      sfc: Workaround flush failures on Falcon B0 · fd371e32
      Steve Hodgson 提交于
      Under certain conditions a PHY may backpressure Falcon B0
      in such a way that flushes timeout. In normal circumstances
      the phy poller would fix the PHY, and the flush could complete.
      
      But efx_nic_flush_queues() is always called after efx_stop_all(),
      so the poller has been stopped. Even if this weren't the case,
      how long would we have to wait for the poller to fix this? And
      several callers of efx_nic_flush_queues() are about to reset
      the device anyway - so we don't need to do anything.
      
      Work around this bug by scheduling a reset. Ensure that the
      MAC is never rewired back into the datapath before the reset
      runs (we already ignore all rx events anyway).

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      sfc: Change MAC promiscuity and multicast hash at the same time · 8be4f3e6
      Ben Hutchings 提交于
      From: Steve Hodgson <shodgson@solarflare.com>
      
      Currently we can set multicast hash immediately (in atomic context)
      but must delay setting MAC promiscuity.  There is not that much
      point in deferring one but not the other, and setting the multicast
      hash on Siena will involve a firmware request.  So process them
      both in efx_mac_work().
      
      Also, set the broadcast bit in the multicast hash in
      efx_set_multicast_list(), since this is required for both Falcon and
      Siena.

      sfc: Simplify XMAC link polling · 9007b9fa
      Ben Hutchings 提交于
      From: Steve Hodgson <shodgson@solarflare.com>
      
      Only the XMAC on Falcon needs help from the driver to poll and reset
      the MAC-PHY link (XAUI); GMII is a simple parallel bus and on later
      NICs firmware takes care of the XAUI link.  Also, an XMAC interrupt
      currently schedules a work item which simply clears a flag
      (efx_nic::mac_up) to be checked by the regular monitor (or the next
      link reconfiguration, if that is sooner).
      
      Rename the flag to xmac_poll_required, changing its sense.  Remove the
      needless indirection and just set the flag immediately.  Call
      falcon_xmac_poll() directly where required.
      
      Add a new generic operation mac_op::check_fault to check the link
      outside of regular monitoring, as required during self-tests.
      
      (Note that this leaves us with an unused work item, but we will
      immediately have another use for it.)
