sfc: Only use TX push if a single descriptor is to be written

2013-03-28T19:17:28Z

[ Upstream commit fae8563b25f73dc584a07bcda7a82750ff4f7672 ] Using TX push when notifying the NIC of multiple new descriptors in the ring will very occasionally cause the TX DMA engine to re-use an old descriptor. This can result in a duplicated or partly duplicated packet (new headers with old data), or an IOMMU page fault. This does not happen when the pushed descriptor is the only one written. TX push also provides little latency benefit when a packet requires more than one descriptor. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sfc: Disable soft interrupt handling during efx_device_detach_sync()

2013-03-28T19:17:27Z

[ Upstream commit 35205b211c8d17a8a0b5e8926cb7c73e9a7ef1ad ] efx_device_detach_sync() locks all TX queues before marking the device detached and thus disabling further TX scheduling. But it can still be interrupted by TX completions which then result in TX scheduling in soft interrupt context. This will deadlock when it tries to acquire a TX queue lock that efx_device_detach_sync() already acquired. To avoid deadlock, we must use netif_tx_{,un}lock_bh().

sfc: Detach net device when stopping queues for reconfiguration

2013-03-28T19:17:26Z

[ Upstream commit 29c69a4882641285a854d6d03ca5adbba68c0034 ] We must only ever stop TX queues when they are full or the net device is not 'ready' so far as the net core, and specifically the watchdog, is concerned. Otherwise, the watchdog may fire *immediately* if no packets have been added to the queue in the last 5 seconds. The device is ready if all the following are true: (a) It has a qdisc (b) It is marked present (c) It is running (d) The link is reported up (a) and (c) are normally true, and must not be changed by a driver. (d) is under our control, but fake link changes may disturb userland. This leaves (b). We already mark the device absent during reset and self-test, but we need to do the same during MTU changes and ring reallocation. We don't need to do this when the device is brought down because then (c) is already false. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sfc: Fix efx_rx_buf_offset() in the presence of swiotlb

2013-03-28T19:17:26Z

[ Upstream commits b590ace09d51cd39744e0f7662c5e4a0d1b5d952 and c73e787a8db9117d59b5180baf83203a42ecadca ] We assume that the mapping between DMA and virtual addresses is done on whole pages, so we can find the page offset of an RX buffer using the lower bits of the DMA address. However, swiotlb maps in units of 2K, breaking this assumption. Add an explicit page_offset field to struct efx_rx_buffer. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sfc: Properly sync RX DMA buffer when it is not the last in the page

2013-03-28T19:17:25Z

[ Upstream commit 3a68f19d7afb80f548d016effbc6ed52643a8085 ] We may currently allocate two RX DMA buffers to a page, and only unmap the page when the second is completed. We do not sync the first RX buffer to be completed; this can result in packet loss or corruption if the last RX buffer completed in a NAPI poll is the first in a page and is not DMA-coherent. (In the middle of a NAPI poll, we will handle the following RX completion and unmap the page *before* looking at the content of the first buffer.)

drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ptp.c: adjust duplicate test

2013-03-28T19:17:24Z

[ Upstream commit 56567c6f8751c633581ca7c8e1cf08eed503f5ea ] Delete successive tests to the same location. rc was previously tested and not subsequently updated. efx_phc_adjtime can return an error code, so the call is updated so that is tested instead. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @s exists@ local idexpression y; expression x,e; @@ *if ( \(x == NULL\|IS_ERR(x)\|y != 0\) ) { ... when forall return ...; } ... when != \(y = e\|y += e\|y -= e\|y |= e\|y &= e\|y++\|y--\|&y\) when != \(XT_GETPAGE(...,y)\|WMI_CMD_BUF(...)\) *if ( \(x == NULL\|IS_ERR(x)\|y != 0\) ) { ... when forall return ...; } // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.

drivers/net: fix up function prototypes after __dev* removals

2012-12-07T19:22:22Z

The __dev* removal patches for the network drivers ended up messing up the function prototypes for a bunch of drivers. This patch fixes all of them back up to be properly aligned. Bonus is that this almost removes 100 lines of code, always a nice surprise. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: remove __dev* attributes

2012-12-03T19:16:46Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As result the __dev* markings will be going away. Remove use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit. Signed-off-by: Bill Pemberton Cc: Solarflare linux maintainers Cc: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sfc: Make module parameters really boolean

2012-12-01T02:37:37Z

Most of the module parameters treated as boolean are currently exposed as type int or uint. Defining them with the proper type is useful documentation for both users and developers. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

sfc: Fix timekeeping in efx_mcdi_poll()

2012-12-01T02:37:36Z

efx_mcdi_poll() uses get_seconds() to read the current time and to implement a polling timeout. The use of this function was chosen partly because it could easily be replaced in a co-sim environment with a macro that read the simulated time. Unfortunately the real get_seconds() returns the system time (real time) which is subject to adjustment by e.g. ntpd. If the system time is adjusted forward during a polled MCDI operation, the effective timeout can be shorter than the intended 10 seconds, resulting in a spurious failure. It is also possible for a backward adjustment to delay detection of a areal failure. Use jiffies instead, and change MCDI_RPC_TIMEOUT to be denominated in jiffies. Also correct rounding of the timeout: check time > finish (or rather time_after(time, finish)) and not time >= finish. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings
