This patch works around a recently discovered unaligned receive dma problem
with the Altera SGMDA. The Altera SGDMA component cannot be configured to
DMA data to unaligned addresses for receive packet operations from the
Triple Speed Ethernet component because of a potential data transfer
corruption that can occur. This patch addresses this issue by
utilizing the shift 16 bits feature of the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet
component and modifying the receive buffer physical addresses accordingly
such that the target receive DMA address is always aligned on a 32-bit
boundary.

Starting with commit 2dc33bbc "bnx2x: Remove the sriov VFOP mechanism",
the bnx2x started enforcing vlan credits for all vlan configurations.
This exposed 2 issues:
- Vlan credits are not returned once a VF is removed; this causes a leak
of credits, and eventually will lead to VFs with no vlan credits.
- A vlan credit must be set aside for the Hypervisor to use, and should
not be visible to the VF.
Although linux VFs at the moment do not support vlan configuration [from the
VF side] which causes them to be resilient to this sort of issue, Windows VF
over linux hypervisors might fail to load as the vlan credits become depleted.

since commit 53036261033: "brcmfmac: update core reset and disable routines".
The problem is that since this commit brcmf_chip_ai_resetcore no longer sets
BCMA_IOCTL itself before bringing the core out of reset, instead relying on
brcmf_chip_ai_coredisable to do so. But brcmf_chip_ai_coredisable is a nop
of the chip is already in reset. This patch modifies brcmf_chip_ai_coredisable
to always set BCMA_IOCTL even if the core is already in reset.
This fixes brcmfmac hanging in firmware loading on my board.

Alexander reported that the new optimized handling of the RX fifo
causes random packet loss on Intel PCH C_CAN hardware.
After a few fruitless debugging sessions I got hold of a PCH (eg20t)
afflicted system. That machine does not have the CAN interface wired
up, but it was possible to reproduce the issue with the HW loopback
mode.
As Alexander observed correctly, clearing the NewDat flag along with
reading out the message buffer causes that issue on C_CAN, while D_CAN
handles that correctly.
Instead of restoring the original message buffer handling horror the
following workaround solves the issue:
transfer buffer to IF without clearing the NewDat
handle the message
clear NewDat bit
That's similar to the original code but conditional for C_CAN.
I really wonder why all user manuals (C_CAN, Intel PCH and some more)
recommend to clear the NewDat bit right away. The knows it all Oracle
operated by Gurgle does not unearth any useful information either. I
simply cannot believe that we are the first to uncover that HW issue.

The RX buffer split causes packet loss in the hardware:
What happens is:
RX Packet 1 --> message buffer 1 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 2 --> message buffer 2 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 3 --> message buffer 3 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 4 --> message buffer 4 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 5 --> message buffer 5 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 6 --> message buffer 6 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 7 --> message buffer 7 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 8 --> message buffer 8 (newdat bit is not cleared)
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 1
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 2
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 3
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 4
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 5
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 6
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 7
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 8
Now if during that clearing of newdat bits, a new message comes in,
the HW gets confused and drops it.
It does not matter how many of them you clear. I put a delay between
clear of buffer 1 and buffer 2 which was long enough that the message
should have been queued either in buffer 1 or buffer 9. But it did not
show up anywhere. The next message ended up in buffer 1. So the
hardware lost a packet of course without telling it via one of the
error handlers.
That does not happen on all clear newdat bit events. I see one of 10k
packets dropped in the scenario which allows us to reproduce. But the
trace looks always the same.
Not splitting the RX Buffer avoids the packet loss but can cause
reordering. It's hard to trigger, but it CAN happen.
With that mode we use the HW as it was probably designed for. We read
from the buffer 1 upwards and clear the buffer as we get the
message. That's how all microcontrollers use it. So I assume that the
way we handle the buffers was never really tested. According to the
public documentation it should just work :)
Let the user decide which evil is the lesser one.

made me switch to favour potential and unlikely reordering over
packet loss ]

The driver handles pointlessly TWO interrupts per packet. The reason
is that it enables the status interrupt which fires for each rx and tx
packet and it enables the per message object interrupts as well.
The status interrupt merily acks or in case of D_CAN ignores the TX/RX
state and then the message object interrupt fires.
The message objects interrupts are only useful if all message objects
have hardware filters activated.
But we don't have that and its not simple to implement in that driver
without rewriting it completely.
So we can ditch the message object interrupts and handle the RX/TX
right away from the status interrupt. Instead of TWO we handle ONE.
Note: We must keep the TXIE/RXIE bits in the message buffers because
the status interrupt alone is not reliable enough in corner cases.
If we ever have the need for HW filtering, then this code needs a
complete overhaul and we can think about it then. For now we prefer a
lower interrupt load.

restart timer can trigger interrupts which confuse the hell out of the

c_can_start() enables interrupts way too early. The first enabling
happens when setting the control mode in c_can_chip_config() and then
again at the end of the function.
But that happens before napi_enable() and that means that an interrupt
which comes in will disable interrupts again and call napi_schedule,
which ignores the request and the later napi_enable() is not making
thinks work either. So the interface is up with all device interrupts
disabled.
Move the device interrupt after napi_enable() and add it to the other
callsites of c_can_start() in c_can_set_mode() and c_can_power_up()

As reported by Eric Dumazet, the i40e driver was allowing the hardware
to replicate the PSH flag on all segments of a TSO operation.
This patch fixes the first/middle/last TCP flags settings which
makes the TSO operations work correctly.
With this change we are now configuring the CWR bit to only be set
in the first packet of a TSO, so this patch also enables TSO_ECN,
in order to advertise to the stack that we do the right thing
on the wire.

====================
pull request: wireless 2014-04-17
Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.15 stream...
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"We have a fix from Chun-Yeow to not look at management frame bitrates
that are typically really low, two fixes from Felix for AP_VLAN
interfaces, a fix from Ido to disable SMPS settings when a monitor
interface is enabled, a radar detection fix from Michał and a fix from
myself for a very old remain-on-channel bug."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"I have new device IDs and a new firmware API. These are the trivial
ones. The less trivial ones are Johannes's fix that delays the
enablement of an interrupt coalescing hardware until after association
- this fixes a few connection problems seen in the field. Eyal has a
bunch of rate control fixes. I decided to add these for 3.15 because
they fix some disconnection and packet loss scenarios which were
reported by the field. I also have a fix for a memory leak that
happens only with a very new NIC."
Along with those...
Amitkumar Karwar fixes a couple of problems relating to driver/firmware
interactions in mwifiex.
Christian Engelmayer avoids a couple of potential memory leaks in
the new rsi driver.
Eliad Peller provides a wl18xx mailbox alignment fix for problems
when using new firmware.
Frederic Danis adds a couple of missing debugging strings to the
cw1200 driver.
Geert Uytterhoeven adds a variable initialization inside of the
rsi driver.
Luciano Coelho patches the wlcore code to ignore dummy packet events
in PLT mode in order to work around a firmware bug.

The patch fixes a problem with dropped jumbo frames after usage of
'ethtool -G ... rx'.
Scenario:
1. ip link set eth0 up
2. ethtool -G eth0 rx N # <- This zeroes rx-jumbo
3. ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth0
The ethtool command set rx_jumbo_pending to zero so any received jumbo
packets are dropped and you need to use 'ethtool -G eth0 rx-jumbo N'
to workaround the issue.
The patch changes the logic so rx_jumbo_pending value is changed only if
jumbo frames are enabled (MTU > 1500).

Commit 5445eaf309 ('mvneta: Try to fix mvneta when compiled as
module') fixed the mvneta driver to make it work properly when loaded
as a module in SGMII configuration, which was tested successful by the
author on the Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3, which uses SGMII.
However, some other platforms, namely the Armada XP GP don't use
SGMII, but a QSGMII connection between the MAC and the PHY, and this
case was not supported by the mvneta driver, which was relying on
configuration put in place by the bootloader. While this works when
the mvneta driver is built-in (because clocks are not gated), it
breaks when mvneta is built as a module, because the clock is gated
(all configuration is lost) and then re-enabled when the mvneta driver
is loaded.
In order to support all of RGMII, SGMII and QSGMII, this commit
reworks how the PHY interface configuration is done, and simplifies
it: it removes the mvneta_port_sgmii_config() and
mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() functions, which were strange because
mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() was called in all cases, even for SGMII
configurations. Also, the mvneta_gmac_rgmii_set() function was taking
a boolean as argument, which was always true.
Instead, all the PHY interface configuration logic is moved into the
mvneta_port_power_up() function, in a much simpler 'switch' construct,
with four cases:
- QSGMII: the RGMIIEn bit, the PCSEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 are set, and
the SERDES is configured in QSGMII. Technically speaking,
configuring the SERDES of the first port would be sufficient, but
it is simpler to do it on all ports.
- SGMII: the RGMIIEn bit, the PCSEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 are set, and
the SERDES is configured as SGMII.
- RGMII: the RGMIIEn bit in GMAC_CTRL_2 is set. The PCSEn bit is kept
cleared, and no SERDES configuration is done, because RGMII is not
using SERDES lanes.
- other: an error is returned. For this reason, the
mvneta_port_power_up() now returns an int instead of nothing, and
the return value is checked by mvneta_probe().
This has been successfully tested on:
* Armada XP DB, which has two RGMII and two SGMII connections
* Armada XP GP, which uses QSGMII for its four interfaces
* Armada 370 Mirabox, which has two RGMII connections

When an MCDI command times out (whether or not we find it
completed when we poll), call efx_mcdi_abandon(), which tells
all subsequent MCDI calls to fail-fast, and queues up an FLR.
Because an FLR doesn't lead to receiving any reboot even from
the MC (unlike most other types of reset), we have to call
efx_ef10_reset_mc_allocations.
In efx_start_all(), if a reset (of any kind) is pending, we
bail out.
Without this, attempts to reconfigure (e.g. change mtu) can
cause driver/mc state inconsistency if the first MCDI call
triggers an FLR.
For similar reasons, on EF10, in
efx_reset_down(method=RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT), set the number
of active queues to zero before calling efx_stop_all().
And, on farch, in efx_reset_up(method=RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT),
set active_queues and flushes pending & outstanding to zero.
efx_mcdi_mode_{poll,event}() should not take us out of fail-fast
mode. Instead, this is done by efx_mcdi_reset() after the FLR
completes.
The new FLR reset_type RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT doesn't really
fit into the hierarchy of reset 'scopes' whereby efx_reset()
decides some resets subsume others. Thus, it uses separate logic.
Also, fixed up some inconsistency around RESET_TYPE_MC_BIST,
which was in the wrong place in that hierarchy.

After this the stack tries to remove device from bus and calls
be_remove() which invokes netdev_unregister()->be_close().
be_close() operating on destroyed queues results in a
NULL dereference.

be_close() currently waits for a max of 200ms to receive all pending
TX compls. This timeout value was roughly calculated based on 10G
transmission speeds and the TX queue depth. This timeout may not be
enough when the link is operating at lower speeds or in multi-channel/SR-IOV
configs with TX-rate limiting setting.
It is hard to calculate a "proper timeout value" that works in all
configurations. This patch solves this problem by continuing to reap
TX completions till the HW is completely silent for a period of 10ms or
a HW error is detected.
v2: implements the new scheme (as suggested by David Laight) instead of
just waiting longer than 200ms for reaping all completions.

This reverts commit e3a8786c10. While
this commit allows to use the mvneta driver as a module on some
configurations, it breaks other configurations even if mvneta is used
built-in.
This breakage is due to the fact that on some RGMII platforms, the PCS
bit has to be set, and on some other platforms, it has to be
cleared. At the moment, we lack informations to know exactly the
significance of this bit (the datasheet only says "enables PCS"), and
so we can't produce a patch that will work on all platforms at this
point. And since this change is breaking the network completely for
many users, it's much better to revert it for now. We'll come back
later with a proper fix that takes into account all platforms.
Basically:
* Armada XP GP is configured as RGMII-ID, and needs the PCS bit to be
set.
* Armada 370 Mirabox is configured as RGMII-ID, and needs the PCS bit
to be cleared.
And at the moment, we don't know how to make the distinction between
those two cases. One hint is that the Armada XP GP appears in fact to
be using a QSGMII connection with the PHY (Quad-SGMII), but
configuring it as SGMII doesn't work, while RGMII-ID works. This needs
more investigation, but in the mean time, let's unbreak the network
for all those users.

Despite having low legacy rates in the LQ table lower entries
it doesn't help much in case we're doing aggregations as the

After being idle for a long time (>5sec) the rs statistics
will be stale so we prefer to reset rs and start from legacy
rates again. This gives better results when the attenuation
increased signficantly (e.g. we got further from the AP) and
after a while we start Tx
Note that the first Tx after the idle period will still go out
in the old modulation and rate but this seemed a simpler approach
compared to adding a timer or modifying mac80211 for this.
The negative impact is negligble as we'll recover quickly.
