Eliminate all the duplicate code for making Tx requests by
consolidating them into a single xennet_make_one_txreq() function.
xennet_make_one_txreq() and xennet_make_txreqs() work with pages and
offsets so it will be easier to make netfront handle highmem frags in
the future.

Each per bucket lock covers a configurable number of buckets. While
shrinking, two buckets in the old table contain entries for a single
bucket in the new table. We need to lock down both while linking.
Check if they are protected by different locks to avoid a recursive
lock.

tc code implicitly considers skb->protocol even in case of accelerated
vlan paths and expects vlan protocol type here. However, on rx path,
if the vlan header was already stripped, skb->protocol contains value
of next header. Similar situation is on tx path.
So for skbs that use skb->vlan_tci for tagging, use skb->vlan_proto instead.

This patch fixes the rx packet length check in the sunvnet driver to allow
for a TSO max packet length greater than the LDC channel negotiated MTU.
These are negotiated separately and there is no requirement that
port->tsolen be less than port->rmtu, but if it isn't, it'll drop packets
with rx length errors.

Not all architectures are able to call __builtin_return_address().
On ARM, the mISDN code produces this warning:
hardware/mISDN/w6692.c: In function 'w6692_dctrl':
hardware/mISDN/w6692.c:1181:75: warning: unsupported argument to '__builtin_return_address'

pr_debug("%s: %s dev(%d) open from %p\n", isac->name, __func__,
^
In a lot of cases, this is relatively easy to work around by
passing the value of __builtin_return_address(0) from the
callers into the functions that want it. One exception is
the indirect 'open' function call in struct isac_hw. While it
would be possible to fix this as well, this patch only addresses
the other callers properly and lets this one return the direct
parent function, which should be good enough.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-01-13
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
Mitch provides a fix for i40e to move the call to pci_disable_sriov() so
that it is called earlier to ensure that the PF driver won't free VF
resources before the VF remove routine can complete. Also cleans up
redundant and duplicate code in the i40evf. Refactors the i40evf
shutdown code and let the watchdog take care of shutting things down.
Fix a possible memory leak, if we are using VLANs and the communication
with the PF fail during shutdown. On some versions of the firmware, the
VF admin send queue may become stalled. In this case, the easiest
solution is to place another descriptor on the queue and the firmware
will then process both requests.
Greg adds a warning when the NPAR enabled partitions detected a link speed
less than 10 Gpbs.
Vasu removes redundant VN2VN MAC address which were already added by
the FCoE stack.
Shannon adds code to find how many partitions there are per port and
what is the current partition_id when in NPAR mode. In multifunction
mode, make sure we only allow SR/IOV on the master PF of a port and
only allow partition 1 to set WoL, speed and flow control.
Kamil adds code to read the PBA block from shadow RAM and returns
the part number in a string format.

changed before exiting link event

Make sure we only allow SR/IOV on the master PF of a port in multifunction
mode. This should be the case anyway based on the num_vfs configured in
the NVM, but this will help make sure there's no question. If we're not
in multifunction mode the partition_id will always be 1.

On some versions of the firmware, the VF admin send queue may become
stalled. In this case, the easiest solution is to just place another
descriptor on the queue; the firmware will then process both requests.
The early init code already accounts for this, but the runtime code does
not. In the watchdog task, check for the stall condition, and if it's
found, send our API version to the PF. When the PF replies, just ignore
the reply.

There is always a possibility that MSI-X interrupts can get lost. To
keep this problem from stalling the driver, we fire all of our MSI-X
vectors during the watchdog routine. However, we should not fire the
traffic vectors when the interface is closed. In this case, just fire
vector 0, which is used for admin queue events.
As a result, we do not enable the interrupt cause for vector 0. This
can cause the admin queue handler to be called reentrantly, which
causes a scary "critical section violation" message to be logged,
even though no real damage is done.

If the VF driver is running in the host, the shutdown code is completely
broken. We cannot wait in our down routine for the PF to respond to our
requests, as its admin queue task will never run while we hold the lock.
Instead, we schedule operations, then let the watchdog take care of
shutting things down. If the driver is being removed, then wait in the
remove routine until the watchdog is done before continuing.

These messages may be triggered during normal init of the driver if the

don't freak people out logging messages.
If the communication channel really is dead, then we'll retry a few
times and give up. This will log a different more scary message that
should cause consternation. This allows the user to more easily detect a
genuine failure.

If VF drivers are loaded in the host OS, the call to pci_disable_sriov()
will cause these drivers' remove routines to be called. If the PF driver
has already freed VF resources before this happens, then the VF remove
routine can't properly communicate with the PF driver causing all sorts
of mayhem and error messages and hurt feelings.
To fix this, we move the call to pci_disable_sriov() up to the top of
the function and let it complete before freeing any VF resources.

With TLP, the peer may reply to a probe with an
ACK+D-SACK, with ack value set to tlp_high_seq. In the current code,
such ACK+DSACK will be missed and only at next, higher ack will the TLP
episode be considered done. Since the DSACK is not present anymore,
this will cost a cwnd reduction.
This patch ensures that this scenario does not cause a cwnd reduction, since
receiving an ACK+DSACK indicates that both the initial segment and the probe
have been received by the peer.
The following packetdrill test, from Neal Cardwell, validates this patch:
// Establish a connection.

// Loss probe retransmission.
// packets_out == 1 => schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms)
// In this case, this means: 1.5*RTT + 200ms = 230ms

// Receiver ACKs at tlp_high_seq with a DSACK,

remove nl_sk_hash_lock from netlink socket
After tipc socket successfully avoids the involvement of an extra lock
with rhashtable_lookup_insert(), it's possible for netlink socket to
remove its hash socket lock now. But as netlink socket needs a compare
function to look for an object, we first introduce a new function
called rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() in commit #1 which is
implemented based on original rhashtable_lookup_insert(). We
subsequently remove nl_sk_hash_lock from netlink socket with the new
introduced function in commit #2. Lastly, as Thomas requested, we add
commit #3 to indicate the implementation of what the grow and shrink
decision function must enforce min/max shift.
v2:
As Thomas pointed out, there was a race between checking portid and
then setting it in commit #2. Now use socket lock to make the process
of both checking and setting portid atomic, and then eliminate the
race.

As rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() can guarantee the process

nl_sk_hash_lock. After this, object insertion or removal will
be protected with per bucket lock on write side while object
lookup is guarded with rcu read lock on read side.

Introduce a new function called rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert()
which is very similar to rhashtable_lookup_insert(). But the former
makes use of users' given compare function to look for an object,
and then inserts it into hash table if found. As the entire process
of search and insertion is under protection of per bucket lock, this
can help users to avoid the involvement of extra lock.

PATCH2: Michael.S.Tsirkin - Updated change comment message.
Changes from v3:
PATCH1: Michael.S.Tsirkin - Some cleanups and updated commit message.
Perf numbers on 10 Gbs NIC
Changes from v2:
PATCH 3: David Miller - flex array adds extra level of indirection
for preallocated array.(dropped, as flow array
is allocated using kzalloc with failover to zalloc).
Changes from v1:
PATCH 2: David Miller - sysctl changes to limit number of queues
not required for unprivileged users(dropped).
Changes from RFC
PATCH 1: Sergei Shtylyov - Add an empty line after declarations.
PATCH 2: Jiri Pirko - Do not introduce new module paramaters.
Michael.S.Tsirkin- We can use sysctl for limiting max number
of queues.
This series is to increase the number of tuntap queues. Original work is being
done by 'jasowang@redhat.com'. I am taking this 'https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/19/29'
patch series as a reference. As per discussion in the patch series:
There were two reasons which prevented us from increasing number of tun queues:
- The netdev_queue array in netdevice were allocated through kmalloc, which may
cause a high order memory allocation too when we have several queues.
E.g. sizeof(netdev_queue) is 320, which means a high order allocation would
happens when the device has more than 16 queues.
- We store the hash buckets in tun_struct which results a very large size of
tun_struct, this high order memory allocation fail easily when the memory is
fragmented.
The patch 60877a32bce00041528576e6b8df5abe9251fa73 increases the number of tx
queues. Memory allocation fallback to vzalloc() when kmalloc() fails.
This series tries to address following issues:
- Increase the number of netdev_queue queues for rx similarly its done for tx
queues by falling back to vzalloc() when memory allocation with kmalloc() fails.
- Increase number of queues to 256, maximum number is equal to maximum number
of vCPUS allowed in a guest.
I have also done testing with multiple parallel Netperf sessions for different
combination of queues and CPU's. It seems to be working fine without much increase
in cpu load with increase in number of queues. I also see good increase in throughput
with increase in number of queues. Though i had limitation of 8 physical CPU's.
For this test: Two Hosts(Host1 & Host2) are directly connected with cable
Host1 is running Guest1. Data is sent from Host2 to Guest1 via Host1.

Networking under kvm works best if we allocate a per-vCPU RX and TX
queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side.
It is now safe to increase the maximum number of queues.
Preceding patch: 'net: allow large number of rx queues'
made sure this won't cause failures due to high order memory
allocations. Increase it to 256: this is the max number of vCPUs
KVM supports.
Size of tun_struct changes from 8512 to 10496 after this patch. This keeps
pages allocated for tun_struct before and after the patch to 3.

netif_alloc_rx_queues() uses kcalloc() to allocate memory
for "struct netdev_queue *_rx" array.
If we are doing large rx queue allocation kcalloc() might
fail, so this patch does a fallback to vzalloc().
Similar implementation is done for tx queue allocation in
netif_alloc_netdev_queues().
We avoid failure of high order memory allocation
with the help of vzalloc(), this allows us to do large
rx and tx queue allocation which in turn helps us to
increase the number of queues in tun.
As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path,
__GFP_REPEAT flag is used with kzalloc() to do this fallback
only when really needed.

The deleted lines are called from a function which is called:
1) Only through __team_options_register via team_options_register and
2) Only during initialization / mode initialization when there are no
ports attached.
Therefore the ports list is guarenteed to be empty and this code will
never be executed.
