The stack currently detects reordering and avoid spurious
retransmission very well. However the throughput is sub-optimal under
high reordering because cwnd is increased only if the data is deliverd
in order. I.e., FLAG_DATA_ACKED check in tcp_ack(). The more packet
are reordered the worse the throughput is.
Therefore when reordering is proven high, cwnd should advance whenever
the data is delivered regardless of its ordering. If reordering is low,
conservatively advance cwnd only on ordered deliveries in Open state,
and retain cwnd in Disordered state (RFC5681).
Using netperf on a qdisc setup of 20Mbps BW and random RTT from 45ms
to 55ms (for reordering effect). This change increases TCP throughput
by 20 - 25% to near bottleneck BW.
A special case is the stretched ACK with new SACK and/or ECE mark.
For example, a receiver may receive an out of order or ECN packet with
unacked data buffered because of LRO or delayed ACK. The principle on
such an ACK is to advance cwnd on the cummulative acked part first,
then reduce cwnd in tcp_fastretrans_alert().

For some reason, my PCIe RTL8111E onboard NIC on a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
motherboard reads as FFs when reading from MMIO with a block size
larger than 7. Therefore change to reading blocks of four bytes.
Ben Hutchings noted that the buffer is large enough to hold all
registers, so now all registers are read.

This reverts commit 58ad436fcf49810aa006016107f494c9ac9013db.
It turns out that the change introduced a potential deadlock
by causing a locking dependency with netlink's cb_mutex. I
can't seem to find a way to resolve this without doing major
changes to the locking, so revert this.

Jeff Kirsher says:
====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to igb and e1000e.
Akeem provides 3 igb patches, the first resets the link when EEE is enabled
or disabled if the link is up. His second patch changes a register read
which normally stores of the read value to "just-read" so that hardware
can accurately latch the register read. Lastly, he adds rcu_lock to avoid
a possible race condition with igb_update_stats function.
Mitch provides a fix for SR-IOV, where MSI-X interrupts are required, so
make sure that MSI-X is enabled before allowing the user to turn on SR-IOV.
Alex's igb patch make it so that we limit the lower bound for max_frame_size
to the size of a standard Ethernet frame. This allows for feature parity
with other Intel based drivers such as ixgbe.
Carolyn adds a SKU for a flashless i210 device and a fix for get_fw_version()
so that it works for all parts for igb. In addition, she has 2 igb patches
to refactor NVM code to accommodate devices with no flash. Lastly, she
adds code to check for the failure of pci_disable_link_state() to attempt
to work around a problem found with some systems.
Laura provides the remaining 2 igb patches. One removing the hard-coded
value for the size of the RETA indirection table, and creates a macro instead
for the RETA indirection table. The second adds the ethtool callbacks
necessary to change the RETA indirection table from userspace.
Bruce fixes a whitespace issue in a recent commit and resolves a jiffies
comparison warning by using time_after().
Li provides a fix for e1000e to avoid a kernel crash on shutdown by adding
one more check in e1000e_shutdown(). This is due to e1000e_shutdown()
trying to clear correctable errors on the upstream P2P bridge, when under
some cases we do not have the upstream P2P bridge.
v2:
- fixed patch 11 conditional statement from < to <= based on feedback
from Ben Hutchings
- fixed patch 12 patch description (adding the commit summary) based
on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov

Currently we use struct efx_mtd to represent a physical NVRAM device
and struct efx_mtd_partition to represent a partition on that device.
But this only really makes sense for Falcon, as we don't know or care
whether MC-managed NVRAM partitions are on one or more physical
devices. It complicates iteration and provides little benefit.
Therefore:
- Replace the pointer to efx_mtd in mtd_info::priv with a pointer to efx_nic
- Move the falcon_spi_device pointer into the union in struct efx_mtd_partition
- Move the device name to efx_mtd_partition::dev_type_name
- Move the efx_mtd_ops pointer to efx_nic::mtd_ops
- Make efx_nic::mtd_list a list of partitions

On Falcon we implement MAC filtering requested by the stack using the
MAC wrapper's single unicast filter and multicast hash filter. Siena
is very similar, though MAC configuration is mediated by the MC.
Since MCDI operations may sleep, reconfiguration is deferred from
ndo_set_rx_mode to a work item. However, it still updates the private
variables describing the filter state synchronously. Contrary to
comments, the later use of these variables is not protected using the
address lock, resulting in race conditions.
Move the state update to a new function
efx_farch_filter_sync_rx_mode() and make the Falcon-arch MAC
configuration functions call that, so that its use is consistently
serialised by the mac_lock.
Invert and rename the promiscuous flag to the more accurate
unicast_filter, and comment that both this and multicast_hash are
not used on EF10.

MAC filters inserted on request from the stack (ndo_set_rx_mode)
should allow manual steering but not removal. Currently we have a
special case for Siena's all-multicast and all-unicast MAC filters,
but on EF10 we need to allow for steering of precise MAC filters as
well.
The EFX_FILTER_FLAG_RX_STACK flag changes the behaviour of replacement
and removal requests:
- Replacement *of* a filter with this flag never clears the flag but
does change steering and saved priority
- Replacement *by* a filter with this flag only sets the flag but does
not change steering
- Removal with priority < EFX_FILTER_PRI_REQUIRED really resets RX
steering and saved priority
This could support precise MAC filtering on Siena in future.
As a side-benefit, the default MAC filters are hidden from ethtool
until they are steered.

Aside from accelerated RFS, there is almost nothing that can be shared
between the filter table implementations for the Falcon architecture
and EF10.

Currently every call to efx_farch_filter_table_clear_entry() is
shortly followed by a conditional reset of the table limits. The new
limits (0) are not pushed to hardware until the next filter insertion.
Move both the reset and the hardware reconfiguration into
efx_farch_filter_table_clear_entry(), and add an explanatory comment.
Also, make consistent use of the term 'search limit' for the maximum
number of probes the NIC must make when searching for a filter of a

The filter table(s) on EF10 are managed by firmware and will need
almost entirely separate code. Rename the types and functions used
within the existing implementation. The current definition of struct
efx_filter_spec is really implementation-specific, so we need to keep
it. For now, define a separate structure for the internal
representation but leave them identical.

This reverts commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826.
The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the
random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators
that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't
specified.
In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774
So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch
for that. Revert this older commit in order to apply the other one.

errors on the upstream P2P bridge. Unfortunately, we don't have

This patch adds the ethtool callbacks necessary to change the RETA
indirection table from userspace.
In order to achieve this, we add the indirection table field (rss_indir_tbl)
in the board specific data structure (struct igb_adapter) to preserve the
values across hardware resets.
The indirection table must be initialized with default values in the
following cases:
* at module init time
* when the number of RX queues changes.
For this reason we add a new field (rss_indir_tbl_init) in igb_adapter
that keeps track of the number of RX queues. Whenever the number of RX
queues changes, the rss_indir_tbl is modified and initialized with default
values. The rss_indir_tbl_init is updated accordingly.

This fixes a regression exposed during the merge window by commit
9f310de "ARM: tegra: fix VBUS regulator GPIO polarity in DT"; namely that
USB VBUS doesn't get turned on, so USB devices are not detected. This
affects the internal USB port on TrimSlice (i.e. the USB->SATA bridge, to
which the SSD is connected) and the external port(s) on Seaboard/
Springbank and Whistler.
The Tegra DT as written in v3.11 allows two paths to enable USB VBUS:
1) Via the legacy DT binding for the USB controller; it can directly
acquire a VBUS GPIO and activate it.
2) Via a regulator for VBUS, which is referenced by the new DT binding
for the USB controller.
Those two methods both use the same GPIO, and hence whichever of the
USB controller and regulator gets probed first ends up owning the GPIO.
In practice, the USB driver only supports path (1) above, since the
patches to support the new USB binding are not present until v3.12:-(
In practice, the regulator ends up being probed first and owning the
GPIO. Since nothing enables the regulator (the USB driver code is not
yet present), the regulator ends up being turned off. This originally
caused no problem, because the polarity in the regulator definition was
incorrect, so attempting to turn off the regulator actually turned it
on, and everything worked:-(
However, when testing the new USB driver code in v3.12, I noticed the
incorrect polarity and fixed it in commit 9f310de "ARM: tegra: fix VBUS
regulator GPIO polarity in DT". In the context of v3.11, this patch then
caused the USB VBUS to actually turn off, which broke USB ports with VBUS
control. I got this patch included in v3.11-rc1 since it fixed a bug in
device tree (incorrect polarity specification), and hence was suitable to
be included early in the rc series. I evidently did not test the patch at
all, or correctly, in the context of v3.11, and hence did not notice the
issue that I have explained above:-(
Fix this by making the USB VBUS regulators always enabled. This way, if
the regulator owns the GPIO, it will always be turned on, even if there
is no USB driver code to request the regulator be turned on. Even
ignoring this bug, this is a reasonable way to configure the HW anyway.
If this patch is applied to v3.11, it will cause a couple pretty trivial
conflicts in tegra20-{trimslice,seaboard}.dts when creating v3.12, since
the context right above the added lines changed in patches destined for
v3.12.
