The hardware can automatically generate pause frames when the number
of free buffers drops under a certain threshold, but in order to do this,
the address of the last free buffer needs to be written to a specific
register for each RX queue.
This has to be done in 'gfar_clean_rx_ring' which is called for each
RX queue. In order not to impact performance, by adding a register write
for each incoming packet, this operation is done only when the PAUSE frame
transmission is enabled.
Whenever the link is readjusted, this capability is turned on or off.

For the "fsl,etsec2" compatible models the driver currently
supports 8 Tx and Rx DMA rings (aka HW queues). However, there
are only 2 pairs of Rx/Tx interrupt lines, as these controllers
are integrated in low power SoCs with 2 CPUs at most. As a result,
there are at most 2 NAPI instances that have to service multiple
Tx and Rx queues for these devices. This complicates the NAPI
polling routine having to iterate over the mutiple Rx/Tx queues
hooked to the same interrupt lines. And there's also an overhead
at HW level, as the controller needs to service all the 8 Tx rings
in a round robin manner. The combined overhead shows up for multi
parallel Tx flows transmitted by the kernel stack, when the driver
usually starts returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY leading to NETDEV WATCHDOG
Tx timeout triggering if the Tx path is congested for too long.
As an alternative, this patch makes the driver support only one
Tx/Rx DMA ring per NAPI instance (per interrupt group or pair
of Tx/Rx interrupt lines) by default. The simplified single queue
polling routine (gfar_poll_sq) will be the default napi poll routine
for the etsec2 devices too. Some adjustments needed to be made to
link the Tx/Rx HW queues with each NAPI instance (2 in this case).
The gfar_poll_sq() is already successfully used by older SQ_SG_MODE
(single interrupt group) controllers.
This patch fixes Tx timeout triggering under heavy Tx traffic load
(i.e. iperf -c -P 8) for the "fsl,etsec2" (currently the only
MQ_MG_MODE devices). There's also a significant memory footprint
reduction by supporting 2 Rx/Tx DMA rings (at most), instead of 8,
for these devices.

There are some concurrency issues on devices w/ 2 CPUs related
to the handling of Rx and Tx interrupts. eTSEC has separate
interrupt lines for Rx and Tx but a single imask register
to mask these interrupts and a single NAPI instance to handle
both Rx and Tx work. As a result, the Rx and Tx ISRs are
identical, both are invoking gfar_schedule_cleanup(), however
both handlers can be entered at the same time when the Rx and
Tx interrupts are taken by different CPUs. In this case
spurrious interrupts (SPU) show up (in /proc/interrupts)
indicating a concurrency issue. Also, Tx overruns followed
by Tx timeout have been observed under heavy Tx traffic load.
To address these issues, the schedule cleanup ISR part has
been changed to handle the Rx and Tx interrupts independently.
The patch adds a separate NAPI poll routine for Tx cleanup to
be triggerred independently by the Tx confirmation interrupts
only. Existing poll functions are modified to handle only
the Rx path processing. The Tx poll routine does not need a
budget, since Tx processing doesn't consume NAPI budget, and
hence it is registered with minimum NAPI weight.
NAPI scheduling does not require locking since there are
different NAPI instances between the Rx and Tx confirmation
paths now.
So, the patch fixes the occurence of spurrious Rx/Tx interrupts.
Tx overruns also occur less frequently now.

The device reset procedure, stop_gfar()/startup_gfar(), has
concurrency issues.
"Kernel access of bad area" oopses show up during Tx timeout
device reset or other reset cases (like changing MTU) that
happen while the interface still has traffic. The oopses
happen in start_xmit and clean_tx_ring when accessing tx_queue->
tx_skbuff which is NULL. The race comes from de-allocating the
tx_skbuff while transmission and napi processing are still
active. Though the Tx queues get temoprarily stopped when Tx
timeout occurs, they get re-enabled as a result of Tx congestion
handling inside the napi context (see clean_tx_ring()). Not
disabling the napi during reset is also a bug, because
clean_tx_ring() will try to access tx_skbuff while it is being
de-alloc'ed and re-alloc'ed.
To fix this, stop_gfar() needs to disable napi processing
after stopping the Tx queues. However, in order to prevent
clean_tx_ring() to re-enable the Tx queue before the napi
gets disabled, the device state DOWN has been introduced.
It prevents the Tx congestion management from re-enabling the
de-congested Tx queue while the device is brought down.
An additional locking state, RESETTING, has been introduced
to prevent simultaneous resets or to prevent configuring the
device while it is resetting.
The bogus 'rxlock's (for each Rx queue) have been removed since
their purpose is not justified, as they don't prevent nor are
suited to prevent device reset/reconfig races (such as this one).

The RCTRL and TCTRL registers should not be changed
on-the-fly, while the controller is running, otherwise
unexpected behaviour occurs. But that's exactly what
gfar_vlan_mode() does, updating the VLAN acceleration
bits inside RCTRL/TCTRL. The attempt to lock these
operations doesn't help, but only adds to the confusion.
There's also a dependency for Rx FCB insertion (activating
/de-activating the TOE offload block on Rx) which might
change the required rx buffer size. This makes matters
worse as gfar_vlan_mode() ends up calling gfar_change_mtu(),
though the MTU size remains the same. Note that there are
other situations that may affect the required rx buffer size,
like changing RXCSUM or rx hw timestamping, but errorneously
the rx buffer size is not recomputed/ updated in the process.
To fix this, do the vlan updates properly inside the MAC
reset and reconfiguration procedure, which takes care of
the rx buffer size dependecy and the rx TOE block (PRSDEP)
activation/deactivation as well (in the correct order).
As a consequence, MTU/ rx buff size updates are done now
by the same MAC reset and reconfig procedure, so that out
of context updates to MAXFRM, MRBLR, and MACCFG inside
change_mtu() are no longer needed. The rx buffer size
dependecy to Rx FCB is now handled for the other cases too
(RXCSUM and rx hw timestamping).

gfar_halt() and gfar_start() are responsible for stopping
and starting the DMA and the Rx/Tx hw rings. They implement
the support for the "graceful Rx/Tx stop/start" hw procedure,
and also disable/enable eTSEC's hw interrupts in the process.
The GRS/GTS procedure requires however to have the RQUEUE/TQUEUE
registers cleared first and to wait for a period of time for the
current frame to pass through the interface (around ~10ms for a
jumbo frame). Only then may the GTS and GRS bits from DMACTRL be
set to shut down the DMA, and finally the Tx_EN and Rx_EN bits in
MACCFG1 may be cleared to disable the Tx/Rx blocks.
The same register programming order applies to start the Rx/Tx:
enabling the RQUEUE/TQUEUE *before* clearing the GRS/GTS bits.
This is a HW recommendation in order to avoid a possible
controller "lock up" during graceful reset.
Cleanup the gfar_halt()/start() prototypes, to take priv instead
of ndev as their purpose is to operate on HW. Enabling the
RQUEUE/TQUEUE in the hw_init() is not needed anymore since
that's the job of gfar_start().

Fix the amount of sent bytes reported to BQL by reporting the
number of bytes on wire in the xmit routine, and recording that
value for each skb in order to be correctly confirmed on Tx
confirmation cleanup.
Reporting skb->len to BQL just before exiting xmit is not correct
due to possible insertions of TOE block and alignment bytes in the
skb->data, which are being stripped off by the controller before
transmission on wire. This led to mismatch of (incorrectly)
reported bytes to BQL b/w xmit and Tx confirmation, resulting in
Tx timeout firing, for the h/w tx timestamping acceleration case.
There's no easy way to obtain the number of bytes on wire in the Tx

eTSEC has Rx and Tx flow control capabilities that may be enabled
through MACCFG1[Rx_Flow, Tx_Flow] bits. These bits must not be set

the driver currently sets these bits unconditionally.
This patch adds the proper handling of the PAUSE frame capability
register bits by implementing the ethtool -A interface. When pause
autoneg is enabled, the controller uses the phy's capability to
negotiate PAUSE frame settings with the link partner and reconfigures
its Rx_Flow and Tx_Flow settings to match the capabilities of the
link partner. If pause autoneg is off, the PAUSE frame generation
may be forced manually (ethtool -A). Flow control is disabled by
default now.

Split the napi budget fairly among the active queues only, instead

to identify the active rx queues from the current interrupt group
(i.e. receive event occured on ring i, if ring i is part of the current

allows us to find out on which queues of the same interrupt group
do we have incomming traffic once we entered the polling routine for
the given interrupt group. After servicing the ring i, the corresponding
bit RXFi will be written with 1 to clear the active queue indication for

This fixes a less obvious error on one hand, and prevents futher
similar errors by disambiguating and optimizing RxFCB indication,
on the other hand.
The error consists in NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX flag being used as an
indication of Rx FCB insertion. This happened as soon gfar_uses_fcb(),
which despite its name indicates Rx FCB insertion, started
incorporating is_vlan_on().
is_vlan_on(), on the other hand, is also a misleading construct because
we need to differentiate b/w hw VLAN extraction/VLEX (marked by VLAN_RX
flag) and hw VLAN insertion/VLINS (VLAN_TX flag), which are different
mechanisms using different types of FCBs.
The hw spec for the RxFCB feature is as follows:
In the case of RxBD rings, FCBs (Frame Control Block) are inserted by
the eTSEC whenever RCTRL[PRSDEP] is set to a non-zero value. Only one
FCB is inserted per frame (in the buffer pointed to by the RxBD with
bit F set). TOE acceleration for receive is enabled for all rx frames
in this case.
This patch introduces priv->uses_rxfcb field to quickly signal RxFCB
insertion in accordance with the specification above.
The dependency on FSL_GIANFAR_DEV_HAS_TIMER was also eliminated as
another source of confusion. The actual dependency is to priv->hwts_rx_en.
Upon changing priv->hwts_rx_en via IOCTL, the gfar device is being
restarted and on init_mac() the priv->hwts_rx_en flag determines RxFCB
insertion, and rctrl is programmed accordingly. The patch takes care
of this case too.
Though maybe not as self documenting as the inlining version uses_fcb(),
priv->uses_rxfcb has the main purpose to quickly signal, on the hot path,
that the incoming frame has a *Rx* FCB block inserted which needs to be
pulled out before passing the skb to the stack. This is a performance
critical operation, it needs to happen fast, that's why uses_rxfcb is
placed in the first cacheline of gfar_private.
This is also why a cached rctrl cannot be used instead: 1) because
we don't have 32 bits available in the first cacheline of gfar_priv
(but only 16); 2) bit operations are expensive on the hot path.

Group run-time critical fields within the 1st cacheline (32B)
followed by the tx|rx_queue reference arrays and the interrupt
group instances (gfargrp), all cacheline aligned.
This has several benefits. Firstly comes the performance benefit
by having the members required by the driver's hot path re-grouped
in the structure's first cache lines, whereas the unimportant
members were pushed towards the end of the struct.
Another benefit comes from eliminating a 24 byte memory hole that
was rendering gfar_priv's 2nd cacheline useless. The default gcc
layout of gfar_private leaves an implicit 24 byte hole after the
errata (enum) member. This patch fixes it.
The uchar bitfields were pushed towards the end of the struct
as these are not run-time performance critical (used for init
time operations). Because there is no other 2 byte member
around to couple the uchar bitfields memeber with, we will
have an addititnal 2 byte hole after the bitfields. This is
unsignificant however, and it doesn't influence gfar_priv's
size, because the whole structure is padded to be a 32B multiple.

The gfar_stats struct is only used in copying out data
via ethtool. It is declared as the extra stats, followed
by the rmon stats. However, the rmon stats are never
actually ever used in the driver; instead the rmon data
is a u32 register read that is cast directly into the
ethtool buf.
It seems the only reason rmon is in the struct at all is
to give the offset(s) at which it should be exported into
the ethtool buffer. But note gfar_stats doesn't contain
a gfar_extra_stats as a substruct -- instead it contains
a u64 array of equal element count. This implicitly means
we have two independent declarations of what gfar_extra_stats
really is. Rather than have this duality, we already have
defines which give us the offset directly, and hence do not
need the struct at all.
Further, since we know the extra_stats is unconditionally
always present, we can write it out to the ethtool buf
1st, and then optionally write out the rmon data. There
is no need for two independent loops, both of which are
simply copying out the extra_stats to buf offset zero.
This also helps pave the way towards allowing the extra
stats fields to be converted to atomic64_t values, without
having their types directly influencing the ethtool stats
export code (gfar_fill_stats) that expects to deal with u64.

There were two version strings, and neither one was being used.
Also in the same proximity were some unused #define that were
left over from the past. Delete them all.

The reorganization of the driver layout in drivers/net
left behind some stale paths in comments and in Kconfig
help text. Bring them up to date. No actual change to
any code takes place here.

When TX time stamping for PTP messages is enabled on a socket, a time
stamp is returned on the socket error queue to the user space application
after the frame was transmitted. The transmitted frame is also returned on
the error queue so that an application knows to which frame the time stamp
belongs.
In the current implementation the TxFCB is immediately followed by the
frame. Since the eTSEC inserts the TX time stamp 8 bytes after the TxFCB,
parts of the frame have been overwritten and an invalid frame was returned
on the socket error queue.
This patch fixes the described problem by adding additional 16 padding
bytes between the TxFCB and the frame for all messages sent from a time
stamping enabled socket (other sockets are not affected).

Move the Freescale drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
