Our hw engineer suggets to set unlimited for both TX_DMA_BURST and RX_DMA_BURST
for all chipsets.

* [PATCH net-next v3 3/4] ipv6: use net->rt_genid to check dst validity
From: Nicolas Dichtel @ 2012-09-11 8:09 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: vyasevich, davem, eric.dumazet, sds, james.l.morris, eparis

IPv6 dst should take care of rt_genid too. When a xfrm policy is inserted or
deleted, all dst should be invalidated.
To force the validation, dst entries should be created with ->obsolete set to
DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK. This was already the case for all functions calling
ip6_dst_alloc(), except for ip6_rt_copy().
As a consequence, we can remove the specific code in inet6_connection_sock.

* [PATCH net-next v3 0/4] Take care of xfrm policy when checking dst entries
From: Nicolas Dichtel @ 2012-09-11 8:09 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: vyasevich, davem, eric.dumazet, sds, james.l.morris, eparis
Cc: sri, linux-sctp, netdev
In-Reply-To: <504DFF90.3010802@6wind.com>
The goal of these patches is to fix the following problem: a session is
established (TCP, SCTP) and after a new policy is inserted. The current
code does not recalculate the route, thus the traffic is not encrypted.
The patch propose to check flow_cache_genid value when checking a dst
entry, which is incremented each time a policy is inserted or deleted.
v2: use net->ipv4.rt_genid instead of flow_cache_genid (and thus save a test
in fast path). Also move it to net->rt_genid, to be able to use it for IPv6
too. Note that IPv6 will have one more test in fast path.
v3: remove unrelated "#ifdef CONFIG_XFRM" in IPv6 part
bump rt_genid in selinux code (same place than flow_cache_genid)
Patches are tested with TCP and SCTP, IPv4 and IPv6.
Comments are welcome.
Regards,
Nicolas

Agreed. I've added this check in ethtool and now, for example, I get the
following on un-supported setting
$ ethtool -C eth0 tx-usecs-irq 50
Cannot set device ring parameters: Operation not supported
$ ethtool -C eth0 tx-usecs-irq 0
tx-usecs-irq unmodified, ignoring
no ring parameters changed, aborting

This patch is to get/set the tx/rx coalesce parameters
via ethtool interface.
Tests have been done on several platform with
different GMAC chips w/o w/ RX watchdog feature.
V2: reject coalesce settings that are not supported.

* [net-next.git 6/8] stmmac: fix and review the rx irq path after adding new mitigation
From: Giuseppe CAVALLARO @ 2012-09-11 6:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Giuseppe Cavallaro
In-Reply-To: <1347346514-23411-1-git-send-email-peppe.cavallaro@st.com>
After adopting the new mitigation approach I have
found a couple of problems in the rx irq path.
The enable/disable_dma_irq functions now are used for
handling the DMA_INTR_ENA_RIE bit in the DMA register 7.
So this patch masks the specific bit in this register.
Also these function names have been changed (to make clear
their meaning).
A new extra statistic field has been added to show the early
receive status in the interrupt handler as well. This has been
useful on debugging stage, indeed.
In the end, this patch also adds an extra check to avoid to call
napi_schedule when the DMA_INTR_ENA_RIE bit is disabled in the
Interrupt Mask register.

* [net-next.git 4/8 (V3)] stmmac: add Rx watchdog support to mitigate the DMA irqs
From: Giuseppe CAVALLARO @ 2012-09-11 6:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Giuseppe Cavallaro
In-Reply-To: <1347346514-23411-1-git-send-email-peppe.cavallaro@st.com>
GMAC devices newer than databook 3.40 has an embedded timer
that can be used for mitigating the number of interrupts.
So this patch adds this optimizations.
At any rate, the Rx watchdog can be disable (on bugged HW) by
passing from the platform the riwt_off field.
In this implementation the rx timer stored in the Reg9 is fixed
to the max value. Next step will be to tune it via ethtool.
V2: added a platform parameter to force to disable the rx-watchdog
for example on new core where it is bugged.
V3: do not disable NAPI when Rx watchdog is used.

* [net-next.git 3/8 (V2)] stmmac: add the initial tx coalesce schema
From: Giuseppe CAVALLARO @ 2012-09-11 6:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Giuseppe Cavallaro
In-Reply-To: <1347346514-23411-1-git-send-email-peppe.cavallaro@st.com>
This patch adds a new schema used for mitigating the
number of transmit interrupts.
It is based on a sw timer and a threshold value.
The timer is used to periodically call the stmmac_tx
function that can be invoked by the ISR but only for
the descriptors where the interrupt on completion
field has been set. This is tuned by a threshold.
Next step is to add the ability to tune these coalesce
values by ethtool.
Till now I have put a default that showed a real gain
on all the platforms ARM/SH4 where I performed benchmarks.
V2: review the logic to manage the IC bit in the TDESC
that was bugged because it didn't take care about the
fragments. Also fix the tx_count_frames that has not to be
limited to TX DMA ring. Thanks to Ben Hutchings.

* [net-next.git 2/8 (V2)] stmmac: manage tx clean out of rx_poll
From: Giuseppe CAVALLARO @ 2012-09-11 6:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Giuseppe Cavallaro
In-Reply-To: <1347346514-23411-1-git-send-email-peppe.cavallaro@st.com>
This patch is to invoke the stmmac_tx (tx handler)
out of the NAPI poll method.
This will make easier the next step to add the new
mitigation schema.
Also the patch enhances the ethtool to report some
stats for normal TX and RX IRQs.
V2: use status & handle_rx/tx

* [net-next.git 1/8] stmmac: remove dead code for TIMER
From: Giuseppe CAVALLARO @ 2012-09-11 6:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Giuseppe Cavallaro
In-Reply-To: <1347346514-23411-1-git-send-email-peppe.cavallaro@st.com>
TIMER option is not longer supported and this
code can be considered dead for this driver in
the new kernel series.
In fact, It was not updated at all and never used.

* [net-next.git 0/8 (V4)] stmmac: remove dead code for STMMAC_TIMER and add new mitigation schema
From: Giuseppe CAVALLARO @ 2012-09-11 6:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Giuseppe Cavallaro
These patch series remove the STMMAC_TIMER option no longer updated
and never used and add a new mitigation schema.
Having removed the Timer opt, this has made the driver slim.
On top of this work, it has been easier to introduce the new
mitigation schema based on HW RX-watchdog (available in new cores).
In fact, 3.50 and newer cores have an HW RX-Watchdog that can be used for
mitigating the Rx-interrupts and first results look promising.
Running n-u-t-t-c-p with the following parameters:
Throughput: 500Mbps
UDP Buffer size: 1328bytes
TCP Buffer size: 65536bytes
for example, I got on ST box (arm-based) these improvements:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Original | With New Mitigation patch
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Test CPU usage pkt/loss | CPU usage pkt/loss
Type Mbps % % |Mbps % %
--------------------------------------------------------------------
UDP-RX 395.5065 95 20.89 |499.9552 23 0.00
UDP-TX 499.5578 100 0.08915 |500.0152 100 0.00
TCP-RX 499.9221 77 |499.9217 27
TCP-TX 389.5719 99 |499.9171 80
--------------------------------------------------------------------
... no regression on ST boxes (SH based) I always test.
This is a brief explanation of the new mitigation schema although there
is a patch that updates the driver's documentation.
o On Rx-side I have:
New GMACs will use the RX-watchdog timer; old ones will continue to
use NAPI to mitigate the RX DMA interrupts.
For the RX-watchdog, there is a parameter that is the RI Watchdog
Timer count. It indicates the number of system clock cycles and can be
set via *ethtool*.
o On Tx-side, the mitigation schema is based on a SW timer
that calls the tx function (stmmac_tx) to reclaim the resource after
transmitting the frames.
Also there is another parameter (a threshold) used to program
the descriptors avoiding to set the interrupt on completion bit in
when the frame is sent (xmit). This means that the stmmac_tx can be
called by the ISR too. Also this parameter can be tuned via ethtool.
V2: these patches add the ethtool support to get/set coalesce parameters
and totally remove the sysFS support added in the first patches.
V3: added several fixes: for example NAPI and RX-watchdog work together
while in the previous implementation the HW RX-watchdog disabled NAPI.
On the tx side, erroneously the tx coalesce frame parameter was limited
to the ring size and the driver didn't take care of the segment numbers
when enable/disable the IC bit in the TDES.
V4: reject not supported coalesce settings in ethtool.
Giuseppe Cavallaro (8):
stmmac: remove dead code for TIMER
stmmac: manage tx clean out of rx_poll
stmmac: add the initial tx coalesce schema
stmmac: add Rx watchdog support to mitigate the DMA irqs
stmmac: get/set coalesce parameters via ethtool
stmmac: fix and review the rx irq path after adding new mitigation
stmmac: update the doc with new IRQ mitigation
stmmac: update the driver version to Sept_2012

Most of the changes in this file does not fit the patch description.
You could as well make a separate patch dedicated to removing unused stuff.

The topic of the patch does not ask for a change here and these lines
don't even appear in the context diff of such changes. It could be
isolated in a separate patch (where you would probably be suggested to
remove the useless parenthesis in "(TA_CTL_START | TA_CTL_ENABLE)" as well).

It is not used in this patch. #2 adds a declaration for it in qlcnic.h, a
function pointer for it in qlcnic_hardware_ops, then uses it. #5 renames
it to qlcnic_82xx_get_func_no.
Reviewers won't complain if you keep the patchset at the smallest size
for a given set of changes, especially as the qlcnic_82xx_ prefix is
used a few lines below.

Either it's hidden behind some clever macro or it isn't used at all in

You should really consider aligning as:
static struct qlcnic_nic_template qlcnic_ops = {
.config_bridged_mode = qlcnic_82xx_config_bridged_mode,
.config_led = qlcnic_82xx_config_led,
.start_firmware = qlcnic_82xx_start_firmware
};

Right, mostly these machines where the Pegasos. Those came with a fairly
busted variant of Open Firmware which generated a pretty gross
device-tree.
For some reason, the manufacturer of those things was never willing to
fix anything in their firmware (despite the distributor providing
patches etc...), seemingly on the assumption that whatever they were
doing was perfect and operating system people like us didn't matter one
little bit :-)
So I don't care much about it. It would be nice to keep them working
since people in the community still have them but if it goes through
some "compat" code that detects old/broken device-trees and eventually
disappears when we finally drop support, then so be it.
Cheers,
Ben.

If you change the declaration of p from "char *p" into "const char *p"
you won't need a cast in the above for loop.

As far as I know sysfs doesn't terminate buf with a '\0' before calling
a store method. Does that mean that you are passing a string that is not
'\0'-terminated to a function that expects a '\0'-terminated string ?

Prevent updating the xmac PFC configuration when using a link speed
slower than 10G -the umac block is responsible for 1G or slower connections,
therefore it is possible the xmac block is reset when connection is slower.
