net: arc_emac: fix tx issues
the patches below solve some issues found in the tx ring reclaim
strategy currently implemented in the arc_emac driver.
Without these patches a simple outgoing UDP flow blocks almost
immediately with the socket send buffer full, until some new rx
packets trigger a clean of the tx ring.
Everything seems to work fine on a Radxa Rock with this fix applied.

This patch changes the logic in tx path to ensure that tx descriptors
are reused for transmission only after they have been reclaimed by
arc_emac_tx_clean().
Signed-off-by: Beniamino Galvani <b.galvani@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
In the current implementation the cleaning of tx ring is done by the
NAPI poll handler, which is scheduled after rx interrupts. Thus, in
absence of received packets the reclaim of used tx buffers is never
executed, blocking further transmission.
This can be easily reproduced starting the transmission of a UDP flow
with iperf, which blocks almost immediately because skbs are not
returned to the stack and the socket send buffer becomes full.
The patch enables tx interrupts so that the tx reclaim is scheduled
after completed transmissions.

Single port VFs are seen PCI wise on both ports of the PF (we don't have

virtualization tools to try and configure a single ported VF through

To handle that, we use the PF driver mapping of single port VFs to NIC
ports and adjust the port value before calling into the low level
code that does the actual VF configuration

The sunvnet driver does not have an rmb() in the ring consumer corresponding
to the wmb() in the producer. According to Documentation/memory-barriers.txt:
"When dealing with CPU-CPU interactions, certain types of memory barrier should
always be paired. A lack of appropriate pairing is almost certainly an error."
In cases where an rmb() is not a no-op and a consumer is removing data from
the ring while a producer is adding new entries, a load reorder would allow
CPU1 CPU2
---- ----
LOAD desc.size [e.g]
STORE desc.size
<wmb>
set desc.hdr.state = VIO_DESC_READY
LOAD desc.hdr.state
[because VIO_DESC_READY, use
old desc.size, already loaded
out of order]
[CPU2 has reordered apparently unrelated LOADs]
To ensure other desc fields are not loaded before checking VIO_DESC_READY, we
need an rmb() between the check and desc data accesses.
I've also moved the viodbg() call to after the rmb() so that it, too, has
current descriptor data even with reordering, which has the side effect that
it won't print anything for descriptors that are not VIO_DESC_READY as before.
That's a) probably a good thing, since the fields are not necessarily set and,
b) better than adding another rmb() just for viodbg().
This would not be possible if strict-ordering is enforced, but then the
memory barriers should be no-ops in that case.

It is possible that the interface is already gone after joining

What's more important, for API compatibility we should not

Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-3.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner:
"The fixes all address recently discovered data corruption issues.
The original Direct IO issue was discovered by Chris Mason @ Facebook
on a production workload which mixed buffered reads with direct reads
and writes IO to the same file. The fix for that exposed other issues
with page invalidation (exposed by millions of fsx operations) failing
due to dirty buffers beyond EOF.
Finally, the collapse_range code could also cause problems due to
racing writeback changing the extent map while it was being shifted
around. The commits for that problem are simple mitigation fixes that
prevent the problem from occuring. A more robust fix for 3.18 that
addresses the underlying problem is currently being worked on by
Brian.
Summary of fixes:
- a direct IO read/buffered read data corruption
- the associated fallout from the DIO data corruption fix
- collapse range bugs that are potential data corruption issues"

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.
The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.
commit cbcf2dd3b3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.
Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

The error handling in compat_sys_nanosleep() is correct, but
completely non obvious. Document it and restrict it to the

amd-xgbe: AMD XGBE driver fixes 2014-09-05
The following series of patches includes fixes to the driver.
- Proper access to 64 bit management counter registers
- Enable all management counter registers to generate an interrupt when
the counter threshold is reached
This patch series is based on net.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
As the management counters reach a threshold they will generate an
interrupt so the value can be saved and the counter reset. The
current code does not enable this interrupt on all counters. This
can result in inaccurate statistics.
Update the code to enable all the counters to generate an interrupt
when its threshold is exceeded.
Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com>
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Even if the management counters are configured to be 32 bit register
values, the [rt]xoctetcount_gb and [rt]xoctetcount_g counters are
always 64 bit counter registers. Since they are not being treated as
64 bit values, these statistics are being reported incorrectly (ifconfig,
ethtool, etc.).
Update the routines used to read the registers to access the "hi"
register (an offset of 4 from the "lo" register) to create a 64 bit
value for these 64 bit counters.

This patch does not affect the 10/100 GRETH MAC.
Before all GBit GRETH TX descriptor ring cleaning was done in
start_xmit(), when descriptor list became full it activated
TX interrupt to start the NAPI rx poll function to do TX ring
cleaning.
With this patch the TX descriptor ring is always cleaned from
the NAPI rx poll function, triggered via TX or RX interrupt.
Otherwise we could end up in TX frames being sent but not
reported to the stack being sent. On the 10/100 GRETH this
is not an issue since the SKB is copied&aligned into private
buffers so that the SKB can be freed directly on start_xmit()

The cnic module needs to ensure that if ipv6 support is compiled as a module,
then the cnic module cannot be compiled as built-in as it depends on ipv6.
