This driver works with both, static platform data and device tree
bindings. It has been tested on a TQM855L board with two AN82527
CAN controllers on the local bus.

edd2c26ffb can: cc770: add legacy ISA bus driver for the CC770 and AN82527
This patch adds support for legacy Bosch CC770 and Intel AN82527 CAN
controllers on the ISA or PC-104 bus. The I/O port or memory address
and the IRQ number must be specified via module parameters:

  insmod cc770_isa.ko port=0x310,0x380 irq=7,11

for ISA devices using I/O ports or:

  insmod cc770_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11

for memory mapped ISA devices.

Indirect access via address and data port is supported as well:

  insmod cc770_isa.ko port=0x310,0x380 indirect=1 irq=7,11

Furthermore, the following mode parameter can be defined:

  clk: External oscillator clock frequency (default=16000000 [16 MHz])
  cir: CPU interface register (default=0x40 [DSC])
  bcr: Bus configuration register (default=0x40 [CBY])
  cor: Clockout register (default=0x00)

Note: for clk, cir, bcr and cor, the first argument re-defines the
default for all other devices, e.g.:

  insmod cc770_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 clk=24000000

is equivalent to

  insmod cc770_isa.ko mem=0xd1000,0xd1000 irq=7,11 clk=24000000,24000000

d7d75960ea icplus: mdio_write(), remove unnecessary for loop
At this point the variable j is always set to 7 and the code within
the loop has to run only once anyway.

As suggested by David Miller:
"You can simply this even further since p[7] is what is used here,
and this means len is one, the inner loop therefore executes only
once, and the p[7].field value is not used (it's zero in the table)
and the write to it is completely thrown away."

7bc0f28c7a netem: rate extension
Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static
delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured.

To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used.  But
TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot
be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if
no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new
packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where
nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s
link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0
seconds.

Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static
delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the
user can skip TBF configuration completely.

This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g:

	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit

To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms:

	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 10ms rate 5KBps

Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing
system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g.
10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues
living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).

c7e963f688 net/smsc911x: Add regulator support
Add some basic regulator support for the power pins, as needed
by the ST-Ericsson Snowball platform that powers up the SMSC911
chip using an external regulator.

Platforms that use regulators and the smsc911x and have no defined
regulator for the smsc911x and claim complete regulator
constraints with no dummy regulators will need to provide it, for
example using a fixed voltage regulator. It appears that this may
affect (apart from Ux500 Snowball) possibly these archs/machines
that from some grep:s appear to define both CONFIG_SMSC911X and
CONFIG_REGULATOR:

- ARM Freescale mx3 and OMAP 2 plus, Raumfeld machines

f07d960df3 tcp: avoid frag allocation for small frames
tcp_sendmsg() uses select_size() helper to choose skb head size when a
new skb must be allocated.

If GSO is enabled for the socket, current strategy is to force all
payload data to be outside of headroom, in PAGE fragments.

This strategy is not welcome for small packets, wasting memory.

Experiments show that best results are obtained when using 2048 bytes
for skb head (This includes the skb overhead and various headers)

This patch provides better len/truesize ratios for packets sent to
loopback device, and reduce memory needs for in-flight loopback packets,
particularly on arches with big pages.

If a sender sends many 1-byte packets to an unresponsive application,
receiver rmem_alloc will grow faster and will stop queuing these packets
sooner, or will collapse its receive queue to free excess memory.

netperf -t TCP_RR results are improved by ~4 %, and many workloads are
improved as well (tbench, mysql...)

Thanks David !

Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of
two 32bit load/stores.

[PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store

gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the
future. We only need to make sure our flow_keys (src,dst) fields wont
break the rule.

114cf58021 bql: Byte queue limits
Networking stack support for byte queue limits, uses dynamic queue
limits library.  Byte queue limits are maintained per transmit queue,
and a dql structure has been added to netdev_queue structure for this
purpose.

Configuration of bql is in the tx-<n> sysfs directory for the queue
under the byte_queue_limits directory.  Configuration includes:
limit_min, bql minimum limit
limit_max, bql maximum limit
hold_time, bql slack hold time

Also under the directory are:
limit, current byte limit
inflight, current number of bytes on the queue

927fbec13e xps: Add xps_queue_release function
This patch moves the xps specific parts in netdev_queue_release into
its own function which netdev_queue_release can call.  This allows
netdev_queue_release to be more generic (for adding new attributes
to tx queues).

c5d67bd78c net: Add netdev interfaces for recording sends/comp
Add interfaces for drivers to call for recording number of packets and
bytes at send time and transmit completion.  Also, added a function to
"reset" a queue.  These will be used by Byte Queue Limits.

7346649826 net: Add queue state xoff flag for stack
Create separate queue state flags so that either the stack or drivers
can turn on XOFF.  Added a set of functions used in the stack to determine
if a queue is really stopped (either by stack or driver)

75957ba36c dql: Dynamic queue limits
Implementation of dynamic queue limits (dql).  This is a libary which
allows a queue limit to be dynamically managed.  The goal of dql is
to set the queue limit, number of objects to the queue, to be minimized
without allowing the queue to be starved.

dql would be used with a queue which has these properties:

1) Objects are queued up to some limit which can be expressed as a
   count of objects.
2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed
   objects.
3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has
   actually been consumed but completion processing has not yet run,
   so queuing new data is blocked.
4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable.

A canonical example of such a queue would be a NIC HW transmit queue.

The queue limit is dynamic, it will increase or decrease over time
depending on the workload.  The queue limit is recalculated each time
completion processing is done.  Increases occur when the queue is
starved and can exponentially increase over successive intervals.
Decreases occur when more data is being maintained in the queue than
needed to prevent starvation.  The number of extra objects, or "slack",
is measured over successive intervals, and to avoid hysteresis the
limit is only reduced by the miminum slack seen over a configurable
time period.

dql API provides routines to manage the queue:
- dql_init is called to intialize the dql structure
- dql_reset is called to reset dynamic values
- dql_queued called when objects are being enqueued
- dql_avail returns availability in the queue
- dql_completed is called when objects have be consumed in the queue

Configuration consists of:
- max_limit, maximum limit
- min_limit, minimum limit
- slack_hold_time, time to measure instances of slack before reducing
  queue limit
