This patch "inline" get_tx_owner and get_ls routines. It Results in a unique read to tdes0, instead of three, to check TX_OWN and LS bits, and other status bits. It helps improve driver TX path by removing two uncached read/writes inside TX clean loop for enhanced descriptors but not for normal ones because the des1 must be read in any case. Signed-off-by:

This patch is to optimize the way to manage the TDES inside the xmit function. When prepare the frame, some settings (e.g. OWN bit) can be merged. This has been reworked to improve the tx performances. Signed-off-by:

The RDES0 register can be read several times while doing RX of a packet. This patch slightly improves RX path performance by reading rdes0 once for two operation: check rx owner, get rx status bits. Signed-off-by:

Optimize tx_clean by avoiding a des3 read in stmmac_clean_desc3(). In ring mode, TX, des3 seems only used when xmit a jumbo frame. In case of normal descriptors, it may also be used for time stamping. Clean it in the above two case, without reading it. Signed-off-by:

last_segment field is read twice from dma descriptors in stmmac_clean(). Add last_segment to dma data so that this flag is from priv structure in cache instead of memory. It avoids reading twice from memory for each loop in stmmac_clean(). Signed-off-by:

Currently, the code pulls out the length field when unmapping a buffer directly from the descriptor. This will result in an uncached read to a dma_alloc_coherent() region. There is no need to do this, so this patch simply puts the value directly into a data structure which will hit the cache. Signed-off-by:

This patch is to rework the ring management now optimized. The indexes into the ring buffer are always incremented, and the entry is accessed via doing a modulo to find the "real" position in the ring. It is inefficient, modulo is an expensive operation. The formula [(entry + 1) & (size - 1)] is now adopted on a ring that is power-of-2 in size. Then, the number of elements cannot be set by command line but it is fixed. Signed-off-by:

This patch restructures the DMA bus settings and this is done by introducing a new platform structure used for programming the AXI Bus Mode Register inside the DMA module. This structure can be populated from device-tree as documented in the binding txt file. After initializing the DMA, the AXI register can be optionally tuned for platform drivers based. This patch also reworks some parameters to make coherent the DMA configuration now that AXI register is introduced. For example, the burst_len is managed by using the mentioned axi support above; so the snps,burst-len parameter has been removed. It makes sense to provide the AAL parameter from DT to Address-Aligned Beats inside the Register0 and review the PBL settings when initialize the engine. For PCI glue, rebuilding the story of this setting, it was added to align a configuration so not for fixing some known problem. No issue raised after this patch. It is safe to use the default burst length instead of tuning it to the maximum value Signed-off-by:

Santosh Shilimkar says: ==================== RDS: Major clean-up with couple of new features for 4.6 v3: Re-generated the same series by omitting "-D" option from git format-patch command. Since first patch has file removals, git apply/am can't deal with it when formated with '-D' option. v2: Dropped module parameter from [PATCH 11/13] as suggested by David Miller Series is generated against net-next but also applies against Linus's tip cleanly. Entire patchset is available at below git tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ssantosh/linux.git for_4.6/net-next/rds_v2 The diff-stat looks bit scary since almost ~4K lines of code is getting removed. Brief summary of the series: - Drop the stale iWARP support: RDS iWarp support code has become stale and non testable for sometime. As discussed and agreed earlier on list, am dropping its support for good. If new iWarp user(s) shows up in future, the plan is to adapt existing IB RDMA with special sink case. - RDS gets SO_TIMESTAMP support - Long due RDS maintainer entry gets updated - Some RDS IB code refactoring towards new FastReg Memory registration (FRMR) - Lastly the initial support for FRMR RDS IB RDMA performance with FRMR is not yet as good as FMR and I do have some patches in progress to address that. But they are not ready for 4.6 so I left them out of this series. Also am keeping eye on new CQ API adaptations like other ULPs doing and will try to adapt RDS for the same most likely in 4.7+ timeframe. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Fastreg MR(FRMR) is another method with which one can register memory to HCA. Some of the newer HCAs supports only fastreg mr mode, so we need to add support for it to have RDS functional on them. Signed-off-by:

Discovere Fast Memmory Registration support using IB device IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS. Certain HCA might support just FRMR or FMR or both FMR and FRWR. In case both mr type are supported, default FMR is used. Default MR is still kept as FMR against what everyone else is following. Default will be changed to FRMR once the RDS performance with FRMR is comparable with FMR. The work is in progress for the same. Signed-off-by:

In case of problems when initializing the chip, the error flows aren't being properly done. Specifically, it's possible that the chip would be left in a configuration allowing it [internally] to access the host memory, causing fatal problems in the device that would require power cycle to overcome.

BB_A0 is a development model that is will not reach actual clients. In fact, future firmware would simply fail to initialize such chip. This changes the configuration into B0 instead of A0, and adds a safeguard against the slim chance someone would actually try this with an A0 adapter in which case probe would gracefully fail.

Use managed resource functions devm_kzalloc and pcim_enable_device to simplify error handling. Subsequently, remove unnecessary kfree, pci_disable_device and pci_release_regions. To be compatible with the change, various gotos are replaced with direct returns and unneeded labels are dropped. Also, `sc` was only being freed in the probe function and not the remove function before the change. By using devm_kzalloc this patch also fixes this memory leak. Signed-off-by:

Antonio Quartulli says: ==================== batman-adv 20160229 this is our (hopefully) latest batch of patches intended for net-next. With this patchset we finally introduce B.A.T.M.A.N. V: the latest version of our routing protocol. Technical documentation describing the protocol in more detail can be found in our wiki[1][2][3][4]. For what concerns this pull request, you can find the high level description right below. [1] https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/BATMAN_V [2] https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/OGMv2 [3] https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/ELP [4] https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/BATMAN_V_Tests ... With this patchset we finally introduce our new routing protocol: B.A.T.M.A.N. V. Its implementation started quite some years ago, but due to the big changes being introduced it took a while to be discussed, designed, worked, re-worked, tested and debugged (well, we're never done with the latest). The entire operation has basically been a team work involving all the core contributors together with other people interested in the project. The new protocol is divided into two main subcomponents, called respectively ELP and OGMv2. The former is in charge of dealing with the neighbour discovery and link quality estimation, while the latter implements the algorithm that spreads the metrics around the network and computes optimal paths. The biggest change introduced with B.A.T.M.A.N. V is the new metric: the protocol won't rely on packet loss anymore, but it will use the estimated throughput extracted directly from the wifi driver (when available) by querying cfg80211. Batman-adv will also send some unicast probing packets when an interface is not used for payload traffic to make sure that such values are current. The new protocol can be compiled-in or not like other features we have and when selected will pull in CFG80211 as dependency for the reason described above. Thanks to the big work brought up in the past by Marek Lindner, batman-adv can easily deal several protocol implementations, therefore compiling in this new version does not exclude the older. This means that the user is offered the option to choose the protocol when creating the mesh interface (default is the old one to keep backward compatibility). Along with the protocol there are some sysfs knobs that are introduced to fine tune some of its behaviours, but users are recommended to keep the default values unless they know what they are doing. The last patch is about advertising our own patchwork platform (thanks to Sven Eckelmann for having set that up!) in the MAINTAINERS file. ==================== Signed-off-by:

of_mdiobus_register() declares the 'paddr' variable to hold the result of the of_get_property() but only uses it once after that while the function can be called directly from the *if* statement. Remove that variable and switch to calling of_find_property() instead since we don't care about the "reg" property's value anyway... Signed-off-by:

Yuval Mintz says: ==================== qed: Attention support patch series Until now we've only enabled attention generation for the sake of management firmware indications [required for link notifications]. This series enables [almost] all the attention sources of the HW, currently for the sake of logging information relating to issues experienced by HW. In future, infrastructure laid here would also be used for the sake of the recovery process. The first patch in the series is a semantic alignemnt of the code. The later 3 patches incremently create said infrastructure and enrich the logged information. Notice #3 contains quite a bit of structures [consisting of ~1K lines] that will eventually be removed and incorporated in the binary fw file. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This patch utilizes the attention infrastructure to log additional information that relates only to specific HW blocks. For some of those HW blocks, it also stops automatically disabling the attention generation as the attention is considered benign and thus should only be logged; No fear of it flooding the system.

Each HW block contains common information about attention reasons, raising a bit for each one of the different sub-reasons that caused it to raise an attention.
