      net/core: Add VF link state control · 1d8faf48
      Rony Efraim authored 
      Add netlink directives and ndo entry to allow for controling
VF link, which can be in one of three states:

Auto - VF link state reflects the PF link state (default)

Up - VF link state is up, traffic from VF to VF works even if
the actual PF link is down

Down - VF link state is down, no traffic from/to this VF, can be of
use while configuring the VF

      bcm63xx_enet: add support Broadcom BCM6345 Ethernet · 3dc6475c
      Florian Fainelli authored 
      This patch adds support for the Broadcom BCM6345 SoC Ethernet. BCM6345
has a slightly different and older DMA engine which requires the
following modifications:

- the width of the DMA channels on BCM6345 is 64 bytes vs 16 bytes,
  which means that the helpers enet_dma{c,s} need to account for this
  channel width and we can no longer use macros

- BCM6345 DMA engine does not have any internal SRAM for transfering
  buffers

- BCM6345 buffer allocation and flow control is not per-channel but
  global (done in RSET_ENETDMA)

- the DMA engine bits are right-shifted by 3 compared to other DMA
  generations

- the DMA enable/interrupt masks are a little different (we need to
  enabled more bits for 6345)

- some register have the same meaning but are offsetted in the ENET_DMAC
  space so a lookup table is required to return the proper offset

The MAC itself is identical and requires no modifications to work.

      htb: reorder struct htb_class fields for performance · ca4ec90b
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      htb_class structures are big, and source of false sharing on SMP.

By carefully splitting them in two parts, we can improve performance.

I got 9 % performance increase on a 24 threads machine, with 200
concurrent netperf in TCP_RR mode, using a HTB hierarchy of 4 classes.

      net-rps: fixes for rps flow limit · 5f121b9a
      Willem de Bruijn authored 
      Caught by sparse:
- __rcu: missing annotation to sd->flow_limit
- __user: direct access in cpumask_scnprintf

Also
- add endline character when printing bitmap if room in buffer
- avoid bucket overflow by reducing FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY

The last item warrants some explanation. The hashtable buckets are
subject to overflow if FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY is larger than or equal
to bucket size, since all packets may end up in a single bucket. The
current (rather arbitrary) history value of 256 happens to match the
buffer size (u8).

As a result, with a single flow, the first 128 packets are accepted
(correct), the second 128 packets dropped (correct) and then the
history[] array has filled, so that each subsequent new packet
causes an increment in the bucket for new_flow plus a decrement
for old_flow: a steady state.

This is fine if packets are dropped, as the steady state goes away
as soon as a mix of traffic reappears. But, because the 256th packet
overflowed the bucket to 0: no packets are dropped.

Instead of explicitly adding an overflow check, this patch changes
FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY to never be able to overflow a single bucket.
