net: systemport: Fix module autoload for OF platform driver

2015-09-21T23:08:21Z

This platform driver has a OF device ID table but the OF module alias information is not created so module autoloading won't work. Signed-off-by: Luis de Bethencourt Acked-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: systemport: Add netconsole support

2015-07-31T22:45:37Z

Implement a poll controller for netconsole which invokes the RX interrupt handler to poll for incoming packets, and cleans up all TX queues by invoking the TX interrupt handler. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: systemport: Use eth_hw_addr_random

2015-07-09T21:51:15Z

Use eth_hw_addr_random() instead of calling random_ether_addr(). Here, this change is setting addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_RANDOM. The Coccinelle semantic patch that performs this transformation is as follows: @@ identifier a,b; @@ -random_ether_addr(a->b); +eth_hw_addr_random(a); Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar Tested-by: Florian Fainelli Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S.

net: systemport: Add a check for oversized packets

2015-05-31T06:51:25Z

Occasionnaly we may get oversized packets from the hardware which exceed the nomimal 2KiB buffer size we allocate SKBs with. Add an early check which drops the packet to avoid invoking skb_over_panic() and move on to processing the next packet. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: systemport: rewrite bcm_sysport_rx_refill

2015-05-31T06:51:17Z

Currently, bcm_sysport_desc_rx() calls bcm_sysport_rx_refill() at the end of Rx packet processing loop, after the current Rx packet has already been passed to napi_gro_receive(). However, bcm_sysport_rx_refill() might fail to allocate a new Rx skb, thus leaving a hole on the Rx queue where no valid Rx buffer exists. To eliminate this situation: 1. Rewrite bcm_sysport_rx_refill() to retain the current Rx skb on the Rx queue if a new replacement Rx skb can't be allocated and DMA-mapped. In this case, the data on the current Rx skb is effectively dropped. 2. Modify bcm_sysport_desc_rx() to call bcm_sysport_rx_refill() at the top of Rx packet processing loop, so that the new replacement Rx skb is already in place before the current Rx skb is processed. This is loosely inspired from d6707bec5986 ("net: bcmgenet: rewrite bcmgenet_rx_refill()") Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: systemport: Pre-calculate and utilize cb->bd_addr

2015-05-31T06:51:09Z

There is a 1:1 mapping between the software maintained control block in priv->rx_cbs and the buffer address in priv->rx_bds, such that there is no need to keep computing the buffer address when refiling a control block. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: systemport: Implement RX coalescing control knobs

2015-05-13T03:08:46Z

Similarly to the TX path, allow the RX path to be configured with both 'rx-frames' and 'rx-usecs' coalescing parameters. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: systemport: Implement TX coalescing control knobs

2015-05-13T03:08:46Z

Add the ability to configure both 'tx-frames' which controls how many frames are doing to trigger a single interrupt and 'tx-usecs' which dictates how long to wait before an interrupt should be services. Since our timer resolution is close to 8.192 us, we round up to the nearest value the 'tx-usecs' timeout value. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: systemport: fix software maintained statistics

2015-03-01T19:02:11Z

Commit 60b4ea1781fd ("net: systemport: log RX buffer allocation and RX/TX DMA failures") added a few software maintained statistics using BCM_SYSPORT_STAT_MIB_RX and BCM_SYSPORT_STAT_MIB_TX. These statistics are read from the hardware MIB counters, such that bcm_sysport_update_mib_counters() was trying to read from a non-existing MIB offset for these counters. Fix this by introducing a special type: BCM_SYSPORT_STAT_SOFT, similar to BCM_SYSPORT_STAT_NETDEV, such that bcm_sysport_get_ethtool_stats will read from the software mib.

Merge tag 'driver-core-3.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2014-12-15T00:10:09Z

Pull driver core update from Greg KH: "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1. They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just removing a line in a structure. Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.
