Currently, the receive processing reads ->byte_cnt twice (once to update interface statistics and once to properly size the data area of the received skb), but since receive descriptors live in uncached memory, caching this value in a local variable saves one uncached access, and increases routing performance a tiny little bit more.

Since the size of the receive queue is directly related to the data cache footprint of the driver (between refilling a receive ring entry with a fresh skb and receiving a packet in that entry, queue_size - 1 other skbs will have been touched), shrink the default receive queue size to a saner number of entries, as 400 is definite overkill for almost all workloads. While we are at it, trim the default transmit queue size a bit as well. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

Get rid of the skb pointer array that we currently use for transmit reclaim, and replace it with an skb queue, to which skbuffs are appended when they are passed to the xmit function, and removed from the front and freed when we do transmit queue reclaim and hit a descriptor with the 'owned by device' bit clear and 'last descriptor' bit set.

By moving DMA unmapping during transmit reclaim back under the netif tx lock, we avoid the situation where we read the DMA address and buffer length from the descriptor under the lock and then not do anything with that data after dropping the lock on platforms where the DMA unmapping routines are all NOPs (which is the case on all ARM platforms that mv643xx_eth is used on at least). This saves two uncached reads, which makes a small but measurable performance difference in routing benchmarks. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

Since our ->hard_start_xmit() method is already called under spinlock protection (the netif tx queue lock), we can simply make that lock cover the private transmit state (descriptor ring indexes et al.) as well, which avoids having to use a private lock to protect that state. Since this was the last user of the driver-private spinlock, it can be killed off. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

Move link status handling, transmit reclaim and TX_END handling from the interrupt handler to the napi poll handler. This allows switching ->lock over to a non-IRQ-safe lock and removes all explicit interrupt disabling from the driver. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

As all the infrastructure for multiple transmit queues already exists in the driver, this patch is entirely trivial. The individual transmit queues are still serialised by the driver's per-port private spinlock, but that will disappear (i.e. be replaced by the per-subqueue ->_xmit_lock) in a subsequent patch.

Delete a couple of unused and uninteresting interrupt source mask bits: - The receive resource underrun interrupt sources are uninteresting because if we are in out-of-memory mode, we are already dealing with the issue, and we don't need the hardware to remind us again that we are out of memory. - The LINK and PHY interrupt sources can be coalesced into one define, since we always use them together. - The transmit resource underrun interrupt source can be disabled since we never activate the head descriptor of a paged skb until the fragments are all activated, so transmit underrun during a packet should never happen. - The INT_EXT_TX_0 define is never used.

There is no need to call netif_{stop,wake}_queue() when the link goes down/up, as the networking already takes care of this internally. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

Currently, there are two different fields in the mv643xx_eth_platform_data struct that together describe the PHY address -- one field (phy_addr) has the address of the PHY, but if that address is zero, a second field (force_phy_addr) needs to be set to distinguish the actual address zero from a zero due to not having filled in the PHY address explicitly (which should mean 'use the default PHY address'). If we are a bit smarter about the encoding of the phy_addr field, we can avoid the need for a second field -- this patch does that. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

Which top-level unit's SMI interface to use should be a property of the top-level unit, not of the individual ports. This patch moves the ->shared_smi pointer from the per-port platform data to the global platform data. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

Get rid of the mv643xx_eth-internal MV643XX_ETH_CHECKSUM_OFFLOAD_TX compile-time option. Using transmit checksumming is the sane default, and anyone wanting to disable it should use ethtool(8) instead of recompiling their kernels. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

By having the receive out-of-memory handling timer schedule the napi poll handler and then doing oom processing from the napi poll handler, all code that touches receive state moves to napi context, letting us get rid of all explicit locking in the receive paths since the only mutual exclusion we need anymore at that point is protection against reentering ourselves, which is provided by napi synchronisation.

If the platform code has passed us the IRQ number of the mv643xx_eth top-level error interrupt, use the error interrupt to wait for SMI access completion instead of polling the SMI busy bit, since SMI bus accesses can take up to tens of milliseconds.

Since commit 81600eea ("mv643xx_eth: use auto phy polling for configuring (R)(G)MII interface"), mv643xx_eth no longer does SMI accesses from interrupt context. The only other callers that do SMI accesses all do them from process context, which means we can switch the PHY lock from a spinlock to a mutex, and get rid of the extra locking in some ethtool methods.

Using just 'unsigned' will make flags an unsigned int. While this is arguably not an error on blackfin where sizeof(int) == sizeof(long), the patch is still justified on the grounds of principle.

When sysctl_sched_rt_runtime is set to something other than -1 and the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED kernel parameter is NOT enabled, we get into a state where we see one or more CPUs idling forvever even though there are real-time tasks in their rt runqueue that are able to run (no longer throttled). The sequence is: - A real-time task is running when the timer sets the rt runqueue to throttled, and the rt task is resched_task()ed and switched out, and idle is switched in since there are no non-rt tasks to run on that cpu. - Eventually the do_sched_rt_period_timer() runs and un-throttles the rt runqueue, but we just exit the timer interrupt and go back to executing the idle task in the idle loop forever. If we change the sched_rt_rq_enqueue() routine to use some of the code from the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled version of this same routine and resched_task() the currently executing task (idle in our case) if it is a lower priority task than the higher rt task in the now un-throttled runqueue, the problem is no longer observed.

Some DVB adapters do not support the special I2C transaction that we use for probing purposes. There's no point in logging this event, as there's nothing the user can do and in general there is no actual problem. So, degrade one of these messages to a debug message, and move the other one around so that it is only printed on bogus drivers.

The bonds check to prevent buffer overlflow was not exactly right. It still allowed overflow of up to 8 bytes which is sizeof(struct sctp_authkey).
