Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to ixgbevf, ixgbe and igb. Don provides 3 patches for ixgbevf where he cleans up a redundant read mailbox failure check, adds a new function to wait for receive queues to be disabled before disabling NAPI, and move the API negotiation so that it occurs in the reset path. This will allow the PF to be informed of the API version earlier. Jacob provides a ixgbevf and ixgbe patch. His ixgbevf patch removes the use of hw_dbg when the ixgbe_get_regs function is called in ethtool. The ixgbe patch renames the LL_EXTENDED_STATS and some of the functions required to implement busy polling in order to remove the marketing "low latency" blurb which hides what the code actually does. Leonardo provides a ixgbe patch to add support for DCB registers dump using ethtool for 82599 and x540 ethernet controllers. I (Jeff) provide a ixgbe patch to cleanup whitespace issues seen in a code review. Todd provides for igb to add support for i354 in the ethtool offline tests. Laura provides an igb patch to add the ethtool callbacks necessary to configure the number of RSS queues. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch renames the LL_EXTENDED_STATS and some of the functions required to implement busy polling in the ixgbe driver, in order to remove the marketing "low latency" blurb which hides what the code actually does. This furthers work which was requested by Linus Torvalds when the initial busy poll code was included in the kernel. The code in the ixgbe driver itself was never properly renamed to reflect the change to busy polling as the title.

After this patch the API negotiation will occur in the reset path. So now the PF will be informed of the API version earlier. This will also require the mailbox lock to be initialize sooner as well.

New function was added to wait for Rx queues to be disabled before disabling NAPI. This function also allows us to modify ixgbevf_rx_desc_queue_enable() to better match ixgbe. I also cleaned up some msleep calls to usleep_range while I was in this code anyway.

Since we are already checking for read failure in check_link we don't need to do it here. Instead just make sure the watchdog task gets scheduled, if we are up, and it can be done there. This will better follow igbvf method of handling a mailbox event and message timeout.

The current EQ delay calculation for AIC is based only on RX packet rate. This fails to be effective when there's only TX and no RX. This patch inclues: - Calculating EQ-delay based on both RX and TX pps. - Modifying EQ-delay of all EQs via one cmd, instead of issuing a separate cmd for each EQ. - A new structure to store interrupt coalescing parameters, in a separate cache-line from the EQ-obj.

On BE3-R 1G ports (identified by port numbers 2 and 3) the FW cannot properly support multiple TXQs.

There was a bug that netback routines netbk/xenvif_skb_count_slots and netbk/xenvif_gop_frag_copy disagreed with each other, which caused netback to push wrong number of responses to netfront, which caused netfront to eventually crash. The bug was fixed in 6e43fc04 ("xen-netback: count number required slots for an skb more carefully"). Commit 6e43fc04 focused on backport-ability. The drawback with the existing packing scheme is that the ring is not used effeciently, as stated in 6e43fc04. skb->data like: | 1111|222222222222|3333 | is arranged as: |1111 |222222222222|3333 | If we can do this: |111122222222|22223333 | That would save one ring slot, which improves ring effeciency. This patch effectively reverts 6e43fc04. That patch made count_slots agree with gop_frag_copy, while this patch goes the other way around -- make gop_frag_copy agree with count_slots. The end result is that they still agree with each other, and the ring is now arranged like: |111122222222|22223333 | The patch that improves packing was first posted by Xi Xong and Matt Wilson. I only rebase it on top of net-next and rewrite commit message, so I retain all their SoBs. For more infomation about the original bug please refer to email listed below and commit message of 6e43fc04.

Conflicts: include/net/xfrm.h Simple conflict between Joe Perches "extern" removal for function declarations in header files and the changes in Steffen's tree. Steffen Klassert says: ==================== Two patches that are left from the last development cycle. Manual merging of include/net/xfrm.h is needed. The conflict can be solved as it is currently done in linux-next. 1) We announce the creation of temporary acquire state via an asyc event, so the deletion should be annunced too. From Nicolas Dichtel. 2) The VTI tunnels do not real tunning, they just provide a routable IPsec tunnel interface. So introduce and use xfrm_tunnel_notifier instead of xfrm_tunnel for xfrm tunnel mode callback. From Fan Du. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When flags IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI are changed, netlink messages are not consistent. For example, if a multicast daemon is running (flag IFF_ALLMULTI set in dev->flags but not dev->gflags, ie not exported to userspace) and then a user sets it via netlink (flag IFF_ALLMULTI set in dev->flags and dev->gflags, ie exported to userspace), no netlink message is sent. Same for IFF_PROMISC and because dev->promiscuity is exported via IFLA_PROMISCUITY, we may send a netlink message after each change of this counter.
