2012-05-16mISDN: avmfritz use the bigger fifo of chip version 2Karsten Keil

2012-05-16net/mlx4_core: Fix potential kernel Oops in res tracker during Dom0 driver ↵Jack Morgenstein
unload Currently the slave and master resources are deleted after master freed all bitmaps. If any resources were not properly cleaned up during the shutdown process, an Oops would result. Fix so that delete slave (only) resources during cleanup. Master resources are cleaned up during unload process, and need not separately be cleaned. Note that during cleanup, we need to split the resource-tracker freeing functionality. Before removing all the bitmaps, we free any leftover slave resources. However, we can only remove the resource tracker linked list after all bitmap frees, since some of the freeing functions (e.g., mlx4_cleanup_eq_table) use paravirtualized FW commands which expect the resource tracker linked list to be present.

2012-05-16net/mlx4_core: Do not reset module-parameter num_vfs when fail to enable sriovJack Morgenstein
Consider the following scenario: 2 HCAs, where only one of which can run SRIOV. If we reset the module parameter, all the VFs of the SRIOV HCA will be claimed by the PPF host (-- the code relies on num_vfs being non-zero to avoid this claiming, and num_vfs was reset when pci_enable_sriov failed for the non-SRIOV HCA). The solution is not to touch the num_vfs parameter. Also, eliminate the unneeded check of num_vfs when disabling sriov (the dev flag bit is sufficient).

2012-05-16net/mlx4_core: Fix init_port mask state for slavesJack Morgenstein
In function mlx4_INIT_PORT_wrapper, the port state mask for the slave is only set if we are invoking the INIT_PORT fw command. However, the reference count for the (initialized) port is incremented anyway. This creates a problem in that when we have multiple slaves, then the CLOSE_PORT command will never be invoked. The reason is that in the CLOSE_PORT wrapper, if the port-state mask is zero for the slave (which it is), the wrapper returns without doing anything. The only slave which will not return immediately in the CLOSE_PORT wrapper is that slave for which INIT_PORT was invoked. The fix is to not have the port-state mask setting depend on the logic for calling the INIT_PORT fw command.

2012-05-12usb/net: rndis: merge media type definitionsLinus Walleij
Let's have a unified table of RNDIS media. We used to have a similar table with NDIS_* prefix from the gadget driver, but since we're only using RNDIS in the kernel (IIRC NDIS, non-remote, is for the windows- internal network drivers so what do we care) let's prefix everything with RNDIS. Some of the definitions were conflicting, in one of the defines 0x0B is bearer "CO WAN" and in two others "BPC". Well I took the majority vote. Two definition of medium 0x09 calls it "wireless WAN" but one vote for "wireless LAN" but in this case I am sticking with the minority, "Wide Area Network" does not make much sense in this case as far as I can tell. NOTE: latin singular and plural is so screwed up in these defines that it makes my eyes bleed. But I will not attempt to submit a patch converting all use of _MEDIA_ to _MEDIUM_ while I can probably tell from the semantics of the code that RNDIS_MEDIA_STATE_CONNECTED is most probably (erroneously) referring to a singular, unless it can return an array of connected media. I suspect these erroneous plurals are used in documentation and such so I don't want to mess around with things for no functional change.

2012-05-09ixgbe: Hardware Timestamping + PTP Hardware Clock (PHC)Jacob Keller
This patch enables hardware timestamping for use with PTP software by extracting a ns counter from an arbitrary fixed point cycles counter. The hardware generates SYSTIME registers using the DMA tick which changes based on the current link speed. These SYSTIME registers are converted to ns using the cyclecounter and timecounter structures provided by the kernel. Using the SO_TIMESTAMPING api, software can enable and access timestamps for PTP packets. The SO_TIMESTAMPING API has space for 3 different kinds of timestamps, SYS, RAW, and SOF. SYS hardware timestamps are hardware ns values that are then scaled to the software clock. RAW hardware timestamps are the direct raw value of the ns counter. SOF software timestamps are the software timestamp calculated as close as possible to the software transmit, but are not offloaded to the hardware. This patch only supports the RAW hardware timestamps due to inefficiency of the SYS design. This patch also enables the PHC subsystem features for atomically adjusting the cycle register, and adjusting the clock frequency in parts per billion. This frequency adjustment works by slightly adjusting the value added to the cycle registers each DMA tick. This causes the hardware registers to overflow rapidly (approximately once every 34 seconds, when at 10gig link). To solve this, the timecounter structure is used, along with a timer set for every 25 seconds. This allows for detecting register overflow and converting the cycle counter registers into ns values needed for providing useful timestamps to the network stack. Only the basic required clock functions are supported at this time, although the hardware supports some ancillary features and these could easily be enabled in the future. Note that use of this hardware timestamping requires modifying daemon software to use the SO_TIMESTAMPING API for timestamps, and the ptp_clock PHC framework for accessing the clock. The timestamps have no relation to the system time at all, so software must use the posix clock generated by the PHC framework instead.
