e7219858ac ipv6: Use ipv6_get_dsfield() instead of ipv6_tclass().
Commit 7a3198a8 ("ipv6: helper function to get tclass") introduced
ipv6_tclass(), but similar function is already available as
ipv6_get_dsfield().

We might be able to call ipv6_tclass() from ipv6_get_dsfield(),
but it is confusing to have two versions.

3e4e4c1f2d ipv6: Introduce ip6_flow_hdr() to fill version, tclass and flowlabel.
This is not only for readability but also for optimization.
What we do here is to build the 32bit word at the beginning of the ipv6
header (the "ip6_flow" virtual member of struct ip6_hdr in RFC3542) and
we do not need to read the tclass portion of the target buffer.

00494be454 networking/cs89x0.txt: delete stale information about hand patching
Output of a git grep happened to make me look into this file, and
I found instructions about how to hand patch (without using patch)
the driver into the kernel tree.

Since the driver has been a part of the mainline kernel for years,
we can dump this whole section.  Fortunately it doesn't even cause
a renumbering of the sections to do so.

01c5f864e6 net: Rewrite netif_set_xps_queues to address several issues
This change is meant to address several issues I found within the
netif_set_xps_queues function.

If the allocation of one of the maps to be assigned to new_dev_maps failed
we could end up with the device map in an inconsistent state since we had
already worked through a number of CPUs and removed or added the queue.  To
address that I split the process into several steps.  The first of which is
just the allocation of updated maps for CPUs that will need larger maps to
store the queue.  By doing this we can fail gracefully without actually
altering the contents of the current device map.

The second issue I found was the fact that we were always allocating a new
device map even if we were not adding any queues.  I have updated the code
so that we only allocate a new device map if we are adding queues,
otherwise if we are not adding any queues to CPUs we just skip to the
removal process.

The last change I made was to reuse the code from remove_xps_queue to remove
the queue from the CPU.  By making this change we can be consistent in how
we go about adding and removing the queues from the CPUs.

10cdc3f3cd net: Rewrite netif_reset_xps_queue to allow for better code reuse
This patch does a minor refactor on netif_reset_xps_queue to address a few
items I noticed.

First is the fact that we are doing removal of queues in both
netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue.  Since there is no need to
have the code in two places I am pushing it out into a separate function
and will come back in another patch and reuse the code in
netif_set_xps_queue.

The second item this change addresses is the fact that the Tx queues were
not getting their numa_node value cleared as a part of the XPS queue reset.
This patch resolves that by resetting the numa_node value if the dev_maps
value is set.

537c00de1c net: Add functions netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue
This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and
netif_set_xps_queue.  The main idea behind these two functions is to
provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in
regards to XPS.

Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for
things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in
which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping.  With this change
I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS
feature by controlling the default configuration.

c10d73671a softirq: reduce latencies
In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up
to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100.

This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher,
and some actions can consume a lot of cycles.

This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to :

- A time limit of 2 ms.
- need_resched() being set on current task

When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further
softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs.

Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls,
as we can keep BH disabled for too long.

I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in
throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order
of magnitude) :

In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in
background, using all available cpus.

Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC
IRQ (hard+soft)

1def9238d4 net_sched: more precise pkt_len computation
One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len
doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire.

Headers are only accounted for the first segment.
For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing,
an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value.

As consequences :

1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits.
2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well.

Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len
computation.

Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their
bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len
if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch
skb->cb[] first word.

Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca5a
(net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built
a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.

dd4544f054 bgmac: driver for GBit MAC core on BCMA bus
BCMA is a Broadcom specific bus with devices AKA cores. All recent BCMA
based SoCs have gigabit ethernet provided by the GBit MAC core. This
patch adds driver for such a cores registering itself as a netdev. It
has been tested on a BCM4706 and BCM4718 chipsets.

In the kernel tree there is already b44 driver which has some common
things with bgmac, however there are many differences that has led to
the decision or writing a new driver:
1) GBit MAC cores appear on BCMA bus (not SSB as in case of b44)
2) There is 64bit DMA engine which differs from 32bit one
3) There is no CAM (Content Addressable Memory) in GBit MAC
4) We have 4 TX queues on GBit MAC devices (instead of 1)
5) Many registers have different addresses/values
6) RX header flags are also different

The driver in it's state is functional how, however there is of course
place for improvements:
1) Supporting more net_device_ops
2) SUpporting more ethtool_ops
3) Unaligned addressing in DMA
4) Writing separated PHY driver

fda55eca5a net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()
We have skb_mac_header_was_set() helper to tell if mac_header
was set on a skb. We would like the same for transport_header.

__netif_receive_skb() doesn't reset the transport header if already
set by GRO layer.

Note that network stacks usually reset the transport header anyway,
after pulling the network header, so this change only allows
a followup patch to have more precise qdisc pkt_len computation
for GSO packets at ingress side.

0edb7ede7d Merge branch 'delete-8390-EISA' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Paul Gortmaker says:

====================
I'd like to propose that we get rid of these old 8390 EISA drivers.
Of the five deleted here, I wrote four -- and while that doesn't give
me any authority for deletion above anyone else, it does at least
allow me to comment on the absolute absence of anyone reaching
out to the driver author for assistance in the last dozen years.

Eventually we'll probably get rid of EISA bus support, since in
x86, the hardware is close to 20 years old and already too resource
constrained to be useful today.  However there might still be
a few DEC Alpha enthusiasts with old EISA machines kept alive,
and so I expect we'll have to wait a bit longer to get unanimous
agreement to proceed with the full EISA removal (although I'd
love to be proven wrong on that).

Most of the DEC Alpha machines shipped in a PCI configuration, and
even the few that were EISA had DEC tulip based ethernet and no
reason to be needing the inferior 8390 technology.  So the interest
here for any possible DEC enthusiasts with EISA boxes about these
old 8390 drivers should be nil.

These really were rare cards -- in fact the smc-ultra32 is the only
one that I'd ever seen in person.  Even back in the mid 90's when
the drivers were written, I would guess that the user base was less
than 10 people across all of them.

The following patch was created with --irreversible-delete for
ease of review (it skips showing the content of files that are
deleted); however the complete patch can be pulled as per below.

6411280ac9 bnx2x: Segregate SR-IOV code
In this patch the SR-IOV code is segregated from the main bulk of
the bnx2x code. The CONFIG_BNX2X_SRIOV define is added to Broadcom's
Kconfig, and allows the elision of the building of all the SR-IOV
support code in the driver.
The define is dependant on the kernel CONFIG_PCI_IOV configuration
define.

d0e2c55e7c veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_one
commit 2681128f0c (veth: extend device features) added a NULL deref
in veth_stats_one(), as veth_get_stats64() was not testing if the peer
device was setup or not.

At init time, we call dev_get_stats() before veth pair is fully setup.

[  178.854758]  [<ffffffffa00f5677>] veth_get_stats64+0x47/0x70 [veth]
[  178.861013]  [<ffffffff814f0a2d>] dev_get_stats+0x6d/0x130

[  178.883580]  [<ffffffffa00f52fa>] veth_newlink+0x16a/0x350 [veth]

[  178.906669]  [<ffffffff81505760>] ? __rtnl_unlock+0x20/0x20
[  178.912225]  [<ffffffff81521f89>] netlink_rcv_skb+0xa9/0xd0

[  178.923159]  [<ffffffff815218d1>] netlink_unicast+0x1b1/0x230

[  178.934615]  [<ffffffff814dbe22>] sock_sendmsg+0xd2/0xf0

So we must check if peer was setup in veth_get_stats64()

As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, priv->peer is missing proper
synchronization. Adding RCU protection is a safe and well documented
way to make sure we don't access about to be freed or already
freed data.

bca94cffab drivers/net: delete 8390 based EISA drivers.
The NS8390 chip was essentially the 1st widespread PC ethernet
chip, starting its life on 8 bit ISA cards in the late 1980s.
Even with better technologies available (bus mastering etc)
the 8390 managed to get used on a few rare EISA cards in the
early to mid 1990s.

The EISA bus in the x86 world was largely confined to systems
ranging from 486 to 586 (essentially 200MHz or lower, and less
than 100MB RAM) -- i.e. machines unlikely to be still in service,
and even less likely to be running a 3.9+ kernel.

On top of that, only one of the five really ever was considered
non-experimental; the smc-ultra32 was the one -- since it was
largely just an EISA version of the popular smc-ultra ISA card.
All the others had such a tiny user base that they simply never
could be considered anything more than experimental.
