The SGE Host Page Size has nothing to do with the actual
Host Page Size. It's the SGE's BAR2 Doorbell/GTS Page Size
for interpreting the SGE Ingress/Egress Queue per Page values.
Firmware reads all of these things and makes all the
subsequent changes necessary. The Host Driver uses the SGE
Host Page Size in order to properly calculate BAR2 Offsets.

Change the frame consume callback signature:
* the entire FQ structure is passed to the callback instead
of just the queue index
* the NAPI structure can be easily obtained from the channel
it is associated to, so we don't need to pass it explicitly

The DPNI object on which we build a network interface has a
certain number of {Rx, Tx, Tx confirmation} frame queues as
resources. The default hardware setup offers one queue of each
type, as well as one DPCON channel, for each core available
in the system.
There are however cases where the number of queues is greater
than the number of cores or channels. Until now, we configured
and used all the frame queues associated with a DPNI, even if it
meant assigning multiple queues of one type to the same channel.
Update the driver to only use a number of queues equal to the
number of channels, ensuring each channel will contain exactly
one Rx and one Tx confirmation queue.
>From the user viewpoint, this change is completely transparent.
Performance wise there is no impact in most scenarios. In case
the number of queues is larger than and not a multiple of the
number of channels, Rx hash distribution offers now better load
balancing between cores, which can have a positive impact on
overall system performance.

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-11-14
This series contains updates to i40e and virtchnl.
Lance Roy updates i40e to use lockdep_assert_held() instead of
spin_is_locked(), since it is better suited to check locking
requirements.
Jan improves the code readability in XDP by adding the use of a local
variable. Provides protection on methods that create/modify/destroy
VF's via locking mechanism to prevent unstable behaviour and potential
kernel panics.
Krzysztof adds a hardware capability flag to indicate whether firmware
supports stopping the LLDP agent.
Patryk replaces the use of strncpy() with strlcpy() to ensure the buffer
is NULL terminated.
Mitch fixes the issue of trying to start nway on devices that do not
support auto-negotiation, by checking the autoneg state before
attempting to restart nway.
Alice updates virtchnl to keep the checks all together for ease of
readability and consistency. Also fixed a "off by one" error in the
number of traffic classes being calculated.
Richard fixed VF port VLANs, where the priority bits were incorrectly
set because the incorrect shift and mask bits were being used.
Alan adds a bit to set and check if a timeout recovery is already
pending to prevent overlapping transmit timeout recovery.

The device requires that the master mask of each region will be
composed from a logical OR between all the unmasked bits in the region.
Currently, this is just a logical OR between all the eRPs used in the
region, but the next patch is going to introduce delta bits support
which need to be taken into account as well.
Since the eRP does not include the delta bits, pass the key pointer to
mlxsw_sp_acl_erp_master_mask_set/clear instead. Convert key->mask to
the bitmap on fly.

Currently the ERPs are tracked internally in a hashtable. Benefit from
the newly introduced objagg library and use it to track ERPs. At this
point, there is no nesting of objects done, as the delta_create callback
always returns -EOPNOTSUPP. On the way, add "mask" into ERP mask get and

100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-11-13
This series contains updates to the ice driver only.
Brett cleans up debug print messages by removing useless or duplicate
messages, and make sure we assign the hardware head pointer to head
instead of the software head pointer. Resolved an issue when disabling
SRIOV we were trying to stop queues multiple times, so make sure we
disable SRIOV before stopping transmit and receive queues for VF.
Tony fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference during a VF reset.
Anirudh resolves an issue where we were releasing the VSI before
removing the VSI scheduler node, which was resulting in an error "Failed
to set LAN Tx queue context, error: -1". Also fixed the guaranteed
number of VSIs available and used by discovering the device
capabilities to determine the 'guar_num_vsi' per function, rather than
always using the theoretical max number of VSIs every time.
Dave avoids a deadlock by nesting RTNL locking, so added a boolean to
determine if the RTNL lock is already held.
Lev fixes bad mask values which would break compilation.
Piotr increases the receive queue disable timeout since it can take
additional time to finish all pending queue requests.
Usha resolves an issue of VLAN priority tagged traffic not appearing on
all traffic classes, which was causing ETS bandwidth shaping to not work
as expected.
Henry fixes the reset path to cleanup the old scheduler tree before
rebuilding it.
Md Fahad removes a unnecessary check which was causing a driver load
error on platforms with more than 128 cores.

If a TX hang occurs, we attempt to recover by incrementally resetting.
If we're starved for CPU time, it's possible the reset doesn't actually
complete (or even fire) before another tx_timeout fires causing us to
fly through the different resets without actually doing them.
This adds a bit to set and check if a timeout recovery is already
pending and, if so, bail out of tx_timeout. The bit will get cleared at
the end of i40e_rebuild when reset is complete.

The i40e driver complains about unprivileged VFs trying to configure
promiscuous mode each time a VF reset occurs. This isn't the fault of
the poor VF driver - the PF driver itself is making the request.
To fix this, skip the privilege check if the request is to disable all
promiscuous activity. This gets rid of the bogus message, but doesn't
affect privilege checks, since we really only care if the unprivileged
VF is trying to enable promiscuous mode.

In preparation of handling more Qdisc types switch to a different

the driver. Every time the hierarchy changes parse it, and update
the configuration of the HW accordingly.

RED qdisc will replace its child Qdisc with a new FIFO queue if
it is reconfigured and the limit parameter is not 0.
This means that when it's created with limit of 0 it will have no FIFO,
and all packets will be dropped. If it's changed and limit is specified
it will loose its existing child (implicit graft). Make sure we mark
RED Qdisc child as NFP_QDISC_UNTRACKED if its not the expected FIFO.

Using graft notifications recreate in the driver the full Qdisc

to the hierarchy to make sure we don't offload Qdiscs which are

graft events of Qdiscs we don't know exist make the child as

Note that MQ Qdisc doesn't send destruction events reliably when

Each slave has it's own receive timestamp filter. But cpts rx/tx
timestamp enable flags are used to allow ts retrieve only for one
user. This limitation causes data path redundancy and setting overlap
if cpsw module is in dual-mac mode for instance.
If rx ts is enabled only for one port - the second interface must expect
every incoming packet to be PTP packet w/o absolutely any reason, and if
it's PTP - do unneeded stuff, as rx filter for second port is not set
and cpts fifo is not supposed to contain appropriate ts event.
That's not correct.
So, to fix control overlap and avoid redundant CPU cycles, the patch
splits rx/tx ts enable flags between network devices. After the patch,
PTP timestamping still should be used for only one port (or PTP id
counter has to be different for both ports as cpts IP is common).
