Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-07-24

This series contains updates to igb, ixgbe, i40e and i40evf.

Mark fixes a possible attempt to dereference a NULL pointer in ixgbe_probe().
Also changes some uses of strncpy to strlcpy when clearing is not needed to
prevent information leakage.

Jacob fixes a bug in the misuse of the list_for_each macro to loop over
every entry in the bus_list.  Instead of attempting to loop over the list
from a random entry point, go up to the bus and use the real list_head
entry point.  This prevents the possible read or write of unallocated or
incorrectly addressed memory.  Then provides a patch to prevent the
display of the minimum link qualification check if we might be in a
virtual machine.  This check is incorrect and misleading in this case,
since we actually do not really know what the available bandwidth is.
To do so, we simply check whether each function on the bus matches our
device id.

Carolyn adds a check and prints the error cause register value when the
hardware detects a malformed packet to assist the user.

Toralf Förster fixes a format mismatch in i40e which was found using
cppcheck.

Shannon adds nvmupdate support by implementing a state machine intended
to support the userland tool for updating the device eeprom.

Jesse fixes the extension header checksum logic for IPv6 in i40e and
i40evf.

Mitch reduces a delay in the i40evf driver where we do not need to
delay an entire millisecond to get into our critical section.

Kamil fixes an issue where access to the NVM was being blocked until
a driver reset where a check for NVM related admin queue commands
would not recognize that such a command was received and would not clear
nvm_busy flag.

Catherine fixes a couple of firmware API version errors.

Give link a little more time to come back up after setting flow control
before resetting. In the new NVMs it is taking longer for link to come back.
This causes the driver to attempt to reset the link, which then errors
because the firmware was already in the middle of a reset. Also, initialize
err to 0.

The hardware design requires that the driver avoid indicating
checksum offload success on some ipv6 frames with extension
headers.

The code needs to just check for the IPV6EXADD bit and if
it is set punt the checksum to the stack.  I don't know why
the code was checking TCP on inner protocol, as that code
doesn't make any sense to me but seems wrong, so remove it.

This implements a state machine intended to support the userland tool for
updating the device eeprom. The state machine implements one-shot reads,
writes, multi-step write sessions, and checksum requests. If we're in the middle
of a multi-step write session, no one should fire off other writes, however, one
shot reads are valid. The userland tool is expected to keep track of its session
status, arrange the placement and ordering of the writes, and deal with the
checksum requirement.

This patch also adds nvmupdate support to ethtool callbacks.
The get_eeprom() and set_eeprom() services in ethtool are used here to
facilitate the userland NVMUpdate tool.  The 'magic' value in the get and
set commands is used to pass additional control information for managing
the read and write steps.

The read operation works both as normally expected in the standard ethtool
method, as well as with the extra NVM controls.  The write operation
works only for the expanded NVM functions - the normal ethtool method is
not allowed because of the NVM semaphore management needed for multipart
writes, as well as the checksum requirement.

Currently, although IP_MULTICAST_ALL and IP_MSFILTER ioctl calls succeed on
raw sockets, there is no code to implement the functionality on received
packets; it is only implemented for UDP sockets. The raw(7) man page states:
"In addition, all ip(7) IPPROTO_IP socket options valid for datagram sockets
are supported", which implies these ioctls should work on raw sockets.

To fix this, add a call to ip_mc_sf_allow on raw sockets.

This should not break any existing code, since the current position of
not calling ip_mc_sf_filter makes it behave as if neither the IP_MULTICAST_ALL
nor the IP_MSFILTER ioctl had been called. Adding the call to ip_mc_sf_allow
will therefore maintain the current behaviour so long as IP_MULTICAST_ALL and
IP_MSFILTER ioctls are not called. Any code that currently is calling
IP_MULTICAST_ALL or IP_MSFILTER ioctls on raw sockets presumably is wanting
the filter to be applied, although no filtering will currently be occurring.

rx busy polling support for virtio-net

This series introduces the support for rx busy polling support.  This
was useful for reducing the latency for a kvm guest.  Instead of
introducing new states and spinlocks, this series re-uses NAPI state
to synchonrize between NAPI and busy polling.  This grealy simplified
the codes and reduce the overheads of spinlocks for normal NAPI fast
path.

Test was done between a kvm guest and an external host.  Two hosts were
connected through 40gb mlx4 cards. With both busy_poll and  busy_read
are set to 50 in guest, 1 byte netperf tcp_rr shows 127% improvement:
transaction rate was increased from 8353.33 to 18966.87.

Changes from V2:
- Avoid introducing new states and spinlocks by reusuing the NAPI
  state
- Fix the budget calculation in virtnet_poll()
- Drop patch 1/3 from V2 since it was useless

Changes from V1:
- split the patch info smaller ones
- add more details about test setup/configuration

When timestamping received packets, rx_timestamp_work may be scheduled
before the timestamps is received from the hardware resulting in the
packet beeing delivered without the timestamp.

This is fixed by changing the receive timestamp path:

On receiving a packet that need timestamping, the rxts list is
traversed.  If a match is found, packet+timestamp are delivered,
otherwise the packet is added to a rx_queue.

When a timestamp arrives rx_queue is traversed and if a matching
packet is found, it is delivered with the timestamp. Otherwise the
timestamp is added to the rxts list for matching with packets arriving
later.

In case the hardware drops a timestamp, a workqueue regularly checks
the queue for old packets and delivers them without a timestamp.

When port is down dev_addr is changed (e.g. by bonding) but current_mac

but current_mac isn't. This leads to inconsistency between current_mac

current_mac in mac_hash.
