1c3ac4289a bonding: send igmp report for its master
Liang Zheng(lzheng@redhat.com) found that in the following topo,
bonding does not send igmp report when we trigger a fail-over of bonding.

eth0--
      |-- bond0 -- br0
eth1--

modprobe bonding mode=1 miimon=100 resend_igmp=10
ifconfig bond0 up
ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1

brctl addbr br0
ifconfig br0 192.168.100.2/24 up
brctl addif br0 bond0

Add 192.168.100.2(br0) into a multicast group, like 224.10.10.10,
then trigger a fali-over in bonding.
You can see that parameter "resend_igmp" does not work.

The reason is that when we add br0 into a multicast group,
it does not propagate multicast knowledge down to its ports.

If we choose to propagate multicast knowledge down to all ports for bridge,
then we have to track every change that is done to bridge, and keep a backup
for all ports. It is hard to track, I think.

Instead I choose to modify bonding to send igmp report for its master.

Changelog:
V2: correct comments
V3: move this check into bond_resend_igmp_join_requests()
V4: only send igmp reports if bond is enslaved to a bridge

8f4a0a3d9f ixgbe: Fix issues with SR-IOV loopback when flow control is disabled
This patch allows us to avoid a Tx hang when SR-IOV is enabled.  This hang
can be triggered by sending small packets at a rate that was triggering Rx
missed errors from the adapter while the internal Tx switch and at least
one VF are enabled.

This was all due to the fact that under heavy stress the Rx FIFO never
drained below the flow control high water mark.  This resulted in the Tx
FIFO being head of line blocked due to the fact that it relies on the flow
control high water mark to determine when it is acceptable for the Tx to
place a packet in the Rx FIFO.

The resolution for this is to set the FCRTH value to the RXPBSIZE - 32 so
that even if the ring is almost completely full we can still place Tx
packets on the Rx ring and drop incoming Rx traffic if we do not have
sufficient space available in the Rx FIFO.

da24e906cb net/hyperv: Fix the code handling tx busy
Instead of dropping the packet, we keep the skb buffer, and return
NETDEV_TX_BUSY to let upper layer retry send. This will not cause
endless loop, because the host is taking data away from ring buffer,
and we have called the stop_queue before returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY.

The stop_queue was called in the function netvsc_send() in file 
netvsc.c, then it returns to rndis_filter_send(), which returns to
netvsc_start_xmit() in file netvsc_drv.c. So the NETDEV_TX_BUSY is
indeed returned AFTER queue is stopped.

8af3c33f4d ixgbe: fix namespace issues when FCoE/DCB is not enabled
Resolve namespace issues when FCoE or DCB is not enabled.
The issue is with certain configurations we end up with namespace
problems. A simple example:

ixgbe_main.c
 - defines func A()
 - uses func A()

ixgbe_fcoe.c
 - uses func A()

ixgbe.h
 - has prototype for func A()

For default (FCoE included) all is good.  But when it isn't the namespace
checker complains about how func A() could be static.

To resolve this, created a ixgbe_lib file to contain functions used
by DCB/FCoE and their helper functions so that they are always in
namespace whether or not DCB/FCoE is enabled.

567d2de291 ixgbe: Correct flag values set by ixgbe_fix_features
This patch replaces the variable name data with the variable name features
for ixgbe_fix_features and ixgbe_set_features.  This helps to make some
issues more obvious such as the fact that we were disabling Rx VLAN tag
stripping when we should have been forcing it to be enabled when DCB is
enabled.

In addition there was deprecated code present that was disabling the LRO
flag if we had the itr value set too low.  I have updated this logic so
that we will now allow the LRO flag to be set, but will not enable RSC
until the rx-usecs value is high enough to allow enough time for Rx packet
coalescing.

729739b754 ixgbe: always write DMA for single_mapped value with skb
This change makes it so that we always write the DMA address for the skb
itself on the same tx_buffer struct that the skb is written on.  This way
we don't need the MAPPED_AS_PAGE flag and we always know it will be the
first DMA value that we will have to unmap.

In addition I have found an issue in which we were leaking a DMA mapping if
the value happened to be 0 which is possible on some platforms.  In order
to resolve that I have updated the transmit path to use the length instead
of the DMA mapping in order to determine if a mapping is actually present.

One other tweak in this patch is that it only writes the olinfo information
on the first descriptor.  As it turns out it isn't necessary to write it
for anything but the first descriptor so there is no need to carry it
forward.

a50c29dd09 ixgbe: Make certain that all frames fit minimum size requirements
This change makes certain that any packet we attempt to transmit will meet
minimum size requirements for the hardware.

655309e944 ixgbe: cleanup logic in ixgbe_change_mtu
This change is meant to just cleanup the logic in ixgbe_change_mtu since we
are making it unnecessarily complex due to a workaround required for 82599
when SR-IOV is enabled.

f800326dca ixgbe: Replace standard receive path with a page based receive
This patch replaces the existing Rx hot-path in the ixgbe driver with a new
implementation that is based on performing a double buffered receive.  The
ixgbe driver already had something similar in place for its' packet split
path, however in that case we were still receiving the header for the
packet into the sk_buff.  The big change here is the entire receive path
will receive into pages only, and then pull the header out of the page and
copy it into the sk_buff data.  There are several motivations behind this
approach.

First, this allows us to avoid several cache misses as we were taking a
set of cache misses for allocating the sk_buff and then another set for
receiving data into the sk_buff.  We are able to avoid these misses on
receive now as we allocate the sk_buff when data is available.

Second we are able to see a considerable performance gain when an IOMMU is
enabled because we are no longer unmapping every buffer on receive.
Instead we can delay the unmap until we are unable to use the page, and
instead we can simply call sync_single_range on the half of the page that
contains new data.

Finally we are able to drop a considerable amount of code from the driver
as we no longer have to support 2 different receive modes, packet split and
one buffer.  This allows us to optimize the Rx path further since less
branching is required.
