Implement the ndo_setup_tc() operation with 2 traffic classes. Current Solarstorm controllers do not implement TX queue priority, but they do allow queues to be 'paced' with an enforced delay between packets. Paced and unpaced queues are scheduled in round-robin within two separate hardware bins (paced queues with a large delay may be placed into a third bin temporarily, but we won't use that). If there are queues in both bins, the TX scheduler will alternate between them. If we make high-priority queues unpaced and best-effort queues paced, and high-priority queues are mostly empty, a single high-priority queue can then instantly take 50% of the packet rate regardless of how many of the best-effort queues have descriptors outstanding. We do not actually want an enforced delay between packets on best- effort queues, so we set the pace value to a reserved value that actually results in a delay of 0.

Long before this driver went into mainline, it had support for multiple TX queues per port, with lockless TX enabled. Since Linux did not know anything of this, filling up any hardware TX queue would stop the core TX queue and multiple hardware TX queues could fill up before the scheduler reacted. Thus it was necessary to keep a count of how many TX queues were stopped and to wake the core TX queue only when all had free space again. The driver also previously (ab)used the per-hardware-queue stopped flag as a counter to deal with various things that can inhibit TX, but it no longer does that. Remove the per-channel tx_stop_count, tx_stop_lock and per-hardware-queue stopped count and just use the networking core queue state directly.

Whenever we add DMA descriptors to a TX ring and update the ring pointer, the TX DMA engine must first read the new DMA descriptors and then start reading packet data. However, all released Solarflare 10G controllers have a 'TX push' feature that allows us to reduce latency by writing the first new DMA descriptor along with the pointer update. This is only useful when the queue is empty. The hardware should ignore the pushed descriptor if the queue is not empty, but this check is buggy, so we must do it in software. In order to tell whether a TX queue is empty, we need to compare the previous transmission count (write_count) and completion count (read_count). However, if we do that every time we update the ring pointer then read_count may ping-pong between the caches of two CPUs running the transmission and completion paths for the queue. Therefore, we split the check for an empty queue between the completion path and the transmission path: - Add an empty_read_count field representing a point at which the completion path saw the TX queue as empty. - Add an old_write_count field for use on the completion path. - On the completion path, whenever read_count reaches or passes old_write_count the TX queue may be empty. We then read write_count, set empty_read_count if read_count == write_count, and update old_write_count. - On the transmission path, we read empty_read_count. If it's set, we compare it with the value of write_count before the current set of descriptors was added. If they match, the queue really is empty and we can use TX push.

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.

Checksum generation is an attribute of our hardware TX queues, not TX descriptors. We previously used a single queue and turned checksum generation on or off as requested through ethtool. However, this can result in regenerating checksums in raw packets that should not be modified. We now create 2 hardware TX queues with checksum generation on or off. They are presented to the net core as one queue since it does not know how to select between them. The self-test verifies that a bad checksum is unaltered on the queue with checksum generation off.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.
