5a89392225 mv643xx_eth: fix unicast address filter corruption on mtu change
When mv643xx_eth_open() is called to up an interface, port_start()
will first re-program the unicast address filter, and then
re-initialise the PORT_CONFIG register, but that will disable unicast
promiscuous mode if it was enabled by the unicast address filter setup.

This isn't a problem on ifconfig up, as ->set_rx_mode() will be called
shortly afterwards which will program the filters again, but it does
trigger when changing the MTU, which calls mv643xx_eth_stop() and then
mv643xx_eth_open() by hand to repopulate the receive rings with skbuffs
of the new size.

Swap the initialisation of the PORT_START register and the call to
the unicast filter setup function to fix this.

4fb0a54a55 mv643xx_eth: set sane default receive coalescing timeout
A receive coalescing timeout of 250 usec appears to strike a good
balance between allowing enough received frames to be aggregated for
LRO to do its job and not allowing the connection to stall due to
delaying ACKs to the remote end for too long.

a5fe361653 mv643xx_eth: move a couple of init actions from ->open() to port probe
Move the netif_carrier_off() call in ->open() to port probe, so that
ethtool doesn't report the link as being up before we have up'd the
interface.

Move initialisation of the rx/tx coalescing timers from ->open() to
port probe, so that we don't reset the coalescing timers every time
the interface is up'd.

57e8f26a10 net/mv643xx: don't disable the mib timer too early and lock properly
mib_counters_update() also restarts the timer.
So the timer is dequeued, the stats are read and then the timer is
enqueued again. This is "okay" unless someone unloads the module.
The locking here is also broken:
mib_counters_update() grabs just a simple spinlock. The only thing the
lock is good for is to protect the timer func against other callers
namely mv643xx_eth_stop() && mv643xx_eth_get_ethtool_stats(). That means
if the spinlock is taken via the ethtool path and than the timer kicks
in then the box will lock up.

fe65e70453 mv643xx_eth: prevent interrupt storm on ifconfig down
Contrary to what the docs say, the 'extended interrupt cause' bit in
the interrupt cause register (bit 1) appears to not be maskable on at
least some of the mv643xx_eth platforms, making writing zeroes to the
interrupt mask register but not the extended interrupt mask register
insufficient to stop interrupts from occuring.  Therefore, also write
zeroes to the extended interrupt mask register when shutting down the
port.

This fixes the interrupt storm seen on the Pegasos board when shutting
down the interface.

2b448334a2 mv643xx_eth: fix multicast filter programming
Commit 66e63ffbc0 ("mv643xx_eth:
implement ->set_rx_mode()") cleaned up mv643xx_eth's multicast filter
programming, but broke it as well.

The non-special multicast filter table (for multicast addresses that
are not of the form 01:00:5e:00:00:xx) consists of 256 hash table
buckets organised as 64 32-bit words, where the 'accept' bits are
in the LSB of each byte, so in bits 24 16 8 0 of each 32-bit word.
The old code got this right, but the referenced commit broke this by
using bits 3 2 1 0 instead.  This commit fixes this up.

On the Pegasos board, we can't do DMA burst that are longer than

back to doing long 128 byte bursts in the next development cycle.

66e63ffbc0 mv643xx_eth: implement ->set_rx_mode()
Currently, if multiple unicast addresses are programmed into a
mv643xx_eth interface, the core networking will resort to enabling
promiscuous mode on the interface, as mv643xx_eth does not implement
->set_rx_mode().

This patch switches mv643xx_eth over from ->set_multicast_list()
to ->set_rx_mode(), and implements support for secondary unicast
addresses.  The hardware can handle multiple unicast addresses as
long as their first 11 nibbles are the same (i.e. are of the form
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xy where the x part is the same for all addresses), so
if that is the case, we use that mode.  If it's not the case, we enable
unicast promiscuous mode in the hardware, which is slightly better than
enabling promiscuous mode for multicasts as well, which is what would
happen before.

While we are at it, change the programming sequence so that we
don't clear all filter bits first, so we don't lose all incoming
packets while the filter is being reprogrammed.

37a6084f4b mv643xx_eth: introduce per-port register area pointer
The mv643xx_eth driver uses the rdl()/wrl() macros to read and
write hardware registers.  Per-port registers are accessed in the
following way:

	#define PORT_STATUS(p)			(0x0444 + ((p) << 10))

	[...]

	static inline u32 rdl(struct mv643xx_eth_private *mp, int offset)
	{
		return readl(mp->shared->base + offset);
	}

	[...]

	port_status = rdl(mp, PORT_STATUS(mp->port_num));

By giving the per-port 'struct mv643xx_eth_private' its own
'void __iomem *base' pointer that points to the per-port register
area, we can get rid of both the double indirection and the << 10
that is done for every per-port register access -- this patch does
that.

ee04448d88 mv643xx_eth: fix SMI bus access timeouts
The mv643xx_eth mii bus implementation uses wait_event_timeout() to
wait for SMI completion interrupts.

If wait_event_timeout() would return zero, mv643xx_eth would conclude
that the SMI access timed out, but this is not necessarily true --
wait_event_timeout() can also return zero in the case where the SMI
completion interrupt did happen in time but where it took longer than
the requested timeout for the process performing the SMI access to be
scheduled again.  This would lead to occasional SMI access timeouts
when the system would be under heavy load.

The fix is to ignore the return value of wait_event_timeout(), and
to re-check the SMI done bit after wait_event_timeout() returns to
determine whether or not the SMI access timed out.

170e7108a3 mv643xx_eth: fix receive checksumming
We have to explicitly tell the hardware to include the pseudo-header
when doing receive checksumming, otherwise hardware checksumming will
fail for every received packet and we'll end up setting CHECKSUM_NONE
on every received packet.

While we're at it, when skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
on received packets, skb->csum is supposed to be undefined, and thus
there is no need to set it.

457b1d5a4b mv643xx_eth: add support for chips without transmit bandwidth control
Add support for mv643xx_eth versions that have no transmit bandwidth
control registers at all, such as the ethernet block found in the
Marvell 88F6183 ARM SoC.

6b8f90c276 mv643xx_eth: avoid reading ->byte_cnt twice during receive processing
Currently, the receive processing reads ->byte_cnt twice (once to
update interface statistics and once to properly size the data area
of the received skb), but since receive descriptors live in uncached
memory, caching this value in a local variable saves one uncached
access, and increases routing performance a tiny little bit more.

2b4a624d70 mv643xx_eth: shrink default receive and transmit queue sizes
Since the size of the receive queue is directly related to the data
cache footprint of the driver (between refilling a receive ring entry
with a fresh skb and receiving a packet in that entry, queue_size - 1
other skbs will have been touched), shrink the default receive queue
size to a saner number of entries, as 400 is definite overkill for
almost all workloads.

While we are at it, trim the default transmit queue size a bit as well.

99ab08e091 mv643xx_eth: replace array of skbs awaiting transmit completion with a queue
Get rid of the skb pointer array that we currently use for transmit
reclaim, and replace it with an skb queue, to which skbuffs are appended
when they are passed to the xmit function, and removed from the front
and freed when we do transmit queue reclaim and hit a descriptor with
the 'owned by device' bit clear and 'last descriptor' bit set.

a418950c13 mv643xx_eth: avoid dropping tx lock during transmit reclaim
By moving DMA unmapping during transmit reclaim back under the netif
tx lock, we avoid the situation where we read the DMA address and buffer
length from the descriptor under the lock and then not do anything with
that data after dropping the lock on platforms where the DMA unmapping
routines are all NOPs (which is the case on all ARM platforms that
mv643xx_eth is used on at least).

This saves two uncached reads, which makes a small but measurable
performance difference in routing benchmarks.

8fd89211bf mv643xx_eth: switch to netif tx queue lock, get rid of private spinlock
Since our ->hard_start_xmit() method is already called under spinlock
protection (the netif tx queue lock), we can simply make that lock
cover the private transmit state (descriptor ring indexes et al.) as
well, which avoids having to use a private lock to protect that state.

Since this was the last user of the driver-private spinlock, it can
be killed off.

Move link status handling, transmit reclaim and TX_END handling from
the interrupt handler to the napi poll handler.  This allows switching
->lock over to a non-IRQ-safe lock and removes all explicit interrupt

e5ef1de198 mv643xx_eth: transmit multiqueue support
As all the infrastructure for multiple transmit queues already exists
in the driver, this patch is entirely trivial.

The individual transmit queues are still serialised by the driver's
per-port private spinlock, but that will disappear (i.e. be replaced
by the per-subqueue ->_xmit_lock) in a subsequent patch.

befefe2177 mv643xx_eth: delete unused and uninteresting interrupt source mask bits
Delete a couple of unused and uninteresting interrupt source mask bits:
- The receive resource underrun interrupt sources are uninteresting
  because if we are in out-of-memory mode, we are already dealing with
  the issue, and we don't need the hardware to remind us again that we
  are out of memory.
- The LINK and PHY interrupt sources can be coalesced into one define,
  since we always use them together.
- The transmit resource underrun interrupt source can be disabled since
  we never activate the head descriptor of a paged skb until the
  fragments are all activated, so transmit underrun during a packet
  should never happen.
- The INT_EXT_TX_0 define is never used.
