: spinlock redux.
rtl8169_get_regs operates under RTNL and rtl task mutex whereas
rtl_set_rx_mode is either called under RTNL or rtl task mutex protection.

Francois Romieu 98ddf986fc r8169: bh locking redux and task scheduling.
- atomic bit operations are globally visible
- pending status is always cleared before execution
- scheduled works are either idempotent or only required to happen once
  after a series of originating events, say link events for instance

Francois Romieu da78dbff2e r8169: remove work from irq handler.
The irq handler was a mess.

See 7ab87ff4c7 ("via-rhine: move work from
irq handler to softirq and beyond") for similar changes. One can notice:
- all non-napi tasks are explicitely scheduled trough a single work queue.
- hiding software tx queue start behind the rtl_hw_start method is mildly
  natural. Move it in the caller where needed.
- as can be seen from the heavy use of bh disabling locks, the driver is
  not safe for irq context messages with netconsole. It is still quite
  usable for general messaging though. Tested ok with concurrent registers
  dump (ethtool -d) + background traffic + "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger".

Tested with old PCI chipset, PCIe 8168 and 810x:
- XID 0c900800 RTL8168evl/8111evl
- XID 18000000 RTL8168b/8111b
- XID 98000000 RTL8169sc/8110sc
- XID 083000c0 RTL8168d/8111d
- XID 081000c0 RTL8168d/8111d
- XID 00b00000 RTL8105e
- XID 04a00000 RTL8102e

As a side note, the comments in f11a377b3f
("r8169: avoid losing MSI interrupts") does not seem completely clear: if
I hack the driver further to stop acking the irq link event bit, MSI
interrupts keep being delivered (RTL8168b/8111b, XID 18000000).
