Using a (delayed) workqueue for ERR006358 is not correct - a work queue
is a single-trigger device. Once the work queue has been scheduled, it
can't be re-scheduled until it has been run. This can cause problems -
with an appropriate packet timing, we can end up with packets queued,
but not sent by the hardware, resulting in the transmit timeout firing.
Re-implement this as per the workaround detailed in the ERR006358
documentation - if there are packets waiting to be sent when we service
the transmit ring, and we see that the transmitter is not running,
kick the transmitter to run the pending entries in the ring.
Testing here with a 10Mbit half duplex link sees the resulting iperf
TCP bandwidth increase from between 1 to 2Mbps to between 8 to 9Mbps.

Changing the features (receive checksumming) requires the hardware to be
reprogrammed, and also changes the checks in the receive packet
processing.
The current implementation has a race - fec_set_features() changes the
flags which alter the receive packet processing while the adapter is
active, and potentially receiving frames. Only after we've modified
the software flag do we shutdown and reconfigure the hardware.
This can lead to packets being received and marked with a valid checksum
(via CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY) when the hardware checksum validation has not
yet been enabled.
We must quiesce the device, then change the software configuration for
this feature, and then resume the device if it was previously running.
The resulting code structure also allows us to add other configuration
features in this path without having to quiesce and resume the network
interface and device.

fec_set_features() calls fec_stop() to stop the transmit ring while the

by the tx quirk timer expiring.
Fix this by disabling NAPI (which ensures that the NAPI handlers are
not running), and then take the transmit lock while we stop and
restart the adapter (which prevents new packets being queued).

fec_suspend() calls fec_stop() to stop the transmit ring while the
transmit packet processing is still active. This can lead to the
transmit queue being restarted by an intervening packet queued for
transmission, or by the tx quirk timer expiring.
Fix this by disabling NAPI first, which will ensure that the NAPI
handlers are not running. Then, take the transmit lock before
detaching the netif device. This ensures that there are no races
with the transmit path - and also ensures that the watchdog won't
fire.
We can then safely stop the ethernet device itself, knowing that the
rest of the driver is safely shut down.
On resume, we bring the device back up in reverse order - we restart
the device, reattach the device (under the tx lock), and then enable
the NAPI handlers.
We also need to adjust the close function to cope with this new
sequence, so that it's possible to cleanly close down the driver
after the hardware fails to resume (eg, due to the regulator_enable()
or pinctrl calls in the resume path returning an error.)

This is the second stage to "move calls to quiesce/resume packet
processing out of fec_restart()", where we remove calls which are not
appropriate to the call site.
In the majority of cases, there is no need to detach and reattach the
interface as we are holding the queue xmit lock across the reset. The
exception to that is in fec_resume(), where we are already detached by
the suspend function. Here, we can remove the call to detach the
interface.
We also do not need to stop the transmit queue. Holding the xmit lock
is enough to ensure that the transmit packet processing is not running
while we perform our task. However, since fec_restart() always cleans
the rings, we call netif_wake_queue() (or netif_device_attach() in the
case of resume) just before dropping the xmit lock. This prevents the
watchdog firing.
Lastly, always call napi_enable() after the device has been reattached
in the resume path so that we know that the transmit packet processing
is already in an enabled state, so we don't call netif_wake_queue()
while detached.

Avoid calling fec_restart() or fec_stop() while the device is down
or not present (iow suspended.)
Although the ndo_timeout method will only be called if the device is
present and running, we defer this to a work queue. The work queue
can run independently, and so needs to repeat these checks to ensure
that a restart doesn't occur after the device has been taken down or
detached for suspend. In this case, we call fec_restart() in the
resume path, so nothing is lost.
For fec_set_features, we add a call to fec_restart() in fec_enet_open()
to ensure that the hardware is appropriate programmed when the interface
is opened. fec_set_features() call should not occur while we're
suspended, so we don't have to worry about that case.
The adjust_link needs similar treatment - this also is called from a
work queue, which may be run independently after we have taken the
device down and detached it. In this case, we just mark the link
down and take no further action. We will reset things appropriately
once the device is up and running again, at which point we will receive
another adjust_link callback.

In 40GE we can't use the default bw units for set ratelimit (100 Mbps)
since the max is 255*100 Mbps = 25 Gbps (not suited for 40GE), thus we need 1 Gbps units.
But for 10GE 1 Gbps units might be too bruit so we use the following solution.
For user set ratelimit <= 25 Gbps:
use 100 Mbps units * user_ratelimit (* 10).
For user set ratelimit > 25 Gbps:
use 1 Gbps units * user_ratelimit.
For user set unlimited ratelimit (0 Gbps):
use 1 Gbps units * MAX_RATELIMIT_DEFAULT (57)

====================
bridge: multicast snooping exports #2
Some people pointed out to me that it might be helpful to add stubs for
the newly added multicast exports. That way e.g. batman-adv should continue
to be compile and useable without having to have a kernel compiled
with bridge code in the future. This is what the first patch is supposed
to do.
The second patch adds a third multicast export for the bridge which
e.g. batman-adv is supposed to use, too, soon: Just like the bridge
disables its multicast snooping activities if no querier is present,
batman-adv needs to do the same if bridges are involved.
These three exports should be the final ones needed to marry the bridge
multicast snooping with the batman-adv multicast optimizations recently
added for the 3.15 kernel, allowing to use these optimzations in common
setups having a bridge on top of e.g. bat0, too. So far these bridged
setups would fall back to simple flooding through the batman-adv mesh
network for any multicast packet entering bat0.
More information about the batman-adv multicast optimizations currently
implemented can be found here:
http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Basic-multicast-optimizations
The integration on the batman-adv side could afterwards look like this,
for instance (now including the third export):
http://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/commitdiff/61e4f6af4b7a21ed4040f2e711d50c778e5b6d93?hp=6ae4281474675fbca5bedcf768972a32db586eb6
====================
With this patch other modules are able to ask the bridge whether an
IGMP or MLD querier exists on the according, bridged link layer.
Multicast snooping can only be performed if a valid, selected querier
exists on a link.
Just like the bridge only enables its multicast snooping if a querier
exists, e.g. batman-adv too can only activate its multicast
snooping in bridged scenarios if a querier is present.
For instance this export avoids having to reimplement IGMP/MLD
querier message snooping and parsing in e.g. batman-adv, when
multicast optimizations for bridged scenarios are added in the
future.
