      bridge: multicast snooping exports #2
      
      Some people pointed out to me that it might be helpful to add stubs for
      the newly added multicast exports. That way e.g. batman-adv should continue
      to be compile and useable without having to have a kernel compiled
      with bridge code in the future. This is what the first patch is supposed
      to do.
      
      The second patch adds a third multicast export for the bridge which
      e.g. batman-adv is supposed to use, too, soon: Just like the bridge
      disables its multicast snooping activities if no querier is present,
      batman-adv needs to do the same if bridges are involved.
      
      These three exports should be the final ones needed to marry the bridge
      multicast snooping with the batman-adv multicast optimizations recently
      added for the 3.15 kernel, allowing to use these optimzations in common
      setups having a bridge on top of e.g. bat0, too. So far these bridged
      setups would fall back to simple flooding through the batman-adv mesh
      network for any multicast packet entering bat0.
      
      More information about the batman-adv multicast optimizations currently
      implemented can be found here:
      
      http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Basic-multicast-optimizations
      
      The integration on the batman-adv side could afterwards look like this,
      for instance (now including the third export):

      bridge: export knowledge about the presence of IGMP/MLD queriers · c34963e2
      Linus Lüssing authored
      With this patch other modules are able to ask the bridge whether an
      IGMP or MLD querier exists on the according, bridged link layer.
      
      Multicast snooping can only be performed if a valid, selected querier
      exists on a link.
      
      Just like the bridge only enables its multicast snooping if a querier
      exists, e.g. batman-adv too can only activate its multicast
      snooping in bridged scenarios if a querier is present.
      
      For instance this export avoids having to reimplement IGMP/MLD
      querier message snooping and parsing in e.g. batman-adv, when
      multicast optimizations for bridged scenarios are added in the
      future.

      ====================
      defxx: Fixes for 64-bit host support
      
       This mini patch series addresses issues with 64-bit host support for FDDI
      interface boards supported by the defxx driver where DMA mapping
      synchronisation is required on swiotlb systems.  While PDQ, the DMA engine
      chip used with these boards, supports 48-bit addressing that would
      normally suffice for typical 64-bit systems in existence, the host bus
      interface chips used by individual implementations have their limitations
      as follows:
      
      * DEFTA or DEC FDDIcontroller/TURBOchannel -- there's no host bus
        interface chip, the PDQ connects to TURBOchannel directly; TURBOchannel
        supports DMA addressing of up to 16GB (34-bit addressing), however no
        TURBOchannel system has ever been made that supports more than 1GB of
        RAM, so in reality no remapping is ever required,
      
      * DEFEA or DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA -- the ESIC EISA interface chip only
        supports 32-bit addressing, all accesses beyond 4GB have to be remapped,
      
      * DEFPA or DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI -- the PFI PCI interface chip rev. 1 & 2
        only support 32-bit addressing, they have 32 AD lines only both on the
        PDQ and the PCI side, and consequently no Dual Address Cycle support, so
        all accesses beyond 4GB have to be remapped; the range of addressing
        supported by PFI rev. 3 is currently not certain, however the chip is
        backwards compatible with earlier revisions and will work with code that
        supports them.
      
      Some other issues discovered in the course of correcting 64-bit support
      have been fixed as well.  Each of the patches is functionally
      self-contained and can be applied independentely, although there may be
      mechanical dependencies making it necessary to apply patches in order.
      
       The driver suffers from non-standard formatting and while I did my best
      with these bug fixes to follow our coding style, I found some pieces
      hopeless, checkpatch.pl will complain.  I plan to reformat the whole
      driver, that will inevitably require factoring out some pieces into
      separate functions, but that's going to be a major effort and therefore I
      want to do this separately, with no functional changes made at the same
      time.  If anyone has specific suggestions as to how to reformat any of the
      pieces submitted here for a better layout, then I'll be happy to take them
      into account.
      
       And last but not least many thanks to Robert Coerver, who was the most
      recent person to report this problem with the driver and was kind enough
      to patiently try a few revisions of the driver update on his system as I
      was finding and addressing issues.

      defxx: Add missing DMA synchronisation calls · 8848761f
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      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.

      defxx: Handle DMA mapping errors · b37cccf0
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      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.

      defxx: Discard DMA maps on buffer deallocation · 6329fe5c
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      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

      process of ring fault recovery when a PC Trace signal has been received.

      defxx: Correct the receive DMA map size · d68ab591
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      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.

      ====================
      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.

      net: sctp: Optimise the way 'sctp_arg_t' values are initialised. · b9420e1c
      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.

      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.

      Arvid Brodin authored
      If none of the slave interfaces are specified, struct nlattr *data[] may
      be NULL. Make sure to check for that.
      
      While I'm at it, fix the horrible error messages displayed when only one
      of the slave interfaces isn't specified.

      net/hsr: Better frame dispatch · f266a683
      Arvid Brodin authored
      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.

      When the system is too busy to complete the urb, the tx timout function
      would be called. This causes the other tx urbs would be killed, too.
      Increase the tx timeout to avoid it.

      ====================
      amd-xgbe: AMD 10Gb Ethernet driver updates
      
      The following series fixes some bugs and provides new/changed support
      in the driver.
      
      - Fix a debugfs backward compatibility issue introduced by a previous patch
      - Write to the interrupt enablement register, not the status register when
        setting MTL interrupts
      - Call netif_napi_del whenever the ndo_stop operation is called (to match
        the call to netif_napi_add on ndo_open)
      - Peformance enhancements:
        - Adjusted default coalescing settings
        - AXI DMA changes (burst length size and cache settings)
        - ioread/iowrite reduction during interrupt
        - Napi poll updates
      - AXI DMA settings based on device tree property to account for a change in
        the ARM64 default cache operations assignment
      
      This patch series is based on net-next.

      amd-xgbe: Base AXI DMA cache settings on device tree · cfa50c78
      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.

      amd-xgbe: Performance enhancements · 9867e8fb
      Lendacky, Thomas authored
      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
