There is no actual dependency on initialization of the mailbox ops on
whether SR-IOV is enabled or not and it doesn't hurt to go ahead and

This change is meant to inline the Rx PTP descriptor handling.  The main
motivation is to avoid unnecessary jumps into function calls that we then
immediately exit because we are not performing timestamps.

The net result of this change is that ixgbe_ptp_rx_tstamp drops from .5% CPU
utilization in my performance runs to 0%, and the only value tested is the Rx
descriptor which should already be warm in the cache if not stored in a
register.

This patch copies the igb implementation of Tx timestamps, which uses a work
item to poll for the Tx timestamp. In addition it adds a timeout value of 15
seconds, after which it will stop polling.

This is necessary due to an issue with the descriptor being marked done before
the Tx timestamp event has occurred. These two events don't correlate, so using
the done bit on the descriptor as indication that the timestamp must already
have been taken leads to potentially dropped Tx timestamps (especially under
heavy packet load)

This patch removes ixgbe_ptp_match, and the corresponding packet filtering from
ixgbe driver. This code was previously causing some issues within the hotpath of
the driver. However the code also provided a check against possible frozen Rx
timestamp due to dropped packets when the Rx ring is full. This patch provides a
replacement solution based on the watchdog.

To this end, whenever a packet consumes the Rx timestamp it stores the jiffy
value in the rx_ring structure. Watchdog updates its own jiffy timer whenever
there is no valid timestamp in the registers.

If watchdog detects a valid timestamp in the registers, (meaning that no Rx
packet has consumed it yet) it will check which time is most recent, the last
time in the watchdog, or any time in the rx_rings. If the most recent "event"
was more than 5seconds ago, it will flush the Rx timestamp and print a warning
message to the syslog.

behind this change is due to reasoning that we do in fact support the

upscaled version). In this way we can remain consistent over which filters are
supported via the get_ts_info ioctl and which filters are in practice actually

This patch cleans up the ethtool diagnostics test by ensuring that the tests
work properly regardless of what state the adapter was in. The SRIOV VF check is
done at the beginning, forgoing the link test. The if_running -> dev_close is
moved before the link test, as well as a call to enable the Tx laser. This
ensures that the link test will return valid results even when adapter was
previously down. Also, a call to disable the Tx laser is added if the device
was down before the start. This ensures consistent behavior of the Tx laser
before and after the diagnostic checks. The end result is consistent behavior
regardless of device state.

When posting a message on the bulletin board, the PF calculates crc
over the message and places the result in the message. When the VF
samples the Bulletin Board it copies the message aside and validates
this crc. The length of the message is crucial here and must be the
same in both parties. Since the PF is running in the Hypervisor and
the VF is running in a Vm, they can possibly be of different versions.
As the Bulletin Board is designed to grow forward in future versions,
in the VF the length must not be the size of the message structure
but instead it should be a field in the message itself.

In INTA mode, cnic and bnx2x share the same IRQ.  During chip reset,
for example, cnic will stop servicing IRQs after it has shutdown the
cnic hardware resources.  However, the shared IRQ is still active as
bnx2x needs to finish the reset.  There is a window when bnx2x does
not know that cnic is no longer handling IRQ and things don't always
work properly.

Add a flag to tell bnx2x that cnic is handling IRQ.  The flag is set
before the first cnic IRQ is expected and cleared when no more cnic
IRQs are expected, so there should be no race conditions.

====================
This series implements so_reuseport (SO_REUSEPORT socket option) for
TCP and UDP.  For TCP, so_reuseport allows multiple listener sockets
to be bound to the same port.  In the case of UDP, so_reuseport allows
multiple sockets to bind to the same port.  To prevent port hijacking
all sockets bound to the same port using so_reuseport must have the
same uid.  Received packets are distributed to multiple sockets bound
to the same port using a 4-tuple hash.

The motivating case for so_resuseport in TCP would be something like
a web server binding to port 80 running with multiple threads, where
each thread might have it's own listener socket.  This could be done
as an alternative to other models: 1) have one listener thread which
dispatches completed connections to workers. 2) accept on a single
listener socket from multiple threads.  In case #1 the listener thread
can easily become the bottleneck with high connection turn-over rate.
In case #2, the proportion of connections accepted per thread tends
to be uneven under high connection load (assuming simple event loop:
while (1) { accept(); process() }, wakeup does not promote fairness
among the sockets.  We have seen the  disproportion to be as high
as 3:1 ratio between thread accepting most connections and the one
accepting the fewest.  With so_reusport the distribution is
uniform.

The TCP implementation has a problem in that the request sockets for a
listener are attached to a listener socket.  If a SYN is received, a
listener socket is chosen and request structure is created (SYN-RECV
state).  If the subsequent ack in 3WHS does not match the same port
by so_reusport, the connection state is not found (reset) and the
request structure is orphaned.  This scenario would occur when the
number of listener sockets bound to a port changes (new ones are
added, or old ones closed).  We are looking for a solution to this,
maybe allow multiple sockets to share the same request table...

The motivating case for so_reuseport in UDP would be something like a
DNS server.  An alternative would be to recv on the same socket from
multiple threads.  As in the case of TCP, the load across these threads
tends to be disproportionate and we also see a lot of contection on
the socket lock.  Note that SO_REUSEADDR already allows multiple UDP
sockets to bind to the same port, however there is no provision to
prevent hijacking and nothing to distribute packets across all the
sockets sharing the same bound port.  This patch does not change the
semantics of SO_REUSEADDR, but provides usable functionality of it
for unicast.

Paul Gortmaker says:

====================
The Ethernet-HowTo was maintained for roughly 10 years, from 1993 to 2003.
Fortunately sane hardware probing and auto detection (via PCI and ISA/PnP)
largely made the document a relic of the past, hence it being abandoned
a decade ago.

However, there is one last useful thing that we can extract from the
effort made in maintaining that document.  We can use it to guide us
with respect to what rare, experimental and/or super ancient 10Mbit
ISA drivers don't make sense to maintain in-tree anymore.

Nobody will argue that ISA is obsolete.  Availability went away at about
the time Pentium3 motherboards moved from 500MHz Slot1/SECC processors
to the green 500MHz Socket 370 Pentium3 chips, at the turn of the century.

In theory, it is possible that someone could still be running one of these
12+ year old P3 machines and want 3.9+ bleeding edge kernels (but unlikely).
In light of the above (remote) possibility, we can defer the removal of some
ISA network drivers that were highly popular and well tested.  Typically
that means the stuff more from the mid to late '90s, some with ISA PnP
support, like the 3c509, the wd/SMC 8390 based stuff, PCnet/lance etc.

But a lot of other drivers, typically from the early 1990s were for rare
hardware, and experimental (to the point of requiring a cron job that would
do a test ping, and then ifconfig down/up and/or a rmmod/insmod!).  And
some of these drivers (znet, and lp486e to name two) are physically tied
to platforms with on motherboard ethernet -- of 486 machines that date
from the early 1990s and can only have single digit amounts of memory.

What I'd like to achieve here with this series, is to get rid of those old
drivers that are no longer being used.  In an earlier discussion where
I'd proposed deleting a single driver, Alan suggested we instead dump
all the historical stuff in one go, to make it "...immediately obvious
where the break point is..."[1] and that it was "perfectly reasonable it
(and a pile of other ISA cards) ought to be shown the door"[2].  So that
is the goal here - make a clear line in the sand where the really ancient
stuff finally gets kicked to the curb.

Two old parallel port drivers are considered for removal here as well,
since in early 386/486 ISA machines, the parallel port was typically found
with the UARTS on the multi-I/O ISA controller card.  These drivers also date
from the early 1990's; parallel ports are no longer found on modern boards,
and their performance was not even capable of 10% of 10Mbit bandwidth.

Allow me a preemptive justification against the inevitable comments from
well meaning bystanders who suggest "why not just leave all this alone?".
Dead drivers cost us all if they are left in tree.  If you think that
is false, then please first consider:

-every time you type "git status", you are checking to see if modifications
 have been made by you to all that dead code.

-every time you type "git grep <regex>" you are searching through files
 which contain that dead code that simply does not interest you.

-every time you build a "allyesconfig" and an "allmodconfig" (don't tell
 me you skip this step before submitting your changes to a maintainer),
 you waste CPU cycles building this dead code.

-every time there is a tree wide API change, or cleanup, or file relocation,
 we pay the cost of updating dead code, or moving dead code.

-daily regression tests (take linux-next as the most transparent
 example) spend time building (and possibly running) this dead code.

-hard working people who regularly run auditing tools looking for lurking
 bugs (sparse/coverity/smatch/coccinelle) are wasting time checking for,
 and fixing bugs in this dead code.

This last one is key.  Please take a look at the git history for the
files that are proposed for removal here.  Look at the git history for
any one of them ("git whatchanged --follow drivers/net/.../driver.c")
Mentally sort the changes into two bins -- (1) the robotic tree-wide
changes, and (2) the "look I found a real run-time bug while using this"
category.  You will see that category #2 is essentially empty.

Further to that, realize that drivers don't simply disappear.  We are
not operating in the binary-only distribution space like other OS.  All
these drivers remain in the git history forever.  If a person is an
enthusiast for extreme legacy hardware, they are probably already
customizing their kernel source and building it themselves to support
such systems.  Also keep in mind that they could still build the 3.8
kernel exactly as-is, and run it (or a 3.8.x stable variant of it) for
several more years if they were really determined to cling to these old
experimental ISA drivers for some reason.

In summary, I hope that folks can be pragmatic about this, and not
get swept up in nostalgia.  Ask yourself whether it is realistic to
expect a person would have a genuine use case where they would
need to build a 3.9+ modern kernel and install it on some legacy hardware
that has no option but to absolutely _require_ one of the drivers
that are deleted here.

The following series was created with --irreversible-delete for
ease of review (it skips showing the content of files that are
deleted); however the complete patches can be pulled as per below.
