This patch allows us to avoid a Tx hang when SR-IOV is enabled. This hang can be triggered by sending small packets at a rate that was triggering Rx missed errors from the adapter while the internal Tx switch and at least one VF are enabled. This was all due to the fact that under heavy stress the Rx FIFO never drained below the flow control high water mark. This resulted in the Tx FIFO being head of line blocked due to the fact that it relies on the flow control high water mark to determine when it is acceptable for the Tx to place a packet in the Rx FIFO. The resolution for this is to set the FCRTH value to the RXPBSIZE - 32 so that even if the ring is almost completely full we can still place Tx packets on the Rx ring and drop incoming Rx traffic if we do not have sufficient space available in the Rx FIFO.

Instead of dropping the packet, we keep the skb buffer, and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY to let upper layer retry send. This will not cause endless loop, because the host is taking data away from ring buffer, and we have called the stop_queue before returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY. The stop_queue was called in the function netvsc_send() in file netvsc.c, then it returns to rndis_filter_send(), which returns to netvsc_start_xmit() in file netvsc_drv.c. So the NETDEV_TX_BUSY is indeed returned AFTER queue is stopped. Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: K. Y.

Resolve namespace issues when FCoE or DCB is not enabled. The issue is with certain configurations we end up with namespace problems. A simple example: ixgbe_main.c - defines func A() - uses func A() ixgbe_fcoe.c - uses func A() ixgbe.h - has prototype for func A() For default (FCoE included) all is good. But when it isn't the namespace checker complains about how func A() could be static. To resolve this, created a ixgbe_lib file to contain functions used by DCB/FCoE and their helper functions so that they are always in namespace whether or not DCB/FCoE is enabled.

With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes. Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in many cases. When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true latency killer and cpu cache blower. Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the tcp_collapse() thing later. Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due to low socket buffer" I had before. This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets. With help from Neal Cardwell.

Split tcp_data_queue() in two parts for better readability. tcp_data_queue_ofo() is responsible for queueing incoming skb into out of order queue. Change code layout so that the skb_set_owner_r() is performed only if skb is not dropped. This is a preliminary patch before "reduce out_of_order memory use" following patch.

This patch replaces the variable name data with the variable name features for ixgbe_fix_features and ixgbe_set_features. This helps to make some issues more obvious such as the fact that we were disabling Rx VLAN tag stripping when we should have been forcing it to be enabled when DCB is enabled. In addition there was deprecated code present that was disabling the LRO flag if we had the itr value set too low. I have updated this logic so that we will now allow the LRO flag to be set, but will not enable RSC until the rx-usecs value is high enough to allow enough time for Rx packet coalescing.

This change fixes two minor issues. The first was the fact that we were setting the return value to false twice in the set_rss_queues function.

This change makes it so that only the 2nd cache line in the ring structure should see frequent updates.

The __netif_subqueue_stopped() just does the following: struct netdev_queue *txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, queue_index); return netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq); and since we already have the txq in scope, we can just call that directly in this case.

Commit 28d82dc1 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

Pull networking changes from David Miller: "1) icmp6_dst_alloc() returns NULL instead of ERR_PTR() leading to crashes, particularly during shutdown.
