Sathya Perla 2b3f291bf9 be2net: fix certain cmd failure logging
Some (older)versions of cards/fw may not recognize certain cmds and
return illegal/unsupported errors. As long as the driver can handle
this gracefully there is no need to log an error msg.
Also finetuned 2 existing error log messages.

Amit Kumar Salecha e1428d26b4 qlcnic: add external loopback support
o Add external loopback test in self test:
  - Send set external loopback mode request to fw.
     To quiscent other storage functions.
  - Perform test
  - Send unset loopback mode request to fw.

o Rename ilb to lb.
o Update driver version 5.0.20.

Amit Kumar Salecha 0209bcd4d9 net: add external loopback test in ethtool self test
External loopback test can be performed by application without any driver
support on normal Ethernet cards.
But on CNA devices, where multiple functions share same physical port.
Here internal loopback test and external loopback test can be initiated by
multiple functions at same time. To co exist all functions, firmware need
to regulate what test can be run by which function. So before performing external
loopback test, command need to send to firmware, which will quiescent other functions.

User may not want to run external loopback test always. As special cable need to be
connected for this test.
So adding explicit flag in ethtool self test, which will specify interface
to perform external loopback test.
 ETH_TEST_FL_EXTERNAL_LB: Application set to request external loopback test
 ETH_TEST_FL_EXTERNAL_LB_DONE: Driver ack if test performed

Vasanthy Kolluri ea7ea65a3b enic: Add support to configure hardware interrupt coalesce timers in a platform independent way
enic driver and the underlying hardware use different units for representing the interrupt coalesce timer.
Driver converts the interrupt coalesce timer in usec to hardware cycles while setting the relevant hardware
registers. The conversion factor can be different for each of the adapter hardware types. So it is dynamically
learnt from the adapter firmware using the devcmd CMD_INTR_COAL_CONVERT. This allows the driver to configure
the hardware interrupt coalesce timers in a platform independent way.

 - unless there is a confirmed h/w fault, verify that a stuck

 - this removes an egregious 2000ms pause in the watchdog worker that

Jesse Gross 213ade8ca8 vmxnet3: Enable GRO support.
When receiving packets from another guest on the same hypervisor, it's
generally possible to receive large packets because no segmentation is
necessary and these packets are handled by LRO.  However, when doing
routing or bridging we must disable LRO and lose this benefit.  In
these cases GRO can still be used and it is very effective because the
packets which are segmented in the hypervisor are received very close
together and can easily be merged.

slides. These results are for a 10Gige IXGBE intel
nic - on another i5 machine, very similar specs to
the one used in the netconf2011 results.
It turns out - this is a hell lot worse than dummy
and so this patch is even more beneficial for 10G.

Test setup:
----------

System under test sending packets out.
Additional box connected directly dropping packets.
Installed prio qdisc on the eth device and default
netdev default length of 1000 used as is.
The 3 prio bands each were set to 100 (didnt factor in
the results).

5 packet runs were made and the middle 3 picked.

results
-------

The "cpu" column indicates the which cpu the sample
was taken on,
The "Pkt runx" carries the number of packets a cpu
dequeued when forced to be in the "dequeuer" role.
The "avg" for each run is the number of times each
cpu should be a "dequeuer" if the system was fair.

As you can see the system is still not perfect but
is a lot better than what it was before...

At the moment we use the old backlog weight, weight_p
which is 64 packets. It seems to be reasonably fine
with that value.
The system could be made more fair if we reduce the
weight_p (as per my presentation), but we are going
to affect the shared backlog weight. Unless deemed
necessary, I think the default value is fine. If not
we could add yet another knob.
