      ====================
      This is rebased version of Andrew's V8 patch series. The original cover letter:
      
      --------------------
      xen-net{back,	front}: Multiple transmit and receive queues
      
      This patch series implements multiple transmit and receive queues (i.e.
      multiple shared rings) for the xen virtual network interfaces.
      
      The series is split up as follows:
       - Patch 1 brings the 'grant_copy_op' array back into struct xenvif, in
         preparation for multi-queue support. See the patch itself for more details.
      - Patches 2 and 4 factor out the queue-specific data for netback and
        netfront respectively, and modify the rest of the code to use these
        as appropriate.
      - Patches 3 and 5 introduce new XenStore keys to negotiate and use
        multiple shared rings and event channels, and code to connect these
        as appropriate.
      - Patch 6 documents the XenStore keys required for the new feature
        in include/xen/interface/io/netif.h
      
      All other transmit and receive processing remains unchanged, i.e. there
      is a kthread per queue and a NAPI context per queue.
      
      The performance of these patches has been analysed in detail, with
      results available at:
      
      http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen-netback_and_xen-netfront_multi-queue_performance_testing
      
      To summarise:
        * Using multiple queues allows a VM to transmit at line rate on a 10
          Gbit/s NIC, compared with a maximum aggregate throughput of 6 Gbit/s
          with a single queue.
        * For intra-host VM--VM traffic, eight queues provide 171% of the
          throughput of a single queue; almost 12 Gbit/s instead of 6 Gbit/s.
        * There is a corresponding increase in total CPU usage, i.e. this is a
          scaling out over available resources, not an efficiency improvement.
        * Results depend on the availability of sufficient CPUs, as well as the
          distribution of interrupts and the distribution of TCP streams across
          the queues.
      
      Queue selection is currently achieved via an L4 hash on the packet (i.e.
      TCP src/dst port, IP src/dst address) and is not negotiated between the
      frontend and backend, since only one option exists. Future patches to
      support other frontends (particularly Windows) will need to add some
      capability to negotiate not only the hash algorithm selection, but also
      allow the frontend to specify some parameters to this.
      
      Note that queue selection is a decision by the transmitting system about
      which queue to use for a particular packet. In general, the algorithm
      may differ between the frontend and the backend with no adverse effects.
      
      Queue-specific XenStore entries for ring references and event channels
      are stored hierarchically, i.e. under .../queue-N/... where N varies
      from 0 to one less than the requested number of queues (inclusive). If
      only one queue is requested, it falls back to the flat structure where
      the ring references and event channels are written at the same level as
      other vif information.
      
      V8:
      - Squash the queue error handling code into patch 3.
      - Update the documentation (patch 6) according to comments on the
        equivalent patch to Xen.
      
      V7:
      - Rebase on latest net-next, which includes the netback grant mapping
        patch series from Zoltan Kiss
      - Reduce QUEUE_NAME_SIZE by 1 to avoid double-counting the trailing '\0'
      - Simplify the queue hashing by using (hash % num_queues) instead of
        multiply & shift.
      - Add ratelimited warning for invalid queue selection.
      - Fix error handling to correctly tear down already setup queues.
      - Use dev->real_num_tx_queues instead of separately maintaining a
        count of the number of queues.
      
      V6:
      - Use 'max_queues' as the module param. name for both netback and netfront.
      
      V5:
      - Fix bug in xenvif_free() that could lead to an attempt to transmit an
        skb after the queue structures had been freed.
      - Improve the XenStore protocol documentation in netif.h.
      - Fix IRQ_NAME_SIZE double-accounting for null terminator.
      - Move rx_gso_checksum_fixup stat into struct xenvif_stats (per-queue).
      - Don't initialise a local variable that is set in both branches (xspath).
      
      V4:
      - Add MODULE_PARM_DESC() for the multi-queue parameters for netback
        and netfront modules.
      - Move del_timer_sync() in netfront to after unregister_netdev, which
        restores the order in which these functions were called before applying
        these patches.
      
      V3:
      - Further indentation and style fixups.
      
      V2:
      - Rebase onto net-next.
      - Change queue->number to queue->id.
      - Add atomic operations around the small number of stats variables that
        are not queue-specific or per-cpu.
      - Fixup formatting and style issues.
      - XenStore protocol changes documented in netif.h.
      - Default max. number of queues to num_online_cpus().
      - Check requested number of queues does not exceed maximum.
      --------------------
      
      I rebased this on top of net-next. No functional change is introduced.  The
      patch that needed some extra care was "xen-netback: Factor queue-specific data
      into queue struct" because it clashed with a fix introduced in net. A simple
      test of creating guest, iperf, then shutting down guest worked as expected.
      
      The last patch fixes a minor problem that queue name is not initialised in
      xen-netfront, resulting in names like "-tx" "-rx" in /proc/interrupt.
      
      Changes since v9 (no functional change introduced):
      * include commit summary in the commit message of first patch
      * fold David Vrabel's Reviewed-by into last patch

      xen-netback: Move grant_copy_op array back into struct xenvif. · a55d9766
      Andrew J. Bennieston 提交于
      This array was allocated separately in commit ac3d5ac2 ("xen-netback:
      fix guest-receive-side array sizes") due to it being very large, and a
      struct xenvif is allocated as the netdev_priv part of a struct
      net_device, i.e. via kmalloc() but falling back to vmalloc() if the
      initial alloc. fails.
      
      In preparation for the multi-queue patches, where this array becomes
      part of struct xenvif_queue and is always allocated through vzalloc(),
      move this back into the struct xenvif.

      ====================
      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
      
      This series contains updates to e1000, igb and ixgbe.
      
      Emil provides his version 2 fix for the detection of SFP+ capable interfaces.
      In cases where the driver is loaded while there are no SFP+ modules in cage,
      the interface was not being detected as SFP capable.  Resolve the issue by
      identifying interfaces with no PHY type set as SFP capable which allows the
      driver to detect the SFP module when the interface is brought up.  In this
      version 2 of the patch, the 82599 specific check was removed since we only
      have 82598 devices that are SFP capable.
      
      Jacob removes the including of the export header in the ixgbe PTP core, since
      it is not needed.  Renames igb_ptp_enable() to igb_ptp_feature_enable() to
      better reflect the actual functions purpose.
      
      Todd fixes the ethtool loopback test for i354 backplane devices since we
      do not know what PHY is to be used for the devices, use MAC loopback for
      ethtool tests.  Todd also sets the packet buffer size register defaults for
      i210 devices.
      
      Yongjian Xu removes the check for skb->len being negative or zero since there
      is never a case where it would be zero or negative for e1000.
      
      Manuel Schölling updates e1000 to use the time_after() helper function.
