The definition of this variable is just to find the length of the
structure after aligning the structure. The PTR alignment function
is to optimize the size of the structure. In fact, it doesn't seem
to be of much use, because both members of the structure are of
type u32.
So I think that the definition of the variable and the
corresponding alignment can be deleted, the value of extralen can
be directly passed in the size of the structure.

===================
lan78xx NAPI Performance Improvements
This patch set introduces a set of changes to the lan78xx driver
that were originally developed as part of an investigation into
the performance of TCP and UDP transfers on an Android system.
The changes increase the throughput of both UDP and TCP transfers
and reduce the overall CPU load.
These improvements are also seen on a standard Linux kernel. Typical
results are included at the end of this document.
The changes to the driver evolved over time. The patches presented
here attempt to organise the changes in to coherent blocks that
affect logically connected parts of the driver. The patches do not
reflect the way in which the code evolved during the performance
investigation.
Each patch produces a working driver that has an incremental
improvement but patches 2, 3 and 6 should be considered a single
update.
The changes affect the following parts of the driver:
1. Deferred URB processing
The deferred URB processing that was originally done by a tasklet
is now done by a NAPI polling routine. The NAPI cycle has a fixed
work budget that controls how many received frames are passed to
the network stack.
Patch 6 introduces the NAPI polling but depends on preceding patches.
The new NAPI polling routine is also responsible for submitting
Rx and Tx URBs to the USB host controller.
Moving the URB processing to a NAPI-based system "smoothed"
incoming and outgoing data flows on the Android system under
investigation. However, taken in isolation, moving from a tasklet
approach to a NAPI approach made little or no difference to the
overall performance.
2. URB buffer management
The driver creates a pool of Tx and a pool of Rx URB buffers. Each
buffer is large enough to accommodate a packet with the maximum MTU
data. URBs are allocated from these pools as required.
Patch 2 introduces the new Tx buffer pool.
Patch 3 introduces the new Rx buffer pool.
3. Tx pending data
SKBs containing data to be transmitted are added to a queue. The
driver tracks free Tx URBs and the corresponding free Tx URB space.
When new Tx URBs are submitted, pending data is copied into the
URB buffer until the URB buffer is filled or there is no more
pending data. This maximises utilisation the LAN78xx internal
USB and network frame buffers.
New Tx URBs are submitted to the USB host controller as part of the
NAPI polling cycle.
Patch 2 introduces these changes.
4. Rx URB completion
A new URB is no longer submitted as part of the URB completion
callback.
New URBs are submitted during the NAPI polling cycle.
Patch 3 introduces these changes.
5. Rx URB processing
Completed URBs are put on to queue for processing (as is done in the
current driver). Network packets in completed URBs are copied from
the URB buffer in to dynamically allocated SKBs and passed to
the network stack.
The emptied URBs are resubmitted to the USB host controller.
Patch 3 introduces this change. Patch 6 updates the change to use
NAPI SKBs.
Each packet passed to the network stack is a single NAPI work item.
If the NAPI work budget is exhausted the remaining packets in the
URB are put onto an overflow queue that is processed at the start
of the next NAPI cycle.
Patch 6 introduces this change.
6. Driver-specific hard_header_len
The driver-specific hard_header_len adjustment was removed as it
broke generic receive offload (GRO) processing. Moreover, it was no
longer required due the change in Tx pending data management (see
point 3. above).
Patch 5 introduces this change.
The modification has been tested on four different target machines:
Target | CPU | ARCH | cores | kernel | RAM |
-----------------+------------+---------+-------+--------+-------|
Raspberry Pi 4B | Cortex-A72 | aarch64 | 4 | 64-bit | 2 GB |

Compaq Pressario | Pentium D | i686 | 2 | 32-bit | 4 GB |
Dell T3620 | Core i3 | x86_64 | 2+2 | 64-bit | 16 GB |
The targets, apart from the Compaq, each have an on-chip USB3 host
controller. A PCIe-based USB3 host controller card was added to the
Compaq to provide the necessary USB3 host interface.
The network throughput was measured using iperf3. The peer device was
a second Dell T3620 fitted with an Intel i210 network interface. The
target machine and the peer device were connected via a Netgear GS105
gigabit switch.
The CPU load was measured using mpstat running on the target machine.
The tables below summarise the throughput and CPU load improvements
achieved by the updated driver.
The bandwidth is the average bandwidth reported by iperf3 at the end
of a 60-second test.
The percentage idle figure is the average idle reported across all
CPU cores on the target machine for the duration of the test.

This patch introduces a NAPI-style approach for processing completed
Rx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing
CPU load.
Packets in completed URBs are copied to NAPI SKBs and passed to the
network stack for processing. Each frame passed to the stack is one
work item in the NAPI budget.
If the NAPI budget is consumed and frames remain, they are added to
an overflow queue that is processed at the start of the next NAPI
polling cycle.
The NAPI handler is also responsible for copying pending Tx data to
Tx URBs and submitting them to the USB host controller for
transmission.

This patch introduces a new approach to allocating and managing
Rx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing
CPU load.
A pool of Rx URBs is created during driver instantiation. All the
URBs are initially submitted to the USB host controller for
processing.
The default URB buffer size is different for each USB bus speed.
The chosen sizes provide good USB utilisation with little impact on
overall packet latency.
Completed URBs are processed in the driver bottom half. The URB
buffer contents are copied to a dynamically allocated SKB, which is
then passed to the network stack. The URB is then re-submitted to
the USB host controller.
NOTE: the call to skb_copy() in rx_process() that copies the URB
contents to a new SKB is a temporary change to make this patch work
in its own right. This call will be removed when the NAPI processing
is introduced by patch 6 in this patch set.

This patch introduces a new approach to allocating and managing
Tx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing
CPU load.
A pool of Tx URBs is created during driver instantiation. A URB is
allocated from the pool when there is data to transmit. The URB is
released back to the pool when the data has been transmitted by the
device.
The default URB buffer size is different for each USB bus speed.
The chosen sizes provide good USB utilisation with little impact on
overall packet latency.
SKBs to be transmitted are added to a pending queue for processing.
The driver tracks the available Tx URB buffer space and copies as
much pending data as possible into each free URB. Each full URB
is then submitted to the USB host controller for transmission.

PSFP rules take effect on the streams from any port of VSC9959 switch.
This patch use ingress port to limit the rule only active on this port.
Each stream can only match two ingress source ports in VSC9959. Streams
from lowest port gets the configuration of SFID pointed by MAC Table
lookup and streams from highest port gets the configuration of (SFID+1)
pointed by MAC Table lookup. This patch defines the PSFP rule on highest
port as dummy rule, which means that it does not modify the MAC table.

VSC9959 supports Per-Stream Filtering and Policing(PSFP) that complies
with the IEEE 802.1Qci standard. The stream is identified by Null stream
identification(DMAC and VLAN ID) defined in IEEE802.1CB.
For PSFP, four tables need to be set up: stream table, stream filter
table, stream gate table, and flow meter table. Identify the stream by
parsing the tc flower keys and add it to the stream table. The stream
filter table is automatically maintained, and its index is determined by
SGID(flow gate index) and FMID(flow meter index).

10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2021-11-17
Radoslaw Tyl says:
The change is a consequence of errors reported by the ixgbevf driver
while starting several virtual guests at the same time on ESX host.
During this, VF was not able to communicate correctly with the PF,
as a result reported "PF still in reset state. Is the PF interface up?"
and then goes to locked state. The only thing left was to reload
the VF driver on the guest OS.
The background of the problem is that the current PFU and VFU
semaphore locking mechanism between sender and receiver may cause
overriding Mailbox memory (VFMBMEM), in such scenario receiver of
the original message will read the invalid, corrupted or one (or more)
message may be lost.
This change is actually as a support for communication with PF ESX
driver and does not contains changes and support for ixgbe driver.
For maintain backward compatibility, previous communication method
has been preserved in the form of LEGACY functions.
In the future there is a plan to add a support for a 1.5 mailbox API
communication also to ixgbe driver.

Improve reliability of the mailbox communication and remove

Recently some users reported issues on ESX with 10G Intel NICs which were
found to be caused by incorrect implementation of the PF-VF mailbox
communication.
Technical investigation highlighted areas to improve in the communication
between PF or VF that wants to send the message (sender) and the other
part which receives the message (receiver):
- Locking the mailbox when the sender wants to send a message
- Releasing the mailbox when the communication ends
- Returning the result of the mailbox message execution

Add new handling for error codes:
IXGBE_ERR_CONFIG - ixgbe_mbx_operations is not correctly set
IXGBE_ERR_TIMEOUT - mailbox operation, e.g. poll for message, timeout

There is name similarity within IXGBE_VT_MSGTYPE_ACK and
PFMAILBOX.ACK / VFMAILBOX.ACK. MSGTYPE macros are renamed to SUCCESS and
FAILURE because they are not specified in datasheet and now will be
easily distinguishable.

====================
net: make dev_watchdog() less intrusive
dev_watchdog() is used on many NIC to periodically monitor TX queues
to detect hangs.
Problem is : It stops all queues, then check them, then 'unfreeze' them.
Not only this stops feeding the NIC, it also migrates all qdiscs
to be serviced on the cpu calling netif_tx_unlock(), causing
a potential latency artifact.
With many TX queues, this is becoming more visible.

These are not fast path, there is no point in inlining them.
Also provide netif_freeze_queues()/netif_unfreeze_queues()
so that we can use them from dev_watchdog() in the following patch.

In following patches, dev_watchdog() will no longer stop all queues.
It will read queue->trans_start locklessly.

tx_timeout_show() assumed dev_watchdog() would stop all
the queues, to fetch queue->trans_timeout under protection
of the queue->_xmit_lock.
As we want to no longer disrupt transmits, we use an
atomic_long_t instead.

If the used PHYs also support hardware timestamping, all configuration requests
should be forwared to the PHYs instead of being processed by the MAC driver
itself.
This enables PHY timestamping in combination with the cpsw driver.
Tested with an am335x based board with two DP83640 PHYs connected to the cpsw
switch.
