Ben Hutchings c3c6336504 sfc: Enable heuristic selection between page and skb RX buffers
Now that we can tell whether GRO is being applied, this heuristic is
effective once more.

Ben Hutchings 18e1d2beb6 sfc: Feed GRO result into RX allocation policy and interrupt moderation
When GRO is successfully merging received packets, we should allocate
raw page buffers rather than skbs that will be discarded by GRO.
Otherwise, we should allocate skbs.

GRO also benefits from higher interrupt moderation, so increase the
score for mergeable RX packets.

Ben Hutchings 345056af41 sfc: Set ip_summed correctly for page buffers passed to GRO
Page buffers containing packets with an incorrect checksum or using a
protocol not handled by hardware checksum offload were previously not
passed to LRO.  The conversion to GRO changed this, but did not set
the ip_summed value accordingly.

Herbert Xu 76620aafd6 gro: New frags interface to avoid copying shinfo
It turns out that copying a 16-byte area at ~800k times a second
can be really expensive :) This patch redesigns the frags GRO
interface to avoid copying that area twice.

The two disciples of the frags interface have been converted.

Herbert Xu da3bc07171 sfc: Replace LRO with GRO
This patch makes sfc invoke the GRO hooks instead of LRO.  As
GRO has a compatible external interface to LRO this is a very
straightforward replacement.

Everything should appear identical to the user except that the
offload is now controlled by the GRO ethtool option instead of
LRO.  I've kept the lro module parameter as is since that's for
compatibility only.

I have eliminated efx_rx_mk_skb as the GRO layer can take care
of all packets regardless of whether GRO is enabled or not.

So the only case where we don't call GRO is if the packet checksum
is absent.  This is to keep the behaviour changes of the patch to
a minimum.

David S. Miller babcda74e9 drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

FUJITA Tomonori 8d8bb39b9e dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:

This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).

I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.

A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.

If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.

The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.

The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.

This patch:

dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.

Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.
