47b344b27a net: atl1c: add BQL support
This BQL implementation is mostly derived from its related driver, alx.
Tested on AR8131 (rev c0) [1969:1063]. Saturated a 100mbps link with 5
concurrent runs of netperf. Ping latency dropped from 14ms to 3ms.

138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

7a05dc64e2 alx: fix alx_poll()
Commit d75b1ade56 ("net: less interrupt masking in NAPI") uncovered
wrong alx_poll() behavior.

A NAPI poll() handler is supposed to return exactly the budget when/if
napi_complete() has not been called.

It is also supposed to return number of frames that were received, so
that netdev_budget can have a meaning.

Also, in case of TX pressure, we still have to dequeue received
packets : alx_clean_rx_irq() has to be called even if
alx_clean_tx_irq(alx) returns false, otherwise device is half duplex.

07641c8fa4 atl1c: Call dev_kfree/consume_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb.
The call path: atl1c_xmit_frame, atlc_tx_rollback, atl1c_clean_buffer

or other context, as atl1c_xmit_frame does not know.  So remove
the logic that  passes the compile time knowledge into al1c_clean_buffer

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_kfree_skb_any in atl1c_xmit_frame that

40dc9ab277 atl1e: enable support for NETIF_F_RXALL and NETIF_F_RXCRC features
This patch allows (optionally, via ethtool) the atl1e NIC to:
- Receive bad frames (runt, bad-fcs, etc..)
- Receive full frames without stripping the FCS.

This has been tested on my board by injecting runt and bad-fcs
frames with a FPGA-based device.

The particular scenario of receiving very short frames (<4 bytes)
without passing FCS to the upper layer has been also tested:
This could be potentially dangerous because the driver performs a
4 byte subtraction on the frame length, but I finally have NOT
added anything to avoid this because it seems the NIC always
discards frames so much short..
If someone still have some reason to worry about this, please
tell me.. I will add an explicit SW check..

Please try the following patch : It should use 2K frags instead of 4K
for normal 1500 mtu

Thanks !

[PATCH] atl1c: use custom skb allocator

We had reports ( https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021 )
that using high order pages for skb allocations is problematic for atl1c

We do not know exactly what the problem is, but we suspect that crossing
4K pages is not well supported by this hardware.

Use a custom allocator, using page allocator and 2K fragments for
optimal stack behavior. We might make this allocator generic
in future kernels.

fafb6ebe38 Revert "atl1c: Fix misuse of netdev_alloc_skb in refilling rx ring"
This reverts commit ebe7fdbaf3.

This change is not correct.  GFP_DMA is not necessary for
this device.

There is some other problem causing this bug.

ebe7fdbaf3 atl1c: Fix misuse of netdev_alloc_skb in refilling rx ring
atl1c uses netdev_alloc_skb to refill its rx dma ring, but that call makes no
guarantees about the suitability of the memory for use in DMA.  As a result
we've gotten reports of atl1c drivers occasionally hanging and needing to be
reset:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021

Fix this by modifying the call to use the internal version __netdev_alloc_skb,
where you can set the gfp_mask explicitly to include GFP_DMA.

Tested by two reporters in the above bug, who have the hardware to validate it.
Both report immediate cessation of the problem with this patch
