9ecb9aabaf r8169: workaround for missing extended GigaMAC registers
GigaMAC registers have been reported left unitialized in several
situations:
- after cold boot from power-off state
- after S3 resume

Tweaking rtl_hw_phy_config takes care of both.

This patch removes an excess entry (",") at the end of the exgmac_reg
array as well.

682d7978ae Networking: Remove __dev* markings from the networking drivers
This is a series of patches that remove the dev* attributes for all
 networking drivers, with the exception of wireless drivers, those are in
 a different branch.
 
 Use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and
 __devexit are no longer needed since CONFIG_HOTPLUG is being removed as
 an option.
 
 Note, there are some devinit compiler section mismatch warnings due to
 this series, but they are fixed up when merged with my driver-next
 branch, which fixes the PCI device id warnings, and removes the modpost
 detection, as it's no longer needed.

cb64edb6b8 8139cp: properly support change of MTU values [v2]
The 8139cp driver has a change_mtu function that has not been
enabled since the dawn of the git repository. However, the
generic eth_change_mtu is not used in its place, so that
invalid MTU values can be set on the interface.

Original patch salvages the broken code for the single case of
setting the MTU while the interface is down, which is safe
and also includes the range check.  Now enhanced to support up
or down interface.

v2: fix case where rxbufsz isn't changed in the up state case

Original patch from
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1202.2/00770.html

Testing: has been test on virtual 8139cp setup without issue,
have no access real hardware 8139cp, need testing help.

a9dbe40fc1 8139cp: set ring address after enabling C+ mode
This fixes (for me) a regression introduced by commit b01af457 ("8139cp:
set ring address before enabling receiver"). That commit configured the
descriptor ring addresses earlier in the initialisation sequence, in
order to avoid the possibility of triggering stray DMA before the
correct address had been set up.

Unfortunately, it seems that the hardware will scribble garbage into the
TxRingAddr registers when we enable "plus mode" Tx in the CpCmd
register. Observed on a Traverse Geos router board.

To deal with this, while not reintroducing the problem which led to the
original commit, we augment cp_start_hw() to write to the CpCmd register
*first*, then set the descriptor ring addresses, and then finally to
enable Rx and Tx in the original 8139 Cmd register. The datasheet
actually indicates that we should enable Tx/Rx in the Cmd register
*before* configuring the descriptor addresses, but that would appear to
re-introduce the problem that the offending commit b01af457 was trying
to solve. And this variant appears to work fine on real hardware.

bb263e18f4 atp: remove set_rx_mode_8012()
Building atp.o triggers this GCC warning:

    drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/atp.c:871:26: warning: ‘mc_filter[0]’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

GCC is correct. In promiscuous mode 'mc_filter' will be used
uninitialized in set_rx_mode_8012(), which is apparently inlined into
set_rx_mode().

But it turns out set_rx_mode_8012() will never be called, since
net_local.chip_type will always be RTL8002. So we can just remove
set_rx_mode_8012() and do some related cleanups.

2e71a6f808 net: gro: selective flush of packets
Current GRO can hold packets in gro_list for almost unlimited
time, in case napi->poll() handler consumes its budget over and over.

In this case, napi_complete()/napi_gro_flush() are not called.

Another problem is that gro_list is flushed in non friendly way :
We scan the list and complete packets in the reverse order.
(youngest packets first, oldest packets last)
This defeats priorities that sender could have cooked.

Since GRO currently only store TCP packets, we dont really notice the
bug because of retransmits, but this behavior can add unexpected
latencies, particularly on mice flows clamped by elephant flows.

This patch makes sure no packet can stay more than 1 ms in queue, and
only in stress situations.

It also complete packets in the right order to minimize latencies.

 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic.  This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail.  Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

namespace changes.

aee77e4acc r8169: use unlimited DMA burst for TX
The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have
a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full
potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited.

The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl
(XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled.

I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput
on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024,
'7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results:
http://michich.fedorapeople.org/r8169/r8169-effects-of-TX_DMA_BURST.png

Interesting points:
 - With the current DMA burst limit (1024):
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s.
   - when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with
     increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's
     a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically
     again with further MTU increases.
 - With a smaller DMA burst limit (512):
   - there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564.
 - With unlimited DMA burst:
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s.
   - the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange
     peaks.

Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst
limit plus 52. Why 52? Because:
  20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52

The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too,
except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes.
CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B",
i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs
the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements.

eb2dc35d99 r8169: RxConfig hack for the 8168evl.
The 8168evl (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34) based Gigabyte GA-990FXA motherboards
are very prone to NETDEV watchdog problems without this change. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42899 for instance.

I don't know why it *works*. It's depressingly effective though.

For the record:
- the problem may go along IOMMU (AMD-Vi) errors but it really looks
  like a red herring.
- the patch sets the RX_MULTI_EN bit. If the 8168c doc is any guide,
  the chipset now fetches several Rx descriptors at a time.
- long ago the driver ignored the RX_MULTI_EN bit.
  e542a2269f changed the RxConfig
  settings. Whatever the problem it's now labeled a regression.
- Realtek's own driver can identify two different 8168evl devices
  (CFG_METHOD_16 and CFG_METHOD_17) where the r8169 driver only
  sees one. It sucks.

7dbb491878 r8169: avoid NAPI scheduling delay.
While reworking the r8169 driver a few months ago to perform the
smallest amount of work in the irq handler, I took care of avoiding
any irq mask register operation in the slow work dedicated user
context thread. The slow work thread scheduled an extra round of NAPI
work which would ultimately set the irq mask register as required,
thus keeping such irq mask operations in the NAPI handler.
It would eventually race with the irq handler and delay NAPI execution
for - assuming no further irq - a whole ksoftirqd period. Mildly a
problem for rare link changes or corner case PCI events.

The race was always lost after the last bh disabling lock had been
removed from the work thread and people started wondering where those
pesky "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages came from.

Actually the irq mask register _can_ be set up directly in the slow
work thread.

when register_netdev fails, the init'ed NAPIs by netif_napi_add must be
deleted with netif_napi_del, and also when driver unloads, it should
delete the NAPI before unregistering netdevice using unregister_netdev.

0bc777bca4 8139cp/8139too: terminate the eeprom access with the right opmode
Currently, we terminate the eeprom access through clearing the CS by:

RTL_W8 (Cfg9346, ~EE_CS); or writeb (~EE_CS, ee_addr);

This would left the eeprom into "Config. Register Write Enable:"
state which is not expcted as the highest two bits were set to
0x11 ( expected is the "Normal" mode (0x00)). Solving this by write
0x0 instead of ~EE_CS when terminating the eeprom access.

b01af4579e 8139cp: set ring address before enabling receiver
Currently, we enable the receiver before setting the ring address which could
lead the card DMA into unexpected areas. Solving this by set the ring address
before enabling the receiver.

btw. I find and test this in qemu as I didn't have a 8139cp card in hand. please
review it carefully.

477206a018 r8169: fix unsigned int wraparound with TSO
The r8169 may get stuck or show bad behaviour after activating TSO :
the net_device is not stopped when it has no more TX descriptors.
This problem comes from TX_BUFS_AVAIL which may reach -1 when all
transmit descriptors are in use. The patch simply tries to keep positive
values.

Tested with 8111d(onboard) on a D510MO, and with 8111e(onboard) on a
Zotac 890GXITX.
