This adds DMA synchronisation calls needed in the receive path: 1. To retrieve the Receive Status word that is prepended by the PDQ DMA engine in the receive buffer, and provides information about the frame received, including its size and any errors. 2. To make data received available for copying in the small-frame case (size <= SKBUFF_RX_COPYBREAK) where the original DMA buffer will be returned to the receive descriptor ring and therefore its mapping retained. With DMA mapping error handling in place, added by the other patch, this may now also trigger where an attempt to map a newly allocated buffer for DMA has failed. In that case data from the original buffer will be copied out and the buffer returned to the DMA descriptor ring. These calls may do nothing when data is in the host DMA addressing range of the FDDI interface, such as always on 32-bit systems, however their absence makes frame reception stop functioning reliably on systems that have memory beyond the low 4GB of the address space.

This adds error handling for DMA mapping requests; I think there isn't much else to say about it. A good side-effect is the mapping in the transmit path is now made with the board lock released. Also if DMA mapping fails for a newly allocated receive buffer, then data from the old buffer will be copied out (as is presently done for small frames only whose size does not exceed SKBUFF_RX_COPYBREAK) and the original buffer returned, with its mapping unchanged, to the DMA descriptor ring.

Prearranged receive DMA bounce buffer mappings are not released in the card reboot/shutdown path. That does not affect frame reception, but probably explains the random segmentation fault I observed the other day on interface shutdown. Card is rebooted as required by the spec in the process of ring fault recovery when a PC Trace signal has been received. This change fixes the problem in an obvious manner.

Receive DMA maps are oversized, they include EISA legacy 128-byte alignment padding in size calculation whereas this padding is never used for data. Worse yet, if the skb's data area has been realigned indeed, then data beyond the end of the buffer will be synchronised from the receive DMA bounce buffer, possibly corrupting data structures residing in memory beyond the actual end of this data buffer. Therefore switch to using PI_RCV_DATA_K_SIZE_MAX rather than NEW_SKB_SIZE in DMA mapping, the value the former macro expands to is written to the receive ring DMA descriptor of the PDQ DMA chip and determines the maximum amount of data PDQ will ever transfer to the corresponding data buffer, including all headers and padding.

David Laight says: ==================== net: sctp: Optimisations to sctp command queue code These 3 patches optimise the code that processes sctp's command queue. (A list of 'tasks' to be performed after the rest of the chunk processing.) 1) Inline all the functions from command.c 2) Remove the memset() calls used to zero a word-sized union. 3) Use pointers instead of array indexes. The combined changes reduce the code size (amd64) by a few kb. I'm not 100% convinced that the zeroing done in patch 2 is needed at all. On BE systems it is likely to generate more code than on LE ones. In fact it might be best to change the union to only contain 'long' sized items. Changes for v2: - Add some missing initialisers in patch 2/3 and delete them in 3/3. - Modify the commit message for 2/3 to point out that the union shouldn't need to be zeroed, but the patches aren't intended to change the behaviour even if the code is buggy. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

David Laight authored
Even if memset() is inlined (as on x86) using it to zero the union generates a memory word write of zero, followed by a write of the smaller field, and then a read of the word. As well as being a lot of instructions the sequence is unlikely to be optimised by the store-load forward hardware so will be slow. Instead allocate a field of the union that is the same size as the entire union and write a zero value to it. The compiler will then generate the required value in a register. Zeroing the union shouldn't be necessary, but this patch series isn't intended to have a behavioural change. Signed-off-by: David Laight <david.laight@aculab.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

sctp_init_cmd_seq() and sctp_next_cmd() are only called from one place. The call sequence for sctp_add_cmd_sf() is likely to be longer than the inlined code.

John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless-next 2014-07-03 Please pull this first batch of wireless updates intended for the 3.17 stream... For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "The biggest thing here is probably Arik's TDLS rework, beyond that we have smaller improvements and features like David's scanning IE thing, Luca's queue work, some CSA work, etc. Also your PID rate control removal, of course." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I have here a whole bunch of various things. Andy contributes better debug prints for dvm specific flows and a module parameter to completely disable power save for dvm. Andrei is sharing the premises of his work on CSA - more to come. Eran and Liad keep on working on the new devices. I have the regular amount of BT Coex stuff and I continue to work on the firmware error report system adding more debug capabilities. More to come on that subject too." On top of that, there are some cleanups to the new rsi driver, some continuing improvements to the rtl818x drivers, and the usual bundles of updates to ath9k, b43, mwifiex, wil6210, and a few other bits here and there. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Where the value printed is an offset (whose range will always fit) the cast uses a 32-bit type, otherwise, where it is a host memory address, the pointer is output directly with %p. Also the remaining `0x' prefix is dropped for consistency across these messages. Tested with both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation, as well as at the run time (with the debug messages affected enabled).

Arvid Brodin says: ==================== net/hsr: Use list_head+rcu, better frame dispatch, etc. This patch series is meant to improve the HSR code in several ways: * Better code readability. * In general, make the code structure more like the net/bridge code (HSR operates similarly to a bridge, but uses the HSR-specific frame headers to break up rings, instead of the STP protocol). * Better handling of HSR ports' net_device features. * Use list_head and the _rcu list traversing routines instead of array of slave devices. * Make it easy to support HSR Interlink devices (for future Redbox/Quadbox support). * Somewhat better throughput on non-HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS archs, due to lesser copying of skb data. The code has been tested in a ring together with other HSR nodes running unchanged code, on both avr32 and x86_64. There should only be one minor change in behaviour from a user perspective: * Anyone using the Netlink HSR_C_GET_NODE_LIST message to dump the internal node database will notice that the database now also contains the self node. All patches pass 'checkpatch.pl --ignore CAMELCASE --max-line-length=83 --strict' with only CHECKs, each of which have been deliberately left in place. The final code passes sparse checks with no output. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch removes the separate paths for frames coming from the outside, and frames sent from the HSR device, and instead makes all frames go through hsr_forward_skb() in hsr_forward.c. This greatly improves code readability and also opens up the possibility for future support of the HSR Interlink device that is the basis for HSR RedBoxes and HSR QuadBoxes, as well as VLAN compatibility. Other improvements: * A reduction in the number of times an skb is copied on machines without HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which improves throughput somewhat. * Headers are now created using the standard eth_header(), and using the standard hard_header_len. * Each HSR slave now gets its own private skb, so slave-specific fields can be correctly set.

Lendacky, Thomas authored
The default cache operations for ARM64 were changed during 3.15. To use coherent operations a "dma-coherent" device tree property is required. If that property is not present in the device tree node then the non-coherent operations are assigned for the device. Add support to the amd-xgbe driver to assign the AXI DMA cache settings based on whether the "dma-coherent" property is present in the device node. If present, use settings that work with the caches. If not present, use settings that do not look at the caches. Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch provides some general performance enhancements for the driver: - Modify the default coalescing settings (reduce usec, increase frames) - Change the AXI burst length to 256 bytes (default was 16 bytes which was smaller than a cache line) - Change the AXI cache settings to write-back/write-allocate which allocate cache entries for received packets during the DMA since the packet will be processed soon afterwards - Combine ioread/iowrite when disabling both the Tx and Rx interrupts - Change to processing the Tx/Rx channels in pairs - Only recycle the Rx descriptors when a threshold of dirty descriptors is reached Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently the napi context is added using netif_napi_add each time the ndo_open operation is called. However, there is not a corresponding netif_napi_del call during the ndo_stop operation.

The initial change from sscanf to kstrtouint broke backward compatbility by using a base of "0" in the kstrtouint call. This allowed for entering decimal, hexadecimal or octal as input where previously the sscanf always interpreted the input as hexadecimal. Additionally, -EIO was returned on error prior to this change and now it is whatever the error value that is returned by kstrtouint. Change the base value of the kstrtouint from 0 to 16 and return -EIO on error. Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com> Reported-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The header file include/linux/arcdevice.h #defines bool to int, if bool is not already #defined. However, the files which use that header file seem to rely on that #define (unconditionally) being in effect: the prototypes for the functions arcrimi_reset, com20020_reset, com90io_reset, com90xx_reset (whose addresses are assigned to the hw.reset member of struct arcnet_local) use int explicitly. Moreover, that #define is an accident waiting to happen (scenario: inclusion of arcdevice.h followed by inclusion of some header which declares function prototypes using bool). Also, #include <linux/types.h> must appear before #include <linux/arcdevice.h> (the compiler wouldn't like "typedef _Bool int"). Since none of the files using arcdevice.h declare variables of type "bool", the patch is actually quite simple, unlike the commit message.

Alexander Aring says: ==================== at86rf230: rework driver implementation this patch series includes a rework of the at86rf230 driver. There are several changes: - Add regmap support. - Merge at86rf212 operations with generic at86rf2xx operations, all chips supports these operations. - Drop of irqworker. This is a workqueue which will scheduled by an irq to handle synchronous spi handling. Instead using asynchronous spi handling, then no scheduler is involved at irq handling. - Also detected some bugs by receiving frame like CRC can be correct and a 802.15.4 frame length could be above 127 bytes. This would crash the whole kernel (but should be handled by the mac layer). Another bug is the handling with RX_SAFE_MODE which protect the frame buffer after a readout. This is currently not working because we read out the buffer twice and the first one to get the frame size. Solution is to readout always the whole frame buffer. - Added some timing relevants things from the datasheet for state changes And IEEE 802.15.4 standard like interframe spacing. Interframe spacing is needed to insert some receiving space time between frame transmitting. This should be also handled by MAC layer, but it's currently a workaround to add this inside the driver layer. - Add some callback setting for chip specific handling, instead of runtime decisions if (is_chip_type()). Callbacks are set only once at probe time. - We don't using a force state change anymore. A force state change will do a abort of receiving frames while we want to transmit a new frame. This should decrease the drop rate of packets. - And many others changes and bug fixes... changes since v3: - fix irq polarity in patch ("at86rf230: rework irq_pol setting"). changes since v2: - add check if necessary functions are implemented when hw flags are set in patch ("mac802154: at86rf230: add hw flags and merge ops"). I choosed the second variant. - remove unnecessary includes for workqueue and mutex in patch ("at86rf230: rework transmit and receive"). - remove unnecessary cast in patch ("at86rf230: rework transmit and receive"). - acivate regmap cache with REGCACHE_RBTREE in patch ("at86rf230: add regmap support"). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
