b953799ee2 ixgbe: reorder Tx cleanup so that if adapter will reset we don't rearm
The code as it existed could re-arm the queues when it was requesting a HW
reset due to a TX hang. Instead of doing that this change makes it so that
we will just exit if the hardware is believed to be hung.

80fba3f434 ixgbe: Disable RSC when ITR setting is too high to allow RSC
RSC will flush its descriptors every time the interrupt throttle timer
expires.  In addition there are known issues with RSC when the rx-usecs
value is set too low.  As such we are forced to clear the RSC_ENABLED bit
and reset the adapter when the rx-usecs value is set too low.

However we do not need to clear the NETIF_F_LRO flag because it is used to
indicate that the user wants to leave the LRO feature enabled, and in fact
with this change we will now re-enable RSC as soon as the rx-usecs value is
increased and the flag is still set.

73c4b7cdd2 ixgbe: cleanup race conditions in link setup
This change makes it so that we perform link setup with interrupts
disabled. If the SFP has not been detected previously we will schedule the
SFP detection task to run in order to detect link.  By doing this we avoid
the possibility of interrupts firing in the middle of our link setup during
ixgbe_up_complete.

In addition this change makes it so that the multi-speed fiber setup and SFP
setup are not mutually exclusive.  The addresses issues seen in which a
link would only come up at 1G on some multi-speed fiber modules.

7d637bcc8f ixgbe: add a state flags to ring
This change adds a set of state flags to the rings that allow them to
independently function allowing for features like RSC, packet split, and
TX hang detection to be done per ring instead of for the entire device.

This is accomplished by re-purposing the flow director reinit_state member
and making it a global state instead since a long for a single bit flag is
a bit wasteful.

33cf09c958 ixgbe: move CPU variable from ring into q_vector, add ring->q_vector
This is the start of work to sort out what belongs in the rings and what
belongs in the q_vector. Items like the CPU variable for make much more
sense in the q_vector since the CPU is a per-interrupt thing rather than a
per ring thing.

c60fbb00f0 ixgbe: move adapter into pci_dev driver data instead of netdev
This change moves an adapter pointer into the private portion of the
pci_dev instead of a pointer to the netdev. The reason for this change is
because in most cases we just want the adapter anyway. In addition as we
start moving toward multiple netdevs per port we may want to move the
adapter pointer out of the netdevs entirely.

5f5ae6fc86 ixgbe: move ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme to before pci_save_state
The main reason for this change is to keep the suspend/resume logic matched
up. The clear_interrupt_scheme function will disable MSI-X which will
effect the PCIe configuration space. Therefore we will want to do it before
we save state to avoid having the interrupt state restored by
pci_restore_state, and then trying to re-enable MSI/MSI-X interrupts via
ixgbe_setup_interrupt_scheme.

fc77dc3cc1 ixgbe: add a netdev pointer to the ring structure
This change places a netdev pointer directly into the ring structure. This
way we can avoid having to determine which netdev we are supposed to be
using and can just access the one on the ring directly.
As a result of this change further collapse of the code is possible by
dropping the adapter from ixgbe_alloc_rx_buffers, and the netdev pointer
from ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring_adv and ixgbe_maybe_stop_tx.

84ea2591e4 ixgbe: drop ring->head, make ring->tail a pointer instead of offset
This change drops ring->head since it is not used in any hot-path and can
easily be determined using IXGBE_[RT]DH(ring->reg_idx).

It also changes ring->tail into a true pointer so we can avoid unnecessary
pointer math to find the location of the tail.

In addition I also dropped the setting of head and tail in
ixgbe_clean_[rx|tx]_ring. The only location that should be setting the head
and tail values is ixgbe_configure_[rx|tx]_ring and that is only while the
queue is disabled.

16b61beb39 ixgbe: DCB set PFC high and low water marks per data sheet specs
Currently the high and low water marks for PFC are being set
conservatively for jumbo frames. This means the RX buffers
are being underutilized in the default 1500 MTU. This patch
fixes this so that the water marks are set as described in
the data sheet considering the MTU size.

The equation used is,

RTT * 1.44 + MTU * 1.44 + MTU

Where RTT is the round trip time and MTU is the max frame size
in KB. To avoid floating point arithmetic FC_HIGH_WATER is
defined

((((RTT + MTU) * 144) + 99) / 100) + MTU

This changes how the hardware field fc.low_water and
fc.high_water are used. With this change they are no longer
storing the actual low water and high water markers but are
storing the required head room in the buffer. This simplifies
the logic and we do not need to account for the size of the
buffer when setting the thresholds.

Testing with iperf and 16 threads showed a slight uptick in
throughput over a single traffic class .1-.2Gbps and a reduction
in pause frames. Without the patch a 30 second run would show
~10-15 pause frames being transmitted with the patch ~2-5 are
seen. Test were run back to back with 82599.

Note RXPBSIZE is in KB and low and high water marks fields are
also in KB. However the FCRT* registers are 32B granularity and
right shifted 5 into the register,

(((rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 1024) / 32) << 5

is the most explicit conversion here we simplify

(rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 32 << 5 = (rx_pbsize - water_mark) << 10

This patch updates the PFC thresholds and legacy FC thresholds.

1a51502bdd ixgbe: delay rx_ring freeing
"cat /proc/net/dev" uses RCU protection only.

Its quite possible we call a driver get_stats() method while device is
dismantling and freeing its data structures.

So get_stats() methods must be very careful not accessing driver private
data without appropriate locking.

In ixgbe case, we access rx_ring pointers. These pointers are freed in
ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme() and set to NULL, this can trigger NULL
dereference in ixgbe_get_stats64()

A possible fix is to use RCU locking in ixgbe_get_stats64() and defer
rx_ring freeing after a grace period in ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme()

net/wireless/sme.c:__cfg80211_connect_result(), WARN_ON(!bss).

Workaround this by crafting bss manually with information we can read from
device. Workaround is only used when device bss-list does not return current
bss, and so is only used with BCM4320a devices and not newer BCM4320b ones.

Fixes bug #20152.

d1f9e41d1d mwl8k: use const struct fw pointers throughout
This eliminates compiler warnings by doing things how the
firmware class expects.

9902047100 mwl8k: make initial firmware load asynchronous
Introduce a firmware loading state machine to manage the process
of loading firmware asynchronously and completing initialization
upon success.  The state machine attempts to load the preferred
firmware image.  If that fails, and if an alternative firmware
image is available, it will attempt to load that one.

952a0e963f mwl8k: add API version checking for AP firmware
The AP firmware specifies an API version in the GET_HW_SPEC
command response.  Currently, the driver only supports AP
firmware for the 8366, and only supports API v1.  In the future,
if higher API version firmwares emerge (possibly for different
chips), different ops can be selected based on the reported API
version.

0863ade8d6 mwl8k: choose proper firmware image as directed by user
The mwl8k can operate in AP or STA mode, depending on the
firmware image that is loaded.  By default, STA firmware is
loaded.  Allow the user to override this default mode at
module load time.  This saves an unnecessary firmware reload
for users only interested in AP mode.

Also, the firmware image can be swapped to meet the user's
add_interface request.  For example, suppose the STA
firmware is loaded, no STA interface has been added, and the
user adds an AP interface.  In this case, the AP firmware
will be loaded to meet the request.
