In its receive path, mlx4_en driver maps each page chunk that it pushes
to the hardware and unmaps it when pushing it up the stack. This limits
throughput to about 3Gbps on a Power7 8-core machine.
One solution is to map the entire allocated page at once. However, this
requires that we keep track of every page fragment we give to a
descriptor. We also need to work with the discipline that all fragments will
be released (in the sense that it will not be reused by the driver
anymore) in the order they are allocated to the driver.
This requires that we don't reuse any fragments, every single one of
them must be reallocated. We do that by releasing all the fragments that
are processed and only after finished processing the descriptors, we
start the refill.
We also must somehow guarantee that we either refill all fragments in a
descriptor or none at all, without resorting to giving up a page
fragment that we would have already given. Otherwise, we would break the
discipline of only releasing the fragments in the order they were
allocated.
This has passed page allocation fault injections (restricted to the
driver by using required-start and required-end) and device hotplug
while 16 TCP streams were able to deliver more than 9Gbps.

commit 9ac32e1b firmware: convert e100 driver to request_firmware()
did a straight conversion of the in-driver ucode to external
files. This introduced the possibility of the driver failing
to enable an interface due to missing ucode. There was no
evaluation of the importance of the ucode at the time.
Based on comments in earlier versions of this driver, and in
the source code for the FreeBSD fxp driver, we can assume that
the ucode implements the "CPU Cycle Saver" feature on supported
adapters. Although generally wanted, this is an optional
feature. The ucode source is not available, preventing it from
being included in free distributions. This creates unnecessary
problems for the end users. Doing a network install based on a
free distribution installer requires the user to download and
insert the ucode into the installer.
Making the ucode optional when possible improves the user
experience and driver usability.
The ucode for some adapters include a bugfix, making it
essential. We continue to fail for these adapters unless the
ucode is available.

The current code for reading the EEPROM via ethtool in the asix
driver has a few issues. It cannot handle odd length values
(accesses must be aligned at 16 bit boundaries) and interprets the
offset provided by ethtool as 16 bit word offset instead as byte offset.
The new code for asix_get_eeprom() introduced by this patch is
modeled after the code in
drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atl1e/atl1e_ethtool.c
and provides read access to the entire EEPROM with arbitrary
offsets and lengths.

tcp_v4_send_reset() and tcp_v4_send_ack() use a single socket
per network namespace.
This leads to bad behavior on multiqueue NICS, because many cpus
contend for the socket lock and once socket lock is acquired, extra
false sharing on various socket fields slow down the operations.
To better resist to attacks, we use a percpu socket. Each cpu can
run without contention, using appropriate memory (local node)
Additional features :
1) We also mirror the queue_mapping of the incoming skb, so that
answers use the same queue if possible.
2) Setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE socket flag speedup sock_wfree()
3) We now limit the number of in-flight RST/ACK [1] packets
per cpu, instead of per namespace, and we honor the sysctl_wmem_default
limit dynamically. (Prior to this patch, sysctl_wmem_default value was
copied at boot time, so any further change would not affect tcp_sock
limit)
[1] These packets are only generated when no socket was matched for
the incoming packet.

Use RFS infrastructure and flow steering in HW to keep CPU
affinity of rx interrupts and application per TCP stream.
A flow steering filter is added to the HW whenever the RFS
ndo callback is invoked by core networking code.
Because the invocation takes place in interrupt context, the
actual setup of HW is done using workqueue. Whenever new filter
is added, the driver checks for expiry of existing filters.
Since there's window in time between the point where the core
RFS code invoked the ndo callback, to the point where the HW
is configured from the workqueue context, the 2nd, 3rd etc
packets from that stream will cause the net core to invoke
the callback again and again.
To prevent inefficient/double configuration of the HW, the filters
are kept in a database which is indexed using hash function to enable
fast access.

adding support for RSS to the PF.
The testing matrix gets to be very complex for this patch as there are a
number of different features and subsets for queueing options. I tried to
narrow these down a bit by restricting the PF to only supporting 4TC DCB
when it is enabled in addition to SR-IOV.

In ixgbevf_get_ringparam we could run into a NULL pointer dereference
if the rings were not allocated when we attempted the call. To prevent
that we can just access the tx/rx_ring_count values instead of attempting
to access the rings to get the count.
This change corrects a memory leak and memory corruption in
ixgbevf_set_ringparam.
The memory leak was due to us not freeing the resources from the ring
before overwriting them. This change corrects the memory leak by making
certain to call ixgbe_free_tx/rx_resources on the rings prior to freeing
them.
The memory corruption was because we were replacing the rings but not
updating the q_vectors. It addresses the memory corruption by leaving the
rings in place and instead just copying the contents of the new rings into
the existing rings.

When attaching a VLAN to a VF, frames with a 802.1q priority appeared
untagged on the VF hence not reaching the VLAN, where frames with

This seems due to the way ixgbevf is looking up the full tag

The usbnet API use the device ID table to store a pointer to
a minidriver. Setting a generic pointer for dynamic device
IDs will in most cases make them work as expected. usbnet
will otherwise treat the dynamic IDs as blacklisted. That is
rarely useful.
There is no standard class describing devices supported by
this driver, and most vendors don't even provide enough
information to allow vendor specific wildcard matching. The
result is that most of the supported devices must be
explicitly listed in the device table. Allowing dynamic IDs
to work both simplifies testing and verification of new
devices, and provides a way for end users to use a device
before the ID is added to the driver.
