As time passed, available memory increased faster than number of concurrent tcp sockets. As a result, a machine with 4GB of ram gets a hash table with 524288 slots, using 8388608 bytes of memory. Lets change that by a 16x factor (one slot for 128 KB of ram) Even if a small machine needs a _lot_ of sockets, tcp lookups are now very efficient, using one cache line per socket.

Ben Hutchings says: ==================== 1. More workarounds for TX queue flush failures that can occur during interface reconfiguration. 2. Fix spurious failure of a firmware request running during a system clock change, e.g. ntpd started at the same time as driver load. 3. Fix inconsistent statistics after a firmware upgrade. 4. Fix a variable (non-)initialisation in offline self-test that can make it more disruptive than intended. 5. Fix a race that can (at least) cause an assertion failure. 6. Miscellaneous cleanup. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This change makes it so that only the first fragment in a series of fragments will have the L4 header pulled. Previously we were always pulling the L4 header as well and in the case of UDP this can harm performance since only the first fragment will have the header, the rest just contain data which should be left in the paged portion of the packet.

This patch enables flow control to be set in SerDes autoneg mode. This is done the way it is done for copper, but relies on a different set of register/bit checks since this is all done within the MAC registers.

efx_mcdi_poll() uses get_seconds() to read the current time and to implement a polling timeout. The use of this function was chosen partly because it could easily be replaced in a co-sim environment with a macro that read the simulated time. Unfortunately the real get_seconds() returns the system time (real time) which is subject to adjustment by e.g. ntpd. If the system time is adjusted forward during a polled MCDI operation, the effective timeout can be shorter than the intended 10 seconds, resulting in a spurious failure. It is also possible for a backward adjustment to delay detection of a areal failure. Use jiffies instead, and change MCDI_RPC_TIMEOUT to be denominated in jiffies. Also correct rounding of the timeout: check time > finish (or rather time_after(time, finish)) and not time >= finish. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

We sometimes hit a "failed to flush" timeout on some TX queues, but the flushes have completed and the flush completion events seem to go missing. In this case, we can check the TX_DESC_PTR_TBL register and drain the queues if the flushes had finished. [bwh: Minor fixes to coding style] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

If the MC reboots then the stats it reports to us will have been reset. We need to reset ours to get efx_update_diff_stat() working properly. (Ideally we would maintain stats across the reboot, but as this should only happen immediately after a firmware upgrade it's not really worth the trouble.)

Currently we initialise the newly allocated buffer to all-1s, which is important for event queues but not for descriptor queues. And since we also do that in efx_nic_init_eventq(), it is completely pointless to do it here. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

efx_writed_table() uses a step of 16 bytes but efx_readd_table() uses a step of 4 bytes. Why are they different? Firstly, register access is asymmetric: - The EVQ_RPTR table and RX_INDIRECTION_TBL can (or must?) be written as dwords even though they have a step size of 16 bytes, unlike most other CSRs. - In general, a read of any width is valid for registers, so long as it does not cross register boundaries. There is also no latching behaviour in the BIU, contrary to rumour. We write to the EVQ_RPTR table with efx_writed_table() but never read it back as it's write-only. We write to the RX_INDIRECTION_TBL with efx_writed_table(), but only read it back for the register dump, where we use efx_reado_table() as for any other table with step size of 16. We read MC_TREG_SMEM with efx_readd_table() for the register dump, but normally read and write it with efx_readd() and efx_writed() using offsets calculated in bytes. Since these functions are trivial and have few callers, it's clearer to open-code them at the call sites. While we're at it, update the comments on the BIU behaviour again.

Receiving pause frames can block TX queue flushes. Earlier changes work around this by reconfiguring the MAC during flushes for VFs, but during flushes for the PF we would only change the fc_disable counter. Unless the MAC is reconfigured for some other reason during the flush (which I would not expect to happen) this had no effect at all. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

commit 68835aba (net: optimize INET input path further) moved some fields used for tcp/udp sockets lookup in the first cache line of struct sock_common. This patch moves inet_dport/inet_num as well, filling a 32bit hole on 64 bit arches and reducing number of cache line misses in lookups. Also change INET_MATCH()/INET_TW_MATCH() to perform the ports match before addresses match, as this check is more discriminant. Remove the hash check from MATCH() macros because we dont need to re validate the hash value after taking a refcount on socket, and use likely/unlikely compiler hints, as the sk_hash/hash check makes the following conditional tests 100% predicted by cpu. Introduce skc_addrpair/skc_portpair pair values to better document the alignment requirements of the port/addr pairs used in the various MATCH() macros, and remove some casts. The namespace check can also be done at last. This slightly improves TCP/UDP lookup times. IP/TCP early demux needs inet->rx_dst_ifindex and TCP needs inet->min_ttl, lets group them together in same cache line. With help from Ben Hutchings & Joe Perches. Idea of this patch came after Ling Ma proposal to move skc_hash to the beginning of struct sock_common, and should allow him to submit a final version of his patch. My tests show an improvement doing so.

Unlike LRO, GRO requires that vlan tags be removed before aggregation can occur.

This patch fixes a bug introduced in bbd9f9ee which could prevent some wakeups from working correctly if multiple wol options were selected. This helper function calculates a 16-bit crc and shifts it into either the high or low 16 bits of a u32 so the caller can or it directly into place. The function previously had a u16 return type so would always have returned zero when filter was odd.

If usbnet_suspend returns an error we don't want to call usbnet_resume to clean up, but instead just return the error.

This patch removes an unused parameter (src_net) from rtnl_create_link() method and from the method single invocation, in veth. This parameter was used in the past when calling ops->get_tx_queues(src_net, tb) in rtnl_create_link(). The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods, get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any parameter.
