39549eef35 can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interface
The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to
setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of
common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device
drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver
to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko.

Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN
device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite.

For further information please check "Documentation/networking/can.txt"

450c4ea15e vlan: use struct netdev_queue counters instead of dev->stats
We can update netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped counters instead
of dev->stats ones, to reduce number of cache lines dirtied in xmit path.

This fixes a performance problem on SMP when many different cpus take

7004bf252c net: add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped counters in struct netdev_queue
offsetof(struct net_device, features)=0x44
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_packets)=0x54
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_bytes)=0x5c
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_dropped)=0x6c

Network drivers that touch dev->stats.tx_packets/stats.tx_bytes in their
tx path can slow down SMP operations, since they dirty a cache line
that should stay shared (dev->features is needed in rx and tx paths)

We could move away stats field in net_device but it wont help that much.
(Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only)

Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct
netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and
counters updates will then be free (no increase in size)

264857b8fe ixgbe: Allow link flow control in DCB mode for 82599 adapters
82599 supports using either link flow control or priority flow control when
in DCB mode.  The dcbnl interface already supports sending down
configurations through rtnetlink that can enable LFC when DCB is enabled,
so the driver should take advantage of this.

82598 does not support using LFC when DCB is enabled, so explicitly disable
it when we're in DCB mode.  This means we always run in PFC mode when DCB
is enabled.

184dd3459b fcoe: adds spma mode support
If we can find a type NETDEV_HW_ADDR_T_SAN mac address from the
corresponding netdev for a fcoe interface then sets up added the
fc->ctlr.spma flag and stores spma mode address in ctl_src_addr.

In case the spma flag is set then:-

 1. Adds spma mode MAC address in ctl_src_addr as secondary
    MAC address, the FLOGI for FIP and pre-FIP will go out
    using this address.
 2. Cleans up stored spma MAC address in ctl_src_addr in
    fcoe_netdev_cleanup.
 3. Sets up spma bit in fip_flags for FIP solicitations along
    with exiting FPMA bit setting.
 4. Initialize the FLOGI FIP MAC descriptor to stored spma
    MAC address in ctl_src_addr. This is used as proposed
    FCoE MAC address from initiator along with both SPMA
    and FPMA bit set in FIP solicitation, in response the
    switch may grant any FPMA or SPMA mode MAC address to
    initiator.

Removes FIP descriptor type checking against ELS type
ELS_FLOGI in fcoe_ctlr_encaps to update a FIP MAC descriptor,
instead now checks against FIP_DT_FLOGI.

I've tested this with available FPMA-only FCoE switch but
since data_src_addr is updated using same old code for
both FPMA and SPMA modes with FIP or pre-FIP links, so added
SPMA mode will work with SPMA-only switch also provided that
switch grants a valid MAC address.

ab6b85c1d7 fcoe: consolidates netdev related config and cleanup for spma mode
Currently fcoe_netdev_config adds netdev pkt handler for fcoe pkts,
fcoe_if_create adds netdev pkt handler for fip packets, a secondary
MAC address is added by fcoe_netdev_config and then later cleanup
for these netdev related config/adds is done only during
fcoe_if_destroy and no cleanup done on error during fcoe interface
creation after above netdev config calling in fcoe_if_create.

So this patch adds single func for above mentioned cleanup the
fcoe_netdev_cleanup and then calls this func on either fcoe interface
destroy or exiting from fcoe_if_create due to an error after fcoe/fip
related above netdev config is done.

Moved netdev pkt handler addition code blocks for fip pkts close to
similar code block for foce pkt in fcoe_netdev_config, so that added
fcoe_netdev_cleanup could be called on error from fcoe_netdev_config
to undo these both additions for fcoe/fip pkt handlers. This move
required reference to fcoe_fip_recv in fcoe_netdev_config, so moved
fip related functions fcoe_fip_recv, fcoe_fip_send and
fcoe_update_src_mac above fcoe_netdev_config.

This consolidation will enable spma mode support in next patch to
easily add or delete spma mode mac address beside fixing current
no cleanup issue during error.

aca6bee75f ixgbe: Add SAN MAC address to the RAR, return the address to DCB
After acquiring the SAN MAC address from the EEPROM, we need to program it
into one of the RARs.  Also, DCB will use this MAC address to run DCBX
commands, so it doesn't have to play musical MAC addresses when things like
bonding enter the picture.  So we need to return the MAC address through
the netlink interface to userspace.

This also moves the init_rx_addrs() call out of start_hw() and into
reset_hw().  We shouldn't try to read any of the RAR information before
initializing our internal accounting of the RAR table, which was what
was happening.

9d21493b4b net: tx scalability works : trans_start
struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance
devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties
it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks.

But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock
a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes
sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update
will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for
free.

We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to
update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start.

Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in 
netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind)

d62fda082c bnx2: bnx2_tx_int() optimizations
When using bnx2 in a high transmit load, bnx2_tx_int() cost is pretty high.

There are two reasons.

One is an expensive call to bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) for each freed skb

One is cpu stalls when accessing skb_is_gso(skb) / skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags
because of two cache line misses.
(One to get skb->end/head to compute skb_shinfo(skb),
 one to get is_gso/nr_frags)

This patch :

1) avoids calling bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) too many times.

2) makes bnx2_start_xmit() cache is_gso & nr_frags into sw_tx_bd descriptor.
   This uses a litle bit more ram (256 longs per device on x86), but helps a lot.

3) uses a prefetch(&skb->end) to speedup dev_kfree_skb(), bringing
  cache line that will be needed in skb_release_data()

result is 5 % bandwidth increase in benchmarks, involving UDP or TCP receive
 & transmits, when a cpu is dedicated to ksoftirqd for bnx2.

bnx2_tx_int going from 3.33 % cpu to 0.5 % cpu in oprofile

Note : skb_dma_unmap() still very expensive but this is for another patch,
not related to bnx2 (2.9 % of cpu, while it does nothing on x86_32)

9dc20c5f78 tcp: tcp_prequeue() can use keyed wakeups
When TCP frees up write buffer space, avoid waking up tasks that have
done a poll() or select() on the same socket specifying read-side
events.

This is an extension of a read-side patch by Eric Dumazet.
