<id>urn:sha1:678d5802556b3c2b3067b5f7d95e77aef94bddd4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit dabffd08545ffa1d7183bc45e387860984025291 upstream.

MANA hardware requires at least one doorbell ring every 8 wraparounds
of the CQ. The driver rings the doorbell as a form of flow control to
inform hardware that CQEs have been consumed.

The NAPI poll functions mana_poll_tx_cq() and mana_poll_rx_cq() can
poll up to CQE_POLLING_BUFFER (512) completions per call. If the CQ
has fewer than 512 entries, a single poll call can process more than
4 wraparounds without ringing the doorbell. The doorbell threshold
check also uses "&gt;" instead of "&gt;=", delaying the ring by one extra
CQE beyond 4 wraparounds. Combined, these issues can cause the driver
to exceed the 8-wraparound hardware limit, leading to missed
completions and stalled queues.

Fix this by capping the number of CQEs polled per call to 4 wraparounds
of the CQ in both TX and RX paths. Also change the doorbell threshold
from "&gt;" to "&gt;=" so the doorbell is rung as soon as 4 wraparounds are
reached.

[ Upstream commit 87c2302813abc55c46485711a678e3c312b00666 ]

In mana_gd_setup() error path, set gc-&gt;service_wq to NULL after
destroy_workqueue() to match the cleanup in mana_gd_cleanup().
This prevents a use-after-free if the workqueue pointer is checked
after a failed setup.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit f975a0955276579e2176a134366ed586071c7c6a ]

While testing corner cases in the driver, a use-after-free crash
was found on the service rescan PCI path.

When mana_serv_reset() calls mana_gd_suspend(), mana_gd_cleanup()
destroys gc-&gt;service_wq. If the subsequent mana_gd_resume() fails
with -ETIMEDOUT or -EPROTO, the code falls through to
mana_serv_rescan() which triggers pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device().
This invokes the PCI .remove callback (mana_gd_remove), which calls
mana_gd_cleanup() a second time, attempting to destroy the already-
freed workqueue. Fix this by NULL-checking gc-&gt;service_wq in
mana_gd_cleanup() and setting it to NULL after destruction.

If HW Channel (HWC) is not responding, reduce the waiting time, so further
steps will fail quickly.
This will prevent getting stuck for a long time (30 minutes or more), for
example, during unloading while HWC is not responding.

NET_SHAPER is always selected for MANA driver. When NET_SHAPER is enabled,
netdev_lock_ops_to_full() reduces effectively to only an assert for lock,
which is always held in the path when NET_SHAPER is enabled.

Remove the redundant netdev_lock_ops_to_full() call.

<title>net: mana: Use page pool fragments for RX buffers instead of full pages to improve memory efficiency.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:730ff06d3f5cc2ce0348414b78c10528b767d4a3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch enhances RX buffer handling in the mana driver by allocating
pages from a page pool and slicing them into MTU-sized fragments, rather
than dedicating a full page per packet. This approach is especially
beneficial on systems with large base page sizes like 64KB.

Key improvements:

- Proper integration of page pool for RX buffer allocations.
- MTU-sized buffer slicing to improve memory utilization.
- Reduce overall per Rx queue memory footprint.
- Automatic fallback to full-page buffers when:
   * Jumbo frames are enabled (MTU &gt; PAGE_SIZE / 2).
   * The XDP path is active, to avoid complexities with fragment reuse.

Testing on VMs with 64KB pages shows around 200% throughput improvement.
Memory efficiency is significantly improved due to reduced wastage in page
allocations. Example: We are now able to fit 35 rx buffers in a single 64kb
page for MTU size of 1500, instead of 1 rx buffer per page previously.

Tested:

- iperf3, iperf2, and nttcp benchmarks.
- Jumbo frames with MTU 9000.
- Native XDP programs (XDP_PASS, XDP_DROP, XDP_TX, XDP_REDIRECT) for
  testing the XDP path in driver.
- Memory leak detection (kmemleak).
- Driver load/unload, reboot, and stress scenarios.
