The ptp pin function programming does not allow calibration pin to change

Removing this limitation does not impact calibration if userspace does not

bnx2x: Enhancement patch series

This patch series introduces the ability to propagate link parameters
to VFs as well as control the VF link via hypervisor.

In addition, it contains 2 small improvements [one IOV-related and the
other improves performance on machines with short cache lines].

There are linux distributions where the inbox bnx2x driver contains SRIOV
support but doesn't contain the changes introduced in b9871bcf
"bnx2x: VF RSS support - PF side".

A VF in a VM running that distribution over a new hypervisor will access
incorrect addresses when trying to transmit packets, causing an attention
in the hypervisor and making that VF inactive until FLRed.

The driver in the VM has to ne upgraded [no real way to overcome this], but
due to the HW attention currently arising upgrading the driver in the VM
would not suffice [since the VF needs also be FLRed if the previous driver
was already loaded].

This patch causes the PF to fail the acquire message from a VF running an
old problematic driver; The VF will then gracefully fail it's probe preventing
the HW attention [and allow clean upgrade of driver in VM].

====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The if_lock()/if_unlock() in next_to_run() adds a significant
overhead, because its called for every packet in busy loop of
pktgen_thread_worker().  (Thomas Graf originally pointed me
at this lock problem).

Removing these two "LOCK" operations should in theory save us approx
16ns (8ns x 2), as illustrated below we do save 16ns when removing
the locks and introducing RCU protection.

Performance data with CLONE_SKB==100000, TX-size=512, rx-usecs=30:
 (single CPU performance, ixgbe 10Gbit/s, E5-2630)
 * Prev   : 5684009 pps --> 175.93ns (1/5684009*10^9)
 * RCU-fix: 6272204 pps --> 159.43ns (1/6272204*10^9)
 * Diff   : +588195 pps --> -16.50ns

To understand this RCU patch, I describe the pktgen thread model
below.

In pktgen there is several kernel threads, but there is only one CPU
running each kernel thread.  Communication with the kernel threads are
done through some thread control flags.  This allow the thread to
change data structures at a know synchronization point, see main
thread func pktgen_thread_worker().

Userspace changes are communicated through proc-file writes.  There
are three types of changes, general control changes "pgctrl"
(func:pgctrl_write), thread changes "kpktgend_X"
(func:pktgen_thread_write), and interface config changes "etcX@N"
(func:pktgen_if_write).

Userspace "pgctrl" and "thread" changes are synchronized via the mutex
pktgen_thread_lock, thus only a single userspace instance can run.
The mutex is taken while the packet generator is running, by pgctrl
"start".  Thus e.g. "add_device" cannot be invoked when pktgen is
running/started.

All "pgctrl" and all "thread" changes, except thread "add_device",
communicate via the thread control flags.  The main problem is the
exception "add_device", that modifies threads "if_list" directly.

Fortunately "add_device" cannot be invoked while pktgen is running.
But there exists a race between "rem_device_all" and "add_device"
(which normally don't occur, because "rem_device_all" waits 125ms
before returning). Background'ing "rem_device_all" and running
"add_device" immediately allow the race to occur.

The race affects the threads (list of devices) "if_list".  The if_lock
is used for protecting this "if_list".  Other readers are given
lock-free access to the list under RCU read sections.

Note, interface config changes (via proc) can occur while pktgen is
running, which worries me a bit.  I'm assuming proc_remove() takes
appropriate locks, to assure no writers exists after proc_remove()
finish.

I've been running a script exercising the race condition (leading me
to fix the proc_remove order), without any issues.  The script also
exercises concurrent proc writes, while the interface config is
getting removed.

Avoid calling set_current_state() inside the busy-loop in
pktgen_thread_worker().  In case of pkt_dev->delay, then it is still
used/enabled in pktgen_xmit() via the spin() call.

The set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) uses a xchg, which implicit
is LOCK prefixed.  I've measured the asm LOCK operation to take approx
8ns on this E5-2630 CPU.  Performance increase corrolate with this
measurement.

Using pktgen I'm seeing the ixgbe driver "push-back", due TX ring
running full.  Thus, the TX ring is artificially limiting pktgen.
(Diagnose via "ethtool -S", look for "tx_restart_queue" or "tx_busy"
counters.)

Using ixgbe, the real reason behind the TX ring running full, is due
to TX ring not being cleaned up fast enough. The ixgbe driver combines
TX+RX ring cleanups, and the cleanup interval is affected by the
ethtool --coalesce setting of parameter "rx-usecs".

Do not increase the default NIC TX ring buffer or default cleanup
interval.  Instead simply document that pktgen needs special NIC
tuning for maximum packet per sec performance.

Performance results with pktgen with clone_skb=100000.
TX ring size 512 (default), adjusting "rx-usecs":

Notice after commit 6f25cd47 (pktgen: fix xmit test for BQL enabled
devices) pktgen uses netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped() and ignores
the BQL "stack" pause (QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF) flag.  This allow us to put
more pressure on the TX ring buffers.

It is the ixgbe_maybe_stop_tx() call that stops the transmits, and
pktgen respecting this in the call to netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped(txq).

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-06-26

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.

Kamil provides a cleanup patch to i40e where we do not need to acquire the
NVM for shadow RAM checksum calculation, since we only read the shadow RAM
through SRCTL register.

Paul provides a fix for handling HMC for big endian architectures for i40e
and i40evf.

Mitch provides four cleanup and fixes for i40evf.  Fix an issue where if
the VF driver fails to complete early init, then rmmod can cause a softlock
when the driver tries to stop a watchdog timer that never got initialized.
So add a check to see if the timer is actually initialized before stopping
it.  Make the function i40evf_send_api_ver() return more useful information,
instead of just returning -EIO by propagating firmware errors back to the
caller and log a message if the PF sends an invalid reply.  Fix up a log
message that was missing a word, which makes the log message more readable.
Fix an initialization failure if many VFs are instantiated at the same time
and the VF module is autoloaded by simply resending firmware request if
there is no response the first time.

Jacob does a rename of the function i40e_ptp_enable() to
i40e_ptp_feature_enable(), like he did for ixgbe, to reduce possible
confusion and ambugity in the purpose of the function.  Does follow on
PTP work on i40e, like he did for ixgbe, by breaking the PTP hardware
control from the ioctl command for timestamping mode.  By doing this,
we can maintain state about the 1588 timestamping mode and properly
re-enable to the last known mode during a re-initialization of 1588 bits.

Anjali cleans up the i40e driver where TCP-IPv4 filters were being added
twice, which seems to be left over from when we had to add two PTYPEs for
one filter.  Fixes the flow director sideband logic to detect when there
is a full flow director table.  Also fixes the programming of FDIR where
a couple of fields in the descriptor setup that were not being
programmed, which left the opportunity for stale data to be pushed as
part of the descriptor next time it was used.

tipc: new unicast transmission code

As a step towards making the data transmission code more maintainable
and performant, we introduce a number of new functions, both for

eventually be used for alla data transmission, user data unicast,
service internal messaging, and multicast/broadcast.

We start with this series, where we introduce the functions, and
let user data unicast and the internal connection protocol use them.
The remaining users will come in a later series.

There are only minor changes to data structures, and no protocol
changes, so the older functions can still be used in parallel for
some time. Until the old functions are removed, we use temporary
names for the new functions, such as tipc_build_msg2, tipc_link_xmit2.

As a consequence of the recently introduced serialized access
to the socket in commit 8d94168a761819d10252bab1f8de6d7b202c3baa
("tipc: same receive code path for connection protocol and data
messages") we can make a number of simplifications in the
detection and handling of connection congestion situations.

- We don't need to keep two counters, one for sent messages and one
  for acked messages. There is no longer any risk for races between
  acknowledge messages arriving in BH and data message sending
  running in user context. So we merge this into one counter,
  'sent_unacked', which is incremented at sending and subtracted
  from at acknowledge reception.

- We don't need to set the 'congested' field in tipc_port to
  true before we sent the message, and clear it when sending
  is successful. (As a matter of fact, it was never necessary;
  the field was set in link_schedule_port() before any wakeup
  could arrive anyway.)

- We keep the conditions for link congestion and connection connection
  congestion separated. There would otherwise be a risk that an arriving
  acknowledge message may wake up a user sleeping because of link
  congestion.

- We can simplify reception of acknowledge messages.

We also make some cosmetic/structural changes:

- We rename the 'congested' field to the more correct 'link_cong´.

- We rename 'conn_unacked' to 'rcv_unacked'

- We move the above mentioned fields from struct tipc_port to
  struct tipc_sock.

We simplify the code for receiving connection probes, leveraging the

the principle of sending a possible response message directly from
the calling (tipc_sk_rcv or backlog_rcv) functions, hence making
the call chain shallower and easier to follow.

We make one small protocol change here, allowed according to
the spec. If a protocol message arrives from a remote socket that
is not the one we are connected to, we are currently generating a
connection abort message and send it to the source. This behavior
is unnecessary, and might even be a security risk, so instead we
now choose to only ignore the message. The consequnce for the sender
is that he will need longer time to discover his mistake (until the
next timeout), but this is an extreme corner case, and may happen
anyway under other circumstances, so we deem this change acceptable.
