This patch removes KR PHY reset from ixgbe_init_phy_ops_x550em, since this function is meant to initialize function pointers for the detected PHY type. Internal PHY reset was moved to ixgbe_setup_internal_phy_t_x550em which will now detect which mode the internal PHY operates in and set it up as required.

If tcp_send_ack() can not allocate skb, we properly handle this and setup a timer to try later. Use __GFP_NOWARN to avoid polluting syslog in the case host is under memory pressure, so that pertinent messages are not lost under a flood of useless information. sk_gfp_atomic() can use its gfp_mask argument (all callers currently were using GFP_ATOMIC before this patch) We rename sk_gfp_atomic() to sk_gfp_mask() to clearly express this function now takes into account its second argument (gfp_mask) Note that when tcp_transmit_skb() is called with clone_it set to false, we do not attempt memory allocations, so can pass a 0 gfp_mask, which most compilers can emit faster than a non zero or constant value.

Merge branch 'hv_netvsc-less-headroom' K. Y. Srinivasan says: ==================== hv_netvsc: Eliminate the additional head room In an attempt to avoid having to allocate memory on the send path, the netvsc driver was requesting additional head room so that both rndis header and the netvsc packet (the state that had to persist) could be placed in the skb. Since the amount of head room requested was exceeding the default head room as set in LL_MAX_HEADER, we were forcing a reallocation of skb. With this patch-set, I have reduced the size of the netvsc packet to less than 20 bytes and with this reduction we don't need to ask for any additional headroom. We place the rndis header in the skb head room and we place the netvsc packet in control buffer area in the skb. V2: - Addressed review comments: - Eliminated more fields from netvsc packet structure. V3: - Fixed a typo in patch: hv_netvsc: Don't ask for additional head room in the skb. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The rndis header is 116 bytes big and can be placed in the default head room that will be available in the skb. Since the netvsc packet is less than 48 bytes, we can use the skb control buffer for the netvsc packet. With these changes we don't need to ask for additional head room. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-01 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only. Helin adds new fields to i40e_vsi to store user configured RSS config data and the code to use it. Also renamed RSS items to clarify functionality and scope to users. Fixed a confusing kernel message of enabling RSS size by reporting it together with the hardware maximum RSS size. Anjali fixes the issue of forcing writeback too often causing us to not benefit from NAPI. Jesse adds a prefetch for data early in the transmit path to help immensely for pktgen and forwarding workloads. Fixed the i40e driver that was possibly sleeping inside critical section of code. Carolyn fixes an issue where adminq init failures always provided a message that NVM was newer than expected, when this is not always the case for init_adminq failures. Fixed by adding a check for that specific error condition and a different helpful message otherwise. Mitch fixes error message by telling the user which VF is being naughty, rather than making them guess. Updated the queue_vector array from a statically-sized member of the adapter structure, to a dynamically-allocated and -sized array. This reduces the size of the adapter structure and allows us to support any number of queue vectors in the future without changing the code. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The driver was being called by VLAN, bonding, teaming operations that expected to be able to hold locks like rcu_read_lock(). This causes the driver to be held to the requirement to not sleep, and was found by the kernel debug options for checking sleep inside critical section, and the locking validator.

Instead of awkwardly keeping a fixed array of pointers in the adapter struct and then allocating ring structs individually, just keep a single pointer and allocate a single blob for the arrays. This simplifies code, shrinks the adapter structure, and future-proofs the driver by not limiting the number of rings we can handle.

If, upon a midnight dreary, the PF returns ERR_PARAM when the VF is requesting resources, that's fatal. Either the firmware or NVM is badly, badly misconfigured, or this VF has been disabled due to a previous VF driver sending a bunch of bogus messages. Either way, there is no recovery from this. Don't ponder weak and weary, just quit.

This patch fixes an issue where adminq init failures always provided a message that NVM was newer than expected. This is not always the case for init_adminq failures. Without this patch, if adminq init fails for any reason, newer NVM message would be given. This problem is fixed by adding a check for that specific error condition and a different hopefully helpful message otherwise.

This patch fixes the issue of forcing WB too often causing us to not benefit from NAPI. Without this patch we were forcing WB/arming interrupt too often taking away the benefits of NAPI and causing a performance impact. With this patch we disable force WB in the clean routine for X710 and XL710 adapters. X722 adapters do not enable interrupt to force a WB and benefit from WB_ON_ITR and hence force WB is left enabled for those adapters. For XL710 and X710 adapters if we have less than 4 packets pending a software Interrupt triggered from service task will force a WB. This patch also changes the conditions for setting RS bit as described in code comments. This optimizes when the HW does a tail bump amd when it does a WB. It also optimizes when we do a wmb.
