      [BNX2]: Fix tx race condition. · 2f8af120
      由 Michael Chan 提交于 
      Fix a subtle race condition between bnx2_start_xmit() and bnx2_tx_int()
similar to the one in tg3 discovered by Herbert Xu:

CPU0					CPU1
bnx2_start_xmit()
	if (tx_ring_full) {
		tx_lock
					bnx2_tx()
						if (!netif_queue_stopped)
		netif_stop_queue()
		if (!tx_ring_full)
						update_tx_ring
			netif_wake_queue()
		tx_unlock
	}

Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in bnx2_tx_int() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above.  This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if bnx2_tx_int() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring.  The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.

The following changes are made, very much identical to the tg3 fix:

1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.

2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock.  This eliminates one spinlock in bnx2_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.

3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in bnx2_tx_int() before calling
netif_wake_queue().

4. Add memory barrier to bnx2_tx_avail().

5. Add bp->tx_wake_thresh which is set to half the tx ring size.

6. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx().  This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

      [BNX2]: remove atomics in tx · e89bbf10
      由 Michael Chan 提交于 
      Remove atomic operations in the fast tx path. Expensive atomic
operations were used to keep track of the number of available tx
descriptors. The new code uses the difference between the consumer
and producer index to determine the number of free tx descriptors.

As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the name of the inline function is
changed to all lower case.

      [BNX2]: speedup serdes linkup · cd339a0e
      由 Michael Chan 提交于 
      This speeds up link-up time on 5706 SerDes if the link partner does
not autoneg, a rather common scenario in blade servers. Some blade
servers use IPMI for keyboard input and it's important to minimize
link disruptions.

The speedup is achieved by shortening the timer to (HZ / 3) during
the transient period right after initiating a SerDes autoneg. If
autoneg does not complete, parallel detect can be done sooner. After
the transient period is over, the timer goes back to its normal HZ
interval.

As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the timer initialization is moved to
bnx2_init_board() from bnx2_open().

An eeprom bit is also added to allow default forced SerDes speed for
even faster link-up time.
