2010-02-27ixgbe: move TC_PRIO_CONTROL check into ixgbe_select_queue()John Fastabend
Move TC_PRIO_CONTROL check and queue remapping into ixgbe_select_queue(). Remapping queues after the qdisc can result in the wrong qdisc queue being stopped with netif_stop_subqueue(). Even if this is resolved and the correct queue is stopped it can result in a queue being blocked by TC_PRIO_CONTROL frames uneccesarily. Moving this into the select_queue routine maintains alignment between tx_rings and qdisc queues.

2010-02-26ixgbe: Do not allocate too many netdev txqueuesJohn Fastabend
Instead of allocating 128 struct netdev_queue per device, use the minimum value between 128 and the number of possible txq's, to reduce ram usage and "tc -s -d class shod dev .." output. This patch fixes Eric Dumazet's patch to set the TX queues to the correct minimum.

2010-02-26ixgbe: do not stop tx queues in ixgbe_set_tsoJohn Fastabend
Disabling TSO can cause the dev_watchdog timer to be triggered because when TSO is disabled netif_tx_stop_all_queues is called. If the watchdog timer fires while the queues are stopped and traffic has not recently been sent on a paticular queue this is falsly identified as a hang and ndo_tx_timeout() is called. This is ocossionally seen during testing. This removes the netif_tx_stop_all_queues() it is not needed. The scheduler submits skb's with dev_hard_start_xmit(), this checks if netif_needs_gso and if so it calls dev_gso_segment. Disabling TSO will cause dev_hard_start_xmit() to do the gso processing. However ixgbe does not use the features flags to determine if it needs to use tso or not instead it uses skb->gso_size so ixgbe will process these frames correctly regardless of the netdev features flag.

2010-02-26ixgbe: Fix DMA mapping/unmapping issues when HWRSC is enabled on IOMMU ↵Mallikarjuna R Chilakala
enabled kernels Work around 82599 HW issue when HWRSC is enabled on IOMMU enabled kernels. 82599 HW is updating the header information after setting the descriptor to done, resulting DMA mapping/unmapping issues on IOMMU enabled systems. To work around the issue delay unmapping of first packet that carries the header information until end of packet is reached.

2010-02-22ixgbe: prevent speculative processing of descriptors before readyMilton Miller
The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes to be ordered without adding an explicit barrier. In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data. With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it. The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header and data are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order we may have data that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use hardware checksumming this bad data is never verified and it makes it all the way to the application. This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has been shown to fix it.

2010-02-03ixgbe: Allocate driver resources per NUMA nodeJesse Brandeburg
The default policy for the current driver is to do all its memory allocation on whatever processor is running insmod/modprobe. This is less than optimal. This driver's default mode of operation will be to use each node for each subsequent transmit/receive queue. The most efficient allocation will be to then have the interrupts bound in such a way as to match up the interrupt of the queue to the cpu where its memory was allocated.

2010-02-03ixgbe: only process one ixgbe_watchdog_task at a time.John Fastabend
Processing multiple ixgbe_watchdog_task calls may cause the link_up variable and IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_UPDATE flag to be set incorrectly. In the worse case this is causing the netif_carrier_off to be called inappropriately which results in an interface that can't be brought up. Although schedule_work() will only schedule the task if it is not already on the work queue the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING bits are cleared just before calling the work function. This allows WORK_STRUCT_PENDING to be cleared, the work function to start and meanwhile schedule another task. This patch adds a mutex to the watchdog task. This bug is actualized by changing DCB settings or doing extended cable pull or reset tests.
