This patch adds support to "max-speed" property which is a standard
Ethernet device tree property. max-speed specifies maximum speed
(specified in megabits per second) supported the device.

Depending on the clocking schemes some of the boards can only support
few link speeds, so having a way to limit the link speed in the mac
driver would allow such setups to work reliably.

Without this patch there is no way to tell the driver to limit the
link speed.

Assorted mvneta fixes and improvements

this series provides some fixes for a number of issues met with the
mvneta driver, then adds some improvements. Patches 1-5 are fixes
and would be needed in 3.13 and likely -stable. The next ones are
performance improvements and cleanups :

  - driver lockup when reading stats while sending traffic from multiple
    CPUs : this obviously only happens on SMP and is the result of missing
    locking on the driver. The problem was present since the introduction
    of the driver in 3.8. The first patch performs some changes that are
    needed for the second one which actually fixes the issue by using
    per-cpu counters. It could make sense to backport this to the relevant
    stable versions.

  - mvneta_tx_timeout calls various functions to reset the NIC, and these
    functions sleep, which is not allowed here, resulting in a panic.
    Better completely disable this Tx timeout handler for now since it is
    never called. The problem was encountered while developing some new
    features, it's uncertain whether it's possible to reproduce it with
    regular usage, so maybe a backport to stable is not needed.

  - replace the Tx timer with a real Tx IRQ. As first reported by Arnaud
    Ebalard and explained by Eric Dumazet, there is no way this driver
    can work correctly if it uses a driver to recycle the Tx descriptors.
    If too many packets are sent at once, the driver quickly ends up with
    no descriptors (which happens twice as easily in GSO) and has to wait
    10ms for recycling its descriptors and being able to send again. Eric
    has worked around this in the core GSO code. But still when routing
    traffic or sending UDP packets, the limitation is very visible. Using
    Tx IRQs allows Tx descriptors to be recycled when sent. The coalesce
    value is still configurable using ethtool. This fix turns the UDP
    send bitrate from 134 Mbps to 987 Mbps (ie: line rate). It's made of
    two patches, one to add the relevant bits from the original Marvell's
    driver, and another one to implement the change. I don't know if it
    should be backported to stable, as the bug only causes poor performance.

  - Patches 6..8 are essentially cleanups, code deduplication and minor
    optimizations for not re-fetching a value we already have (status).

  - patch 9 changes the prefetch of Rx descriptor from current one to
    next one. In benchmarks, it results in about 1% general performance
    increase on HTTP traffic, probably because prefetching the current
    descriptor does not leave enough time between the start of prefetch
    and its usage.

  - patch 10 implements support for build_skb() on Rx path. The driver
    now preallocates frags instead of skbs and builds an skb just before
    delivering it. This results in a 2% performance increase on HTTP
    traffic, and up to 5% on small packet Rx rate.

  - patch 11 implements rx_copybreak for small packets (256 bytes). It
    avoids a dma_map_single()/dma_unmap_single() and increases the Rx
    rate by 16.4%, from 486kpps to 573kpps. Further improvements up to
    711kpps are possible depending how the DMA is used.

  - patches 12 and 13 are extra cleanups made possible by some of the
    simplifications above.

calling dma_map_single()/dma_unmap_single() is quite expensive compared
to copying a small packet. So let's copy short frames and keep the buffers
mapped. We set the limit to 256 bytes which seems to give good results both
on the XP-GP board and on the AX3/4.

The Rx small packet rate increased by 16.4% doing this, from 486kpps to
573kpps. It is worth noting that even the call to the function
dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu() is expensive (300 ns) although less
than dma_unmap_single(). Without it, the packet rate raises to 711kpps
(+24% more). Thus on systems where coherency from device to CPU is
guaranteed by a snoop control unit, this patch should provide even more
gains, and probably rx_copybreak could be increased.

Make use of build_skb() to allocate frags on the RX path. When frag size
is lower than a page size, we can use netdev_alloc_frag(), and we fall back
to kmalloc() for larger sizes. The frag size is stored into the mvneta_port
struct. The alloc/free functions check the frag size to decide what alloc/
free method to use. MTU changes are safe because the MTU change function
stops the device and clears the queues before applying the change.

With this patch, I observed a reproducible 2% performance improvement on
HTTP-based benchmarks, and 5% on small packet RX rate.

There are useless tests on the return queue number and on the pointer,

path is fast, although not critical. Removing 3 tests here that the
compiler could not optimize (verified) is always desirable.

Right now the mvneta driver doesn't handle Tx IRQ, and relies on two
mechanisms to flush Tx descriptors : a flush at the end of mvneta_tx()
and a timer. If a burst of packets is emitted faster than the device
can send them, then the queue is stopped until next wake-up of the
timer 10ms later. This causes jerky output traffic with bursts and
pauses, making it difficult to reach line rate with very few streams.

A test on UDP traffic shows that it's not possible to go beyond 134
Mbps / 12 kpps of outgoing traffic with 1500-bytes IP packets. Routed
traffic tends to observe pauses as well if the traffic is bursty,
making it even burstier after the wake-up.

It seems that this feature was inherited from the original driver but
nothing there mentions any reason for not using the interrupt instead,
which the chip supports.

Thus, this patch enables Tx interrupts and removes the timer. It does
the two at once because it's not really possible to make the two
mechanisms coexist, so a split patch doesn't make sense.

First tests performed on a Mirabox (Armada 370) show that less CPU
seems to be used when sending traffic. One reason might be that we now
call the mvneta_tx_done_gbe() with a mask indicating which queues have
been done instead of looping over all of them.

The same UDP test above now happily reaches 987 Mbps / 87.7 kpps.
Single-stream TCP traffic can now more easily reach line rate. HTTP
transfers of 1 MB objects over a single connection went from 730 to
840 Mbps. It is even possible to go significantly higher (>900 Mbps)
by tweaking tcp_tso_win_divisor.

Marvell has not published the chip's datasheet yet, so it's very hard
to find the relevant bits to manipulate to change the IRQ behaviour.
Fortunately, these bits are described in the proprietary LSP patch set
which is publicly available here :

So let's put them back in the driver in order to reduce the burden of
current and future maintenance.

Ben Hutchings attempted to propose a better fix consisting in using a

random freezes and panics proving that the reset sequence in the driver
is unreliable and that additional fixes should be investigated.

When sending multiple streams over a link limited to 100 Mbps, Tx timeouts
happen from time to time, and the driver correctly recovers only when the
function is disabled.

Stats writers are mvneta_rx() and mvneta_tx(). They don't lock anything
when they update the stats, and as a result, it randomly happens that
the stats freeze on SMP if two updates happen during stats retrieval.
This is very easily reproducible by starting two HTTP servers and binding
each of them to a different CPU, then consulting /proc/net/dev in loops
during transfers, the interface should immediately lock up. This issue
also randomly happens upon link state changes during transfers, because
the stats are collected in this situation, but it takes more attempts to
reproduce it.

The comments in netdevice.h suggest using per_cpu stats instead to get
rid of this issue.

This patch implements this. It merges both rx_stats and tx_stats into
a single "stats" member with a single syncp. Both mvneta_rx() and
mvneta_rx() now only update the a single CPU's counters.

In turn, mvneta_get_stats64() does the summing by iterating over all CPUs
to get their respective stats.

With this change, stats are still correct and no more lockup is encountered.

Note that this bug was present since the first import of the mvneta
driver.  It might make sense to backport it to some stable trees. If
so, it depends on "d33dc73 net: mvneta: increase the 64-bit rx/tx stats
out of the hot path".

The Tx head write-back registers are not cleared during an FLR or VF reset.
As a result a configuration that had head write-back enabled can leave the
registers set after the driver is unloaded.  If the next driver loaded doesn't
use the write-back registers this can lead to a bad configuration where
head write-back is enabled, but the driver didn't request it.

To avoid this situation the PF should be resetting the Tx head write-back
registers when the VF requests a reset.

Refactor the deletion/update of prefix routes when removing an

present with this flag, to not cleanup the route. Instead, assume
that userspace is taking care of this route.

Also perform the same cleanup, when userspace changes an existing address
to add NOPREFIXROUTE (to an address that didn't have this flag). This is
done because when the address was added, a prefix route was created for it.
Since the user now wants to handle this route by himself, we cleanup this
route.

This cleanup of the route is not totally robust. There is no guarantee,
that the route we are about to delete was really the one added by the
kernel. This behavior does not change by the patch, and in practice it
should work just fine.
