Ben Hutchings a2589027ff sfc: Make efx_for_each_channel_rx_queue() more efficient
Currently each channel can have at most one RX queue, so go straight to

Ben Hutchings 60ac10658c sfc: Use separate hardware TX queues to select checksum generation
Checksum generation is an attribute of our hardware TX queues, not TX
descriptors.  We previously used a single queue and turned checksum
generation on or off as requested through ethtool.  However, this can
result in regenerating checksums in raw packets that should not be
modified.  We now create 2 hardware TX queues with checksum generation
on or off.  They are presented to the net core as one queue since it
does not know how to select between them.

The self-test verifies that a bad checksum is unaltered on the queue
with checksum generation off.

FUJITA Tomonori 8d8bb39b9e dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:

This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).

I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.

A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.

If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.

The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.

The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.

This patch:

dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.

Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

Ben Hutchings aa6ef27ea9 sfc: Create one RX queue and interrupt per CPU package by default
Using multiple cores in the same package to handle received traffic
does not appear to provide a performance benefit.  Therefore use CPU
topology information to count CPU packages and use that as the default
number of RX queues and interrupts.  We rely on interrupt balancing to
spread the interrupts across packages.

Ben Hutchings 75f2d3eac9 [netdrvr] sfc: Add phy_flash_cfg module parameter and implementation
The 10Xpress PHY supports flash upgrades through MDIO, but needs to be
put in upgrade mode at power-up.  This adds a module parameter and other
logic to support that.

Ben Hutchings b9b39b625c [netdrvr] sfc: Add TSO support
The SFC4000 controller does not have hardware support for TSO, and the
core GSO code incurs a high cost in allocating and freeing skbs.  This
TSO implementation uses lightweight packet header structures and is
substantially faster.
