sfc: Downgrade or remove some error messages

2015-12-24T03:06:39+00:00

Depending on configuration the NIC may return errors for unprivileged
functions and/or VFs. Where these are expected and handled, reduce the
level of any output.

sfc: Downgrade EPERM messages from MCDI to debug

2015-12-24T03:06:39+00:00

When running in an unprivileged function we expect some MC commands
to fail with permission errors. To avoid log spew downgrade these to
debug only.

sfc: Make failed filter removal less noisy

2015-12-24T03:06:39+00:00

There are situations - mostly reset related - where our view of the
filter table differs from the hardware. In this case we may try and
remove filters that aren't actually installed. This isn't that
interesting in most situations, so downgrade the logging.

sfc: Handle MCDI proxy authorisation

2015-12-24T03:06:39+00:00

For unprivileged functions operations can be authorised by an admin
function. Extra steps are introduced to the MCDI protocol in this
situation - the initial response from the MCDI tells us that the
operation has been deferred, and we must retry when told. We then
receive an event telling us to retry.

Note that this provides only the functionality for the unprivileged
functions, not the handling of the administrative side.

sfc: Retry MCDI after NO_EVB_PORT error on a VF

2015-12-24T03:06:39+00:00

After reboot the vswitch configuration from the PF may not be
complete before the VF attempts to restore filters. In that
case we see NO_EVB_PORT errors from the MC. Retry up to a time
limit or until a different result is seen.

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

2015-12-18T03:08:28+00:00

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/geneve.c

Here we had an overlapping change, where in 'net' the extraneous stats
bump was being removed whilst in 'net-next' the final argument to
udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() was being changed.

net: Eliminate NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM and NETIF_F_V[46]_CSUM

2015-12-15T21:50:20+00:00

These netif flags are unnecessary convolutions. It is more
straightforward to just use NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, NETIF_F_IP_CSUM,
and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM directly.

This patch also:
    - Cleans up can_checksum_protocol
    - Simplifies netdev_intersect_features

net: Rename NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM to NETIF_F_CSUM_MASK

2015-12-15T21:50:08+00:00

The name NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM is a misnomer. This does not correspond to the
set of features for offloading all checksums. This is a mask of the
checksum offload related features bits. It is incorrect to set both
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM or NETIF_F_IPV6 at the same time for
features of a device.

This patch:
  - Changes instances of NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM to NETIF_F_CSUM_MASK (where
    NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM is being used as a mask).
  - Changes bonding, sfc/efx, ipvlan, macvlan, vlan, and team drivers to
    use NEITF_F_HW_CSUM in features list instead of NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

sfc: fix a timeout loop

2015-12-15T17:46:26+00:00

We test for if "tries" is zero at the end but "tries--" is a post-op so
it will end with "tries" set to -1.  I have changed it to a pre-op
instead.

sfc: only use RSS filters if we're using RSS

2015-12-12T05:26:18+00:00

Without this, filter insertion on a VF would fail if only one channel
was in use. This would include the unicast station filter and therefore
no traffic would be received.
