This patch adds support to run Power On Self Test (POST) for 83xx adapters. POST can be run in 3 different speed modes : i) Fast mode (takes about 690 ms) ii) Medium mode (takes about 2930 ms) iii) Slow mode (takes about 7500 ms) To run POST, firmware file with name "83xx_post_fw.bin" should be present under /lib/firmware directory. load_fw_file module parameter is used to specify POST operation and its speed mode. load_fw_file = 2 : Fast mode load_fw_file = 3 : Medium mode load_fw_file = 4 : Slow mode Signed-off-by: Shahed Shaikh <shahed.shaikh@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-08-27 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Carolyn provides two patches, first changes the wording of the flow director add/remove and asynchronous failure messages to include the fd_id to try and add some way to track the operations on a given fd_id. Second adds a check during handle_link_event for unqualified modules when link is down and there is a module plugged in. Anjali provides four patches to i40e/i40evf. First update flow director messages so that a user can tell if a filter was added or deleted. Then updates the ATR policy to not auto-disable ATR when we have errors in programming. The disabling of ATR when we got programming errors was buggy and was still adding new rules and causing continuous errors. With this policy change, we flush instead when we see too many errors. In addition she adds a flow director flush counter to ethtool to help know how many times the interface had to flush and replay the flow director filter table. Updates the driver to ignores a driver perceived transmit hang if the number of descriptors pending is less than 4, and instead log a stat when this situation happens. This is because the queue progresses forward and the stack never experiences a real hang in these situations. Shannon provides three patches for i40e/i40evf, first enables the l2tsel bit on receive queue contexts that are assigned to VFs so that the VF can get the stripped VLAN tag. Then adds a max buffer size parameter to the print helper to be sure the code knows when to stop. Lastly, remove the complaint when removing the default MAC VLAN filter. This was because old firmware had an incorrect MAC VLAN filter that needed to be replaced at startup, and now newer firmware does not have this problem. So now we only add the new filter if the removal succeeded and no need to complain if the removal fails. Ashish provides a change to vsi->num_queue_pairs to equal the number that is configured by the VF. This limits the number of queues that are enabled/disabled and fixes the mismatch case for when a VF configures fewer queues than is allocated to it by the PF. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Florian Fainelli says: ==================== dsa: Broadcom Starfighter 2 switch support This patch series adds support for the Broadcom Starfighter 2 (Roboswitch successor) using the existing DSA infrastructure. This integrated switch is heavily used in Set Top Box, Cable gateways and DSL gateways products from Broadcom, and to a larger extent the new ARM-based Wi-Fi routers although slightly differently. Changes in v5 are the introduction of ETH_P_XDSA as suggested by Alexander to help capture applications see this is a multiplexed DSA approach now. Changes in v4 are the introducing of an indirection level for DSA switch tag protocols receive and transmit functions. I intentionnaly did not address one comment from Alexander who suggested to move port_names and port_dn in a separate structure since that involves touching arch/arm/ and arch/blackfin/ code which I am not yet comfortable doing. Notable changes in v3 is the preliminary patch that reworks the skb->protocol override helpers for non-Ethertype switch tags, based on feedback from Alexander Duyck. The biggest changes from v1 of this patch series are: - use the new fixed PHY helpers - improved the switch driver with more complete features (interrupts, (RG)MII configuration, memory arrays power down/up, port disabling/enable VLAN separation Future work will focus on bringing the upstream driver in feature parity with the current downstream driver, including: - adding Wake-on-LAN support to the switch - adding suspend/resume callbacks for S2/S3 Power Management modes - extending the switch register interface to cover BCM5310X SoCs ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-08-27i40e: quiet complaints when removing default MAC VLAN filter and make ↵Shannon Nelson
set_mac reversible Older firmware has an incorrect MAC VLAN filter that needs to be replaced at startup, and now newer firmware doesn't have this problem. With this change we no longer complain if the remove fails, and we only add the new filter if the remove succeeded. Setting a new LAA worked the first time, but didn't work well in successive operations, including returning to the HW default address. This simplifies the code that was trying to be too smart. Lastly, this pulls the hardware default mac address out into separate handling code and keeps the broadcast filtering from getting munged.

2014-08-27i40e/i40evf: add max buf len to aq debug print helperShannon Nelson
There is at least one case in the Firmware API where the response to a command changes the buffer size field in the AQ descriptor to a larger number than what the request's buffer size started as. This is in addition to setting an error flag and is in order to tell the requester how much larger a buffer is required for the answer. We need to be sure not to use that number when dumping the contents of the data buffer because it can send us into the weeds and generate an invalid pointer exception. This patch adds a max buffer size parameter to the print helper to be sure the code knows when to stop.

If we still have too many errors and ATR filter count did not change much, its time to flush and replay. We no more auto-disable ATR when we have errors in programming. The disabling of ATR when we get programming error was buggy and was still adding new rules and causing continuous errors. With this policy change we flush instead when we see too many errors. ATR is still disabled if we add a SB rule for TCP/IPv4 flow type, more logic is added to re-enable it once all SB TCP/IPv4 rules are gone.

In between, netdev nofifier is called and team_device_event() sees IFF_TEAM_PORT and thinks that rx_handler_data pointer is set to team_port. But it isn't.

2014-08-25net: Remove ndo_xmit_flush netdev operation, use signalling instead.David S. Miller
As reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer, for high packet rates the overhead of having another indirect call in the TX path is non-trivial. There is the indirect call itself, and then there is all of the reloading of the state to refetch the tail pointer value and then write the device register. Move to a more passive scheme, which requires very light modifications to the device drivers. The signal is a new skb->xmit_more value, if it is non-zero it means that more SKBs are pending to be transmitted on the same queue as the current SKB. And therefore, the driver may elide the tail pointer update. Right now skb->xmit_more is always zero. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
