The netif_rx() call on the fast path of macvlan_handle_frame() appears to
be there to ensure that we properly throttle incoming packets. However, it
would appear as though the proper throttling is already in place for all
possible ingress paths, and that the call is redundant. If packets are arriving
from the physical NIC, we've already throttled them by this point. Otherwise,
if they are coming via macvlan_queue_xmit(), it calls either
'dev_forward_skb()', which ends up calling netif_rx_internal(), or else in
the broadcast case, we are throttling via macvlan_broadcast_enqueue().
The test results below are from off the box to an lxc instance running macvlan.
Once the tranactions/sec stop increasing, the cpu idle time has gone to 0.
Results are from a quad core Intel E3-1270 V2@3.50GHz box with bnx2x 10G card.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Most notable changes in here:
1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.
Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.
skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.
There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.
Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.
Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_net
Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.
I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.
2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.
3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From
Govindarajulu Varadarajan.
4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.
5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
Dumazet.
6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom
Herbert.
7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
Fainelli.
8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.
9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John
Fastabend.
10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
Duyck.
11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
Dumazet.
12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From
Florian Westphal.
13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly

The tx_desc struct holds 8 __be64 values. The original code in
ring_tx_db() took a tx_desc pointer then casted it to an int pointer and
then casted it to a u64 pointer. It was confusing and triggered some
static checker warnings.
I have changed the cxgb_pio_copy() function to only take tx_desc
pointers. This isn't really a loss of flexibility because anything else
was buggy to begin with.

'perf annotate' shows that the time spent in fs_enet_start_xmit is indeed spent
between spin_unlock_irqrestore() and the following instruction, hence in
interrupt handling. This is due to the TX complete interrupt that fires after
each transmitted packet.
This patch modifies the handling of TX complete to use NAPI.

RTL8168EP is Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller with DASH support.
It is a successor chip of RTL8168DP.

Currently the allowed "respose rate" set (rates for HW generated frames
like ACKs) is the same as the basic rate set.
The HW will use the higher allowed response rate that is lower than the
rate of the received frame.
This is more or less what IEEE80211 mandates, but I missed the fact
that IEEE80211 also says that whenever it happens that for a modulation
class there is no any rate in the basic rates set, then the response rate
set shall include also all the mandatory rates for that modulation class.
This patch adds mandatory OFDM rates to the allowed response rate set if
no OFDM rate is included in the basic rate set.
Depending by the AP, I faced cases in which this patch seems to cause a
noticeable perfomance improvement.
- With my usual test AP there is no particular perfomance difference.
- With a prism54/hostapd AP this patch causes RX thoughput increase from
about 5Mbps to about 20Mbps.
Hopefully this patch may help people that faced performance regression wrt
the old staging driver.

Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.
This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.
Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
netif_keep_dst(dev);
Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

Drivers should avoid NETDEV_TX_BUSY as much as possible.
They should stop the tx queue before qdisc even tries to push another
packet, to avoid requeues.
For a driver supporting skb->xmit_more, this is likely to be a prereq
anyway, otherwise we could have a tx deadlock : We need to force a
doorbell if TX ring is full.

In commit 6f2b6a3005,
# 3c59x: Add dma error checking and recovery
the intent is to split out the mapping from the byte-swapping in order to
insert a dma_mapping_error() check.
Kinda this semantic patch:
// See http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/
//
// Beware, grouik-and-dirty!
@@
expression DEV, X, Y, Z;
@@
- cpu_to_le32(pci_map_single(DEV, X, Y, Z))
+ dma_addr_t addr = pci_map_single(DEV, X, Y, Z);
+ if (dma_mapping_error(&DEV->dev, addr))
+ /* snip */;
+ cpu_to_le32(addr)
However, the #else part (of the #if DO_ZEROCOPY test) is changed this way:
- cpu_to_le32(pci_map_single(DEV, X, Y, Z))
+ dma_addr_t addr = cpu_to_le32(pci_map_single(DEV, X, Y, Z));
// ^^^^^^^^^^^
// That mismatches the 3 other changes!
+ if (dma_mapping_error(&DEV->dev, addr))
+ /* snip */;
+ cpu_to_le32(addr)
Let's remove the leftover cpu_to_le32() for coherency.
v2: Better changelog.

GENET MAC has three Tx ring priority registers:
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY0 for queues 0-5
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY1 for queues 6-11
- GENET_x_TDMA_PRIORITY2 for queues 12-16
Fix bcmgenet_init_multiq() to program them correctly.
