Commit 2613af0ed18a ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag
allocators") changed the mergeable receive buffer size from PAGE_SIZE to
MTU-size, introducing a single-stream regression for benchmarks with large
average packet size. There is no single optimal buffer size for all
workloads. For workloads with packet size <= MTU bytes, MTU + virtio-net
header-sized buffers are preferred as larger buffers reduce the TCP window
due to SKB truesize. However, single-stream workloads with large average
packet sizes have higher throughput if larger (e.g., PAGE_SIZE) buffers
are used.
This commit auto-tunes the mergeable receiver buffer packet size by
choosing the packet buffer size based on an EWMA of the recent packet
sizes for the receive queue. Packet buffer sizes range from MTU_SIZE +
virtio-net header len to PAGE_SIZE. This improves throughput for
large packet workloads, as any workload with average packet size >=
PAGE_SIZE will use PAGE_SIZE buffers.
These optimizations interact positively with recent commit
ba275241030c ("virtio-net: coalesce rx frags when possible during rx"),
which coalesces adjacent RX SKB fragments in virtio_net. The coalescing
optimizations benefit buffers of any size.
Benchmarks taken from an average of 5 netperf 30-second TCP_STREAM runs
between two QEMU VMs on a single physical machine. Each VM has two VCPUs
with all offloads & vhost enabled. All VMs and vhost threads run in a
single 4 CPU cgroup cpuset, using cgroups to ensure that other processes
in the system will not be scheduled on the benchmark CPUs. Trunk includes
SKB rx frag coalescing.
net-next w/ virtio_net before 2613af0ed18a (PAGE_SIZE bufs): 14642.85Gb/s
net-next (MTU-size bufs): 13170.01Gb/s
net-next + auto-tune: 14555.94Gb/s
Jason Wang also reported a throughput increase on mlx4 from 22Gb/s
using MTU-sized buffers to about 26Gb/s using auto-tuning.

The virtio-net driver currently uses netdev_alloc_frag() for GFP_ATOMIC
mergeable rx buffer allocations. This commit migrates virtio-net to use
per-receive queue page frags for GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This change unifies
mergeable rx buffer memory allocation, which now will use skb_refill_frag()
for both atomic and GFP-WAIT buffer allocations.
To address fragmentation concerns, if after buffer allocation there
is too little space left in the page frag to allocate a subsequent
buffer, the remaining space is added to the current allocated buffer
so that the remaining space can be used to store packet data.

It looks like there's no need for those two fields:
- Unless there's a failure for the first refill try, rq->max should be always
equal to the vring size.
- rq->num is only used to determine the condition that we need to do the refill,
we could check vq->num_free instead.
- rq->num was required to be increased or decreased explicitly after each
get/put which results a bad API.
So this patch removes them both to make the code simpler.

Currently, if a slave's name change, we just pass it by. However, if the
slave is a current primary_slave, then we end up with using a slave, whose
name != params.primary, for primary_slave. And vice-versa, if we don't have
a primary_slave but have params.primary set - we will not detected a new
primary_slave.
Fix this by catching the NETDEV_CHANGENAME event and setting primary_slave
accordingly. Also, if the primary_slave was changed, issue a reselection of
the active slave, cause the priorities have changed.

Now it catches the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU notification, which is signaled after
the actual change happened on the device, and returns NOTIFY_BAD, so that
the change on the device is reverted.
This might be quite costly and messy, so use the new NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU to
catch the MTU change before the actual change happens and signal that it's
forbidden to do it.

Ever since this driver was merged the following code was included:
if (skb->len < MISR)
skb->len = MISR;
MISR is defined to 0x3C which is also equivalent to ETH_ZLEN, but use
ETH_ZLEN directly which is exactly what we want to be checking for.

On newer and faster machines (Vortex X86DX) using the r6040 driver, it
was noticed that the driver was returning an error during probing traced
down to being the MDIO bus probing and the inability to complete a MDIO
read operation in time. It turns out that the MDIO operations on these
faster machines usually complete after ~2140 iterations which is bigger
than 2048 (MAC_DEF_TIMEOUT) and results in spurious timeouts depending
on the system load.
Update r6040_phy_read() and r6040_phy_write() to include a 1
micro second delay in each busy-looping iteration of the loop which is a
much safer operation than incrementing MAC_DEF_TIMEOUT.

In PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE and WOL(Wakeup On Lan) case, when the driver gets a
wakeup event, either the driver or platform specific PM code should notify
the pm core about it, so that the system can wakeup from low power.
In cases where there is no involvement of platform specific PM, it
becomes driver responsibility to notify the PM core to wakeup the
system.
Without this WOL with PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE does not work on STi based SOCs.

In hibernation freeze case the driver just releases the resources like
dma buffers, irqs, unregisters the drivers and during restore it does
register, request the resources. This is not really necessary, as part
of power management all the data structures are intact, all the
previously allocated resources can be used after coming out of low
power.
This patch uses the suspend and resume callbacks for freeze and
restore which initializes the hardware correctly without unregistering
or releasing the resources, this should also help in reducing the time
to restore.
Also this patch fixes a bug in stmmac_pltfr_restore and
stmmac_pltfr_freeze where it tries to get hold of platform data via
dev_get_platdata call, which would return NULL in device tree cases and
the next if statement would crash as there is no NULL check.

The driver PM resume assumes that the IP is still powered up and the
all the register contents are not disturbed when it comes out of low
power suspend case. This assumption is wrong, basically the driver
should not consider any state of registers after it comes out of low
power. However driver can keep the part of the IP powered up if its a
wake up source. But it can not assume the register state of the IP. Also
its possible that SOC glue layer can take the power off the IP if its
not wake-up source to reduce the power consumption.

calling dma_map_single()/dma_unmap_single() is quite expensive compared
to copying a small packet. So let's copy short frames and keep the buffers
mapped. We set the limit to 256 bytes which seems to give good results both
on the XP-GP board and on the AX3/4.
The Rx small packet rate increased by 16.4% doing this, from 486kpps to
573kpps. It is worth noting that even the call to the function
dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu() is expensive (300 ns) although less
than dma_unmap_single(). Without it, the packet rate raises to 711kpps
(+24% more). Thus on systems where coherency from device to CPU is
guaranteed by a snoop control unit, this patch should provide even more
gains, and probably rx_copybreak could be increased.

Make use of build_skb() to allocate frags on the RX path. When frag size
is lower than a page size, we can use netdev_alloc_frag(), and we fall back
to kmalloc() for larger sizes. The frag size is stored into the mvneta_port
struct. The alloc/free functions check the frag size to decide what alloc/
free method to use. MTU changes are safe because the MTU change function
stops the device and clears the queues before applying the change.
With this patch, I observed a reproducible 2% performance improvement on
HTTP-based benchmarks, and 5% on small packet RX rate.

Currently, mvneta_txq_bufs_free() calls mvneta_tx_done_policy() with
a non-null cause to retrieve the pointer to the next queue to process.
There are useless tests on the return queue number and on the pointer,
all of which are well defined within a known limited set. This code
path is fast, although not critical. Removing 3 tests here that the
compiler could not optimize (verified) is always desirable.

Right now the mvneta driver doesn't handle Tx IRQ, and relies on two
mechanisms to flush Tx descriptors : a flush at the end of mvneta_tx()
and a timer. If a burst of packets is emitted faster than the device
can send them, then the queue is stopped until next wake-up of the
timer 10ms later. This causes jerky output traffic with bursts and
pauses, making it difficult to reach line rate with very few streams.
A test on UDP traffic shows that it's not possible to go beyond 134
Mbps / 12 kpps of outgoing traffic with 1500-bytes IP packets. Routed
traffic tends to observe pauses as well if the traffic is bursty,
making it even burstier after the wake-up.
It seems that this feature was inherited from the original driver but
nothing there mentions any reason for not using the interrupt instead,
which the chip supports.
Thus, this patch enables Tx interrupts and removes the timer. It does
the two at once because it's not really possible to make the two
mechanisms coexist, so a split patch doesn't make sense.
First tests performed on a Mirabox (Armada 370) show that less CPU
seems to be used when sending traffic. One reason might be that we now
call the mvneta_tx_done_gbe() with a mask indicating which queues have
been done instead of looping over all of them.
The same UDP test above now happily reaches 987 Mbps / 87.7 kpps.
Single-stream TCP traffic can now more easily reach line rate. HTTP
transfers of 1 MB objects over a single connection went from 730 to
840 Mbps. It is even possible to go significantly higher (>900 Mbps)
by tweaking tcp_tso_win_divisor.

Marvell has not published the chip's datasheet yet, so it's very hard
to find the relevant bits to manipulate to change the IRQ behaviour.
Fortunately, these bits are described in the proprietary LSP patch set
which is publicly available here :
http://www.plugcomputer.org/downloads/mirabox/
So let's put them back in the driver in order to reduce the burden of
current and future maintenance.

Ben Hutchings attempted to propose a better fix consisting in using a
scheduled work for this, but while it fixed this panic, it caused other
random freezes and panics proving that the reset sequence in the driver
is unreliable and that additional fixes should be investigated.
When sending multiple streams over a link limited to 100 Mbps, Tx timeouts
happen from time to time, and the driver correctly recovers only when the
function is disabled.

Stats writers are mvneta_rx() and mvneta_tx(). They don't lock anything
when they update the stats, and as a result, it randomly happens that
the stats freeze on SMP if two updates happen during stats retrieval.
This is very easily reproducible by starting two HTTP servers and binding
each of them to a different CPU, then consulting /proc/net/dev in loops
during transfers, the interface should immediately lock up. This issue
also randomly happens upon link state changes during transfers, because
the stats are collected in this situation, but it takes more attempts to
reproduce it.
The comments in netdevice.h suggest using per_cpu stats instead to get
rid of this issue.
This patch implements this. It merges both rx_stats and tx_stats into
a single "stats" member with a single syncp. Both mvneta_rx() and
mvneta_rx() now only update the a single CPU's counters.
In turn, mvneta_get_stats64() does the summing by iterating over all CPUs
to get their respective stats.
With this change, stats are still correct and no more lockup is encountered.
Note that this bug was present since the first import of the mvneta
driver. It might make sense to backport it to some stable trees. If
so, it depends on "d33dc73 net: mvneta: increase the 64-bit rx/tx stats
out of the hot path".

Better count packets and bytes in the stack and on 32 bit then
accumulate them at the end for once. This saves two memory writes
and two memory barriers per packet. The incoming packet rate was
increased by 4.7% on the Openblocks AX3 thanks to this.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.
This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which
has been submitted separately.

The Tx head write-back registers are not cleared during an FLR or VF reset.
As a result a configuration that had head write-back enabled can leave the
registers set after the driver is unloaded. If the next driver loaded doesn't
use the write-back registers this can lead to a bad configuration where
head write-back is enabled, but the driver didn't request it.
To avoid this situation the PF should be resetting the Tx head write-back
registers when the VF requests a reset.

This change makes it so that the QDE bits are set for a VF before the Rx
queues are enabled. As such we avoid head of line blocking in the event
that the VF stops cleaning Rx descriptors for whatever reason.

This patch cleans-up wake-on-lan code in the following ways:
1) Removes some driver hacks in be_cmd_get_acpi_wol_cap() that were based
on incorrect assumptions.
2) Uses the adapter->wol_en and wol_cap variables for checking if WoL
is supported and enabled on an interface instead of referring to the
exclusion list via the macro be_is_wol_supported()
