1f4a0244ff ixgbe: DCB, PFC not cleared until reset occurs
The PFC configuration is not cleared until the device is reset. This
has not been a problem because setting DCB attributes forced a
hardware reset. Now that we no longer require this reset to occur
PFC remains configured even after being disabled until the
device is reset.

This removes a goto in the PFC hardware set routines for 82598 and
82599 devices that was short circuiting the clear.

ff4ab20611 ixgbe: add support for VF Transmit rate limit using iproute2
Implemented ixgbe_ndo_set_vf_bw function which is being used by iproute2
tool. In addition, updated ixgbe_ndo_get_vf_config function to show the
actual rate limit to the user.

The rate limitation can be configured only when the link is up and the
link speed is 10Gb.
The rate limit value can be 0 or ranged between 11 and actual link
speed measured in Mbps. A value of '0' disables the rate limit for
this specific VF.

iproute2 usage will be 'ip link set ethX vf Y rate Z'.
After the command is made, the rate will be changed instantly.
To view the current rate limit, use 'ip link show ethX'.

The rates will be zeroed only upon driver reload or a link speed change.

This feature is being supported by 82599 and X540 devices.

7e7eb43463 ixgbe: remove timer reset to 0 on timeout
The VF mailbox polling for acks and messages would reset the timer to zero
on a timeout. Under heavy load a timeout may actually occur without being
the result of an error and when this occurs it is not practical to perform
a full VF driver reset on every message timeout. Instead, just return an
error (which is already done) and the VF driver will have an opportunity
to retry the operation.

17049d30c2 ixgbe: IEEE 802.1Qaz, implement priority assignment table
This patch adds support to use the priority assignment
table in the ieee_ets structure to map priorities to
traffic classes. Previously ixgbe only supported a
1:1 mapping. Now we can enable and disable hardware
DCB support when multiple traffic classes are actually
being used. This allows the default case all priorities
mapped to traffic class 0 to work in normal hardware
mode and utilize the full packet buffer.

This patch does not address putting the hardware in
4TC mode so packet buffer space may be underutilized
in this case. A follow up patch can address this
optimization. But at least we have the hooks to do
this now.

Also CEE will behave as it always has and map priorities
1:1 with traffic classes.

e5b6463557 ixgbe: DCB, use multiple Tx rings per traffic class
This enables multiple {Tx|Rx} rings per traffic class while in DCB
mode. In order to get this working as expected the tc_to_tx net
device mapping is configured as well as the prio_tc_map.

skb priorities are mapped across a range of queue pairs to get
a distribution per traffic class. The maximum number of
queue pairs used while in DCB mode is capped at 64. The hardware
max is actually 128 queues but 64 is sufficient for now and
allocating more seemed a bit excessive. It is easy enough to
increase the cap later if need be.

To get the 802.1Q priority tags inserted correctly ixgbe was
previously using the skb queue_mapping field to directly set
the 802.1Q priority. This no longer works because we have removed
the 1:1 mapping between queues and traffic class. Each ring
is aligned with an 802.1Qaz traffic class so here we add an
extra field to the ring struct to identify the 802.1Q traffic
class. This uses an extra byte of the ixgbe_ring struct
fortunately there was a 2byte hole,

struct ixgbe_ring {
        void *                     desc;                 /*     0     8 */
        struct device *            dev;                  /*     8     8 */
        struct net_device *        netdev;               /*    16     8 */
        union {
                struct ixgbe_tx_buffer * tx_buffer_info; /*           8 */
                struct ixgbe_rx_buffer * rx_buffer_info; /*           8 */
        };                                               /*    24     8 */
        long unsigned int          state;                /*    32     8 */
        u8                         atr_sample_rate;      /*    40     1 */
        u8                         atr_count;            /*    41     1 */
        u16                        count;                /*    42     2 */
        u16                        rx_buf_len;           /*    44     2 */
        u16                        next_to_use;          /*    46     2 */
        u16                        next_to_clean;        /*    48     2 */
        u8                         queue_index;          /*    50     1 */
        u8                         reg_idx;              /*    51     1 */
        u16                        work_limit;           /*    52     2 */

        /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

        u8 *                       tail;                 /*    56     8 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */

Now we can set the VLAN priority directly and it will be
correct. User space can indicate the 802.1Qaz priority
using the SO_PRIORITY setsocket() option and QOS layer will
steer the skb to the correct rings. Additionally using
the multiq qdisc with a queue_mapping action works as
well.

3032309b49 ixgbe: DCB, implement capabilities flags
This implements dcbnl get and set capabilities ops. The
devices supported by ixgbe can be configured to run in
IEEE or CEE modes but not both.

With the DCBX set capabilities bit we add an explicit
signal that must be used to toggle between these modes.
This patch adds logic to fail the CEE command set_hw_all()
which programs the device with a CEE configuration if
the CEE caps bit is not set. Similarly, IEEE set
commands will fail if the IEEE caps bit is not set. We
allow most CEE config set commands to occur because they
do not touch the hardware until set_hw_all() is called.

The one exception to the above is the {set|get}app routines.
These must always be protected by caps bits to ensure
side effects do not corrupt the current configured mode.

By requiring the caps bit to be set correctly we can
maintain a consistent configuration in the hardware
for CEE or IEEE modes and prevent partial hardware
configurations that may occur if user space does
not send a complete IEEE or CEE configurations.

It is expected that user space will signal a DCBX mode
before programming device.

36e39c40b3 Btrfs: break out of shrink_delalloc earlier
Josef had changed shrink_delalloc to exit after three shrink
attempts, which wasn't quite enough because new writers could
race in and steal free space.

But it also fixed deadlocks and stalls as we tried to recover
delalloc reservations.  The code was tweaked to loop 1024
times, and would reset the counter any time a small amount
of progress was made.  This was too drastic, and with a
lot of writers we can end up stuck in shrink_delalloc forever.

The shrink_delalloc loop is fairly complex because the caller is looping
too, and the caller will go ahead and force a transaction commit to make
sure we reclaim space.

This reworks things to exit shrink_delalloc when we've forced some
writeback and the delalloc reservations have gone down.  This means
the writeback has not just started but has also finished at
least some of the metadata changes required to reclaim delalloc
space.

If we've got this wrong, we're returning ENOSPC too early, which
is a big improvement over the current behavior of hanging the machine.

Test 224 in xfstests hammers on this nicely, and with 1000 writers
trying to fill a 1GB drive we get our first ENOSPC at 93% full.  The
other writers are able to continue until we get 100%.

This is a worst case test for btrfs because the 1000 writers are doing
small IO, and the small FS size means we don't have a lot of room
for metadata chunks.

56396e6823 x86-64, NUMA: Don't call numa_set_distanc() for all possible node combinations during emulation
The distance transforming in numa_emulation() used to call
numa_set_distance() for all MAX_NUMNODES * MAX_NUMNODES node
combinations regardless of which are enabled.  As numa_set_distance()
ignores all out-of-bound distance settings, this doesn't cause any
problem other than looping unnecessarily many times during boot.

However, as MAX_NUMNODES * MAX_NUMNODES can be pretty high, update the
code such that it iterates through only the enabled combinations.

Yinghai Lu identified the issue and provided an initial patch to
address the issue; however, the patch was incorrect in that it didn't

d209a699a0 genirq: Add chip flag to force mask on suspend
On suspend we disable all interrupts in the core code, but this does
not mask the interrupt line in the default implementation as we use a
lazy disable approach. That means we mark the interrupt disabled, but
leave the hardware unmasked. That's an optimization because we avoid
the hardware access for the common case where no interrupt happens
after we marked it disabled. If an interrupt happens, then the
interrupt flow handler masks the line at the hardware level and marks
it pending.

Suspend makes use of this delayed disable as it "disables" all
interrupts when preparing the suspend transition. Right before the
system goes into hardware suspend state it checks whether one of the
interrupts which is marked as a wakeup interrupt came in after
disabling it.

Most interrupt chips have a separate register which selects the
interrupts which can wake up the system from suspend, so we don't have
to mask any on the non wakeup interrupts.

But now we have to deal with brilliant designed hardware which lacks
such a wakeup configuration facility. For such hardware it's necessary
to mask all non wakeup interrupts before going into suspend in order
to avoid the wakeup from random interrupts.

Rather than working around this in the affected interrupt chip
implementations we can solve this elegant in the core code itself.

Add a flag IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND which can be set by the irq chip
implementation to indicate, that the interrupts which are not selected
as wakeup sources must be masked in the suspend path. Mask them in the
loop which checks the wakeup interrupts pending flag.

371c394af2 x86, binutils, xen: Fix another wrong size directive
The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build
yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that
refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very
strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol.

[ mingo:

   This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils
   version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning
   several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream
   kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially
   affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs).

   Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch
   bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8:

     3d75e1b8        (Jeremy Fitzhardinge    2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback)   # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)

   The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END()
   debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the
   ENTRY() and the END():

     ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback)   # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs)
       ...
     END(do_hypervisor_callback)

   Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils
   never even warned about it either.

   This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels
   since v2.6.27, out of the blue.

   This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels
   impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred
   thousand historic commits. (!)

   This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn
   this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ]
