Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 3a24934f06 wimax/i2400m: fix bad race condition check in RX path
The i2400m->rx_roq data structure is protected against race conditions
with a reference count (i2400m->rx_roq_refcount); the pointer can be
read-referenced under the i2400m->rx_lock spinlock.

The code in i2400m_rx_edata() wasn't properly following access
protocol, performing an invalid check on i2400m->rx_roq (which is
cleared to NULL when the refcount drops to zero). As such, it was
missing to detect when the data structure is no longer valid and
oopsing with a NULL pointer dereference.

This commit fixes said check by verifying, under the rx_lock spinlock,
that i2400m->rx_roq is non-NULL and then increasing the reference
count before dropping the spinlock.

Prasanna S. Panchamukhi d11a6e4495 wimax i2400m: fix race condition while accessing rx_roq by using kref count
This patch fixes the race condition when one thread tries to destroy
the memory allocated for rx_roq, while another thread still happen
to access rx_roq.
Such a race condition occurs when i2400m-sdio kernel module gets
unloaded, destroying the memory allocated for rx_roq while rx_roq
is accessed by i2400m_rx_edata(), as explained below:
$thread1                                $thread2
$ void i2400m_rx_edata()                $

$roq = &i2400m->rx_roq[ro_cin]          $
$ i2400m_roq_[reset/queue/update_ws]    $
$                                       $ void i2400m_rx_release();
$                                       $kfree(rx->roq);

Cindy H Kao d94401742d wimax/i2400m: Reset the TX FIFO indices when allocating the TX FIFO in tx_setup()
This patch makes sure whenever tx_setup() is invoked during driver
initialization or device reset where TX FIFO is released and re-allocated,
the indices tx_in, tx_out, tx_msg_size, tx_sequence, tx_msg are properly
initialized.

When a device reset happens and the TX FIFO is released/re-allocated,
a new block of memory may be allocated for the TX FIFO, therefore tx_msg
should be cleared so that no any TX threads (tx_worker, tx) would access
to the out-of-date addresses.

Also, the TX threads use tx_in and tx_out to decide where to put the new
host-to-device messages and from where to copy them to the device HW FIFO,
these indices have to be cleared so after the TX FIFO is re-allocated during
the reset, the indices both refer to the head of the FIFO, ie. a new start.
The same rational applies to tx_msg_size and tx_sequence.

To protect the indices from being accessed by multiple threads simultaneously,
the lock tx_lock has to be obtained before the initializations and released
afterwards.

Cindy H Kao 599e595384 wimax/i2400m: add the error recovery mechanism on TX path
This patch adds an error recovery mechanism on TX path.
The intention is to bring back the device to some known state
whenever TX sees -110 (-ETIMEOUT) on copying the data to the HW FIFO.

The TX failure could mean a device bus stuck or function stuck, so
the current error recovery implementation is to trigger a bus reset
and expect this can bring back the device.

Since the TX work is done in a thread context, there may be a queue of TX works
already that all hit the -ETIMEOUT error condition because the device has
somewhat stuck already. We don't want any consecutive bus resets simply because
multiple TX works in the queue all hit the same device erratum, the flag
"error_recovery" is introduced to denote if we are ready for taking any
error recovery. See @error_recovery doc in i2400m.h.

Cindy H Kao f4e4134581 wimax/i2400m: fix for missed reset events if triggered by dev_reset_handle()
The problem is only seen on SDIO interface since on USB, a bus reset would
really re-probe the driver, but on SDIO interface, a bus reset will not
re-enumerate the SDIO bus, so no driver re-probe is happening. Therefore,
on SDIO interface, the reset event should be still detected and handled by
dev_reset_handle().

Problem description:
Whenever a reboot barker is received during operational mode (i2400m->boot_mode == 0),
dev_reset_handle() is invoked to handle that function reset event.
dev_reset_handle() then sets the flag i2400m->boot_mode to 1 indicating the device is
back to bootmode before proceeding to dev_stop() and dev_start().
If dev_start() returns failure, a bus reset is triggered by dev_reset_handle().

The flag i2400m->boot_mode then remains 1 when the second reboot barker arrives.
However the interrupt service routine i2400ms_rx() instead of invoking dev_reset_handle()
to handle that reset event, it filters out that boot event to bootmode because it sees
the flag i2400m->boot_mode equal to 1.

The fix:
Maintain the flag i2400m->boot_mode within dev_reset_handle() and set the flag
i2400m->boot_mode to 1 when entering dev_reset_handle(). It remains 1
until the dev_reset_handle() issues a bus reset. ie: the bus reset is
taking place just like it happens for the first time during operational mode.

To denote the actual device state and the state we expect, a flag i2400m->alive
is introduced in addition to the existing flag i2400m->updown.
It's maintained with the same way for i2400m->updown but instead of reflecting
the actual state like i2400m->updown does, i2400m->alive maintains the state
we expect. i2400m->alive is set 1 just like whenever i2400m->updown is set 1.
Yet i2400m->alive remains 1 since we expect the device to be up all the time
until the driver is removed. See the doc for @alive in i2400m.h.

An enumeration I2400M_BUS_RESET_RETRIES is added to define the maximum number of
bus resets that a device reboot can retry.

A counter i2400m->bus_reset_retries is added to track how many bus resets
have been retried in one device reboot. If I2400M_BUS_RESET_RETRIES bus resets
were retried in this boot, we give up any further retrying so the device would enter
low power state. The counter i2400m->bus_reset_retries is incremented whenever
dev_reset_handle() is issuing a bus reset and is cleared to 0 when dev_start() is
successfully done, ie: a successful reboot.

Prasanna S. Panchamukhi 570eb0ea65 wimax/i2400m: fix insufficient size of Tx buffer for 12 payload of 1400 MTU.
This patch increases the Tx buffer size so as to accommodate 12 payloads
of 1408 (1400 MTU 16 bytes aligned). Currently Tx buffer is 32 KiB which
is insufficient to accommodate 12 payloads of 1408 size.
This patch
 - increases I2400M_TX_BUF_SIZE from 32KiB to 64KiB
 - Adds a BUILD_BUG_ON if the calculated buffer size based
   on the given MTU exceeds the I2400M_TX_BUF_SIZE.

Below is how we calculate the size of the Tx buffer.
Payload + 4 bytes prefix for each payload (1400 MTU 16 bytes boundary aligned)
		= (1408 + sizeof(struct i2400m_pl_data_hdr)) * I2400M_TX_PLD_MAX
Adding 16 byte message header = + sizeof(struct i2400m_msg_hdr)
Aligning to 256 byte boundary
Total Tx buffer = (((((1408 + sizeof(struct i2400m_pl_data_hdr))
		* I2400M_TX_PLD_MAX )+ sizeof(struct i2400m_msg_hdr))
		/ 256) + 1) * 256 * 2

Similar to the patch for bridge, this patch does:

1) implement the 2 methods to support netpoll for bonding;

2) modify netpoll during forwarding packets via bonding;

3) disable netpoll support of bonding when a netpoll-unabled device
   is added to bonding;

4) enable netpoll support when all underlying devices support netpoll.

WANG Cong 0e34e93177 netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devices
This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding
devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding,
and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now.

To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust
some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things:

1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device:
   IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll;
   IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device
   at run-time;

2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops:
   ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is
     removed.

3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter;
   export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later;

4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto.

5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll.

6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable
   netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

Greg Rose 08259594e0 ixgbevf: Cache PF ack bit in interrupt
When the PF acks a message from the VF the VF gets an interrupt.  It
must cache the ack bit so that polling SW will not miss the ack.  Also
avoid reading the message buffer on acks because that also will clear
the ack bit.

Greg Rose 8a07a22d85 ixgbe: Streamline MC filter setup for VFs
The driver was calling the set Rx mode function for every multicast
filter set by the VF.  When starting many VMs where each might have
multiple VLAN interfaces this would result in the function being
called hundreds or even thousands of times.  This is unnecessary
for the case of the imperfect filters used in the MTA and has been
streamlined to be more efficient.
