This change makes it so that we can use 1TC DCB in the case of MSI and
legacy interrupts. The advantage to this is that it allows us to fully
support FCoE w/ DCB instead of having to drop to link flow control only
when using these interrupt modes.

Do RAR entry accounting correctly so that errors are reported and
promisc mode is set correctly when the number of entries exceeds
the hardware limits.
This can happen with many macvlan devices attached to the PF or
by adding many fdb entries in SR-IOV modes.
Also this includes a small refactor to fdb_add() to avoid having so
many nested if/else statements after adding a check for the number
or RAR entries.
The max entries for the PF is currently 16 we allow 15 additional
entries to account for the defined MAC.

This change makes it so the function ixgbe_dcb_get_tc_from_up will use the
num_tcs.pg_tcs to determine the starting value for determining a traffic
class based on a user priority. The main motivation for this change is to
address possible bad configurations in which more TCs worth of data are
populated then there are actual TCs. By limiting this value we can at
least make certain we are not providing a map with values that are out of
range.
As a result any user priorities that are setup in the configuration with a
traffic class mapping higher than what the hardware supports will be
reported as being on TC 0.

The recent changes to netdev_alloc_skb actually make it so that the size of
the buffer now actually has a more direct input on the truesize. So in
order to make best use of the piece of a page we are allocated I am
reducing the IXGBE_RX_HDR_SIZE to 256 so that our truesize will be reduced
by 256 bytes as well.
This should result in performance improvements since the number of uses per
page should increase from 4 to 6 in the case of a 4K page. In addition we
should see socket performance improvements due to the truesize dropping
to less than 1K for buffers less than 256 bytes.

This change makes it so that we can use the atr_sample_rate to determine if
we are capable of supporting ATR. The advantage to this approach is that it
allows us to now determine the setting of the IXGBE_FLAG_FDIR_HASH_CAPABLE
based on the queueing scheme, instead of the queueing scheme being based on
the flag.
Using this approach there are essentially 5 conditions that must be checked
prior to trying to enable ATR:
1. Is SR-IOV disabled?
2. Are the number of TCs <= 1?
3. Is RSS queueing limit greater than 1?
4. Is atr_sample_rate set?
5. Is Flow Director perfect filtering disabled?
If any of these conditions are enabled they should disable ATR filtering.
Note that in the case of conditions 1 through 4 being met we will set
things up for ATR queueing, however if test 5 fails we will still leave the
queues allocated for use by perfect filters. The reason for this is to
allow for us to switch back and forth between ntuple and ATR without
needing to reallocate the descriptor rings.

This patch does two things. First it drops the unnecessary work of
searching for enabled VFs when we first bring up the adapter and instead
just uses pci_num_vf to determine how many VFs are enabled on the adapter.
The second thing it does is drop the use of vfdev from the vf_data_storage
structure. Instead we just search the entire system for a VF that has us
as it's PF, and then if that VF is assigned we indicate that the VFs are
assigned. This allows us to still check for assigned VFs even if the
vfinfo allocation has failed, or vfinfo has been freed.

This is meant to fix a bug in which we were not checking for pre-existing
VFs if we were not setting the max_vfs value at driver load. What happens
now is that we always call ixgbe_enable_sriov and this checks for
pre-existing VFs ore requested VFs prior to deciding on no SR-IOV.

This patch fixes a crash
tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel ->
sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock))
introduced by commit 1ab5ecb90cb6a3df1476e052f76a6e8f6511cb3d
The problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has
no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory
and optionally causes a crash.
sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that
"sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when
creating and closing tun devices.
This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs
sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use,
fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow.
It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke.

The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 hardware has support for one shot packet
transmission. This means that a packet will be attempted to be sent
once, with no automatic retries.
The SocketCAN core has a controller-wide setting for this mode:
CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT. The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 hardware supports this flag
on a per-packet level, but the SocketCAN core does not.

If the bus error quota is set to infinite and the host CPU cannot keep
up, the Janz VMOD-ICAN3 firmware will stop responding to control
messages until the controller is reset.
The firmware will automatically stop sending bus error messages when the
quota is reached, and will only resume sending bus error messages when
the quota is re-set to a positive value.
This limitation is worked around by setting the bus error quota to one
message, and then re-setting the quota to one message every time a bus
error message is received. By doing this, the firmware never stops
responding to control messages. The CAN bus can be reset without a
hard-reset of the controller card.

The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 firmware does not support any sort of TX-done
notification or interrupt. The driver previously used the hardware
loopback to attempt to work around this deficiency, but this caused all
sockets to receive all messages, even if CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS is off.
Using the new function ican3_cmp_echo_skb(), we can drop the loopback
messages and return the original skbs. This fixes the issues with
CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS.
A private skb queue is used to store the echo skbs. This avoids the need
for any index management.
Due to a lack of TX-error interrupts, bus errors are permanently
enabled, and are used as a TX-error notification. This is used to drop
an echo skb when transmission fails. Bus error packets are not generated
if the user has not enabled bus error reporting.

The error and byte counter statistics were being incremented
incorrectly. For example, a TX error would be counted both in tx_errors
and rx_errors.
This corrects the problem so that tx_errors and rx_errors are only
incremented for errors caused by packets sent to the bus. Error packets
generated by the driver are not counted.
The byte counters are only increased for packets which are actually
transmitted or received from the bus. Error packets generated by the
driver are not counted.

This patch adds support for a second clock to the flexcan driver. On
modern freescale ARM cores like the imx53 and imx6q two clocks ("ipg"
and "per") must be enabled in order to access the CAN core.
In the original driver, the clock was requested without specifying the
connection id, further all mainline ARM archs with flexcan support
(imx28, imx25, imx35) register their flexcan clock without a
connection id, too.
This patch first renames the existing clk variable to clk_ipg and
converts it to devm for easier error handling. The connection id "ipg"
is added to the devm_clk_get() call. Then a second clock "per" is
requested. As all archs don't specify a connection id, both clk_get
return the same clock. This ensures compatibility to existing flexcan
support and adds support for imx53 at the same time.
After this patch hits mainline, the archs may give their existing
flexcan clock the "ipg" connection id and implement a dummy "per"
clock.
This patch has been tested on imx28 (unmodified clk tree) and on imx53
with a seperate "ipg" and "per" clock.

Instead of only setting the FCOE segmentation offload and CRC offload flags
if we enable FCoE, we could just set them always since there are no
modifications needed to the hardware or adapter FCoE structure in order to
use these features.
The advantage to this is that if FCoE enablement fails, for example because
SR-IOV was enabled on 82599, we will still have use of the FCoE
segmentation offload and Tx/Rx CRC offloads which should still help to
improve the FCoE performance.

The current logic is enabling anti-spoof on all pools and then clearing
anti-spoof on just the first PF pool. The correct approach is to only set
anti-spoof on the VF pools and to leave all of the PF pools unchecked.
This allows for items such as FCoE to use adjacent pools within the PF for
transmit and receive queues without the traffic being blocked by this
security feature.

setting the FCoE SAN MAC MPSAR register to 0x1. This results in the first

This patch changes the behavior of the FCoE configuration so that it is
much closer to how the main body of the ixgbe driver works for ring
allocation.
The first piece is the ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_enable/disable calls. These allocate
the percpu values and if successful set the fcoe_ddp_xid value indicating
that we can support DDP.
The next piece is the ixgbe_setup/free_ddp_resources calls. These are
called on open/close and will allocate and free the DMA pools.
Finally ixgbe_configure_fcoe is now just register configuration. It can go
through and enable the registers for the FCoE redirection offload, and FIP
configuration without any interference from the DDP pool allocation.
The net result of all this is two fold. First it adds a certain amount of
exception handling. So for example if ixgbe_setup_fcoe_resources fails we
will actually generate an error in open and refuse to bring up the
interface.
Secondly it provides a much more graceful failure case than the previous
model which would skip setting up the registers for FCoE on failure to
allocate DDP resources leaving no Rx functionality enabled instead of just
disabling DDP.

This change merges the 2 statistics values for noddp and noddp_ext_buff
and the dma_pool into a single structure that can be allocated per CPU.
The advantages to this are several fold. First we only need to do one
alloc_percpu call now instead of 3, so that means less overhead for
handling memory allocation failures. Secondly in the case of
ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_setup we only need to call get_cpu once which makes things a
bit cleaner since we can drop a put_cpu() from the exception path.

The VF driver had a memory leak that would occur if VFs were assigned to a
guest. The amount of leak would vary with the number of VFs but could max
out at about 14K per PF. To reproduce the leak all you would need to do is
enable all the VFs on the first PF. Then start a loop of loading and
unloading the driver with max_vfs=63 for the first port.

This change makes it so that we can use the VMDq ring feature offset value
to determine the default pool instead of using num_vfs. The reason for
this change is to avoid issues should we fail to allocate vfinfo but have
pre-existing VFs. What should happen in this case is that num_vfs will go
to 0, but the VMDq offset will contain the location of the first PF pool.

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.

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.

Since commit 16626b0cc3d5afe250850f96759b241f8a403b52 the asix
driver depends on the phylib. Select phylib when the asix driver is
selected.

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.
