Olivier reported a difference between the EIFS
values used in the legacy driver and the one in
the rt2x00 drivers.
In rt2x00 the value was
( SIFS + (8 * (IEEE80211_HEADER + ACK_SIZE)) )
which comes down to 314us while the legacy driver uses the value 364us
This was caused because EIFS is: SIFS + DIFS + AckTime
This patch will fix this by adding the DIFS by the above value,
and creating a SHORT_EIFS define which uses the SHORT_DIFS.

Make sure that the irq is not in progress after stop. This means
two things:
- ensure the intr setting register is set by flushing posted values
- call synchronize_irq() after that
Also flush stop tx write, inform callers of the tx stop about still
pending transfers (unsuccessful stop) and finally don't wait another
3ms in ath5k_rx_stop, since ath5k_hw_stop_rx_dma ensures transfer to
be finished.

When signal is noisy, hardware can use all RX buffers and since the last
entry in the list is self-linked, it overwrites the entry until we link
new buffers.
Ensure that we don't free this last one until we are 100% sure that it
is not used by the hardware anymore to not cause memory curruption as
can be seen below.
This is done by checking next buffer in the list. Even after that we
know that the hardware refetched the new link and proceeded further
(the next buffer is ready) we can finally free the overwritten buffer.
We discard it since the status in its descriptor is overwritten (OR-ed
by new status) too.

If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will
pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to
see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or
otherwise pinning a reference to the page.
This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the
whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something
else, we must be able to free it with a put_page).
Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the
page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need
an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page
in either case.
This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie.
adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make
it work).
Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting
page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to
hold off speculative getters.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

Enable ibmveth for Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO). For this driver
it means calculating a desired amount of IO memory based on the current MTU
and updating this value with the bus when MTU changes occur. Because DMA
mappings can fail, we have added a bounce buffer for temporary cases where
the driver can not map IO memory for the buffer pool.
The following changes are made to enable the driver for CMO:
* DMA mapping errors will not result in error messages if entitlement has
been exceeded and resources were not available.
* DMA mapping errors are handled gracefully, ibmveth_replenish_buffer_pool()
is corrected to check the return from dma_map_single and fail gracefully.
* The driver will have a get_desired_dma function defined to function
in a CMO environment.
* When the MTU is changed, the driver will update the device IO entitlement

If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):
Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds
Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
that from 128 to 2048:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds
If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds
This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
have a separate "small buffer" queue.

Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
to sending them. This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO
case. For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb
and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of
preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that
we could have sent it after all. Poor wee skb :)
How about the incremental patch below?
Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs
Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a
queued buffer and fail to transmit it.
However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
is a chance space might become available for it.

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:
u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.
Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

Although mv643xx_eth has no hardware support for inserting a vlan
tag by twiddling some bits in the TX descriptor, it does support
hardware TX checksumming on packets where the IP header starts {a
limited set of values other than 14} bytes into the packet.
This patch sets mv643xx_eth's ->vlan_features to NETIF_F_SG |
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM, which prevents the stack from checksumming vlan'ed
packets in software, and if vlan tags are present on a transmitted
packet, notifies the hardware of this fact by toggling the right
bits in the TX descriptor.

When there is a link status change (link or phy status interrupt),
print a message notifying the user of the new link status.
Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
The mv643xx_eth hardware has a provision for polling the PHY's
MII management registers to obtain the (R)(G)MII interface speed
(10/100/1000) and duplex (half/full) and pause (off/symmetric)
settings to use to talk to the PHY.
The driver currently does not make use of this feature. Instead,
whenever there is a link status change event, it reads the current
link parameters from the PHY, and programs those parameters into
the mv643xx_eth MAC by hand.
This patch switches the mv643xx_eth driver to letting the MAC
auto-determine the (R)(G)MII link parameters by PHY polling, if there
is a PHY present. For PHYless ports (when e.g. the (R)(G)MII
interface is connected to a hardware switch), we keep hardcoding the
MII interface parameters.

The mv643xx_eth driver is limiting DMA bursts to 32 bytes, while
using the largest burst size (128 bytes) gives a couple percentage
points performance improvement in throughput tests, and the docs
say that the 128 byte default should not need to be changed, so
use 128 byte bursts instead.

The recommended sequence for waiting for the transmit path to clear
after disabling all of the transmit queues is to wait for the
TX_FIFO_EMPTY bit in the Port Status register to become set as well
as the TX_IN_PROGRESS bit to clear.

The maximum receive packet size field in the Port Serial Control
register controls at what size received packets are flagged
overlength in the receive descriptor, but it doesn't prevent
overlength packets from being DMAd to memory and signaled to the
host like other received packets.
mv643xx_eth does not support receiving jumbo frames in 10/100 mode,
but setting the packet threshold to larger than 1522 bytes in 10/100
mode won't cause breakage by itself.
If we really want to enforce maximum packet size on the receiving
end instead of on the sending end where it should be done, we can
always just add a length check to the software receive handler
instead of relying on the hardware to do the comparison for us.
What's more, changing the maximum packet size field requires
temporarily disabling the RX/TX paths. So once the link comes
up in 10/100 Mb/s mode or 1000 Mb/s mode, we'd have to disable it
again just to set the right maximum packet size field (1522 in
10/100 Mb/s mode or 9700 in 1000 Mb/s mode), just so that we can
offload one comparison operation to hardware that we might as well
do in software, assuming that we'd want to do it at all.
Contrary to what the documentation suggests, there is no harm in
just setting a 9700 byte maximum packet size in 10/100 mode, so use
the maximum maximum packet size for all modes.

The mv643xx_eth driver allows doing transmit reclaim from within the
napi poll routine, but after doing reclaim, it would forget to check
the free transmit descriptor count and wake up the transmit queue if
the reclaim caused enough descriptors for a new packet to become
available. This would cause the netdev watchdog to occasionally kick
in during certain workloads with combined receive and transmit traffic.
Fix this by adding a wakeup check identical to the one in the
interrupt handler to the napi poll routine.

When the ethernet link goes down while mv643xx_eth is transmitting
data, transmit DMA can stop before all queued transmit descriptors
have been processed. But even the descriptors that _have_ been
processed might not be properly marked as done before the transmit
DMA unit shuts down.
Then when the link comes up again, the hardware transmit pointer
might have advanced while not all previous packet descriptors have
been marked as transmitted, causing software transmit reclaim to
hang waiting for the hardware to finish transmitting a descriptor
that it has already skipped.
This patch forcibly reclaims all packets on the transmit ring on a
link down interrupt, and then resyncs the hardware transmit pointer to
what the software's idea of the first free descriptor is. Also, we
need to prevent re-waking the transmit queue if we get a 'transmit
done' interrupt at the same time as a 'link down' interrupt, which
this patch does as well.

The previously merged TX hang erratum workaround ("mv643xx_eth:
work around TX hang hardware issue") assumes that TX_END interrupts
are delivered simultaneously with or after their corresponding TX
interrupts, but this is not always true in practise.
In particular, it appears that TX_END interrupts are issued as soon
as descriptor fetch returns an invalid descriptor, which may happen
before earlier descriptors have been fully transmitted and written
back to memory as being done.
This hardware behavior can lead to a situation where the current
driver code mistakenly assumes that the MAC has given up transmitting
before noticing the packets that it is in fact still currently working
on, causing the driver to re-kick the transmit queue, which will only
cause the MAC to re-fetch the invalid head descriptor, and generate
another TX_END interrupt, et cetera, until the packets in the pipe
finally finish transmitting and have their descriptors written back
to memory, which will then finally break the loop.
Fix this by having the erratum workaround not check the 'number of
unfinished descriptor', but instead, to compare the software's idea
of what the head descriptor pointer should be to the hardware's head
descriptor pointer (which is updated on the same conditions as the
TX_END interupt is generated on, i.e. possibly before all previous
descriptors have been transmitted and written back).
