If a 5717 or 5719 NVRAM part is manually strapped and is 2mb in size, the driver needs to look at the NVRAM size field rather than infer it from the strapping itself.

Hardcoded values are used in multiple places to describe the maximum rx ring sizes. This patch replaces those values with preprocessor constants. This patch also introduces a new TG3_FLG3_LRG_PROD_RING_CAP to determine if the device is capable of supporting larger ring sizes.

The ethtool ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID command runs for an arbitrarily long period of time, holding the RTNL lock. This blocks routing updates, device enumeration, and various important operations that one might want to keep running while hunting for the flashing LED. We need to drop the RTNL lock during this operation, but currently the core implementation is a thin wrapper around a driver operation and drivers may well depend upon holding the lock. Define a new driver operation 'set_phys_id' with an argument that sets the ID indicator on/off/inactive/active (the last optional, for any driver or firmware that prefers to handle blinking asynchronously). When this is defined, the ethtool core drops the lock while waiting and only acquires it around calls to this operation. Deprecate the 'phys_id' operation in favour of this. It can be removed once all in-tree drivers are converted. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

Briefly document all operations (except get_rx_ntuple), including whether they may return an error code and whether they are deprecated. Also mention some things that should be handled by the ethtool core rather than by drivers. Briefly document general requirements for callers. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is configurable per device using ethtool. Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case the no cache copy is probably not beneficial. This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with 1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86. No-cache copy disabled: 672703 tps, 97.13% utilization 50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41 No-cache copy enabled: 702113 tps, 96.16% utilization, 50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955 Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the effects more dramatically: No-cache copy disabled: 79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization 50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76 No-cache copy enabled: 83856 tps, 34.81% utilization 50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88 Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile). This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard. * Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl * Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul. Note: 1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are set as independant operations. 2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay 3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act as hub or be sticky. 4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority because more bits are reserved for port number.

Add netlink device ops to allow creating bridge device via netlink. This works in a manner similar to vlan, macvlan and bonding. Example: # ip link add link dev br0 type bridge # ip link del dev br0 The change required rearranging initializtion code to deal with being called by create link. Most of the initialization happens in br_dev_setup, but allocation of stats is done in ndo_init callback to deal with allocation failure. Sysfs setup has to wait until after the network device kobject is registered. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This allows applications to query and monitor bridge forwarding table in the same method used for neighbor table. The forward table entries are returned in same structure format as used by the ioctl.

We need to assume that all features will be available when registering the netdev otherwise they are ommitted from the initial set of dev->wanted_features. When we connect to the backed we reduce the set as necessary due to the call to netdev_update_features() in xennet_connect().

Note: get_flags was actually broken, because it should return the flags capped with vlan_features. This is now done implicitly by limiting netdev->hw_features. RX checksumming offload control is (and was) broken, as there was no way before to say whether it's done for tagged packets.

All callers are prepared for alloc failures anyway, so this error can safely be boomeranged to the callers domain without super bad consequences. ...At worst the connection might go into a state where each RTO tries to (unsuccessfully) re-fragment with such a mis-sized value and eventually dies.
