Eric Dumazet 9d21493b4b net: tx scalability works : trans_start
struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance
devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties
it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks.

But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock
a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes
sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update
will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for
free.

We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to
update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start.

Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in 
netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind)

Eric Dumazet d62fda082c bnx2: bnx2_tx_int() optimizations
When using bnx2 in a high transmit load, bnx2_tx_int() cost is pretty high.

There are two reasons.

One is an expensive call to bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) for each freed skb

One is cpu stalls when accessing skb_is_gso(skb) / skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags
because of two cache line misses.
(One to get skb->end/head to compute skb_shinfo(skb),
 one to get is_gso/nr_frags)

This patch :

1) avoids calling bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) too many times.

2) makes bnx2_start_xmit() cache is_gso & nr_frags into sw_tx_bd descriptor.
   This uses a litle bit more ram (256 longs per device on x86), but helps a lot.

3) uses a prefetch(&skb->end) to speedup dev_kfree_skb(), bringing
  cache line that will be needed in skb_release_data()

result is 5 % bandwidth increase in benchmarks, involving UDP or TCP receive
 & transmits, when a cpu is dedicated to ksoftirqd for bnx2.

bnx2_tx_int going from 3.33 % cpu to 0.5 % cpu in oprofile

Note : skb_dma_unmap() still very expensive but this is for another patch,
not related to bnx2 (2.9 % of cpu, while it does nothing on x86_32)

Chris Friesen 2513dfb83f ipconfig: handle case of delayed DHCP server
If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the 
DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from 
a second interface.  The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the 
second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and 
rejects the request.

This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws 
away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device.  A more 
sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the 
struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

This patch implements the FCoE Rx side offload feature in ixgbe_main.c
to 82599 using the Rx offload infrastructure code added in the previous
patch. The large receive offload by Direct Data Placement (DDP) for
FCoE is achieved by implementing the ndo_fcoe_ddp_setup and ndo_fcoe_ddp_done
in net_device_ops via netdev. It is up to the ULD, i.e., fcoe and libfc
to query and setup large receive offload accordingly through the corresponding
netdev upon creating fcoe instances.

Linus Torvalds 0f6f49a8cd Fix caller information for warn_slowpath_null
Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with
gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2db) all
WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg:

  WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20()

because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the
__builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that
caused the warning.

Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently,
using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the
right place.  This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for
the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up.

Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

Tejun Heo 36999a5af1 ide-tape: remove back-to-back REQUEST_SENSE detection
Impact: fix an oops which always triggers

ide_tape_issue_pc() assumed drive->pc isn't NULL on invocation when
checking for back-to-back request sense issues but drive->pc can be
NULL and even when it's not NULL, it's not safe to dereference it once
the previous command is complete because pc could have been freed or
was on stack.  Kill back-to-back REQUEST_SENSE detection.

Len Brown a0bf284bfe ACPI: Idle C-states disabled by max_cstate should not disable the TSC
Processor idle power states C2 and C3 stop the TSC on many machines.
Linux recognizes this situation and marks the TSC as unstable:

Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle

But if those same machines are booted with "processor.max_cstate=1",
then there is no need to validate C2 and C3, and no need to
disable the TSC, which can be reliably used as a clocksource.

Len Brown 520daf7217 ACPI: idle: fix init-time TSC check regression
A previous 2.6.30 patch, a71e4917dc,
(ACPI: idle: mark_tsc_unstable() at init-time, not run-time)
erroneously disabled the TSC on systems that did not actually
have valid deep C-states.

Move the check after the deep-C-states are validated,
via new helper, tsc_check_state(), hich replaces tsc_halts_in_c().
