Michael Chan b54345ea32 cnic: Simplify cnic_release().
Since unregister_netdevice_notifier() will replay the NETDEV_DOWN and
NETDEV_UNREGISTER_EVENTS, the cnic_dev_list will be cleaned up automatically.
The loop to cleanup the cnic_dev_list can be removed in cnic_release().

Michael Chan 415fb87da8 cnic: Simplify netdev events handling.
After this earlier commit to simplify probing:

    commit 4bd9b0fffb
    cnic, bnx2x, bnx2: Simplify cnic probing.

we can now reliably receive netdev events and we can simplify the handling
of these events.  We now remove the logic that tries to handle missed
NETDEV_REGISTER events.

This change will allow cleanup to be simplified in the next patch.  We can
now rely on the play back of netdev events during
unregister_netdevice_notifier() to cleanup the structures.

Yevgeny Petrilin fe6f700d6c net/mlx4_core: Respond to operation request by firmware
This commit adds new firmware command and new firmware event.  The firmware
raises the MLX4_EVENT_TYPE_OP_REQUIRED event in order to signal the driver it
needs to perform an administrative operation throughout the MLX4_CMD_GET_OP_REQ
command. At the moment the supported operation is adding/removing multicast
entries which are used by the firmware for handling NCSI traffic in B0
steering mode.

Also, had to swap the order of mlx4_init_mcg_table() and
mlx4_init_eq_table() to make sure that driver will get events only after
resources are initialized to handle it.

Eugenia Emantayev 2d4b646613 net/mlx4_en: Fix BlueFlame race
Fix a race between BlueFlame flow and stamping in post send flow.
Example:
	SW: Build WQE 0 on the TX buffer, except the ownership bit
	SW: Set ownership for WQE 0 on the TX buffer
	SW: Ring doorbell for WQE 0
	SW: Build WQE 1 on the TX buffer, except the ownership bit
	SW: Set ownership for WQE 1 on the TX buffer
	HW: Read WQE 0 and then WQE 1, before doorbell was rung/BF was done for WQE 1
	HW: Produce CQEs for WQE 0 and WQE 1
	SW: Process the CQEs, and stamp WQE 0 and WQE 1 accordingly (on the TX buffer)
	SW: Copy WQE 1 from the TX buffer to the BF register - ALREADY STAMPED!
	HW: CQE error with index 0xFFFF  - the BF WQE's control segment is STAMPED,
		so the BF index is 0xFFFF. Error: Invalid Opcode.
As a result QP enters the error state and no traffic can be sent.

Solution:
When stamping - do not stamp last completed wqe.

David S. Miller 34d073fcd3 Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next
Jeff Kirsher says:

====================
This series contains updates to e100 and e1000e.

The e100 patch from Andy simply updates the netif_printk() to use
%*ph to dump small buffers.

The changes to e1000e include a fix from Dean Nelson to resolve a
issue where a pci_clear_master() was accidentally dropped during a
conflict resolution. Wei Young provides 2 patches, one removes an
assignment of the default ring size because it was a duplicate. The
second changes the packet split receive structure to use
PS_PAGE_BUFFERS macro for the length so that problems won't occur
when the length is changed.

The remaining patches for e1000e are from Bruce Allan, where he
provides a number of fixes and updates for I218.  In addition, a
fix for 82583 which can disappear off the PCIe bus, to resolve this,
disable ASPM L1.  Bruce also provides a fix to a previous commit
(commit e60b22c5b7 e1000e: fix accessing to suspended device) so that
devices are only taken out of runtime power management for those
ethtool operations that must access device registers.

Bruce Allan 3ef672ab18 e1000e: ethtool unnecessarily takes device out of RPM suspend
A previous patch (commit e60b22c5b7 e1000e: fix accessing to suspended
device) added .begin and .complete ethtool driver callbacks so that the
device was resumed from Runtime Power Management (RPM) suspend state for
all ethtool operations.  This is overkill for operations which do not need
to access any registers in the device.  This patch makes it so that the
device is taken out of RPM suspend only for those ethtool operations that
must access device registers.

Bruce Allan e0236ad9cd e1000e: Tx hang on I218 when linked at 100Half and slow response at 10Mbps
Tx hang is an unintended consequence of another workaround that is in the
EEPROM for an issue with the firmware at 10Mbps when K1 (a power mode of
the MAC-PHY interconnect) is enabled.  The issue is resolved by setting
appropriate Tx re-transmission timeouts in the PHY and associated K1 entry
times in the MAC to allow enough transmissions to occur without triggering
a Tx hang.  A similar change is needed when linked at 10Mbps to improve
latency.

Ming Lei a88c32ae15 USBNET: centralize computing of max rx/tx qlen
This patch centralizes computing of max rx/tx qlen, because:

- RX_QLEN()/TX_QLEN() is called in hot path
- computing depends on device's usb speed, now we have ls/fs, hs, ss,
so more checks need to be involved
- in fact, max rx/tx qlen should not only depend on device USB
speed, but also depend on ethernet link speed, so we need to
consider that in future.
- if SG support is done, max tx qlen may need change too

Generally, hard_mtu and rx_urb_size are changed in bind(), reset()
and link_reset() callback, and change mtu network operation, this
patches introduces the API of usbnet_update_max_qlen(), and calls
it in above path.

vlan_insert_tag() for 802.1ad and 802.1q traffic.

pktgen test shows about 20% improvement for 802.1q traffic:

Darren Hart f1a26fdf59 pch_gbe: Add MinnowBoard support
The MinnowBoard uses an AR803x PHY with the PCH GBE which requires
special handling. Use the MinnowBoard PCI Subsystem ID to detect this
and add a pci_device_id.driver_data structure and functions to handle
platform setup.

The AR803x does not implement the RGMII 2ns TX clock delay in the trace
routing nor via strapping. Add a detection method for the board and the
PHY and enable the TX clock delay via the registers.

This PHY will hibernate without link for 10 seconds. Ensure the PHY is
awake for probe and then disable hibernation. A future improvement would
be to convert pch_gbe to using PHYLIB and making sure we can wake the
PHY at the necessary times rather than permanently disabling it.

might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little
performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted :

Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not
necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room
for the application to queue more bytes)

For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give
applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time
(or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg())

This patch adds two ways to set the limit :

1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT

2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets
not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value)
Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect.

This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT
only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat

Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls
when using non blocking sockets,
and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets.

Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is
defined as :
 Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until
 the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol)

Tested:

netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP

With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory
used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458)

lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols
TCPv6     1880      2   45458   no     208   yes  ipv6        y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  n  y  y  y  y  y
TCP       1696    508   45458   no     208   yes  kernel      y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  n  y  y  y  y  y

lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols
TCPv6     1880      2   20567   no     208   yes  ipv6        y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  n  y  y  y  y  y
TCP       1696    508   20567   no     208   yes  kernel      y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  y  n  y  y  y  y  y

Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage
of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches.

A bonus is that we hold socket lock for a shorter amount
of time and should improve latencies of ACK processing.

Eric Dumazet 64dc61306c net: add sk_stream_is_writeable() helper
Several call sites use the hardcoded following condition :

sk_stream_wspace(sk) >= sk_stream_min_wspace(sk)

Lets use a helper because TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT support will change this
condition for TCP sockets.

The slave_xxx_netpoll will call synchronize_rcu_bh(),
so the function may schedule and sleep, it should't be
called under spinlocks.

bond_netpoll_setup() and bond_netpoll_cleanup() are always
protected by rtnl lock, it is no need to take the read lock,
as the slave list couldn't be changed outside rtnl lock.
