      atp: remove set_rx_mode_8012() · bb263e18
      由 Paul Bolle 提交于 
      Building atp.o triggers this GCC warning:
    drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/atp.c: In function ‘set_rx_mode’:
    drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/atp.c:871:26: warning: ‘mc_filter[0]’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

GCC is correct. In promiscuous mode 'mc_filter' will be used
uninitialized in set_rx_mode_8012(), which is apparently inlined into
set_rx_mode().

But it turns out set_rx_mode_8012() will never be called, since
net_local.chip_type will always be RTL8002. So we can just remove
set_rx_mode_8012() and do some related cleanups.

      net: gro: selective flush of packets · 2e71a6f8
      由 Eric Dumazet 提交于 
      Current GRO can hold packets in gro_list for almost unlimited
time, in case napi->poll() handler consumes its budget over and over.

In this case, napi_complete()/napi_gro_flush() are not called.

Another problem is that gro_list is flushed in non friendly way :
We scan the list and complete packets in the reverse order.
(youngest packets first, oldest packets last)
This defeats priorities that sender could have cooked.

Since GRO currently only store TCP packets, we dont really notice the
bug because of retransmits, but this behavior can add unexpected
latencies, particularly on mice flows clamped by elephant flows.

This patch makes sure no packet can stay more than 1 ms in queue, and
only in stress situations.

It also complete packets in the right order to minimize latencies.

      r8169: use unlimited DMA burst for TX · aee77e4a
      由 Michal Schmidt 提交于 
      The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have
a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full
potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited.

The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl
(XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled.

I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput
on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024,
'7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results:
http://michich.fedorapeople.org/r8169/r8169-effects-of-TX_DMA_BURST.png

Interesting points:
 - With the current DMA burst limit (1024):
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s.
   - when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with
     increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's
     a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically
     again with further MTU increases.
 - With a smaller DMA burst limit (512):
   - there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564.
 - With unlimited DMA burst:
   - at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s.
   - the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange
     peaks.

Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst
limit plus 52. Why 52? Because:
  20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52

The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too,
except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes.
CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B",
i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs
the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements.

      r8169: RxConfig hack for the 8168evl. · eb2dc35d
      由 françois romieu 提交于 
      The 8168evl (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34) based Gigabyte GA-990FXA motherboards
are very prone to NETDEV watchdog problems without this change. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42899 for instance.

I don't know why it *works*. It's depressingly effective though.

For the record:
- the problem may go along IOMMU (AMD-Vi) errors but it really looks
  like a red herring.
- the patch sets the RX_MULTI_EN bit. If the 8168c doc is any guide,
  the chipset now fetches several Rx descriptors at a time.
- long ago the driver ignored the RX_MULTI_EN bit.
  e542a226 changed the RxConfig
  settings. Whatever the problem it's now labeled a regression.
- Realtek's own driver can identify two different 8168evl devices
  (CFG_METHOD_16 and CFG_METHOD_17) where the r8169 driver only
  sees one. It sucks.

      r8169: avoid NAPI scheduling delay. · 7dbb4918
      由 françois romieu 提交于 
      While reworking the r8169 driver a few months ago to perform the
smallest amount of work in the irq handler, I took care of avoiding
any irq mask register operation in the slow work dedicated user
context thread. The slow work thread scheduled an extra round of NAPI
work which would ultimately set the irq mask register as required,
thus keeping such irq mask operations in the NAPI handler.
It would eventually race with the irq handler and delay NAPI execution
for - assuming no further irq - a whole ksoftirqd period. Mildly a
problem for rare link changes or corner case PCI events.

The race was always lost after the last bh disabling lock had been
removed from the work thread and people started wondering where those
pesky "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages came from.

Actually the irq mask register _can_ be set up directly in the slow
work thread.
