Matt Carlson 1407deb1a9 tg3: 5717_PLUS => 57765_PLUS
The 57765 arrived before the 5717 and has a subset of the features
supported by the 5717.  This patch renames the 5717_PLUS flag so that it
can be reintroduced to designate only 5717 and later devices.

Hardcoded values are used in multiple places to describe the maximum rx

Tom Herbert c6e1a0d12c net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmit
This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data
cache for a performance improvement.  skb_add_data_nocache and
skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use
this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg.  This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.

Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data.  The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary.  For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.

This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply.  Platform is 16 core AMD x86.

No-cache copy disabled:
   672703 tps, 97.13% utilization
   50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41

No-cache copy enabled:
   702113 tps, 96.16% utilization,
   50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955

Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the
effects more dramatically:

No-cache copy disabled:
   79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization
   50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76

No-cache copy enabled:
   83856 tps, 34.81% utilization
   50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88

Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).

This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran.  Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

Michał Mirosław 78e47fe419 net: convert SMSC USB net drivers to hw_features
There's a race (not fixed here) in smsc75xx in setting RFE_CTL that's not
properly handled via rfe_ctl_lock. Spinlock is not a good tool here, as
this has to wait for URB completion (or maybe just submission) after issuing
register write request. Otherwise, the rfe_ctl might be changed just after
spin_unlock() and device left programmed with other value.

smsc95xx has increased hard_header_len for the case of TX checksumming.

smsc75xx is fixed to advertise IP+IPV6_CSUM instead of HW_CSUM as it does
not use csum_start/csum_offset.

Arnd Bergmann c261344d3c usbnet: use eth%d name for known ethernet devices
The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.

Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().

Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.

The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two.  The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.

Javier Martinez Canillas ab392d2d6d drivers/net: Remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag from network drivers
The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed.

Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the
type of entropy source it is.

drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for
devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced
with these add_*_randomness exported functions.

Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of
entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can
be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the
entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq
mitigation and NAPI.

If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false
sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good
sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or
feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy
such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.

Roopa Prabhu b3abfbd295 enic: Add support for PORT_REQUEST_PREASSOCIATE_RR
Current enic code only supports ASSOCIATE and DISASSOCIATE port profile
operations. This patch adds enic support for port profile
PORT_REQUEST_PREASSOCIATE_RR operation. The VIC adapter (8021qbh) is capable
of handling port profile requests done in two steps namely PREASSOCIATE_RR
and ASSOCIATE today. The motivation to support PREASSOCIATE_RR comes mainly
from its use as an optimization during VM migration ie, to do resource
reservation on destination host before resources on source host are released.

PREASSOCIATE_RR is a VDP operation and according to the latest at IEEE,
8021qbh will also need to support VDP commands.

In addition to handling the new PORT_REQUEST_PREASSOCIATE_RR operation
this patch also does the below:
- Introduces handlers for PORT_REQUEST operations
- Moves most of the port profile handling code to new files enic_pp.[ch]
- Uses new fw devcmds for port profile operations

Andrzej Zaborowski 7a635ea989 net/usb: Ethernet quirks for the LG-VL600 4G modem
This adds a driver for the CDC Ethernet part of this modem.  The
device's ID is blacklisted in cdc_ether.c and is white-listed in
this new driver because of the quirks needed to make it useful.
The modem's firmware exposes a CDC ACM port for modem control and a
CDC Ethernet port for network data.  The descriptors look fine but
both ports actually are some sort of multiplexers requiring non-
standard headers added/removed from every packet or they get
ignored.  All information is based on a usb traffic log from a
Windows machine.

On the Verizon 4G network I've seen speeds up to 1.1MB/s so far with
this driver, a speed-o-meter site reports 16.2Mbps/10.5Mbps.
Userspace scripts are required to talk to the CDC ACM port.

Ben Hutchings fd1d9188f2 via-ircc: Pass PCI device pointer to dma_{alloc, free}_coherent()
via-ircc has been passing a NULL pointer to DMA allocation functions,
which is completely invalid and results in a BUG on PowerPC.  Now
that we always have the device pointer available, pass it in.

Ben Hutchings abc45592bc via-ircc: Use pci_{get, set}_drvdata() instead of static pointer variable
via-ircc still maintains its own array of device pointers in Linux 2.4
style.  Worse, it always uses index 0, so it will crash if there are
multiple suitable devices in the system.

Johannes Berg ffd8c746fb iwlegacy: fix bugs in change_interface
If change_interface gets invoked during a firmware
restart, it may crash; prevent that from happening
by checking if ctx->vif is assigned.

Additionally, in my initial commit I forgot to set
the vif->p2p variable correctly, so fix that too.

Christian Lamparter 24047e2c4f carl9170: Fix tx aggregation problems with some clients
Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a
BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails.

This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

Stanislaw Gruszka 0263aa4529 iwl3945: disable hw scan by default
After new NetworkManager 0.8.996 changes, hardware scanning is causing
microcode errors as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683571
and sometimes kernel crashes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688252

Also with hw scan there are very bad performance on some systems
as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671366

Since Intel no longer supports 3945, there is no chance to get proper
firmware fixes, we need workaround problems by disable hardware scanning
by default.
