Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

2012-10-02T20:38:27+00:00

Pull networking changes from David Miller:

 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.

 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.

 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.

 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.

 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.

 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
    Borkmann.

 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.

    From Eric Dumazet.

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.

Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.

ptp: link the phc device to its parent device

2012-09-22T19:42:38+00:00

PTP Hardware Clock devices appear as class devices in sysfs. This patch
changes the registration API to use the parent device, clarifying the
clock's relationship to the underlying device.

igb: Use dma_unmap_addr and dma_unmap_len defines

2012-09-22T10:18:20+00:00

This change is meant to improve performance on systems that do not require
the DMA unmap calls.  On those systems we do not need to make use of the
unmap address for Tx or the unmap length so we can drop both thereby
reducing the size of the Tx buffer info structure.

In addition I have changed the logic to check for unmap length instead of
unmap address when checking to see if a buffer needs to be unmapped from
DMA use.  The reasons for this change is that on some platforms it is
possible to receive a valid DMA address of 0 from an IOMMU.

igb: Simplify how we populate the RSS key

2012-09-22T10:09:57+00:00

Instead of storing the RSS key as a character array we can simplify the
configuration by making it a u32 array.  This allows us to just write one
value per register without any unnecessary operations to construct the
value.

This change will produce the same exact key, the only difference is that I
translated the u8 array to a u32 array which will be correctly ordered on
writes to hardware by the cpu_to_le32 operations that are built into the
writel calls.

igb: Change how we populate the RSS indirection table

2012-09-22T10:01:00+00:00

This patch cleans up our RSS indirection table configuration so that we
generate the same table regardless of CPU endianness.  In addition it
changes the table setup so that instead of doing a modulo based setup it is
instead a divisor based setup.  The advantage to this is that we should be
able to take the Rx hash and compute the Rx queue with very little CPU
overhead if needed.

igb: Change Tx cleanup loop to do/while instead of for

2012-09-22T09:50:24+00:00

This change makes it so that Tx cleanup is done in a do/while loop instead
of a for loop.  The main motivation behind this is the fact that we should
never be invoked with a budget less than 1 so we can skip checking the
budget before processing the first descriptor.

igb: Remove logic that was doing NUMA pseudo-aware allocations

2012-09-22T09:17:18+00:00

This change removes the code that was doing the NUMA allocations for the
q_vectors, rings, and ring resources.  The problem is the logic used assumed
that the NUMA nodes were always interleved and that is not always the case.

At some point I hope to add this functionality back in a more controlled
manner in the future.

igb: Fix stats output on i210/i211 parts.

2012-09-22T08:49:41+00:00

Due to a hardware issue, on i210 and i211 parts, the TNCRS statistic
provides an invalid value.  This patch changes the update stats function
to increment the stat only for non-i210/i211 parts.

igb: Change how we check for pre-existing and assigned VFs

2012-09-22T08:38:31+00:00

Adapt the pre-existing and assigned VFs code to the ixgbe way introduced
in commit 9297127b9cdd8d30c829ef5fd28b7cc0323a7bcd.

Instead of searching the enabled VFs we use pci_num_vf to determine enabled VFs.
By comparing to which PF an assigned VF is owned it's possible to decide
whether to leave it enabled or not.

igb: Support to enable EEE on all eee_supported devices

2012-09-20T09:47:12+00:00

Current implementation enables EEE on only i350 device. This patch enables
EEE on all eee_supported devices. Also, configured LPI clock to keep
running before EEE is enabled on i210 and i211 devices.
