Michael Chan 35efa7c1f4 [BNX2]: Introduce new bnx2_napi structure.
Introduce a bnx2_napi structure that will hold a napi_struct and
other fields to handle NAPI polling for the napi_struct.  Various tx
and rx indexes and status block pointers will be moved from the main
bnx2 structure to this bnx2_napi structure.

Most NAPI path functions are modified to be passed this bnx2_napi
struct pointer.

Michael Chan c09c262783 [BNX2]: Fix RX packet rot.
Packets can be left in the RX ring if the NAPI budget is reached.
This is caused by storing the latest rx index at the beginning of
bnx2_rx_int().  We may not process all the work up to this index
if the budget is reached and so some packets in the RX ring may rot
when we later check for more work using this stored rx index.

The fix is to not store this latest hw index and only store the
processed rx index.  We use a new function bnx2_get_hw_rx_cons()
to fetch the latest hw rx index.

This patch modifies gzip unpacking code in bnx2 driver so that
it does not depend on bnx2 internals. I will move this code
out of the driver and into zlib in follow-on patch.

It can be useful in other drivers which need to store firmwares

whatever.

Stephen Hemminger bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.

In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.

The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:

	int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)

to

	int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.

Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler.  Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

Michael Chan 2f8af120a1 [BNX2]: Fix tx race condition.
Fix a subtle race condition between bnx2_start_xmit() and bnx2_tx_int()
similar to the one in tg3 discovered by Herbert Xu:

CPU0					CPU1
bnx2_start_xmit()
	if (tx_ring_full) {
		tx_lock
					bnx2_tx()
						if (!netif_queue_stopped)
		netif_stop_queue()
		if (!tx_ring_full)
						update_tx_ring
			netif_wake_queue()
		tx_unlock
	}

Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in bnx2_tx_int() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above.  This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if bnx2_tx_int() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring.  The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.

The following changes are made, very much identical to the tg3 fix:

1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.

2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock.  This eliminates one spinlock in bnx2_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.

3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in bnx2_tx_int() before calling
netif_wake_queue().

4. Add memory barrier to bnx2_tx_avail().

5. Add bp->tx_wake_thresh which is set to half the tx ring size.

6. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx().  This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

Refine bnx2_poll() logic to write back the most up-to-date status tag

The idea is to read the status tag just before exiting bnx2_poll() and
then check again for any new work. If no new work is pending, the
status tag written back will not generate any extra interrupt. This
logic is similar to the changes David Miller did to tg3_poll().

Michael Chan c921e4c4db [BNX2]: Fix bug in irq handler and add prefetch
Fix bug in bnx2_interrupt() that caused an unnecessary register read.
The BNX2_PCICFG_MISC_STATUS should only be read when the status tag
has not changed.

Add prefetch of the status block in bnx2_msi() similar to tg3_msi().
The status block is not touched in bnx2_msi() and prefetching it will
speed up bnx2_poll() that will run on the same CPU that received the
MSI.

Update version.

Michael Chan e89bbf1049 [BNX2]: remove atomics in tx
Remove atomic operations in the fast tx path. Expensive atomic
operations were used to keep track of the number of available tx
descriptors. The new code uses the difference between the consumer
and producer index to determine the number of free tx descriptors.

As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the name of the inline function is
changed to all lower case.

Michael Chan cd339a0ed6 [BNX2]: speedup serdes linkup
This speeds up link-up time on 5706 SerDes if the link partner does
not autoneg, a rather common scenario in blade servers. Some blade
servers use IPMI for keyboard input and it's important to minimize
link disruptions.

The speedup is achieved by shortening the timer to (HZ / 3) during
the transient period right after initiating a SerDes autoneg. If
autoneg does not complete, parallel detect can be done sooner. After
the transient period is over, the timer goes back to its normal HZ
interval.

As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the timer initialization is moved to
bnx2_init_board() from bnx2_open().

An eeprom bit is also added to allow default forced SerDes speed for
even faster link-up time.

Michael Chan afdc08b9f9 [BNX2]: Fix rtnl deadlock in bnx2_close
This fixes an rtnl deadlock problem when flush_scheduled_work() is
called from bnx2_close(). In rare cases, linkwatch_event() may be on
the workqueue from a previous close of a different device and it will
try to get the rtnl lock which is already held by dev_close().

The fix is to set a flag if we are in the reset task which is run
from the workqueue. bnx2_close() will loop until the flag is cleared.
As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the loop is changed to call msleep(1)
instead of yield() in the original patch.

flush_scheduled_work() is also moved to bnx2_remove_one() before the
netdev is freed.
