Roy.Li a4be637b34 staging/octeon: Software should check the checksum of no tcp/udp packets
Icmp packets with wrong checksum are never dropped since skb->ip_summed is
set to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

When icmp packets with wrong checksum pass through the octeon net driver,
the not_IP, IP_exc, L4_error hardware indicators show no error. so the
driver sets CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on skb->ip_summed.

L4_error only works for TCP/UDP, not for ICMP.

The phy_mii_ioctl() function unnecessarily throws away the original ifreq.
We need access to the ifreq in order to support PHYs that can perform
hardware time stamping.

Two maverick drivers filter the ioctl commands passed to phy_mii_ioctl().
This is unnecessary since phylib will check the command in any case.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

David Daney 4898c56010 Staging: Octeon: Free transmit SKBs in a timely manner
If we wait for the once-per-second cleanup to free transmit SKBs,
sockets with small transmit buffer sizes might spend most of their
time blocked waiting for the cleanup.

Normally we do a cleanup for each transmitted packet.  We add a
watchdog type timer so that we also schedule a timeout for 150uS after
a packet is transmitted.  The watchdog is reset for each transmitted
packet, so for high packet rates, it never expires.  At these high
rates, the cleanups are done for each packet so the extra watchdog
initiated cleanups are neither needed nor triggered.

David Daney aabb89d6fa Staging: Octeon: Use symbolic values for irq numbers.
In addition to being magic numbers, the irq number passed to free_irq
is incorrect.  We need to use the correct symbolic value instead.

Roel Kluin fff9c81529 MIPS: Octeon: False positive timeout
If we reach the test just below the loop with a `timeout' value of 0,
this does not mean that the timeout caused the loop to end, but rather
the `smi_rd.s.pending', in the last iteration. If timeout caused the
loop to end, then `timeout' is -1, not 0.

Since this can occur only in the last iteration, it is not very likely
to be a problem. By changing the post- to prefix decrement we ensure
that a timeout of 0 does mean it timed out.

No need to put ethtool_ops in data, they should be const.

David Daney a620c16326 Staging: octeon-ethernet: Fix race freeing transmit buffers.
The existing code had the following race:

Thread-1                       Thread-2

inc/read in_use
                               inc/read in_use
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
                               inc tx_free_list[qos].len

The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going
to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many
times.  The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while
its packet is still in the transmit buffer.  If the memory is
overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid
checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets).
If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or
ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream.

The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location
(a Fetch-and-Add Unit register).  That way it can never get out of sync
with itself.

We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time.
If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference.
The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot
claim the same buffers.

David Daney f696a10838 Staging: octeon-ethernet: Convert to use net_device_ops.
Convert the driver to use net_device_ops as it is now mandatory.

Also compensate for the removal of struct sk_buff's dst field.

The changes are mostly mechanical, the content of ethernet-common.c
was moved to ethernet.c and ethernet-common.{c,h} are removed.
