2014-03-22Revert "USBNET: ax88179_178a: enable tso if usb host supports sg dma"Mathias Nyman
commit 469d417b68958a064c09e7875646c97c6e783dfc upstream. This reverts commit 3804fad45411b48233b48003e33a78f290d227c8. This commit, together with commit 247bf557273dd775505fb9240d2d152f4f20d304 "xhci 1.0: Limit arbitrarily-aligned scatter gather." were origially added to get xHCI 1.0 hosts and usb ethernet ax88179_178a devices working together with scatter gather. xHCI 1.0 hosts pose some requirement on how transfer buffers are aligned, setting this requirement for 1.0 hosts caused USB 3.0 mass storage devices to fail more frequently. USB 3.0 mass storage devices used to work before 3.14-rc1. Theoretically, the TD fragment rules could have caused an occasional disk glitch. Now the devices *will* fail, instead of theoretically failing. >From a user perspective, this looks like a regression; the USB device obviously fails on 3.14-rc1, and may sometimes silently fail on prior kernels. The proper soluition is to implement the TD fragment rules for xHCI 1.0 hosts, but for now, revert this patch until scatter gather can be properly supported.

2014-02-26usbnet: remove generic hard_header_len checkEmil Goode
[ Upstream commit eb85569fe2d06c2fbf4de7b66c263ca095b397aa ] This patch removes a generic hard_header_len check from the usbnet module that is causing dropped packages under certain circumstances for devices that send rx packets that cross urb boundaries. One example is the AX88772B which occasionally send rx packets that cross urb boundaries where the remaining partial packet is sent with no hardware header. When the buffer with a partial packet is of less number of octets than the value of hard_header_len the buffer is discarded by the usbnet module. With AX88772B this can be reproduced by using ping with a packet size between 1965-1976. The bug has been reported here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29082 This patch introduces the following changes: - Removes the generic hard_header_len check in the rx_complete function in the usbnet module. - Introduces a ETH_HLEN check for skbs that are not cloned from within a rx_fixup callback. - For safety a hard_header_len check is added to each rx_fixup callback function that could be affected by this change. These extra checks could possibly be removed by someone who has the hardware to test. - Removes a call to dev_kfree_skb_any() and instead utilizes the dev->done list to queue skbs for cleanup. The changes place full responsibility on the rx_fixup callback functions that clone skbs to only pass valid skbs to the usbnet_skb_return function.

2014-02-26net: asix: add missing flag to struct driver_infoEmil Goode
[ Upstream commit d43ff4cd798911736fb39025ec8004284b1b0bc2 ] The struct driver_info ax88178_info is assigned the function asix_rx_fixup_common as it's rx_fixup callback. This means that FLAG_MULTI_PACKET must be set as this function is cloning the data and calling usbnet_skb_return. Not setting this flag leads to usbnet_skb_return beeing called a second time from within the rx_process function in the usbnet module.

2014-01-09dm9601: work around tx fifo sync issue on dm962xPeter Korsgaard
commit 4263c86dca5198da6bd3ad826d0b2304fbe25776 upstream. Certain dm962x revisions contain an bug, where if a USB bulk transfer retry (E.G. if bulk crc mismatch) happens right after a transfer with odd or maxpacket length, the internal tx hardware fifo gets out of sync causing the interface to stop working. Work around it by adding up to 3 bytes of padding to ensure this situation cannot trigger. This workaround also means we never pass multiple-of-maxpacket size skb's to usbnet, so the length adjustment to handle usbnet's padding of those can be removed.

[ Upstream commit 52f48d0d9aaa621ffa5e08d79da99a3f8c93b848 ] Since commit 7b0c5f21f348a66de495868b8df0284e8dfd6bbf "sierra_net: keep status interrupt URB active", sierra_net triggers status interrupt polling before the net_device is opened (in order to properly receive the sync message response).

Adding the device list from the Windows driver description files included with a new Qualcomm MDM9615 based device, "Alcatel-sbell ASB TL131 TDD LTE", from China Mobile. This device is tested and verified to work. The others are assumed to work based on using the same Windows driver. Many of these devices support multiple QMI/wwan ports, requiring multiple interface matching entries. All devices are composite, providing a mix of one or more serial, storage or Android Debug Brigde functions in addition to the wwan function.

This patch enables 'can_dma_sg' flag for ax88179_178a device if the attached host controller supports building packet from discontinuous buffers(DMA SG is possible), so TSO can be enabled and skb fragment buffers can be passed to usb stack via urb->sg directly. With the patch, system CPU utilization decreased ~50% and throughput increased by ~10% when doing iperf client test on one ARM A15 dual core board.

2013-08-12USBNET: support DMA SGMing Lei
This patch introduces support of DMA SG if the USB host controller which usbnet device is attached to is capable of building packet from discontinuous buffers. The patch supports passing the skb fragment buffers to usb stack directly via urb->sg.

2013-08-04ax88179_178a: avoid copy of tx tcp packetsEric Dumazet
ax88179_tx_fixup() has quite complex code trying to push 8 bytes of control data (len/mss), but fails to do it properly for TCP packets, incurring an extra copy and point of memory allocation failure. Lets use the simple and approved way. dev->needed_headroom being 8, all frames should have 8 bytes of headroom, so the extra copy should be unlikely anyway. This patch should improve performance for TCP xmits.
